I really loved the art style of this book. The art is what drew me in to begin with, but the story did not disappoint. I enjoyed the story from the very first page.

The author made every single character gay. Gay flags everywhere.
The panels and drawing are beautiful and eerie. The first part of the story, around 30-40%, it was slow plot wise. But it did pick up fast until that cliffhanger. For a first book of the series, I enjoyed it. In the second, would love to see more characters in-dept. the Ezra, the MMC, in this book is an exorcist priest that does not believe in god. His job is mainly protect humans from demons’ harm. And when Gabriel,an angel, comes in his dreams to alert him of a danger, he meets Sunny, who we hopefully see more of him in the second novel. Because it took too long for him to appear.

Covenant Vol. 1 absolutely blew me away! The storytelling is gripping, the characters feel so real, and the pacing keeps you hooked from start to finish. The art style adds so much to the atmosphere—it’s stunning. It’s one of those reads that pulls you into its world and doesn’t let go. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an intense, beautifully crafted story.

Very promising start! Demon hunters working with help of the angels. A church that is not what it seemed and a guy in need of protection

I was very excited when I received this graphic novel! I had heard about it a lot on TikTok so my expectations were high.
The art style is captivating and gorgeous, constantly drawing me in, even when I struggled a little to follow the story (that’s on me though, I’m not used to graphic novels).
The concept was intriguing enough to keep me reading though, and the character designs and visuals kept me hooked until the end.
My difficulty with the plot was entirely on me, like I said, this isn’t my usual genre, but I still found it very good!

Completely gripping first volume in the Covenant series! With a gorgeous art style and an intriguing set of characters, I was hooked from the first few pages. I'm super excited to see where this story heads next.

The art for this is absolutely stunning and I can definitely see why it's such a big hit. I'm in the minority here of not loving this, but that is because of my own personal history with religion. I didn't think the religious aspects would be as intense as they were and I found it a bit too much. That being said, I still enjoyed the art and the premise of the story and it deserves all the praise it's getting.

A beautifully drawn Manwha full of action and intrigue.
I never thought I would be this attracted to a priest (or several) but here we are. Enter covenant, a series with very attractive priests that use pacts with archangels, in the form of tattoos, (I know right?) to fight demons and protect the general public.
Not only is the art absolutely stunning, but the plot is very entertaining, full of action with a side of forbidden love, and a queer found family, it’s everything I could ask for in a manwha. It’s a very easy read and I found myself absolutely devouring volume one. Definitely one I will be continuing with and I’m very excited it’s getting physically printed in English!!
Thank you to the publisher, author and NetGalley for providing me with an arc for an honest review!!

Covenant by LySandra Vuong is a compelling graphic novel that seamlessly blends supernatural action with themes of faith and identity.
The narrative centers on Ezra, a formidable exorcist who is divinely assigned to protect Sunny, a seemingly ordinary college student harbring hidden secrets and a tumultuous past. Their evolving relationship, marked by witty banter, forms the emotional core of the story.
Vuong's artwork is striking! The diverse cast, including LGBTQ+ representation, adds depth and relatability to the narrative.
Overall, the graphic novel offers an exciting and thought-provoking read, appealing to fans of slow-burn queer romance, mythology and complex character dynamics.

Covenant Vol. 1 by LySandra Vuong is a super exciting and magical read! This manga pulls you into a world where magic, mystery, and danger collide. The story follows a group of characters who are part of a secretive magical organization, and let’s just say, things get intense pretty quickly. There’s a lot of action, but also tons of twists that keep you on your toes.
What I really loved about this volume is the world-building. The magic system is cool and unique, and the characters are all super interesting in their own ways. I’m already obsessed with the main character and how she’s trying to navigate her powers and the secrets around her. The art is also gorgeous, and the action scenes are easy to follow but still packed with energy.
The pacing is perfect for setting up the story. You get to know the characters and their world without feeling like it’s dragging, and the tension builds up nicely. Plus, the cliffhanger at the end definitely made me want to grab the next volume ASAP.

A great story. I found it interesting and even read it a second time, where I picked up on extra details.

I love this manhwa/graphic novel, i would say its unique since we don't have a lot of this trope in paper. Love the idea of demon-hunting exorcists from the church. A guy from the church is sent to protect this human from demons because his faith is waning thus god send him to protect this guy. There's a lot of action in this manhwa which I would expect. If you like Cassandra Clare's mortal instruments you may like this as it has some similarities like demons and angels, the tattoos, lgbtq+.

This graphic novel is beautiful! The art is spectacular and I found myself staring at the artwork more than actually paying attention to the story! I do wish it was longer but I am excited to read the second one!

This is such a beautifully drawn graphic novel. It had such an interesting presence and magic system.

A really gripping read from the outset and brilliant illustration style. Highly recommend this title.

Overall this is a fun edgy comic that deals with religious figures fighting off demons. They have tattoos and curse. It's not what you typically think of when it comes to religious figures and that made it fun.

The art? amazing. The story? intriguing. Erza and Sunny? Rooting for them. Gotta love seeing Viet representation in books and graphic novels and this is one everyone should check out!

I really liked how well developed the plot and the characters are. Also really enjoyed the art style. The only thing I have to complain about is that I wished it was longer

*Covenant* by Lysandra Vuong is a thrilling blend of supernatural action and deep, character-driven storytelling. This first print volume brings to life a world where priests with machine guns battle demons, and faith is tested in unexpected ways. The dynamic between Erza, a wavering exorcist, and Sunny, a mysterious student with a dark past, is both engaging and complex. Their interplay of sarcasm, tension, and budding romance adds layers to the story, making it a compelling read. With its punk gothic flair and exploration of faith, destiny, and queer romance, *Covenant* is a standout in the genre and a must-read for fans of action fantasy. Enjoyed this volume as much as the webtoon

The story was Interesting and enjoyable with nice artwork, looking forward to the continuation of the story.
