Monster Hunter Orage

THE SUMMARY

The story takes place in a fictional world which is full of monsters and adventurers called Monster Hunters, who as their name implies, hunts these monsters.

The plot revolves around a young Monster Hunter named Shiki Ryuuhou whom was taken in as an apprentice to a Monster Hunter named Gurelli as a child. A few years after Gurelli's death, which was due to a gunpowder incident, he comes back to his master's residence, Akamaaya Town, to join the guild there.

In that guild, he meets a girl called Irie Jescar and after a series of events, he finds that she is the daugther of his master. From this point onwards, they form a party to find the legendary Miogaruna, which was Gurelli's life-long ambition.

Wow, it is finally completed manga with only 14 chapters. -__- Only 14 chapters!!! Haha, it's another one of Hiro Mashima's masterpiece. Remember the manga "The Groove Adventure Rave" and "Fairy Tail"? That is him! It's very easy to recognize his illustration style! All masterpieces are almost similiar. XD

This story reminds me of Final Fantasy XII. Similiar to Final Fantasy XII, the Monster Hunter have to kill certain monster to get the loot in order to upgrade their weapon or something else.In Final Fantasy XII, they kill the monsters then sell to Bazaar to get the rare weapons or items.

To my surprise, this story is based on Capcom's game Monster Hunter. o.O I seriously don't know about it. I just learnt about it from Wikipedia. It is said for being widely popular in Japan and being the best selling PSP game. No wonder why they wanted to make it for a manga adaption. I feel this story is very great but too bad, the story has ended so fast!

Speaking of which, Shiki wields the twin swords and his attacks are based on wind element. It is the first time, I saw a character is able to utilize the swords based on the wind element. I never see any character using such this ability in other manga or game. It made me very amazed and stunned.

I recommend you ought to give it a try by reading Onemanga : Monster Hunter Orage or MangaFox : Monster Hunter Orage. Enjoy ya...
