A fantasy story that's not isekai or have any overpowered characters? Is such a thing possible? Well, here you got an example. No spoilers, by the way.
The story starts well after the heroic stage of the main character has ended. Once he is old and battered by the life he has lived, decides to travel to find his final resting place.
For those fearing an extremely introspective manga, like I was before I read it, I can say, do not worry. It explores plenty of action scenes (To be honest, I was surprised, I expected a cooking fantasy manga).
The story is quite well
...
paced, the first twists of the storyline are resolved quite quickly actually. It goes to the point. Any time a problem is presented, the reasonable course of action is explained and taken, no pointless exposition or emotional bait.
The art is quite good, even very good I'd say. The physical conflicts are well represented. You know who hit who and when, it's not just sword swinging with appropiate results. Backgrounds are well defined, no plain whites if it can be avoided.
The main character has it's own ideas about honor, violence and vengeance, and most do not match with a modern point of view. This is not a manga where the main character intends to play the part of the hero. He IS a hero, by the standards of a medieval society. No modern morality bullshit. Secondary characters are colorful and different, and because the wandering nature of the main character, they come and go all the time.
I was actually surprised by the quality of this work overall. It's strange it does not have any review for a work four years old as of now.
I absolutely recommend it to seinen and fantasy fans. I hope you'll like it.
