Godchild, Vol. 1 (Volume 1) Paperback – 2 Feb. 2009

it was cheap (£2 something)And the story was rlly good

This was a great and exciting Manga to read!It features several stories - plus a two-parter, starring the heroic Lord Cain - tall and handsome, (as all heroes should be!) with some pretty gruesome stories - including a girl who gouges out the eyes of pretty young girls in order to collect them in a jar to perform some kind of spell when she has six pairs. This she believes will make her ugly face beautiful!I thought this was great, and enjoyed it enough to purchase volume two! The art is good and clear, and the speech bubbles have good large clear print, and nothing is too tiny to read without effort. The stories are also easy to follow. Having read a few Manga books lately, I have noticed that not all Mange is good; some can often be a little confusing and include poorly placed speech bubbles which misleads the Reader to who is saying what - but not this one.Loved it, and I'm sure I will continue to enjoy the series!

'''''''''''''''''~'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''..'''''''''''''~~As a Asian,let me practise my English now.....I try to change my words above into English(^_^) Yuki god(aunt)_(because god and aunt have similiar pronounciation in my language.)This work is full of darkness and flowery.Its Gothic style is so beautiful that I like it very much.In addition, I think the creator described Cian and the things that happened very well.(OF COURSE IT'S MY OWN OPINION) It's different from most books except some ones like dictionary-----prefer to write only a sort of emotion(such as love between youngers.)So I'm sure that I'll read all of the series one day!

The manga came in great condition, very minor yellowing, but things like that don't really concern me.5/5 recommend! :D

I have to confess that I've not read the Cain Saga (though I do intend to when I'm feeling richer) but I bought Godchild on a whim, mostly, and because the art is just so good - if you haven't read the Cain Saga then don't be put off! Kaori Yuki provides enough background for it to be easily followed and enjoyed without stuffing you full of summaries and flash-backs. It's a brilliant start to an arc and stands alone very well.I'd definitely recommend it! :D

The cain saga is the best manga in the world. The godchild art is especially amazing. Kaori Yuki's artwork is spectacular. The story basically follows Earl Cain hargreaves a young aristocrat in 19th century england. And how he solves crimes with his knowledge of poisons. Although it may be confusing for some who have not had the chance at reading the first arc of the story i still recommend it wholeheartedly

I really love it

I’ve read many times in past before buying; my step sister got me into this book, it's really funny, dark and twisted lol. Gore, heads cut off. I really like the alice in wonderland plot and the crooked house plot as well.

I was looking for this first number since 10 years ago... I love Kaori Yuki's manga.

Sooo addicted to this series- "Godchild" especially. Read it when I was in high school but never finished them, finally re read all of them and actually finished the entire saga. Love love love! Wish there were more- like "Bleach" lol

Staggering, beautiful, nuevo gothique story. Kaori Yuki's heart and soul! A pivotal must read!
