A long long journey has come to end. I've been binge reading this manga daily for the past week. 544 chapters is a lot! It starts off well, has interesting characters, good worldbuilding, lore, great fights (reminiscent of DBZ). It tends to get repetitive sometimes, but if you can look past that, you'll be fine. This is a fantasy manga, dramatic, action-packed and has some surprising comedy bits. It is a fun, easy read.

This is the story of vampire, werewolves and humans. And much more. There are powerful characters at play here, the power dynamics are fun and easy to understand. If logic is forgotten, ... it is to increase the enjoyment.

Art: 8/10
Initially, the art is pretty dull, but it improves very much and very fast. The fights have some epic frames.

Characters: 8/10
This is a long manga, and so it must have likeable characters. And it does. Rai, Frankenstein, and the others (can't name too much, have to avoid spoilers) are really cool. The gang as a whole is fun. New characters are introduced every now and then, and it keeps things fresh. Old guys keep upgrading all the time....of course, this is a shonen. Power of friendship trumps all. The main protagonist -- Cadis Etrama Di Raizel is a Noblesse.... the strongest of the nobles (who can create vampires). He is a really overpowered MC, and is handled very well. He is elegant, royal, strong, selfless, clueless and kind. Franky is his aide, always protecting and serving his master. A true picture of loyalty itself.
Everybody respects the Noblesse, many people fear him, few have met him, and almost nobody is close to him. Why? You'll learn as you read.

Story: 8/10
Predictable. But still, you'll keep reading. You know who will win....but how? And you'll want to see the beautiful color pages with fight sequences.

Overall: 8/10
This is a long dramatic, fantasy action-comedy manga with likeable characters and an overpowered protagonist. A vampire lord / noble who selflessly protects humans. If you like the plot, give it a try. 500 chapters will like 100.

Thanks for reading.

Plot is a bit strange and not held together well, lots of filler fight scenes especially in the later arcs. Lots of plot armor too, however it’s a pretty good concept and I enjoyed reading it very much.

Characters were very funny and realistic with the way they behaved, getting to see everyone become friends and build relationships really helped bring the story together.

The art is a bit weird at the beginning. (Almost reminds me of yaoi art that everyone makes fun of for some reason lol.) However it greatly improves throughout the series and is incredibly good at the end of the manga.

Overall, ... it was enjoyable to read but did have it’s drawbacks. Kind of reminds me of Stardust Crusaders with this, since there were lots of unnecessary fights but was still fun to read.

Sure, the first part is good. A little bit of humor, some mystery, interesting characters, but then the remaining 400 chapters happened... Unbelievably repetitive. Random bad guy shows up, transforms into weird monster thing, and then starts shooting laser beams. At its core this is just mindless battle shonen, and the combat feels VERY dated. No strategy whatsoever. You know enemy #217 is more powerful than enemy #216 because they arrived later. It's basically a conveyor belt of bland enemies, and it gets old fast. The artwork is the bare minimum here and doesn't really fit the heavy action at all. Disappointing series for sure.
