Today's post is on Deus Vitae volume 3 by Takuya Fujima. It is 24 pages long and was published by Tokyopop. It is the third in a trilogy. The cover has one of the minor female characters on it in a very sexual pose. The intended reader is adult, likes dark science fiction, and high action. There is foul language, sexuality, and violence in this book. The story is told from third person god perspective. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- After overcoming a perilous ambush, Ash and company meet up with the head office Re-o. There, Lemiu is confronted with a terrible secret from Ash's past... and a climactic attack of Selenoids could mean the end of mankind as we know it!

Review- So in this last volume we get some weird philosophy stuff about how the only thing that humans can offer Selenoids is love. So humankind is saved because of the love between Ash and Lemiu because in spite of the fact that Selenoids do not or can not love; somehow Lemiu can because reasons. Other than this series being very pretty to look at, it does not have much going to for. The story is very thin, characters are boring or just there to be sexualized, and just left me with nothing to write about in a positive way other than being pretty. But at least it was not a long series.

I give this volume a Two out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my money.

While that artwork in D’v or Deus Vitae is uniquely beautiful most of the time, the story and characters extremely lackluster. Fujima obviously had an intriguing premise and some interesting ideas about a sort of dystopian future with illusions to Christianity, but honestly the execution of those ideas were terribly done. What we end up with is a lot of people fighting for vague reasons in a pretty decently designed dystopian future setting, but in the end I can’t help but wonder; what was the point of this manga series?

This series is so... odd. I usually like weird things, but it was hard to keep up with.

Art is great, story had potential... but uh... what's going on exactly? Lots of boobs which as a gay lady I am not against but I feel like you just kinda gotta operate on vibes and use that to... sort of... feel out the action.

I randomly got this series while buying manga lots to finish my Fruits Basket collection... l...lucky... find..?
