This manga, while I started off thinking it was going to be mediocre, has taken a turn for the better. This is a seinen mature manga, therefore they acknowledge the realities of sex, war and politics. It starts out with Koinzell on his quest for revenge and branches out into a depiction of the political intrigue and realities behind a peace that was created under false means and cowardice. I like how they used the 7 sins of man to depict the 7 heroes, which btw for all you people that automatically assume these with catholicism and religion, these are actually things that are more
...
philosophical in nature and only artists and writers seem to explore these without assuming the basis being religion. What gets interesting is how one character's quest for revenge unveils the true personalities of the ones who were identified as heroes, and how the corruption of the kingdom ensued.
Story: 9
I am not fully read, and it is still ongoing, but like I stated up there, it is an interesting story. Right now where I am at, chapter 107, there are too many plotholes for me to understand fully how certain things are going on, and since I don't want to give spoilers, lets just say something happened and no explanation was given of how and why. Overall the story keeps you wanting to read if you like decent plots.
Art: 9
Amazing art, despite what people have said about the main character's design, the character designs in this manga are done well, and beautiful background art, some pieces as detailed as Berserk. While not as awesome as Berserk when it comes to the violent depictions of people and monsters getting slaughtered, it is still pretty damn awesome.
Character: 10
I love the characters, and I actually see development in Koinzell/Ascheriit. In the beginning it seems as if he wanted revenged solely out of anger, but what I see is much more than anger. You definitely see more than one side to him and you start to see that he is starting to move forward. You see how human the characters are, and even feel for the ones that die. You also see growth in someone who was stuck in the same place for a long time.
Enjoyment: 10
I enjoy reading this manga, and hope that it can reach a worthy conclusion. I just hope that this doesn't become a manga that gets shut down by the so called fans. I am not a fan, but I appreciate all things, so I will definitely support this artist in his pursuit of truth.
Overall 9
This manga is probably on my top 10, my first of course being Berserk and this being around second or third.
