NOA

The work was performed by Kentaro Miura and was produced in 1985 before the great work Berserk ..
Berserk has enormous similarities to Noa at the level of art but also style. Who likes Berserk certainly will like Noa!

Brief introduction of the story

The Noa work, tells of a world very similar to ours, but much more advanced in technology! taking into account the one shot after three days will open a portal that will lead them to salvation. The main character will find a young woman named Angel who is in trouble, the two continue the adventure together, but before reaching the gate something happens and Noah became "the savior Noa" a final epic, sad and witty! (In my opinion kentaro Miura should continue this magnificent One shot)

Now talking about my opinion about the work I think the art is well crafted, the story has a very good design, the characters are very full, getting the idea on the personality type of each character, Noa is extremely amazing and a strong personality (as Gatts of Berserk). In conclusion is an original story, action-packed with a powerful main character! Loved

Overall Score: 7

This one-shot is the debut work of Miura, author most well known for his renowned work Berserk (1989).

I mostly recommend this manga for fans of the author Miura (especially Berserk readers).

The art style is very detailed, but it simply doesn't look good to me personally. His art has improved a lot over the years and the art in this one-shot was a very good start, especially for his age at the time.

It was fun to see how the strength of Miura's character writing was visible at such a young age already. The characters are more complicated than it seems at first. The characters are also what makes it an enjoyable read as the setting is just a vague post-apocalyptical war. The fun of the one-shot is the characters within them. The way they think, handle and react on situation at hand.
