Goblin Slayer, Vol. 1 (manga) (Goblin Slayer (manga), 1) Paperback – Illustrated, December 19, 2017

I felt like I was watching an extended version of the movie while reading this. It was a fast very enjoyable read and I really like this comic. It is graphic, showing a person being actually raped by a goblin, but at the same time it doesn't make a joke about them being evil which most Disney sorts do quite extensively. It seems like evil is made into a laughing harmless thing that should be overlooked typically and this comic doesn't do that one bit. When they're referring to good vs. evil it actually lets you know what that is which is being fought against in this world and why we appreciate what our brave soldiers do who do still protect us on the good fight which not all are ready to confront even with it being greatly needed. The movie was really great and I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it before. There wasn't a flaw about it with its great characters and storyline and situations they show you the characters cleverly working their way through. I loved it and highly recommend goblin slayer (just watch out for it certainly not being rated PG similarly to the movie Braveheart.)

If you’re into Dark Fantasy manga/anime, this is right up your ally! It’s a great story, enjoying the books!

A very good read to understand the Four Cornered World. Especially since I got the TTRPG for this as well. Definitely not recommended for anyone under 18 due to adult situations and nudity.

Goblin Slayer is one of the coolest manga I’ve read, and I can’t wait to get more. However, much like Berserk, it is not for the easily offended, not the immature. If you can not handle gore, violence, or sexual brutality, this is not for you. I only say this because I want people to go in to this series informed- that way fans who can handle such content don’t have to hear complaints about said content. All that being said, this is a great addition to your shelf if you are a fan of Berserk, or any other intense horror-action manga.

Multiple people on Reddit and on here have said that this book is quite graphic - both in sexuality and violence. Heck, the book is rated M (the highest rating for vanilla manga) and is wrapped in plastic to keep from prying eyes. Truth be told, it doesn't really deserve the M rating. The violence is pretty tame. Most of the killing is to goblin monsters and nothing is really in your face. Most is either done off screen or really quickly. There are some rape scenes - mostly implied from the angles (usually close ups of goblin face or an obstructed view). The nudity is mild considering the adult themes, just some bare boobs. Not that I am looking for some super hardcore sex stuff - that can be found easily enough elsewhere - I was just expecting a bit more from such a hard rated book. If you want extreme violence and some disturbing sexuality then check out Battle Royale. Came out over 15 years ago and truly pushed the limits. Now that is a book worthy of a M rating. This is more in the range of 16+ teen bookAs for the main story - it is fine enough. It was a nice twist to have the introduced party die in the first half of the book. Let's you know the stakes. The world is harsh and unfair. People die and are gone with no ceremony. The book ended on a good point, peaking my interest in the next volume.My only real gripe is the Goblin Slayer himself, or more specifically his design. He battles in full plate armor in close quarters while trapped inside a dark cave. That doesn't seem like the proper attire for the location. Its not like the author is unaware of battle strategy - Goblin Slayer openly criticizes a deceased party member for picking a longsword to fight in narrow quarters. But GS has his face mask down and just mows everything in front of him. Ok, sure.I will check out the next volume to see where the story opens up. I'd say check out the book if you are into medieval locations.

It's got a medieval feel to it, practically an EGO hybrid of D&D, Monster Hunter and darker themes that dabble into Berserk territory. It does contain some things that are prone to trigger weaker willed people but when you take a step back and remember the lore of goblins or any monsters, it is just the brutal reality of it. Maybe it's just personal thing but I also prefer my media to really make you feel things. So if it makes you feel that goblins are repugnant creatures then you're more likely to get immersed. It's really good at escapism and brings back memories of Baldur's Gate. As of now I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of them.

Definitely not for the faint of heart! Which is exactly why I enjoy this manga and anime so much. I’m a fan of dark fantasy that isn’t afraid to push the boundaries. Goblin Slayer is definitely that in spades. As others have noted this is not for kids. Also not for adults that are easily offended or that don’t understand the genre.The sexual nature of some scenes—including a non-pornographic but graphic rape scene—and violence is brutal, some are saying overly so, but that is what makes this genre so unique and appealing. It is also beautifully written and drawn, with plenty of your typical sexual tension and humor throughout that is common in this genre and makes the story fun.5 stars for Goblin Slayer in my opinion on every level—but again if you are easily offended and/or don’t understand the graphic nature or sexuality of these Japanese genres you’ll probably need to skip this one.

It's not as dark as other manga in the past, but it is fairly dark. I really enjoyed the killing of the Goblins since they make you hate them. If you're someone who watches moe for fun or light hearted crap and can't handle anything dark, than just stay away, don't need anymore complaining. It's been too long since something like this has come along. If your looking for something on Berserks level well this isn't on it, but if you looking for something close-ish well than this is a great read, or you can just watch the anime.

Nada que añadir, el envío fue rápido y el producto es de excelente calidad

I originally borrowed this from a library after watching the anime. As usual, there are differences in the plot, with some events being re-arranged, some additional events, and some events left out,. When you don't know exactly what's coming next, it makes things more interesting. I like the characters, the premise, and the plot.

Excellent Dungeons and Dragons type adventure series, but shrink-wrapped for a reason: it makes Berserk seem a bit like Fairy Tail!The quality of the artwork is very high and the translation is precise, however, some of the material contained within may trigger sensitive souls, so be careful to consider this before you read it.

Excelente leitura para fãs de "dark fantasy"ou fantasia sombria,além de possuir uma arte incrivelmente imersiva e expressa aquele ambiente ríspido a história é desenvolvida de maneira dinâmica e prazerosa aos amantes de RPG ou quem gostaria de ler um mangá seinen com ação,gore e aquela pitada de medieval fantástico.
