Great webtoon that kept me awake last night. Bastard is a great example of what a good thriller means. Compelling story and action that keeps you in suspense.
I would mainly like to refer to the relationship between Jin Seon and Seon Dongsoo. A father who from an early age literally tortures his son mentally and actually changes his perception of the world, and deprives him of all emotions, such as any empathy, joy or love. Our main character does not even know what the true friends are, which also, whether we like it or not, has a tragic effect on his psyche. It has been fantastically presented how the boy’s father is a crazy psychopath, without any scruples.

The graphics in this manhwa are really nothing unusual, although some of the facial expressions showing the face and anger are drawn phenomenally and make the reader identify with the main character of this manhwa. Overall graphics made reading pleasant, but it wasn’t something that I would call a masterpiece. The smooth transitions that gave this manhwa an impression of dynamics were also a big plus.
#Would I like Bastard to get anime adaptations?Honestly, I wouldn’t. I don’t think the anime can convey these great facial expressions and show the madness of the main character’s father. Sure it could add more drama to some scenes with the music, etc., but still I think it’s not the manhwa that should get an adaptation.

As I have been a long-time fan of crime stories and suspenseful thrillers, I enjoyed this manhwa very much. A great plot combined with a pleasant manga graphics means that we can really empathize with the fate of the main character, and every time he feels pain, we also feel it internally. This good thriller in my opinion deserves the rating of 8.5/10 You can find more reviews by me on my site, link in my bio :)
