Review: Ragnarok is a Korean manwha. NO difference that I know of from manga other than it's Korean. Me, being the big fantasy fan that I am, just had to buy this. It might also have to do with the fact that I was playing Valkyrie Profile... which is about a Ragnarok in Midgard. Much the same to this manwha! Anyways, one might have heard of Ragnarok Online. This manwha is what that game is based on... or so I believe because I'm pretty sure that's what Lee said in one of the after the manwha thingies... This is a great read! Lots of action, awesome characters (even though some of the firls could use more to their tops), and a fabulous storyline. You get both perspectives to the story, the antagonist and protaganist. There also seems to be some hidden parts of the plot that are started to seep up. Like what's up with Sara Irene, working for the bad Freya, and Iris Irene, fighting for the good of Midgard, being sisters that they didn't know they were? Or what's up with Loki, part of now deceased assasins guild, being part of Chaos', reincarnation kinda thing of Odin'd son (forgot his name) memory problem? Anyways, this is a manga for people who enjoy a good fantasy, with lots of action, a little romance, and major thinking skills! Also, if you're not up for an exceptionally long manga don't get to into this one. Lee announced in one of the interviews at the end of one of the graphic novels that this manga will be something like fourty to fifty books long... |
