So I finally managed to read this to the end, and I have to say ... WOW
From the start one of the biggest achievments of this manga is the characters. Without them, Dragon Head would loose many points.
They are REALISTIC! And that is saying a lot. You can actually feel for them. Their fear, their hope, their surprise, their disappointment, their sadeness. It's all there for you to experience as the story unveils.
And the story ... It's amazing!
After a while you start thinking, there's has to be something supernatural about this, but at the same time you have that imminent feeling of natural catastrophe. ... In the end, you still aren't very sure, but most questions are answered, in a way that leave you satisfied.
All in all, Dragon Head is one of those rare mangas that make your heart jump with every turn. It's truly a masterpiece.
I have to say the ending left me a bit empty inside, maybe hoping for a sequel, but truth is a sequel would probably only ruin it.
It ties up the loose knots, even though (like me) you might've wished for a different ending.
I believe that few people can deny this is an amazing manga.

This is my review after i complated this manga, all i can say is its not as good as the hype.
Really enjoy the first half of the story, but the later part, especaialy toward the ending, the writing is bad.
The story didnt excite me anymore. Altho I do curious about how these character end up, but the event in inside this story is not as eventful as i hope.
The fear and confusion of the character espcially the mc and fmc are well written for the most part. But the other character feels like they are just cameo in this story.
Especially the dragon head part, like ... whats actaully happening????
The part where the so callled dragon head group, they are written in a way that left reader feel confuded.
Maybe the dragon head is refering to the mount fuji or the volcanic mountain that exploded, but come on, its still not explored enough.
thats all I can say. Its a good apocalype manga, in a narrow sense of disaster manga, but in a broader sense, its not really that good of a manga.

It's surprising how such a promising start can end up being such an insufferable disappointment.

The story begins with a mysterious train accident that leaves only a couple of survivors trapped in a dark tunnel, not knowing what happened and suspecting that there is something else in the tunnel with them...

But then the author starts stretching out the situations as much as possible, with chapter after chapter where nothing really happens, and then he fills the story with nonsensical philosophical talks, non-stop random disasters, and protagonists who seem absolutely inmortal judging by the amount of wounds that they keep ignoring.

And the worst part is that after ... all that, the manga doesn't even have a meaningful or even satisfying ending (yes, I jumped to the end when I couldn't take it anymore). Just save yourself this tedious mess.
