DarkOtakuBoy Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Anyone pick up Diabolo yet? If your a horror fan, I would suggest this strongly to anyone who hasnt yet read it. I only read the first volume so far, but I'm getting the second one for xmas. yay. The manga centers around two 17 year old friends, Rai and Ren who [spoiler]sold their souls to a demon 10 years earlier, in order to save Ren's sister.[/spoiler] Some parts of it can be downright horrific. (The videogame series, Silent Hill, will prob. come to mind many times as you read it) Actually...think, Silent Hill meets Hellraiser I'll just say that although there is a [I]center [/I] plot, the chapters seem to be basically stand-alone stories in which the two friends try and save others who [spoiler]sell their souls for various reasons (to become beautiful or for revenge against others) and end up trapped in a Silent Hill-type nightmare.[/spoiler] I dont know if this will change in the later volumes, though. Also, the art is fantastic, and Ren and Rai (especially Ren) are hotter than hot. Anyone else have any comments about this (so far)fantastically dark story?

kuragechan Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 OMG I love Diabolo! And Rai! lol. I can't wait to see what the third one turns out like... I was shocked to find out that the authors were sisters... twins even! O_O Have you read the 2nd one too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RioLaskand Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I checked this one out on an impulse, and it definitely didn't disappoint. It was so intricate in the artwork that I felt I had missed many things,so I read it again, and again, to find that there were many things I had missed. Great series, and looking forward to more.

Usually manga takes about 4 months between books, depending on the artist. Some take a lot longer than others. If it came out recently, I wouldn't expect it for another month or two at least.

RioLaskand Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Just got the second one. Hooo boy what a plot twist! Won't say it, cause I don't remember how to black it out, but it takes guts to throw such a curveball in only the second manga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
