![]() While Grimm could have looked better (More on that later) she can at least fight and has 100 different tools. To me that rarely ends up working because for a series like this you need the main character to be able to fight. For starters, I’m not a big fan of Velou being such a little kid. Lets break this down into sections though as I’m jumping around a lot here. So as you can see, the series didn’t have a whole lot of time to do much here. The exam lasts the rest of the series with the exception of the final 3 chapters where we hit the climax. Regardless we even meet some of the big villains from the Red List and at the end of the intro Velou decides to become a hunter. It could also just be that the art gives this effect as the drawings never look complete and everything’s so convoluted. You can’t trust anyone and despair is right around the corner. Velou looks just like Emma from that series even down to the hairstyle and with Wolves lurking around every corner, the series is going for a bit of a horror theme. You also get some Promised Neverland vibes here. You get to really learn about the world and that’s never a bad thing. We get to see what a big threat the wolves are to the average person and there’s a lot of lore thrown right at you this way. This slower pacing is different but not necessarily bad. Usually in something like this you have 1 or 2 chapters for the intro and then you keep it moving. This intro mission lasts for almost half the series with around 7 so it’s a bit longer than you would expect. Her name is Grimm and while she appears to be a small child herself, she has never failed a mission before. There’s no way Velou can win on his own so the village spends all of their money to call in a hunter to help. Unfortunately Werewolves are quite powerful, can shapeshift, and even regenerate. We then cut to the main character Velou who is a kid that just wants to protect his village. Now they aim to destroy all of the werewolves next. ![]() The manga starts off by explaining that the hunters have exterminated all dragons off the face of the Earth. It goes without saying that this review will have complete spoilers so if you have not read the chapters yet, you will want to do so before checking this review out. It’s not a bad title by the end but I can certainly see why it was cancelled. Effectively the manga is starting itself off at a disadvantage. Manga’s such a visual medium where if the art is bad I think it will be extremely difficult to succeed. ![]() Well, I’ve finally checked it out and the manga had some fun ideas but is really held back by the art. By the time it was cancelled at 18 chapters, a lot of people were disappointed but it seemed to have already fallen off the top. People got really hyped after the first chapter but then the hype slowly started to disappear. Red Hood was a really big deal when it first came out.
