The first issue of the Manga "Resident Evil Heavenly Island" is released and I found it quite interesting and entertaining. With the Idol setting and fanservice it is maybe to japanese for some people, but i liked the first issue more than Marhawa Desire and both series are a neat supplement to the games.
So im looking forward to the next issues.
Pro
Claire as one of the main cast.!!! interesting B.O.Ws.
The manga is a tie-in to Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
really high drawing quality. It is Residident Evil!!!
So has anyone read it or its predecessor Marhawa Desire?

Okay for trying you almost deserve a cookie , but what happend? Did you try to read it but you couldn`t understand the languages, or was it to good that tears drown your eyes, or was it to bad, or were you interrupted by a zombie attack so that you couldn`t finish reading. Marhawa Desire had with Merah one of the most interesting Resident Evil characters and some really nice extension to the RE Story like the prototype Lepotitsa. Heavenly Island on the other side has a faster tempo and is more action orientated and so far i really enjoyed Claires appearances and especially the second volume with... {Obvious Spoiler Volume 2} Alex Tyrant finally unleashed and the fights against it.

I recently got the whole English Volumes for Marhawa Desire, so it will be interesting to read em all. They changed Piers' personality quite a bit from my initial impression of Volume 1.

They catch his character especially in the flashbacks pretty good and i don`t recall any out of his character dialogues.... But I have read the german version, so maybe the english one has a strange translation. So far i know are there some differences between the japanese, french, spanish and german version of the manga, they changed even some pages and panels completely so maybe that's the culprit.

Well the panels are a bit of readjusting as they go right to left for me, and in English it's usually left to right, so yeah translations can be a huge issue. My overall impression is that Piers was more like Leon in RE4, cracking jokes and overall seemed more positive so it'll be interesting to see how he turns into the Mr. Frumpy in RE6.

The "go right to left" thing is a standard everywhere. in the 1990s when they start to sale mangas outside of japan they mirrored the pages so that you could read them from left to right, but then every character was left handed and the panels sometimes looked strange. The fans want the original versions so they changed it back to right to left. But in Marhawa desire they for example displaced whole characters in the panels or changed the image sections a little.

Nooooo . . . . . not the images and panels!

I wish they'd hurry up and announce a release date for the third volume of Heavenly Island already, it's such a pain in the backside to pick up Weekly Shōnen Champion issues and the print quality is always better in the volume versions anyway. I really liked Claire ringing Chris, though like he's one to talk about not going off and doing things alone! That said, I hope we don't get a total cop out regarding certain characters and their interests in B.O.W., viral assets and the like. It would make a lot of sense if there was a certain tie to things within REV2, especially with numerous chunks of the script they cut from Alex (which still drives me nuts). I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one annoyed if that happened.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one annoyed if that happened. Claire's phone conversation with Chris was nice, sadly her only appearance in Volume 2. Im hoping for some background infos about Claire, Alex or Spencer but i keep my expectations low. I believe Alex will just appear in some kind of epilogue after the final of Volume 5 and gets maybe some references in Volume 4. Maybe they dig in deeper in Spencer`s story on the Islands... By the way has someone any thoughts about the other characters? I really liked Merah and her backstory in Marhawa desire. I hoped back then that she may get a cameo appearance in Mercenaries or a Dlc. I don`t like the main protagonist Ricki or Takeru, but despite I'm absolutely not a fan of so called models, idols or what ever, i kinda enjoyed Laura, but her chances of survival are not to bright....

Yeah, I wasn't really surprised at that considering how certain characters are basically treated in terms of appearances - it was nice to at least see her this past issue. It would be nice to get more information, though considering that they've botched Spencer's name in other materials before it'd be bit of a long shot for decent info on things. At the very least, our third party lot in the events outside of our hapless protags and idols would make a lot of sense to have ties to the FBC as they did scrap a conversation in the earlier prologue of the TerraSave staff being interrogated about things, including being spies. I don't even want to get started about the stuff regarding Alex having been modified or just outright cut, so my hopes on any further information and/or history are very minimal. I could see there being more about Claire's work within TerraSave being shown but I'm doubtful as any of the characters I have an interest in never tend to get a lot of coverage in general. I'm enjoying Heavenly Island so far, just would personally rather more gore than the plentiful panels focused on assets... so to speak.

I'm doubtful as any of the characters I have an interest in never tend to get a lot of coverage in general. Same goes for me. The ones i like get often killed or left in the dark. I just want more stuff like the extra documents from Revelations 2. Such as the Email from Piers to Claire or Jill to Barry. Some side notes that makes the RE world more believable and stuff like that. I'm enjoying Heavenly Island so far too, I am excited which way it will continue..... hopefully more Claire and a bit less Takeru and Mayu.

It would be nice, we'll have to see as the next volume has been confirmed to be released on the 6th or the 8th next month - I can't remember.
