This first volume of DR2 is even more of a degradation of the original DR2 story than the DR1 manga was. The DR1 manga and anime are at least comprehensible to people who are new to the franchise, although I've already attested that the anime is a mediocre adaptation of the game (at best) and the manga is a further degradation of the story. Not only does this manga tell the DR2 story from a different character's perspective, it also relies on the reader having previous knowledge of the DR2 story/game. There is a different, newer manga adaptation for DR2, and I'll be reading that after I read this, so I'll have to get back with you on how good of an adaptation that is. DO NOT START HERE.ĭo not expect to be able to read the DR1 manga and continue on to this one. THIS MANGA SHOULD NOT BE YOUR FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS STORY. Not sure how to really review this, but a very important piece of info for this book.
