Sensou Kyoushitsu is a series that has sold itself not with shock value or hype moments but with compelling storytelling and world-building. It is one of the best fantasy adventure series in years and deserves all the praise it is bound to get in the future. But what makes it such a great read?

Man, what an amazing manga.
The Bugle's Call is about a kid called Lucas who is part of a mercenary band as the bugler.

Every page pulls you deeper, making the world feel vast, the stakes high, and the emotions raw.
