This is going to be my first review so please go easy on me. https://ur.com/eI30ETk.jpg No spoilers I felt a strong sense of duty after I finished this manga. This manga needs more attention then what it has right nowwhich is nothing. So yeah here is a review on this manga to hopefully convince you to read it. Rojica and Rakkasei is a short sweet and brutal manga. In it we follow our two main leads... Rojica and Rakka. When you read the title of this review know that I mean every single damn word of itits literally just Adventure Time. So if you enjoyed watching that then please I implore you to stop reading this review and just read this manga. But if you are someone who didnt experience the cartoon let me sell you on it. https://ur.com/hoUuhFw.jpg Story The story follows the daily lives of Rojicaa kind and caring alien looking creature and the father figure for Rakkaan adventurous brave and strong child. The world that these characters both live in is a post apocalyptic world where an ancient civilization used to inhabit. But while that is the case there are a few things that still stayed from those times that are just waiting to be discovered. For example in the first chapter of this series we are shown how the leads discover a mysterious disk. Not knowing what it is they by chance meet up with their friend Isaac who is essentially on a mission to unravel everything that there is to know about that ancient civilizationand while at it teach and learn himself about everything that he can muster to learnand teach those things to others. Later on we are introduced to other side characters that all have very interesting and dark stories from the first chapter all the way to the end. There is one side character though that steals the show eventually but since I dont want to spoil on who that is I will just leave you with a Trust me on that. If you want to look at the story from a critical point of view I would say that it is rather simple. It is simple but yet very effective. I cried to this manga but at the most basic level type of a plot point. But while the story doesnt really offer anything new in terms of a slice of life story what the story does bring you is great characters that will maybe make you tear up a bit great moments that made me feel shocked and fantastic world building. Every new chapter feels like a step forward to learning what is going on in this world and that sense of progression takes your hand from start to finish. Seriously if you are a lore type of guy you will definitely love the lore and world of this story. And thats basically it when it comes to the story. The series is a very slow burner. I say if you didnt enjoy reading the first 4 chapters then drop it. The first 4 chapters should pretty much have everything that the manga will offer you for the next duration of it. When it comes to the ending it ended at a very much great and fitting place. The ending left me personally with a very much satisfying relief since everything that was up for questioning was answered for me at the very end. https://ur.com/fW0Qlx1.jpg Art The art in this manga fits it well. It looks a tad realistic but at the same time very fantasy looking it just fits it well. There is a whole bunch of small detail in the art that the mangaka Kinomedidnt need to put in but did anyway and its just great all around. I dont have much to say about the artif your eyes enjoyed staring at the cuts that are included in this reviewthen you will have a fun ride in regards to the art in this manga. https://ur.com/VlZuVu2.jpg Conclusion Rojica and Rakkasei is a criminally underrated manga that needs more attention. The manga fits well with both slice of life junkies and fantasy connoisseurs. But when the manga wants to get darkit does it very much brutally. It is the type of dark where you see the life of a person from baby to adult seeing their lows and highs only for that life to end in the blink of an eye by a car crash leaving you with nothing but sadness. I dont know if my review does this manga any justice but if I convinced at least one person to read it then thats a win for me. https://ur.com/5IUqaH0.jpg
