King of Hell, Book 3

I picked this manga up when I read it online. Awesome.. The last review was a little off. Its about a swords master on the dark side (grey side as he calls it) who died 300 years ago. He was the BEST, no questions asked. All swordsmen who surpassed their art were sent to Moorim. Of course Majeh kicked every ones *** in there. After causing so much trouble, the King of Hell and his Lords decided to seal Majeh's strength, reverting him to his 15 year old form. He isn't punished as long as he serves as the "envoy to the netherworld." AKA grim reaper. In due time, the worst criminals of Hell escape to the living world and Majeh is nominated to teach them a lesson. Fortunately his original body has been soaking in a pool of poison, preserving it so that he can jump right back into it. But he's still 15 due to the seal. And he has to fight these criminals at probably around 1/10th strength (most of the time). The best thing about this series is the rapid switch between dead serious and highly amusing cells. I have read countless series and this is one of my favorites. So go buy it!

King of Hell is the best manga ever because of its humor and intense action. The story so far is that Majeh is a 300 year old warrior. He killed all of the best warriors in the Morrim or something like that. In volume 3 he enters a tournament. The tournament consists of the five prodigies and they are like the strongest entering the tournament, but then Majeh enters the tournament and passes the qualifying round like cake. That is all I'm telling, nothing else.

This is a series of manga flip books, which are novel comic books. Instead of reading them right to left you read left to right. The series starts off with a young man named Majeh who was a great swordsman when he was alive. When Majeh died, Majeh went to hell. One day the king of hell needed the best swordsman, so he called Majeh in. He told Majeh that all the evil spirits got away. So the king of hell sent Majeh to get the evil spirits and bring them back. Before Majeh left, seven priests arrived and put a spell on Majeh to hide some of his powers. Majeh took over a 15 year-old's dead body and on his journey he met two people who were his companions. On the journey they found a sign-up for a martial arts tournament for kids under 16. Action from the tournament takes up several books of the series. To find out what happens next, read the books! I think the King of Hell series is excellent for kids who like to read humorous manga books. At the beginning of the series, it was hard to tell characters apart because there was not enough character development. I personally like the comedy in this series. I thought it was great. You have to read the books in order to get the jokes. I hope you enjoy them. by Paul
