Green Blood review

When I first stumbled into this manga and read the first chapter, I thought I'm off into an ultraviolent Tarantino-esque journey through the Wild West.
Revolvers, ponchos, saloons, street shootouts, railroad barons, Native Americans, tumbleweeds, you name any general Revisionist Western trope.In the surface, I got what I expected. However, I feel like this manga is too short for the kind of scope the author wanted to convey.

I truly enjoy the noir-ish aesthetic of this manga. Illustrations are fully drawn, the shading and linework is a real treasure, and action movements felt fluid and clear. The ultraviolence felt fitting for this kind of setting.

Now, the main problem of this manga is in its short volume count. I mean, we only have 5 volumes and 49 chapters. Characters felt less fleshed and emotional moments fell flat, leaving the story to be unmemorable. I wouldn't blame the author on this problem. There may be publisher or editor problems, or simply the author lost interest in this series. These are totally acceptable reasons to me.

If you enjoy Westerns, and you want a violent and dark romp through the American Midwest, this'll be a fun little Saturday morning "eye candy" for you. I rated this a 7 (Good) out of the benefit of the doubt.
