![]() ![]() The art was also really great, especially in the last volume where it felt like the artist was going all out. It also made the action seem cooler and made it more exciting, though ultimately beyond some strategy to things at times there isn’t all that much depth. Ultimately, the impact on that isn’t anything more than just adding a layer of edge on to the standard events that occur in battle academies, but I felt it was enough to make things more interesting and differentiate it from other similar manga. This one actually acknowledges that the whole concept is kind of screwed up. Most battle academy stories just have the concept of their being a battle academy where they train soldiers as perfectly normal. However, I think it does a really good job at implementing all of these tropes wherein each character is likable in their own right and with lots of good chemistry between them leading to a lot of amusing small moments, and thus it’s pretty easy to get invested in them and enjoyable to just watch them do what they do even when the plot surrounding them isn’t that great.Īnother thing I liked about this manga is the tone. As is evident, the cast is composed entirely of tropes and is pretty generic. The author also made sure to include a tsundere, but made him a guy, and Tor’s only male friend, which I found pretty funny. Other characters include the strict on herself and others yamato-nadeshiko Tomoe, the gentle and meek but hardworking girl Miyabi, the dere-dere spoiled ojou-sama Lilith, and the sociable genki girl Imari. The main heroine Julie is an airheaded kuudere. He’s the type of protagonist that has something special about them that makes them seem weak, in this case in that while most Blazes are short range attack focused weapons like swords or spears his Blaze is a shield, but he makes up for by also being good at martial arts and is thus actually really strong overall. The protagonist Tor is someone trying to become stronger for the sake of revenge, though is still a pretty kind person. ![]() What does hold up the manga is the characters. So while I don’t think the plot is much of an issue, it’s not something that really holds up the manga much in and of itself. This mark helps the user summon their Soul which shapes it self to a weapon called a Blaze. As such, the plot is mostly just a training arc where the cast is put into various situations and fights for the purposes of training without any long-term high stakes. The Astar Mark is known to be a mark that appears during the ritual to become a exceed after taking Lucifer in the body. I hate anime and manga and light novels that dont have an actual ending, the writers just stop writing or start other projects. Similarly, there are hints about what the overarching plot beyond just being academy students will be, but as of the end of the manga there is absolutely no progress in that regard. I realize I could read them, thats why Im asking if anyone else has read them and if its got a definitive ending. There are hints regarding their background and motivations and where their character arcs will go, but there isn’t really any progress yet. Ultimately, the story as far as the manga goes is basically just an introduction arc where the characters and world are introduced. Despite that, I found the pacing solid enough and didn’t find the story hard to follow though that may just have been because I had already seen the anime and was familiar with the story and characters already. anime, four light novel volumes, though it rushes and skips parts considerably compared to the anime, which already was skipping a lot of what was in the light novels, so there is a lot simply left out. Plot wise, this encompasses essentially the same amount of content as the So, it is definitely generic in a lot of ways, but I think the implementation is solid. As such it’s a battle academy and due to its character composition, it’s also one with a harem subtext as battle academies often seem to be. This manga is about a group of students attending a school called Koryo Academy where, Exceeds, high school students known who are able to summon weapons known as Blazes, are trained as fighters. ![]() Tl dr: A battle academy manga that’s pretty generic but has a cast that’s pretty enjoyable to read about anyway. ![]()
