Bastard Bastard is a manga Ive recently finished and can gladly say it deserves the second spot on my top 10 manga right under Oyasumi Punpun. Without getting into too much detail Bastard is about a boy named Jin Seon whos the son of a murderer Dongsoo SeonWhich isnt really a spoiler because its said in the first chapter of the story. He struggles to fit in at school due to his hard life and as if things arent bad enough Jin helps his father kill the victims. When Kyun Yoon a transfer student catches the eye of Dongoo Seon Jin has to decide whether to help his father kill her or protect her. While all of this is happening Jin wants to be free from his fathers grasp but due to certain things he just cant do it. As the story progresses youre introduced to a lot of characters who all have their own problems in life. For example spoiler warning As you see the characters backstory its easy to start building up love for them and understand them more. Lets take the MC Jin Seon for example. You could understand why hes the way he is through the little that you were given at the beginning but as it progresses you learn new things about him that play a huge factor in him as a character. You see him even going flat out berserk during some chapters due to how messed up his past was. It makes you feel sorry for a person like Jin. Hes a boy who had no chance in life as a kid. He was thrown into a rough environment from the start and its honestly amazing to watch how he develops as a character. There are even some points where youre rooting for Jin but know what hes doing is completely out wrong. Now Bastard isnt as dark as Punpun is but despite that still manages to do justice. Ihonsetly think youd have to be cautious when reading the story because there are some scenes where its darkness really shows. I personally feel like Bastard is a great example of how a Thriller and Mystery story should be. Its story development is so good that youd never actually get bored of the series. And the ending just completely makes the story come to a full circle making bastard a masterpiece. The art style is good though for a manwha you wouldnt usually expect the same type of amazing panels like Punpun Berserk or Vagabond but its still good. Out of 10 id give this manwha a 10/10.
