Preliminary (42/? eps)

I'm actually shocked that Centuria isn't one of the most popular or praised new series right now because so far I have enjoyed every single moment in this manga. I would start off by saying that many people have compared it to Berserk or Vinland Saga but Shonen which may be true. I have watched Vinland Saga up to season 2 but haven't read the manga and have also not read Berserk so people who have read/watched those may have a different feeling for this series. It does remind me of Vinland Saga in some aspects but that's a good things as Vinland Saga is ... one of the most praised manga of all time.

I'll start off by saying that the first chapter is one of the best I have read for a Shonen manga. Its so gripping and just got me so into this world and the MC Julian. You can easily see Julian's role in this story and it gives a reason for readers to root for him unlike some other manga or anime where the MC feels has nothing of interest in the beginning . Then as the story goes on it just keeps getting better and better. Slowly as the reader is introduced to more aspects of this world it just keeps becoming so much more intriguing.

I love how this manga looks especially the monsters which the MC and his group fight. There are no battle manga with these types of designs that I've read and it really got me more hooked to Centuria. These kind of horror aspects also work really well with the action focused parts of the story giving the reader different experiences throughout. Also the other character designs are great with my favorites being Julian, Angvall, Elestri, Lacrima. There are some moments where I feel the art could be a bit better but overall its very good.

The story so far has been peak. Especially the first major arc in this story has been my favorite first arc I have read in a while. It more feels like a climatic moment in a story which would be at least 50+ chapters but its done in the first 20-30. You really get to see some great moments from the MC and the side-cast as well and the world starts to really get fleshed out more. If these first chapters got adapted to an anime or movie I think it would be a instant success. I would say that the setting of this story is the most interesting aspect for me. I keep reading because I want to know more about this world and how it works. The author has set up some long term mystery aspects for example like one piece and the void century which I cant wait to be further explored.

I will say that the story is also very well paced. We get some moments where the plot slows down and we explore the character interactions more but also sometimes it goes quickly through the action which is what I enjoy. The author is also not afraid of taking some risks with some story decisions that might upset fans which is something I enjoy in this series but also in others. Certain characters you like feel like they could go at any moment which really builds up the suspense in this story and is a criticism I have for a lot of other popular Shonen series.

Currently the manga is entering its second big story arc which is a perfect time for new readers to start and catch up to the weekly release. I'm super excited to see the direction this series heads as it is one of my favorite manga currently coming out. The story has so much left to explore as well, if this manga becomes more popular I could genuinely see it going for over 200+ chapters minimum.

I would say that if you enjoy other Shonen series which are a little more dark or series like Vinland Saga with themes of a found-family, redemption or personal growth I would definitely recommend Centuria. A new gen manga which I feel like is really gonna explode in 2025 and right now is the perfect time to start the series.

Score: 10/10

Preliminary (37/? eps)

Its not bad, but its such a a wasted potential.

In the start it's really surprising, with the first chapters giving "The Return of Obra Dinn" vibes, the Lovecraftian horror being really well made, but...nothing can be good for to long, and even if the horror sometimes still show up a little in the story, the potential is totally lost when it become a generic battle Shounen with fights, friendship drama, superpowers, villain groups, transformations and worst, and that dont fit with the Lovecraftian theme the story started with, and worst of all, all the shonen cliche is not good, it's just a mix ...

Preliminary (18/? eps)

Centuria's first few chapters seemed really promising, with it's dark atmosphere, Lovecraftian creatures and unforgiving world, but then characters start acting like they're in a children series, with everything being black and white, villains being comically evil and the heroes being little angels from god, mc is as naive as a toddler, characters win battles with the power of friendship and all.

Very disappointing, this is a generic shonen series trying to pretend it's mature with GORE and over rendered backgrounds, non-powered characters in full armor moving like they're weightless, even the art that felt was incredible in the first couple of chapters started showing cracks, ...
