Ubel Blatt takes place in 3992 A.D. (Anno Donatio) on a world circled by two moons. It has the feel of an epic fantasy in a medieval setting with dragon airships lending an element of steampunk to the story.
As the story begins, there are rumors throughout Szaalenden of a warrior who wields a black sword. All who stand in his path are utterly destroyed. The warrior is a young elfin-like boy, named Kunzell, who seeks revenge on the seven cowards who betrayed him and his comrades. Twenty years before the start of the story, Szaalenden was ravaged by a war with Wischtech, the land bordering the kingdom. Peace was apparently achieved by the successful completion of a mission by these seven cowards, now ironically known throughout the kingdom as the "Seven Heroes". Kunzell, however, knows what really happened on the mission and he will make them pay for their betrayal.
Beneath Kunzell's exterior hides a fierce warrior with immense skills. His small stature and elfin attributes sets him apart from the other characters. At the start of the story I did not like his character very much. As more of his history is revealed through flashbacks, I began to better understand his motivations for revenge, and the character grew on me. I started rooting for him to succeed!
Ubel Blatt is full of grandiose characters as is typical in many fantasy stories. There are also strange and grotesque creatures, some that morph their appearance and can partially disguise themselves as human. There are also power hungry humans who rule the lands and Monastery, and innocent citizens who seek to smuggle themselves out of the kingdom and into the borderlands.
While hiding amongst some merchant goods about to be loaded onto a ship, Kunzell encounters a young girl nicknamed Peepi who is also trying to sneak across. They are both caught and about to be executed when a man named Wied comes to their rescue. He himself has been planning to bribe the monks of the Monastery to secure passage across the border. Wied takes the two "kids" to a bar hidden in the old Wischtech ruins beneath the city where he enlists the aid of the bar owner, a young woman named Altea. Soon the four become traveling companions as they head for the borderlands each for their own reasons.
Many of the characters in Ubel Blatt are not who they seem at first, most notably Kunzell. His true identity is revealed within this volume, thus explaining his motivations to seek revenge on the Seven Heroes. There are comments dropped along the way that hint at some hidden identities for many other characters that I look forward to seeing revealed.
The manga has a "parental advisory warning" for explicit content. This is NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS since the images in some of the battle scenes are extremely gruesome and there is nudity and sex within the pages. I felt the nudity scenes were unnecessary to the progression of the story and would have preferred if they were left out.
Ubel Blatt vol. 0 is 432 pages of fantastic storytelling and well worth the price! The artwork is amazing with bold shading and dynamic paneling. There are many full page illustrations throughout, and a few color pages at the beginning. I felt the characters were well developed even in this first volume, and the action was non-stop. I look forward to continuing with the series.

Dark and edgy but entertaining. Basically these Seven heroes of the kingdom are really backstabbing people that murdered their four friends and now reborn version of one of them hunts them all to slaughter. A fun revenge story but weird sexual moments, lot of rape, some underage (or looks to be underage stuff) not a fan of. Weird to recommend but the art and fight scenes are great.

Quick thoughts: A little uneven to start, but gets very good very quickly. Extremely dark, unsettling and graphic, but with strong plot and characters. The key theme of legend vs reality is fascinating and well executed.

History is told by the winners
Before I say anything else this book series is far from kind to anyone that may be sensitive to violence, death, nudity, sex, any assortment of other dark themes so if you fall into the feint of heart category of readers there are plenty of other series out there that do not emulate a feeling of darkness much as Berserk has done in the past (though this series is complete from what I understand.)
In a hard lived world ruled by powerful people declaring themselves the traitorous lances of legend having returned to life we see a lone boy begins his journey to bring the truth of what happened 20 years ago on a road made on the bodies of those that betrayed him back then as well as those foolish enough to try to stop him. Koinzell might just be a hero destined to bring an end to a great calamity on the horizon but for now his thirst for revenge must be quenched as he makes his way toward the border city of Rielde-Velem.
I remember seeing this book on the shelf of a bookstore and being strangely attracted to it due to it being number 0 instead of number 1 and higher. Set in the lands of events that lead to the seven heavenly heroes legend it is understandable considering it is a great start for a dark fantasy story unashamed of gore, nudity, violence, nor body horror. In addition to building a narrative allowing us to know Koinzell's tragic past we are introduced to what I hope to be valuable allies that he has met at the beginning of his journey against difficult odds. Also if you are into world building be sure to check out the info dumps in the middle of the volume and at the end (probably originally at the end of the original manga volumes) to discover information about the world that would make this series possible. :)

Turnoff: Unnötige Sexszenen
Das Worldbuilding ist etwas wunderlich. Aber ich bin gespannt wie es weitergeht.

