This is definitely a different way to look at the classic book that almost everybody knows. Whether you are a believer or not, odds are you have read the Bible or are familiar with the major stories in it. The author and artist for this manga have come together to create what I consider an interesting interpretation. Actually, when you look at the Bible, a lot of the stories can lend themselves to the manga style treatment. The book does feature small notes with specific Bible verses for people wanting to know more. I think a strength of the book is that it can make the Bible accessible to those who might not want to read it, or who maybe thought it was too daunting. Sure, the author is selective in what is featured, but you do get the major stories and a sense of the story over time from Genesis to Revelation. If you have read the Bible, and I have, I think you may get a better appreciation for the original. This will certainly not replace the classic, but it is a different way to look at it. My bet is that fundamentalists will probably be pissed off about it and that more liberal Christians may at least give it a look.

If nothing else, it was a pretty good and entertaining read. Siku does portray some of the stories with a bit of a modern twist, but I think that adds to the text, making it more relevant to young people today. Regardless of where you stand, believer or not, having some knowledge of the Bible is part of cultural literacy. This could help. But if that is not enough, read it because this is a pretty good manga. By the way, book also includes some commentary from the author as well, which can give insight on some of the artistic decisions made. This is pretty interesting as well.

A great quick read. I recommend it if you can find it for cheap. The illustrations are course and Siku does not pull any punches when he presents the characters of the Bible. I love it because it puts a new perspective on this amazing book. A warning though, it is not really for small children. But I think most teens that are into manga or anime would really enjoy it and it could interest them into the Word to dig deeper.

Do the manga artistic conventions of big eyes, sharp chins and skinny torsos add a great deal to "the greatest story ever told"? Nah. But watching a Japanese author slowly make sense out of a vast and confusing western religious text, developing his own reading and theology in the process, is fascinating.
