Overall I would give this a 9 out of ten. mentioned in this manga have inspired me to download a cocktail cookbook onto my tablet and go through it and I may also be trying out in future. Just a good old story of a bartender, the life he leads, the customers he serves, and the advice he gives to the problems that they bring to his bar. No love story of forbidden love, no sudden magic powers, no major plot twists. I found it a breath of fresh air when it comes to realistic manga. And this manga seemed to appeal to me when I first read the description of the story. As well as a big fan of different styles of alcoholic beverages. Give it a try, trust me, you will not regret it. ![]() It has its share of funny moments too, don't forget about it, but really, the thing that I liked the more about it is just how easy I could go and read it without stopping or being able to notice the time pass. Those who only like action based manga will probably fall asleep on it, but for those who prefer a more soothing and calm manga where words count more than how many sword hits one can do in a second, I highly suggest this manga. I knew a little bit about alcohols, just a bit and I wasn't particularly interested in that but I liked the things I learned, it was rather entertaining on its own, but the manga as a whole with the characters, the story and all, truly a masterpiece. It is a shame, truly, that it is hard for me to make justice to the way characters interact with each other, I just hope I could explain it better but it has to be read. The way they interact with each other, especially with Ryuu Sasakura, the main character, leads to multiple interesting situations. They just don't get more character development but at the very least you'll remember them for who they were and they leave an impression. Each of them has a past, a personality that was worked on. But it doesn't stop them from being just as well made as the main characters. But it also has a strong cast of other characters in each chapter, some of them who return later and some of them who we will see only once. ![]() The main characters are very well written and easy to like. Probably, no, most likely Bartender's strongest point. It is rather soothing and refreshing with a great attention to details too. Not only is it well drawn, but it is drawn in a way that puts the right ambiance at the right moment increasing the strength of the emotions the characters are trying to make us, reader, feel about their situation. Not only that but I also guarantee you that you'll learn a lot about alcohols too. Ryuu Sasakura shows incredible skills at figuring people out and what is going in their head, as he then manage to heal their worries or troubles with a drink and a lesson hidden within his very cocktails. A doctor will do his best to heal his customer's body, and a bartender will do his best to heal his customer's soul. says himself, there are two jobs in the world where you cannot lie to your customer. His philosophy is quite simple yet very interesting. ![]() This manga is about Ryuu Sasakura, a young bartender who comes back to Japan after having going around the world for a bit. ![]() As such I will try to explain as well as I can why you should give it a try or let it sleep. But I guess it is also the kind that will appeal to a certain audience. By the score already you must know my stance on this manga.