Eine dystopische high fantasy serie mit steampunk vibes. Auch wenn die ersten teile noch ein bisschen ungezwungen sind, wird die reihe hin immer besser.

I... really enjoyed this.
Stellar visuals.
Compelling story arc.
Complex but not overly confusing world-building.
Enjoyable hero.
...
BUT.
Stronger females, please?
It's truly not that hard to write/draw a heroine without having her scantily clad and solely there as fuckable scenery for lust-added manga-bros with certifiable control issues.
I shit you not.
It can be done.
It has been done.
Behold! A list!:
» Claymore
» 1/2 Prince
» Variante
» Tokyo ESP
» Red River
» Basara
» Yona of the Dawn
And probably a fuck-ton more I haven't even heard of.
See.
Totally, entirely, completely possible.
So there's no excuse, now is there?
...
Goddamn, manga-bros.

Originality
A standard shonen epic fantasy with a dose of harsh medieval realism thrown in for good measure. Not a whole lot of explanation of the magical system is provided.
Artwork
The action, depiction of the different characters and creatures as well as the vehicles are quite detailed. I especially like the schematics of the dragon airships. The maps could use a little more detail; for example, to include the city of Rielde-Velem.
Story
Solid plot that has one major twist. The transition between one major time span to the next (from the flashback to Durch Bruch) could've been handled more explicitly.
Content Warning: Nudity, sex scenes, including one that implies bestiality.
Characterization
Not terribly deep characters, but that's not the focus. For the most part, the hero, Köinzell vanquishes his foes through his fighting prowess and superhuman powers instead of his intelligence.
Personal Notes
This world is a male-dominated one where fighting ability is the most important personal attribute. Women and children are, for the most part, relegated to supporting roles or mere chattel. In spite of the fact that it is hinted that some of the women characters could become stronger, I don't find the world appealing. Still a solid epic and where it lacks in originality it makes up with action and art.

(3.5 Stars) About the story - it's really interesting, the start is kind of rough and there are 2 "side stories" in the middle that contribute to the character but at the sametime feels kind of random. The Story is very fast paced and exciting. The Visuals are amazing, the dialogue can get a little cheesy at times. I wish the magic system was a bit more developed (I'm sure that will happen in the rest of the series, but at times it was a little confusing especially in relation to characters, Köinzell seems to be the only non-human and I wish I could know a little more about elves etc.
Also - We NEED a better "explicit content" warning - yes it says explicit content on the cover and having quickly browsed through it before buying it I saw some gore and naked women so I knew what to expect - that being said there is a lot more gore and a lot more (very graphic) sex scenes than I expected (especially in the beginning) - so I think some effort should be put into degrees of explicitly (if that makes sense) .

I really enjoyed the story. Its really interesting and dramatic but I didn't like most of the female characters. They were all shown as weak and really creepy. I didn't enjoy any of the strange pedophilia aspects as well between the main character and various women. One was understandable because she was crazy but the last one, with the smuggler... it was just weird. I understand the main character Köinzell is not a young boy but the women he 'sleeps' with think he is and its just... I feel it was over done. I was originally going to give this 3 stars because of the pedophilia and the fact that most of the women characters so far were viewed as weak and spineless but the stories so good and intriguing I had to give it four.

This was such a great manga. Probably my favorite so far. The story was really good. The art was old but beautiful. Some of the things that happened reminded me of game of thrones. Only because we got to see bobs and a lot of killing and blood. This was definitely a manga for older people. I’m really excited to read the next volume. This manga also had over 400 pages.

This is actually a fairly good fantasy manga series and was enjoyable to read. The artwork is fantastic and character designs fairly diverse as well as the action really raring when it is called for and the style more subtle when required.
July 1, 2019
This was an awesome read. While I can see why it hasn’t got an anime adaptation yet (maybe), I think it should be adapted, because it has action, drama, humor, and story.
Give this a try if you like Berserk and or Goblin Slayer.
Enjoy :)

