This drama covers the first part of the Holyland japanese manga. I really enjoyed the manga and i must say the drama was fairly well done. The fighting scenes were very dynamic and well put together.
As the manga did the drama also tries to educate about very basic fighting moves and tends to keep the fights on the realistic side. It isnt about flashy moves. It follows the story of a kid who is trying to find himself in a world where all he has every recieved was pain.
The only weak part of the series was the occasional bad acting/overacting and few bad scenes. Also they kept the whole thing very short(13 episodes, around 24 minutes each) and i would have prefered if they had built the story up a bit better. They relied too much on the manga, and sometimes you just have to take a different approach to different kinds of mediums.
Overall i would say it was enjoyable.
