Description in a Paragraph: Oz Vessalius

Oz Vessalius is one of the most interesting manga characters I've ever seen. He has a happy-go-lucky personality, but he can care about problems if necessary. Also, he's always trying to save his friends, even if one of them is his own servant. His most significant physical feautre are his deep green eyes, which are the main feature of the Vessalius family. To sum up, he has a very strong sense of justice and I really adore him because he always has a smile on his face, even if he has a lot of problems.

Pandora Hearts

Today's entry is about one of my favorite manga: Pandora Hearts. 

Written and drawn by Jun Mochizuki and published monthly on the Square-Enix G-Fantasy Magazine, Pandora Hearts is a complex series full of plot twists, revelations, action and a lot of character developement.

It's a manga very hard to explain without spoiling it, so I'll write a simple summary: 

The story is set in a 19th century-like setting, and starts with the coming-of-age ceremony of Oz Vessalius, a 15-year boy who is the heir of the Vessalius family. In the middle of the ceremony, he's attacked by strangers and he's sent to the Abyss, which is a like a prison that it's imposible to escape from. His sin is his own existence.When he arrives there he mets a girl named Alice who says that she know how to leave that place. Then, he makes a contract with her (she's a chain, a chain is part of the contract, the contratist can summon the chain and attack) and they're able to use the Black Rabbit Power (she's called "B-Rabbit").

(I can't go further because I would end writing the entire story)

An interesting thing about this manga it's that it has a lot of Alice in Wonderland references. For example, some chains are named "Mad Hatter" and "The Queen of Hearts".

I really like the story, setting and characters. At first, they have simple personalities, but as the story goes on, the author starts to develop their thoughts and actions. Also, I really like the Victorianesque setting mixed with fantasy. It's just amazing!

And to end, the other day I was reading it on my way to university, and when I read one of the manga's most memorable moments I nearly cried. The author was so rutless to kill one of the best characters in the entire manga.

The manga will end next month, and I don't know if I'll be able to handle the situation. There's a lot of things that need to be explained, so I hope that it will have an amazing ending!

Thanks for your reading! ^_^
