With the exception of a few comedies, like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, or Cromartie High School, manga and anime primarily set in high school absolutely suck.
The reason for this is simple enough; of all the exciting, interesting places to base a story, high school is just about the worst. Choosing this as a setting is simply pandering to one's audience, nothing more.
However, despite so much working against it, "Veritas" manages to pull this off. This is no ordinary school; it's a place for instructing exceptional fighters, set up by an organization called Reunion, which has mastered biotechnology and robotics at

High school is usualy full of bullies, arguments, exam's,60-year-old-hag's, and other realistic/uncool elements. But what about a school where almost every second is spent for fight's? Interested?Then I suggest you step inside the world of Veritas
The Academy where our protoganist studies isn’t your typical high school. It’s ruled by fighting, and The Executive Council (and the teachers) intend to keep it that way. Intimidating and dangerous, they practically rule the academy. Some of the things to watch out for are: crazy brawls, near-death battles, relationship drama, ripped skirt's(?), special fighting moves and supernatural abilities. After reading the first six volumes, I asked myself: “Is an ...

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS
One Line Review: Don't waste your time. So this is my first manga review, and I only felt compelled to write one because I wanted to give potential readers a different opinion of the OVERALL series than the Top Reviews do. Honestly, I have no idea how they would rate it so highly, if they actually finished it. I decided to read this series since I thought it would be similar to The Breaker, and was well rated by the Top Reviews. As you can tell by my score, I did not like it and hope to spare other readers from wasting their ...

So this is actually a manhaw not a manga. So the characters names are a little different then usual. Take Gangryong for example, he's the main character. I don't know why i felt like pointing that out first. Anyways on with the review of the manhaw.
STORY: 8/10 The story is really not outstanding, but its better then a lot of other fighting series' stories. I was suprised that alot of thought was put into the different fighting techniques. Theres literally pages of characters doing nothing, but explaining the different types of ki, fighting styles, elements, etc... It's nothing groundbreaking, but suprisingly good for a fighting manga. ART: ...

With a premise that may sound overdone (male lead in a supernatural environment going through his high school life trying to get stronger), Veritas really separates itself from the pack (I feel that among many things, one key difference in the way Veritas attacked this genre was that it hardly ever focused on the classroom setting, while still maintaining a school atmosphere). Regardless, Veritas excels at many things us manga (or manwha) lovers enjoy.
[10] : Art The artwork for Veritas is perhaps one of it's highest selling points. I feel it is far above average when it comes to things like anatomy (particularly scaling of ...

With the exception of the main character, I found this series somewhat dull. The art is fantastic--easily my favorite in terms of artistic ability-- however the story's tendency to be repetitive with scenarios and an over-bearing focus on the female anatomy somewhat dulled my enjoyment of the series. The main character is an exception to that outlook in that he seems to be the only grounded/sane character--his honestly-selfish ambition is a necessary breather from the somewhat self-delusional ambition attributed to most of the secondary characters.
In my opinion, this series earns ...

Story: It's not really unique. A persevering student finally gains acceptance by a teacher in martial arts that also holds supernatural powers, but is shocked to learn that the teacher dies not long after teaching basic techniques. The student then goes to a school for martial artists (semi-complicated - The school exists to steal traditional martial arts techniques passed down by families in exchange for artificial ki rewarded after winning fights) Pretty much being forced into the school, the main character sets forth to make a name for himself like a typical shounen.

The art is pretty good. Nothing special. The manhwa is full of ...

Korean manhwa is refreshing change sometimes from the japanese ones... the art is awesome. The storyline is like a typical shonen manhwa\manga but the representation of the plot is very balanced and has a mture pace. I'm enjoying it alot. If you like shonen action, this is a very good read but as always, in my opinion, action shonen have a much better place in the anime world.

I'll keep this as short as possible, seeing as how their are already other in depth reviews. What you need to know is that this story is enjoyable and I'd recommend it. However you also need to keep in mind that the climax that's constantly building up sort of drops the ball. Not that it doesn't take place, seeing as how fights do happen in an epic way, but it's as if the story itself is only half of what it was setting out to be. The story is quite good, the art is great, the characters are for the most part remember-able and overall

In very simple terms. The characters are bland. there's no depth in this manga, it'd complete garbage in my opinion. I've read thousands of manga tried this out because people preached how good it it was or comparable to Breaker. It..is...not such an insult to such a great manga this crap deserved to be canceled in my opinion. Everyone sees things differently but to me it was just so flawed and lacked real emotion.
Characters: i didn't see anyone worth mentioning main character is dumb as bricks and does everything in which you should not do. Main enemies of so called mc lacked actual ground ...

Veritas is a story which will leave you with mixed feelings, the story is awesome at some points but also really silly at other points.
I loved the concept of a guy used to dog-fights learning martial arts and beating up other people at a school made for fighting. But beware! One of the things that disappointed me the most with this manhwa was the fact that there at the end is pointed towards a lot of cool fights. The story leads towards a massive amount of cool fights but instead just fades it out into an semi-open ending :( But overall it's a cool story ...

This is my first review. I don't usually bother with this but i had to make and exception for this manga because all I see are reviews saying it was great when it was just a stinking pile of...you know what.
First of all, the story goes to hell after about 30 chapters. I don't mean there are plot holes or that it doesn't make sense but it just goes from a good development to a very bad, frustrating and anger inducing one. If you don't like to get angry this is not for you. Second of all, the main character is kinda cool but you start ...

Veritas its a manga about never stop fighthing, the most common thing in this manga its the fights of the protagonist Gangryong and thats not a bad thing actually as they have enough of other things to dont make it feel repetitive.
The story goes beyong being the strongest or something like that, its kind of the main drive of the protagonist to always fight with someone stronger, but the whole thing isnt about that, you will also have a good dose of secrets and story to know what and why is happening and a lot of fun times, the manga doesnt take itself to seriously ...

Veritas is an action manhwa that contains a lot of common themes. That isn’t what makes it great. What makes it great at the themes it subverts. Where this manhwa shines are the refreshing protagonist and the good fight scenes.
What makes the protagonist, Ma Gangryong, refreshing? He’s a common action comic hero – dense, always looking to fight the strong, been taught by a powerful master, etc. However, the author built on this strong point – he’s basically a violent punk that just loves fighting. No, really that’s him to a ‘tee’. He doesn’t care about school, doesn’t have any love interests, and the only reason ...

It's a good story, like a mix of "Air Gear" and "The Breaker" and that would be great if it was mixed well, but it isn't. It's like two different stories when it shifts attention from the main protagonist with comedy with amazing fight scenes to some sort of chess match between the other characters each trying to trick the others into fulfilling their own goals. That's what really stops me from liking most of the side characters since they all have selfish goals and secret plans that would be pointless if they actually talked about it out loud.
I think the first half ...
