This is the first review on the site about this manga and I'm impressed with how few people are reading this manga, the art is incredible and of high quality, the story just gets better with each chapter and even though it only has 3 volumes and 15 chapters so far , it's been one of my favorite mangas to follow.

If you like fantasy, give this manga a chance, it approaches the theme like magic in an excellent way and the main characters have a good highlight in their personalities since they react to situations in the story realistically.

Going back to the art, another strong ... point is the details, even in action scenes you can see how fluid the design is, the characters are beautiful, as well as all the buildings and objects in the story.

To start off, there aren't much spoilers in this review.

Have you respected a teacher so much that you often sing praises of him? Have you encountered a student so stubborn he would never do as you say? Have you a friend you can confide in and place all your trust in him or her? You can sympathise and empathise with these types of characters in this manga.

There's quite a large amount of character development and interactions and some world building, at least in my opinion. The character's personality doesn't change all that much even after a significant amount of time has passed but you ... could see maturity in some. As they age, you could see the bonds of one character to another, and sometimes, it would even be explicitly mentioned throughout the manga. As time progresses, their view on others would also affect how they think in the future and what paths to take. As far as world building goes, it's main focus is in a certain country. The ideologies, myths, values, history, etc are only of that country (as of now). No mention of those things from neighbouring countries. But all is well and fine. So if you're a sucker for character dev and world building, then this is a sure read.

Besides the ideologies and history, the environment of the story is quite 'good'. It set up reasons as to how events in the past affected the future. At the same time, there are quite a lot of foreshadowing that happens. The story was also able to establish how communities of people interact with other communities, mainly through excessive discrimination. Only very few individuals do not exhibit such.

The art style is also great, but it would be difficult identifying some others, mainly because of uniforms or similarly drawn faces and hair styles.

Overall, I really recommend this series especially if you are looking for character developments and world building. You can probably self-insert yourself into multiple characters and even sympathise and empathise their line of thought and actions.

This has to be one of the most rushed series I’ve read so far in my mind. The pacing of this series moves at neck breaking speeds because the fact of the matter is that no character in this series can get at least 5-10 pages of character development. Everything in this series happens so quickly that you really wonder what the point of it all was. There is so much of this series that is left unchecked, unanswered to the point that I think that some people would have to go as far and say “this wasn’t worth reading because the author rushed it”. ... I really think that this deserves at least an extra 20 chapters and a do-over because this more like a draft or concept to me story wise because the transitions between Zech’s stages of life are so disorienting coupled with the half or middle chapters that you don’t get to encapsulate what it was like for Zechs to grow up other than those first couple of chapters. Moreover, I often found that there felt like there were often recalls back to the past that weren't impactful in any way because of the rushed nature of the story. There is undeniably so much potential with this series that the author hasn’t examined and it’s really a shame that the series was done like this in the end. The magic system, the cultural practices and roots of Zechs, why Zechs can’t read, who were the main political players and what it would mean for a nation, like all of that was glossed over for a friendship ending that leaves you scratching your head like are they going to make more chapters? But it all ended flat. The amount of panels of the many characters I simply didn’t care about didn’t help to the disappointment that comes with this series and that’s to put it in all honesty.
