STORY - 10
The story is a basic tournament, but what makes it interesting are the little developments along the way, the twists and turns and the way the characters react to everything. The story also flows really well, keeps with the original theme, knows how to create tense moments as well as use comic relief at the right times.

ART - 8
It's beautifully done and unique to the artist.

CHARACTER - 10
The characters are so well done, they develop really well and you find yourself almost routing for them all. You see their friendships all become something real.

Anna -Anna is Yoh's fiancé's and wow she ... is amazing, she is one of the few female characters that actually shows so much confidence and strength. Personally I think she's an icon, she overcomes adversity, has immense courage, is intelligent and fearless. As she develops we get to see more of her soft side and her backstory.

Hao - His character becomes so loveable, its well rounded and you end up wanting to see his friendship with the gang develop more. Basically he's a bit tsundere princess.

Yoh - Probably the best shounen character (in my opinion) Yoh is carefree, outgoing, fun, courageous and kind. He is so unique for a main character but it is done beautifully.

STORY - 9
This is an amazing and unique story. Not only does it explore a fresh and new philosophy, it extends into an interesting world. It flows amazingly and I found myself obsessing over what would come next. The conclusion was done extremely well in my opinion.

ART-10
The way this is drawn, it is art in every sense of the word. It's unique, captivating, interesting.
Some people may not like its style, just because its not how manga is normally drawn but personally I found it to be gorgeous.

CHARACTER - 8
The characters are interesting and develop alongside the story. I found myself ... looking at the MC and thinking about how much she had changed without me realising. The other characters Umi and Sora, are gorgeously done. I fell in love with them all.

ENJOYMENT - 10
I personally enjoyed this manga, I come from a town by the sea and study marine science so maybe I'm biased ahah. But I found myself shifting while I read this, I found myself not only enjoying the story but relating to so many things about it. I don't think ill ever stop thinking about this series.

OVERALL - 9

The story itself is amazing in my opinion, it brings together the classic feeling of a shounen anime with a twist ending that really pulls at the heartstrings, you are able to empathise with almost all the characters and the overall plot is something bittersweet. 8/10

The art style is very raw and unproportioned however it fits well with the type of anime it is. Many scenes really show us a good use of colour and distorted art, especially the Sabbath parties. It matches the sound and chaos happening around. 8/10

The sound is average, voice acting is decent but the only thing that really stood ... out was the reoccurring music and one of the main characters Ryo's voice. 5 /10

The characters are interesting, you get to see them develop in such a short amount of time, you can also see minor characters personality in very few scenes, I was able to become attached to characters I didn't like as well as characters that were only shown for about 10 minutes of screen time. 8/10

I thoroughly enjoyed this anime was binge-worthy in my opinion, The ending itself left me feeling overwhelmed and contemplating so much, the start was in many ways cliche however as I reached the climax of the anime It made me realise how far It had gone compared to where it started. 10/10

Overall - 8/10
