I don't really have in complaints. It was definitely fun to read, I enjoyed reading about all the different types of magic and I loved the main characters. The art was also very nice. The story moved at a pretty decent pace right up to the end. The wedding ritual would have made an excellent conclusion, but then they added in the bonds ritual (or whatever it's called). It was really sad, I actually shed a little tear, but that's only because I thought the story ended there.

But, alas, it continued a little more and I was excited, but I felt like the last part was just a little too..meh. I would have preferred to either axe that whole wedding scene, leave it with everyone parting, or to stretch out the part about them meeting a little more.
I mean, when they met it seemed like they recognized each other which wasn't very dramatic.

But that's only a small complaint and it came at the very end so it didn't really affect the story. Everything else was really good. I have trouble finding magical adventure mangas, especially good ones like this.
It had cute art, but it was still bloody, morbid and had lots of fighting. Check.
It had comical relief but there were moments you feared for the character's lives or some characters just scared the shit out of out. Check.
It had romance, but it wasn't overpowering, nor was it lacking. Check.
It started off strong and continued in that same fashion through the whole series. And this gets a double check because it didn't have a bunch of fillers, instead, small rituals were put into side stories. Check. Check
The ending was conclusive (sort of), but it didn't ruin the story for me or anything I just accept it as it is and I'm just happy everything seemed to work out for the "family" in the end. Check.

Good story. Give it a go. I read it all in one sitting, I couldn't put it downXD

What a terrible ending. It's seems pretty obvious that it got axed. Especially as they had set up a bunch of interesting stuff, like the other sages.

I really would've liked it to focus on the creation/fulfilling of more rituals NOT related to the Magico. the magic system seems like a pretty brilliant idea that was wasted on this series, when i look back on it as a whole.

It's good until the finishing of the tournament arc. after that, it's not getting any better, just getting worse so you may as well stop there.

P.S. Seriously loved the idea of rituals and sacrifices and trials to get magic. It's a shame... :/

 An Enjoyable Series

The greatest shonen manga of all time this is undoubtedly not... however, it's still very enjoyable and fun while it lasted. The story was a breath of fresh air, but the art left a bit to be desired and the story felt bogged down by one too many generic shonen cliches. Long story short: If you LOVE shonen-romance then give this a read, but if you already have way too many manga on your wish list and not nearly enough time to read them then pass this by.

I'm just gonna comment bout the ending.
Although it's rushed, things were cleared up pretty well. Most of all, the epilogue is beautifully done and gives a satisfying end. Definitely one of the better endings out there.

I love almost everything about this manga! The plot, the art and the characters!
Especially the characters! i like how in the very first chapter they get married!
What i don't like is Emma. I mean, she blushes so much that i thought she had no brain :S And during fights, she sits and watch! i hate to say this, but she was almost useless -.-''
Anyway, the plot is original and simple and there's not too much drama...
It's also very funny, especially with Shion (Kyaaa~~)
And i simply LOVE the art! A good manga must have a good art, right? wink
This really deserves a 10/10!! just one thing made me angry while reading this: Emma.

Like other people said, this is a cute series. however, Magico might be too shounen-ish for some people. Or if you're the people who fuss about the fact that "shounen is not a genre" or whatever, you might prefer "too idealistic".

Also, I dunno if I just read too many slow-paced manga (no, I don't only mean Bleach), but I feel the pacing in Magico might be a little too rushed. Well, I guess thanks to that Magico are able to avoid Dragonball-esque/Bleach-esque powerup syndrome thus far.

Anyway, I recommend this for those who like cute shounen romance series, not for those who loathe idealistic shounen series

Cute manga, the kind that makes you smile every other panel. I love the premise that the guy is totally head over heels in love for a sincere girl who isn't thought of as extremely beautiful and popular for the usual shoujo reasons and that the guy is pretty quirky himself. He isn't some perv taking advantage of some ditzy girl.

I love romances where the heroine is pretty ignorant of how deeply the hero feels for her. I don't care if she's a Mary Sue character because she is lovable that way and isn't chasing after some cold distant "cool" guy. The love is pretty innocent but doesn't have the melodrama commonly found in shoujo manga. It's why I love romances in shounen most of the time where there isn't heavy ecchi and harem tropes tied in.

I like ecchi when it's used more for the girl's advantage and not the guy's. This is enjoyable and light yet showing depth when looked for by the reader.

Shion is just so adorable. The art is adorable in itself but the characters are just flat out lovable. There are so many 'kyaha!' moments despite this being shounen and the fight scenes are just as big and loud as any. Freaking awesome in some stages and interesting all throughout.

I would have to say, one of the best manga on jump ever biggrin This focuses on both action, and balances it with romance, which is awsome! and the humour is the best out of all the manga so far on jump, since it's not completly focused of fighting, and the art is amazing. Also, there is a lot of potential coming from magico, unlike the bigger manga, especially bleach, where the villian and plot is forced and made up on the spot. The only problem is that this is published in jump, which is more focused on shouen stuff, so shoujo manga (even if it's a little) might not be too welcomed, but i think it's amazing XD hope it will go on, fight on! biggrin

I love this manga so much! I've been reading it since the first 5 chapters came out.. This manga is really cute, I love the art (( cuz im into chibi like things for some reason o3o' )) the story is actually really interesting. But the thing I hate the most, is how it seems like it's going to end.. I want it to kinda be like Bleach and how it goes on for a long time (( but not as long cuz tht'll b a total waste, but for like a couple of years or so )) some people say its more aimed at girls or it seems girly.. I don't think that at all, cuz all of the scenes with Emma being like well idk mostly naked xD and she has huge boobs (( how is tht not shounen xDDD )) and all the fighting and what not, its pretty freakin shounen to meh.. i hope it goes on for a long long time ;D
