Dragon Knights, Vol. 9

this was the first manga comic i've ever read and it's certainly the greatest. Dragon knights started off as a light, comical manga, but then it got pretty heavy and serious. the animation has evolved a lot throughout the series, but it's still very decent artwork. what i like the most about dragon knights is the use of character developement. normally, people think of demons as evil killers, but this manga proves them wrong. it's most of the demons that sets the book in action. for instance, take my favorite dragon knight, rath. rath is a demon whom, for some queer reason, likes to kill other demons. he was very funny at the beginning of the series, but when the series got serious, he became pretty evil and did a lot of bad things such as killing poor gil (who is also a demon) but later, he turned out all right. yeah, almost everybody likes rath. the other two dragon knights, thatz and rune don't develop much compared to rath, but they're enjoyable characters as well. in this book, you can't help but pick out your favorite characters (my favorite is gil).

This is the book where you finnaly learn Rath's secret! I was way off, that's for sure.Anyway, the story thus far has been a great manga experience! With lovable main charactors with their own problems and quirks. The artwork in this series is extremely beautiful and really gives the manga an extra edge. The story is highly complicated, and at times, highly frustrating. But it all pays off in the end as you slowly start to realize what has really been going on.As with the last few books, this one is COMPLETELY about Rath. I don't know about you, but I think it's about time that Rune and Thatz come back! I miss them.Anyway, as I said, this book is completely about Rath, as he fights the "one eyed demon". While all the while both Kai stern and Cestia are looking for the wind dragon. Cestia needs it to revive the dead crewger, and Kai stern seeks it to heal the dying Rath. And, as always, you're in for one big surprise after another as you learn what happened to Rath all those years ago, and then find out what has happened to the wind dragon and most importantly, the wind dragon knight! And you also find out who's burried at the unmarked grave in the forest at the dragon castle.With all the secrets revealed in this book, it is definatly a must read. The only way it could be better is if Rune and Thatz were in it!Well, this series has been out for about 17 mounths now, and in one years time it will be completed. I just hope I can wait that long!^.^< HAPPY READING!!!

I'd just have to say that this series gets darker & darker, but still has it's little humorous twists. It's a must have for any true Dragon Knights fan. @_@ I'm not saying anything more, just buy it. I'm not about to give out spoilers, that's what your friends are for. ^_^

Dragon Knights is a great manga with stunning artwork, and has a deep compelling story with charactors you just can't get enough of. Since the very first book to this latest one, I have really enjoyed Dragon Knights. Mineko Ohkami is a very gifted manga-ka, and I hope to someday read her other works.In this volume, you finally find out what really happened to Rath all those years ago. Something that I've wanted to know for a VERY long time! Though the whole story of it really isn't revealed in this volume, you finally understand him a little bit better. And you also find out who is burried at the unmarked grave in the dragon castle forest... believe me, you NEVER would have guessed who! Once again, this book is totally about Rath. Thatz and Rune do not appear at all. I really miss them!! Just goes to show how good a manga this is! I hope that we see more of Rune in the near future. I NEED to find out what's up with that 'Nohiro' guy, I mean who IS he anyway? And I would like to catch up with Thatz sometime soon, and find out what he's up to. I mean it's not that I don't like Rath, it's just that he seemed SO much happier when they where all together. He's just so dramatic lately... I miss the old Rath!!Well, this was the ninth volume. It's not getting boring yet... let's hope it stays that way!!
