Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai Vol. 2 English Version
"A long time ago--there was a valiant swordsman who came to be known simply as 'the hero'. The people had been suffering at the hands of an evil demon. upon arriving, the hero challenged the demon to a battle...the hero and his companions combined their powers and brought the battle to a swift conclusion. The demon had been defeated! Thanks to them, the despicable monsters who were once controlled by the demon were freed from the demon's evil volitions. With no one around to cause trouble, the island became a quiet place where everyone could live together in peace." On a remote island in the southern seas lives Dai, a shipwrecked boy who dreams of becoming a great hero. One day, the evil demon king is revived, so it's up to Dai and his friends to stop him and the evil force that revived him. Along the way, Dai discovers the identity of "the hero", the truth behind the evil force who revived the demon king, and Dai's own hidden powers that surface in times of peril.

Today I bring you the review of the manga Dragon Quest: The Adventures of Dai by Riku Sanjo, a work for which I had very high expectations.
🐲 Dragon Quest begins its story by telling us the defeat of Haddlar, the Black Magician who once wanted to dominate the world at the hands of the hero Abán to introduce us to the main character, Dai, a boy who lives on an island full of peaceful monsters and dreams of becoming into a hero, even though his foster grandfather wishes to turn him into a wizard.
🐲 The work presents us with a common plot such as the fight against a demon and his lieutenants, which is not difficult to follow due to the showiness of the characters, settings and techniques. However, the play suffers a systematic abuse of clichés and script conveniences.
🐲 Regarding the evolution of the characters, I can say that only the main ones have an interesting evolution, but that it responds to habitual patterns in these stories (the chosen one, the humble villager, the king in danger, the bad guy who redeems himself ...) .
🌸Conclusion: I consider that this manga is a good proposal for a teenage audience due to its plot, the showiness of the characters, the female nudity, the Japanese comic attitudes and above all because the miraculous recoveries, the timely resurrections, the arts show martials spanning the final two assaults on the enemy fortress and the heroic finale.
I consider that the manga deserves four cherry blossoms, but it has been so tedious, predictable and interchangeable, that solely for nostalgia and feminine visual delight in its forms, I give it three and a half cherry blossoms.
Rating: 3'5🌸
That's all for today. Arigato gozaimasu for your time 🌸
