Kazan

Type: Manga
Status: Ongoing

Premise: After his village of nomads was wiped out by a malevolent water demon and his best friend stolen away, Kazan an 8 year old child now wanders the deserts in search of clues surrounding the circumstances of this disaster. Accompanied by his pet/companion white eagle and a strange girl possessing the ability to produce water from her hands as well as several characters picked up on rout the only thing keeping them going is quick whits and Kazan's desperate will to live.

Thoughts: This Arabian Nights inspired setting is rather different from most others which sets it apart in my eyes, it is vary realistic in its portrayal and incorporates a good mystery, action, survival and the supernatural seamlessly resulting in a vary enjoyable read.

Prose: Its different, characters are interesting and mysterious, something is always happening and a strong plot hook drives this manga forwards.

Cons: None really

-Notes: For some reason or another a couple of the scans on the site I use are pretty bad (readable but bad)

8.5/10          (There is only one rule in the desert; Survive...)
