I did not think that with a comics book title called 海猿 (in chinese translation will be Sea Monkey), it will be interesting or nice to read. And it has a lame english tag called "The sea monkey in maritime safety agency"The reason why i review on this manga? I feel that it is a waste that such a well drawn manga is left hidden and buried in history. Hence the blogging of this comics to share with the world.
With the picture on the left as it's cover image, it does not seems to be an interesting or addictive comics book. But was i wrong. Very wrong.
The 12 series manga explain how main lead grow from a puny and weak character, to become a diver who risks his life to save others.
After reading through the whole series, which is a collective and links stories which showcast the lead's bravery and growth, it manages to bring out strong feelings from me.
The content and the drawing of the comics draws me in deeply and I share the joyous feelings of the victims who were rescued as well as the helpless feeling when the lead was unable to save the distress. I feel the strong team spirit that exist within the rescue team. This book is able to bring out all the emotions which i never felt in a long time.
There were no good-guys-survive-in-the-end scenes. It has no fantasy endings nor superhuman power. Everything is realistic. What we human is unable to do, the main cast and the rescue team will not be able to do that too.
Every character has their own role in the comics and all support the growth the builds up the main character in one way or another
Not to joke, but you can feel the author's heart and soul while reading this series. Accidents scene were excellently drawn. With the unknown plot for each mini story (accidents), you will definitely wish to read to the end to the story to know what happened.
In the last rescue mission, it further bring out the bravery of the main cast and team which they have to rescue passengers from a plane that crashed into the sea within a certain timing, in the icy night sea.
Guess what happened? Did the lead die? Read this manga to find out yourself.
this is the online version of the comics in chinese.
And they even have a TV drama series!

i certainly will be grabbing that if i manage to find the 海猿 DVD.
Don't miss this 海猿 - 海防英雄 Sea Monkey in Maritime Safety Agency by Sato Syuho 佐藤秀峰 if you like to a change from those fantasy plot manga.
Highly recommended!
