![]() ![]() LAST ORIGIN DOWNLOAD HOW TOWhat separates him from being a self-insert for the reader is the fact that his lack of any meaningful traits is a specific tool used by the author in order to use the environment of Tokyo that surrounds him to educate and influence his development as someone who is attempting to learn how to live. When we meet him we are presented with a cold, calculating machine that is focused solely on searching for something and as such, and to his backstory, we are presented with a blank slate in terms of a main character. But hey the story is called Origin, and speaking of him it is revealed almost immediately, that he is an android, or robot. Beyond that there are a number of other side characters we are introduced to during Origin's journey, however most of their roles are so minuscule and lacking, such as the main villain, that there isn’t much to say beyond a line or two describing what they could have been. Somewhat ironically is that in Origin itself is the most variance in character designs even with the females and yet this “iconic” body type still makes an appearance in multiple females that are shown and featured.Īs for the characters in Origin there is only one main character to speak of, as well as only one "main" side character. ![]() This is something that is apparent in all of his works and while the female characters themselves are written competently, this design choice, and really the author’s preference in his females does get tiring to see all of the time. The only real negative that can be found is how he draws his females, of which they almost all resemble that of a supermodel with physique’s that are all drawn in a way to best show off either their legs, chest, or asses, not to mention all of them appearing to be moderately skinny and worst of all, all having faces that are almost identical to one another. Boichi enjoys including elements of comedy in his works and switching to his cartoonish style allows for him to not sacrifice the seriousness that his normal detail-rich style has, resulting in products that are almost always pleasing to look at throughout. But these aren’t used as a way to cop out, instead they’re meant specifically to dictate the tone of a scene and when you see the art style change you can tell it’s meant to be a lot more light-hearted, and comedic at times. The photo-realistic art style is apparent for nearly the entirety of the story save for a few moments where we are shown a much more cartoonish and round art style that is more akin to his work done for Dr. There was always something distracting that stood out and the overall product suffered because of it, but with Origin these previous flaws were focused on and touched upon leaving us with a manga whose art at least, is as close to flawless as it's ever been. With his previous manga there tended to be some attribute, whether it be the overall roughness in the character outlines and environments, or some heavy shading done to character designs that would end up taking away from the deep level of detailing that was otherwise present. Regardless, the first thing that's apparent in anything that Boichi has worked on is the quality of art present, and with this most recent work we see it at its best so far. the last time a translated chapter for Origin will release, it's easy to look back on and think that it started off so hot with it's immediate eye-catching art and mature tone yet ended up barely hobbling over the finish line when everything was said and done. Stone isn't the focus of this review, instead this is about the story of one robot's arduous path towards self-realization. Stone, a popular manga in Shonen Jump, interest in him will only continue to grow in thanks to the currently airing adaptation of said work. ![]() Origin is the latest completed work by author & artist Boichi, a man who's stock in the anime and manga community seems to be rising with every single work done, and now with his role as artist on Dr. "The first thing I saw when I was born was the snow gently falling from the sky." ![]()
