It was funny to see all of these uber-powerful characters pussyfoot around with each other, each one pretending to be perfectly normal humans. The kids were amusing in their own right, but it's always about the uber-powerful in the end.

So, is the Korean government's experiments on humans the bad guys here? Or are we gonna get some new friends to the crew?

I can't help but love this series but there are parts that made me cry. I don't want that to happen.

Series review!

Status: Completed

What an amazing ride Noblesse has been. I've stumbled upon this manhwa in late 2015 while reading Tower of God. I was intrigued because people usually mentioned these two manhwas in each other's comment section because of how great these are. I'm actually grateful for those people because Noblesse has given me some of the best adventures and lessons in life.

So, THANK YOU, Son Jaeho and Lee Kwangsoo, for putting out such a great piece of art and for updating on a regular basis. I was surprised that this manhwa has been going on for such a long time (11 years as stated in the epilogue). I'm forever grateful for always putting out a lengthy episode every week with great art and color detail, all for free!

One of the strengths of Noblesse is the character growth. And I mean, all of them do grow and develop into strong, independent, morally upright characters who fight against evil and protect the ones they love. Ugh, I have so much love for the kids, RK, Lukedonia, the werewolves, Frankie, and Rai!

"Though you're not him, that face makes me miss him. I'm regretting I've never once called him brother when he was still with me."

M-21, my sweet, sweet, tragic boy, who didn't deserve it but got handed with so much shit in life, I'm so proud of you to have gotten this far, for persevering so hard, for not having been blinded by power and hatred and grief. Your comrades would've been proud of you. You all were never a failure.

"Hey, why keep scramming? You're supposed to show me that perfect power of yours."

Frankenstein, have I told you how much you've made me giddy with your sarcastic, psychotic, hysterical, half-purple and half-red self? You were the fountain of knowledge and progress but not once did you think yourself god and considered annihilating the entire planet. I'm glad it is you by Raizel's side.

"Never say you are at your limit. Once you say that you are, you can no longer reach your goal. If you keep going without thinking you have a limit, you can continuously get stronger."

Lazark Kertia, fiercely brave warrior of Lukedonia, clan leader of Kertia, proven himself worthy despite having an incomplete soul weapon, overcame so many hurdles only to die in a dirty battle. But he died honorably. I have no words for you. Your loyalty and faithfulness to your homeland has moved me deeply. I still think of your sacrifices from time to time and it angers me to know how it ended. But I know you wouldn't have it any other way. You really are a figure to look up to.

Lastly, always a favorite: Kneel. This is where your eyes meet mine.
Cadis Etrama Di Raizel, noblesse, whose love and sacrifice for the kids and the school and the human population have ripped my heart. I hope you never go into eternal slumber. And please, live and enjoy the life you've barely managed to get a hold of. ♡

I have a lot of feels for this manhwa and every character has gotten hold of my heart and I think I will hold them close even as the years go by. (Still, I think that epilogue needs a successor because what. a. cliffhanger.)

If you haven't read it, I strongly suggest you do!

"Raizel, it's been a real pleasure."
"My soul echoes nothing different."

As much as I like Rai and the other characters, I do like it when the students are involved. It feels more suspenseful and interesting to read.

[Dominique "Eerie" Sobieska · Rating 5 out of 5]

Noblesse was one of the manhwas that introduced me to South Korean webtoons. The mystery of Rai as a character, how he had come to hibernate for centuries. His calm demeanor, his fierce loyalty towards humanity, friendships/ duties and who he was as the Noblesse. The complex Frankenstein in search of his master, preparing for his return. But being a force of nature of his own, having an identity separate from being the Noblesse's fateful servant but equal. The "vampire" noble families and their sacred weapons and their role among in the human world. Many events from the past come together through out the seasons.

After reading this series, each character including Rai had been looking for their own identity and many, a place to call home and be accepted. The exception to this are the human schoolmates who provide a seemingly humane and comforting place for Rai and others afterwards.

The artwork is much simpler than the your usual manhwa (and improves as time goes by) but it is not lacking in detailed and exciting battles and accurate situational expressions. The unique characters (abilities and personalities) Each plot and new seasons become unpredictable as well as many of the outcomes. Even though you can sense the seriousness in most of Noblesse, there are various comedic moments leaving laughing.

Am I hoping for a sequel? Merciful Zeus you bet your ass I am!! Especially with that cliffhanger they just left us with!!

Do I recommend it:

Absolutely!
