Though perhaps not the deepest, nor the most original story ever to hit the board, it does offer the reader some truly enjoyable moments. The style that is was drawn in is far from the normal, instead it reminds me something of how you would see the classic Street Fighter characters (i.e. broad shoulder and muscled for the men, while buxom for the ladies). At first I couldn't say that I particularly cared for the style, but it does grow on you. As for the story itself it is quite good. Plenty of action, twist and surprises with a good splash oh humor to keep the audience happy. I have to say my favorite thing about the series (I have read 1-8) is the extra at the end where Woo talks to his reader. The stories are amusing. I like the Rebirth series and would recommend it to any who enjoy vampires, sorcerers and action....there's even a bit of a love story thrown in ;).

An Otaku's Review

I cant agree with either side of the arguement on this one. There are some who say it is horrible, while others say it the the best thing they have seen in a while. As for me, i will give you my opinion. I have read the currently released volumes (1-9) and i like this series. The start of it is slow, very little story. But around the 5th volume, the story picks up. YOu get more plot twists in this one than a shojo manga (that is alot). The saveing grace is that unlike some "angry hero" types, Deshwitat (the vampire) has a reason to be that way. And haveing his girlfriend killed by his best friend is just the tip of the iceberg. I say if you have the money to spare, pick up this manga. It is no masterpice in the manga world, but it is worth looking into.

Read It, Love It!

This series is really a great series. The artwork is beautiful, and the story has so many turns. The characters have so much depth, usually not found for characters other than the main character. The first book does a great job with introducing the story. My only problem with the series so far is that book 2 and 3 were a little flat, but that's it. This series is one of my favorites!

SWEEEEEEEETT

I read Volumes 1-4 of this series, and I think it's really awesome. The drawing style is excellent, and unique! And it's also pretty gripping, can't put it down.

The Beginning of an Awesome Series!!!!!

I just started reading Manga a short while ago. I've been reading the "Ragnarok" series of manwha since I started reading graphic novels. I was spotted this series, and picked up the first volume. It seems like besides "Akira" there aren't many "great" stories coming out Japan, since "Ragnarok" and "Rebirth" are both Korean. After reading this first volume, I can't wait to read the next volumes. The artwork is spectacular, with tons of action and humor thrown in. The storyline is somewhat confusing in the very beginning, but after you read a little more, it becomes very engrossing and interesting. If you like beautiful artwork (not the little-kid type of Sailor Moon or Chomps), I definately recommend getting this series. It won't let you down!!!!!!!
