Description
From Village Idiot:
To Minagawa Ichiri, both good things and bad things are bothersome. That's why his principle is to avoid doing anything that would cause such a thing. However, there is one thing that he can't avoid - because of his parents' jobs, he was constantly transferring from school to school. This time, he has transferred to Reimei Academy, one of the five famous private academies called the "Seven Sisters." On his tour of the school with vice president Kirishima Shitone, an attack occurs! The attacker seems to go after people with long black hair and a sword in an attempt to find and exact revenge on "Double Edge," who killed one of her best friends using a power called "Idea," where she brings her principles into reality using a wrist band called "Codec."
It's not my practice to comment on just the first chapter, but... the execution of one part just ticked me off.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I mean, if the characters are going to suddenly get caught in the crossfire (we're talking explosions, btw) of two fighters who come out of nowhere then I expect somewhat of a grand scene... but instead I get 6 very vague panels which I have to run through at least three times just to make sense of the succeeding ones.
That scene is just so poorly done I thought the page numbers were messed up. And since this is supposed to be an action manga, I'm seriously having doubts as to how the fight scenes will go in the future (not that I'm an action manga fan, but still).
I can't comment much on the plot yet as barely anything has been revealed, so I'll update this as the plot unravels. Though this does remind me of Mai-Hime...
UPDATE: Just read the 2nd chapter... and I'm not impressed.
The action is lame, and while the story seems to want to go somewhere (as of the end of the chapter), it is cliched like SomePerson (comment above) mentioned. And I'm not averse to ecchi and fanservice, but... seriously, a girl getting hacked by two swords and only the part covering her chest gets damaged? Stupid and totally unnecessary.
I think I want to give this an opportunity to redeem itself, but I'm not particularly optimistic.
Very poorly done manga. The story is immediately rushed in such a way that the reader isn't given time to comprehend what is going on before being thrown into the action. Only a few pages in, a fight starts and suddenly a bunch of different foreign terms are being thrown around and the main character acts like all of these sudden changes are at worst a small schoolyard brawl. There is absolutely no build up, and the entirety of it is entirely too confusing as is. It's cliche, and it's as interesting as it is comprehensible. I'll attempt to read more of it and hope it picks up, but the first three chapters are a bad sign.
Don't even waste your time reading this like I did. The plot makes no sense, the action is lame and I'm pretty sure I died a little on the inside reading the three chapters. Ten minutes I'll never get back
I started reading this and I have no idea what is going on. The manga feels to be so rushed, every page something new seems to happen. I was in the "Wtf" mode in chapter two. This feels like i'm reading Medaka Box... the only thing that is good about this manga is the art imo. I don't think people should read this at all...
Yeah, it's a manga. Yeah, there can be supernatural powers and stuff.
But really, the way it was introduced was just bad. The explanation for these superpowers is just bad or nonexistent. This guy transfers to a school and suddenly they all have superpowers? Why is this not known by the outside world? The way it's dealt with in the school doesn't seem exactly secretive.
