Great idea, Pretty good execution. August 22, 2008 This is a great idea, but I wish the artist had spent a little more time on the illustrations and some color wouldn't hurt. But otherwise its a great way to get younger people into the bible. My artist eye is just a little harder to please :)
Great sketches. July 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not crazy about the paraphrasing. But Siko's artwork is excellent. I like how Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant depicts a 20th century underboss. I like somewhat that the creation story and the Moses story overlap. The artwork for Job's story seems to set the story in modern time.
Manga Bible review July 21, 2008 Although as a book it is very well done, some pages are badly cut. Overall it is a fair purchase
The Manga Bible July 8, 2008 It's a very interesting book. the only thing is not to be in colour. But a very good idea
Great but short June 21, 2008 This is a great interpretation and summary of the old and new testament. I have some very minor theological quibbles with the summary but it is easy to see that this was a labour of love for both Siku and Akin. I love the application of a lot of manga styles to the story and art. I only wish it was longer and in colour - much like the gorgeous Heavy Metal work Siku has done in the past.
I think it is a great for any Christian who has an interest in the comic form or any anime/manga fan in general. Its an excellent way to introduce such fans to the Biblical account. Perhaps a Japanese language version one day as well?