Un manga que j’ai découverts par un hasard complet dans la librairie d’occasion « Temps Livre » (et si la mentionner peut vous donner envie d’aller la soutenir en achetant ces livres pas chères, j’en serais heureux).
Quand on me parle d’un manga de dark fantasy, ma première pensée va, sans surprise, à Berserck. Cela étant dit, oublions le monument pour passer à plus méconnu.
L’histoire commence par l’arrivée remarquée de Köinzell par l’armée de l’un des quatre traîtres. Ce dernier, l’immoral et sanguinaire Kfer, décide de le prendre en chasse, n’hésitant pas à massacrer des innocents pour une simple suspicion et un village ayant recueilli l’homme recherché. Mais, face à notre protagoniste, celui-ci connaît la défaite, une révélation l’amenant à supplier le pardon, ainsi que la mort.
Une introduction exprimant clairement ce que l’histoire nous promet avec ses soixante premières pages.
Kfer nous est présenté recevant un rapport sur un bataillon décimé, alors qu’il est en plein rapport (sans que l’on sage si la femme est consentante ou non), et tout ce qui l’intéresse est l’arrivée de vins, d’or et de pucelles. Apprenant que tout a été perdu, il tue le messager, laisse son cheval Zyrus profiter de la même femme (hurlant cette fois son refus), avant de prendre les choses en main.
Face à lui, Köinzell, d’une apparence plus innocente, s’avère ne pas être particulièrement plus moral. Bien que sachant être sensible aux malheurs des autres, son objectif personnel prend le pas, quitte à se montrer froid et sans pitié.
Du sang, du sexe, des massacres, de l’immoralité, de la concupiscence, de la monstruosité, de l’injustice, un espoir cruellement incertain, … de la dark fantasy.
Cela étant dit, ne vous attendez pas non plus à un visuel complet. Les cadavres et les corps déchirés sont vides de tripes et de viscères dégoulinantes, pendant que les corps dénudés et les copulations se restreignent aux poitrines aux tétons durcis et aux fesses plus ou moins dissimulés, que ce soit par un obstacle ou le dessin, quand tout ne se passe pas dans l’ombre ou hors du cadre.
(À noter que les scènes de sexe sont plus utilisées pour l’exposition que pour montrer un plaisir partagé ou une cruauté du monde, même si le sujet abordé est atroce)
Pour ce qui est du dessin, je l’ai trouvé bien adapté à un univers aussi sombre (dans un style plus proche de Claymore que Berserck), malgré une certaine censure. Très lisible à l’image mais également dans le suivi de l’action.
Pour conclure, ce tome 0 me laisse avec des attentes et des espoirs. Cela étant dit, en lui-même, j’ai trouvé ce manga très intéressant.
Je le recommande aux curieux avant de voir si la suite me permettra d’en joindre davantage de gens à s’y plonger.

Ich habe schon ewig keine Mangas mehr gelesen und habe jetzt endlich mal wieder Lust darauf bekommen. Da ich etwas in die Richtung Dark Fantasy wollte und Berserk, Vol. 1noch nicht da ist, habe ich mit Ubel Blatt, Vol. 0, das mir aufgrund des seltsamen Namens im Buchladen aufgefallen ist, vorliebgenommen (ernsthaft, was soll das für ein Name sein??).
Aufseiten der Story ist Ubel Blatt, Vol. 0 eher schwach. Der Leser bekommt hier lediglich etwas von Keinzells Hintergrundgeschichte geliefert – beim Lesen von Übel Blatt 1 wurde mir dies erst so richtig bewusst. Meinem Gefühl nach sollte dieser Teil nicht zwingend zuerst gelesen werden. Die schwache Geschichte wird außerdem noch durch unnötige Sexszenen gestört. Diese waren recht grafisch und absolut irrelevant für die Handlung. Die düstere Atmosphäre hätte dem Leser anders und besser nähergebracht werden können als durch eine Vergewaltigung. Die vielen Kämpfe gleichen die schwache Handlung jedoch wieder etwas aus.
Dafür gefällt mir der Zeichenstil sehr gut, er unterstreicht die Härte der Welt und die gewalttätige Handlung hervorragend.
Die Charaktere sind soweit das bisher zu erkennen ist eher flach. Lediglich Keinzell, der allerdings zumindest in Übelblatt 1 der einzige wiederkehrende Charakter ist, erhält überhaubt eine Charakterisation, alle anderen wirken eher wie Puppen, die nur dazu da sind, von Keinzell erledigt zu werden oder ihn zu bewundern.
Auch Worldbuilding steht hier nicht im Mittelpunkt. Das einzige Worldbuilding, das wirklich geschieht, ist die „Legende“ der Sieben Helden, die erst 20 Jahre vor Beginn der Handlung stattfand. Dennoch sprechen alle Charaktere davon, als wäre das vor Urzeiten gewesen. Diese Verzerrung der Zeit fällt mir in Animes und Mangas immer wieder auf und stört mich etwas, vor allem weil die Sieben Helden sogar noch leben.
Ubel Blatt, Vol. 0 ist kein überragender Start, aber gut genug, um Lust auf mehr zu machen, obwohl ich es als Einstieg nicht empfehlen würde. Übel Blatt 1 ist dafür meiner Meinung nach deutlich besser geeignet. Ich habe übrigens immer noch keine Ahnung, was der Titel mit dem Inhalt zu tun hat...

