[.ca] Immortal Rain: Volume 2 (ISBN 159182723X)

Absolutely Superb:
Immortal Rain was the very first Manga book that I have ever read.At first, reading a manga book can be quite confusing because of the right-to-left reading pattern. Once you get the hang of it these books become very enjoyable. I found Immortal Rain to be absolutely wonderful. What Can I say about it? It has the elements that many look for in a good book. It has action, drama and even some comical moments! It contains a well put together story-line and talented artwork. Rain Jewlitt is 624 is an immortal man known as Methuselah, whose only possession is a violin that he plays so badly that the heavens cry. Rain is much like an eternally young hippie. He is being hunted by people who either want to collect the bounty on his head or study him and unlock the secrets of his immortality. Machika Balfaltin, an energetic, tomboyish 14-year-old girl is one of his pursuers who just wants him dead. Upon the death of her grandfather,she sets out to kill Methuselah, the one bounty her assassin grandfather, Zol the Grim Reaper, couldn't kill. Instead, however, Machika ends up being saved by Rain repeatedly from other aspiring bounty hunters attacking them both. This seems to form the bonds of the ultimate odd couple. Meteor Methuselah (as it is called in Japan) is a great read for teens and adults of all ages.

Totally awesome!:
I'm not a fan of action-oriented manga, but THIS one surprised the crapola outta me. It had just the right balance of action, humour and drama to make it very compelling. The main characters are engaging right from the get-go, and the supporting cast add their own touch to the story. What's great is that we know right from the beginning that the main character has a terrible burden to bear, but the author doesn't reveal much, all the while managing to spin some great yarn! Can't wait to read volume 2! PS: I'M A GARDEN TREE!! Totally classic...

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
(...) this is one of the best manga I have read, my first was kill me, kiss me which is great as well, but this one surpassed my expectations, great artwork and some valuable sayings, I advise anyone to read it!
