The plot is simple: Kurosaki, a young swindler vowed only to cheat money out of fellow swindlers, investigate them through victims of the swindlers or his boss Katsuragi (operating his own "Katsura bar" as a disguise), then approaches the swindlers and cheats money out of them by no less than the amount the victims Having read the whole manga 2 years ago (not an MAL member by then), and recently going through ts sequel, I wish to share an opinion of this manga after 2 years of condensing: this is an informative collection on operation and prevention of fraud techniques, but not a great story.
#KUROSAGI MAGNA CODE#
I would honestly not recommend reading this if you favor Death Note, Code Geass, or Liar Game. The author simply makes things happen as they go. Unlike other battle of the wits mangas this one tarnishes the genre the techniques Kurosaki uses are extremely simple and utterly unlikely where there are no twists or turns that are planned out. This manga has little plan in where its actually going and it seems like things are just thrown in together with no climatic discovery.
#KUROSAGI MAGNA SERIES#
Many readers often continue to read manga from a certain series because the story is actually interesting or something unique that draws interest, however this manga isn't either. Man did I waste a large amount of my time. Simply the menace of the story just so the manga isn't limited to only one and a half characters.Įnjoyment- I thought I liked it at first but then I gave it some thought. He plays it tough using threats and blackmail to get to the truth or at least some tips on hunting down Kurosaki. Kashima, Masaru- And at long last you have the vigilante cop/detective who believes he is the true justice and above the law. Because of her interest in becoming a lawyer kurosaki tries to push her away so she doesn't become tainted. She basically attempts to be the one kurosaki can open up to-which he does not, and tries to be the true sign of justice. Yoshikawa, Tsurara-Then you get the female neighbor although who doesn't play much of a part in the story you'll see it get squeezed in as L from death note. You see his motives are pure but his methods aren't and the author tries too hard to get him seen as the cool wannabe genius swindler. You get Kurosagi who is the anti-hero of the story with some dark past he gets angry when brought up and triesto play the cliche guy that tries not to get anyone involved because of the dangers and doesn't try to get close to anyone. Kurosaki-Character development was not very deep nor a highlight part of the manga.

The art style suits more of the late 80s and 90s manga art. You'll see the protagonist pull up methods that would never be likely in anything but the early 1900s where you'll wonder, "how dumb do you have to be to be scammed by these brainless scammers(literally)."Overall this was a VERY disappointing manga if you're interested in something interesting avoid this.Īrt: The art isn't very current or "new" despite being published in 2004. His access to tricks in his bag makes it almost modern fantasy story with no interesting point that draws you in. IS NO climax the plot is as plain as it is, the techniques he uses to swindle are horribly thought out and very unimpressive that leaves you in huge disappointment. So he goes around stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor metaphorically and becomes the ant-hero story to story. He gets taken in or begs to be taken in by a notorious swindler who is currently an underground bartender that deals with selling information. Of course the protagonist survives but the rest of his family was no so fortunate. He seeks retribution against all swindlers because his father was driven into debt by the swindlers and attempted to kill his family then himself. Story:Ok, so you get this kid who had a bad past-common character background.
