A real chore to get through to read newer series, but I feel I need to know both the backstory & how the mangaka evolved as a writer & artist. Right now I might as well be reading Rob Liefeld comics. Sometimes the art is unintentionally hilarious & a good laugh is had. The characters have pleasent heads on repulcive bodies & contort in impossible poitions, yes, even moreso than the model poses from moden Jojo.
It's so inept at trying to be set in 19th century Europe that it might as well be on Mars 600 years in the future. Nothing makes any sence, there's no rational explanation for why anything works the way it does, but the take on zombie & vampire lore is kins of refreshing.
