Akumetsu

I'm currently in love with Akumetsu. :D
Though I generally avoid reading violent stuff. But Akumetsu is just TOO COOL!!
Plus I'm in love with his sense of justice.
X__X
And his super cool hair style!!
X___X
And his sarcasm.
X____X
And his adorableness!!
X_____X
Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. And guilty.

This manga deals with a lot of economical and political stuff I don't understand. *sobx* But I'll live. I'll just look at the pretty pictures. :D Seriously, whenever things get confusing, that miniature version of Akumetsu *points left* (the one with the axe) will come out and explain. :)
Akumetsu actually means 'Destroyer of Evil'.

"To eradicate evil...Akumetsu"

*swoons*

Well, I still think it contains too much umm... gore. x__x I like my manga light and fluffy. Preferably with flowers, chocolate, katana and crack. Hehe. But I've been following the manga diligently for the past couple of weeks now. Actually, I'm too lazy to start from the begining so I just start reading at wherever my trusted mouse clicks... that'll probably be around... When Akumetsu paid a visit to the Prime Minister? :) Contrary to popular belief, there's no limit to a randomholic's laziness. My first impression was a really cool guy in a really cool suit wearing a really cool mask and sporting a really cool grin. You can see why I'm hooked. T__T Well, if it gets too bloody, I promise I'll stop reading. :D I trust onemanga to inform me if it gets a pg-18 rating. Yes I'm a coward. Thank you very much for noticing.
Lol. Anyway, I went and googled Akumetsu just now. (See!! I do my homework before I blog. :) ) And guess what??!! Turns out Akumetsu ish considered Seinen... *blank look* so I went on and googled 'Definition: Seinen'
Seinenis a subset of manga and anime that is generally targeted at an 18–30 year old male audience, but the audience can be much older with some comics aimed at businessmen well into their 40s.
What the choc?! 18-30 year old MALE audience?!! Wait... It get even worse..
It has a wide variety of art styles and more variation in subject matter, ranging from the avant-garde to the pornographic.
Excuse me?! Pornograhic??!!!! And what the choc does avant-garde means?! *googles avant-garde* 'Avant-garde (pronounced [ɑvɑ̃gɑʁd] in French) means "advance guard" or "vanguard".[1] The adjective form is used in English, to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.' *blank look* MOVING ON. . .
The female equivalent to seinen manga is josei manga. In Japanese, the word Seinen only means "young man" or "young men", and it is not indicative of sexual matter. Examples include 3×3 Eyes, Boogiepop Phantom, Chobits, Tenjho Tenge, Elfen Lied, Fate/stay night, Oh My Goddess!, Trigun Maximum, Rozen Maiden, xxxHolic, and Zero no Tsukaima.

Since my sister/s consider 'Chobits' off limits to me, I suppose I should stop reading Akumetsu? I can't believe I actually introduced the manga to my lil' sister... Thank God she hasn't found the time to read it yet...
