Blackguard is a post-apocalyptic story following a soldier named Minami. In a world where a rapidly adapting zombie-like virus has taken over much of the population, Minami is an exceptional warrior that battles with the intent to die, until he's assigned a monitor, Chris, who's made to protect his life with much irritation.

This manga has a good concept but suffered from a very simplistic style. I don't think backgrounds need to be drawn all the time, but I was a bit distracted by how blank the pages were. That being said, I enjoyed the characters, but would have liked to see more depth overall. I think I would read volume 2 if it came to a reviewing site, but probably not on my own.