Déception
Grande fan de Berserk, j'ai entendu les mérites de cette saga de dark fantasy. Et c'est la douche froide.
Est ce que c'était une bonne idée de commencer par ce prequel qui part dans tous les sens avec des scènes de violence cash sans aucun scénario valable.
On apprend dans le troisième chapitre qui est le héros, ce qui me fait tiquer un peu sur la suite des événements qui seront prévisibles. Je ne pense pas continuer mais qui sait...

story starts off pretty hard to follow, with a main character that's overpowered and shifts between childish and super serious. things start to pick up and become much more enjoyable about halfway through.
January 29, 2024
Rating drop after re-reading. I'm not sure if my tastes have changed in five years, or if knowing how hard the series tanks sours my view on the whole thing. Either way, I think I can safely say this series is best left in the past for me.

the art was dope but ive not read a book ive been this disinterested in since high school

Good. I want to read the next one, but it's checked out :(

4,5/5 stars. I really liked it but some parts confused me (more the history)
July 29, 2018
Great start to a potentially great series. High fantasy that’s dark and violent, yet complex and intriguing.
January 26, 2019
Super interesting. A grimdark epic with a protagonist I can totally get behind. Looking forward to more.
January 30, 2020
Weird and strange.

J'ai bien aimé l'histoire en revanche les scènes de cul sont vraiment inutiles et tellement peu présentes que je ne vois pas l'intérêt de les avoir mises...

Would’ve probably liked it better if I’d read the further books first

Wow.
Ok! Do you like violence? Blood & guts? Bad ass fighters? Manga & epic fantasy?
manga series like "black butler"? epic fantasy series like "Shadowdance" "game of thrones" & "wheel of time"
You do?
Great! Chances are, you'll enjoy this too! :)
"Uber Blatt" is.... God, how to describe it? Violence. Epic. Fucking awesome? :D it's bloody and gorey and dark with this badass anti hero main character who I fucking adore! koinzell is my baby. I love this dude. Hugs and cookies and therapy are needed. But I SO want to help him on his quest! This is definitely the kinda fucked up psychopathic, but also sympathetic main character I can cheer on.
:D this is a total revenge story too. Totally my kinda a book. A m.c. Driven by nothing but vengeance! This was a world, torn apart by war. Characters, heroes, villains, and thugs who are never really all they seem. Who's really the "good guy?" Who's really the "bad guy"? It's my favorite part of epic fantasy. No one is exactly clean of bloodshed, so ultimately it's the reader who picks. I mean, is Koinzell really a hero with how big of a body count he leaves in his wake?
Well, to everyone else, probably not. But I think he's got good reasons to be so screwed up. >:) he's the hero of his own story anyway. :D plus, he's kinda adorable, so it adds to his likability, at least too me.
The lesser characters are more flat, but there's definitely plenty of room to expand on their characters further down the road. I particularly like Peepi & Weid & the brother and sister we see in the beginning of the story.
The artwork is wonderful! Sure to satisfy any manga lover. The main characters are all very distinctive & action scenes very well done. However, I wouldn't recommend it to you if women in over sexual outfits just for the sake of looking pretty though. (wether or not it's actually practical for a fight)
It was actually the cover that drove me to buy it. Koinzell just looked so intense & determined, but so young. I had to know more about him, even if there was a plastic cover over & I couldn't look inside. -_- the blurb on the back and the cover art was enough for me!
& let me tell you, as much as I may not agree with the plastic cover things over mature level mangas why there was good reason for this one.
Sorry, going off topic for a sec, But seriously! why only mature rated mangas? Just because they have pictures? Shouldn't everything thats not kid/teen friendly have little plastic covers and warning labels? Don't they know kids can go in the Romance section of bookstores & flip through books till they find the "naughty bits" I've done this several times as a teen. Or how bout game of thrones? there's some totally r rated stuff there. Shouldn't that be covered up? Nope. Only mangas. Reading something naughty can be just as bad as pics. So stop discriminating books! Besides. Censorship falls on the parents shoulders. It's taking away possible customers to keep it closed up were we can't look at the book.
Anyway! Back on topic! Not for kids!
Not only was there bloody violence scenes on ever page, but there was also a lot of sexual content. Including a couple of rape scenes. Seriously not for kids.
This book as been rated R by the nerd association of lanie -& rated By the publisher- for swearing, violence, and sexual content.
But for older readers, I totally recommend! Especially fans of manga & epic fantasy! Can't wait for the next book!
Ok! Do you like violence? Blood & guts? Bad ass fighters? Manga & epic fantasy?
manga series like "black butler"? epic fantasy series like "Shadowdance" "game of thrones" & "wheel of time"
You do?
