The manga suddenly became ecchi well more so going towards porn -.-
I think the change is because of the manga's popularity and need to attract more readers. I lost my interest reading the manga because of the lack of character development. I mean the character is strong but he is restricted or being protected by other characters. Its really disappointing since the manga has potential.

Art is done by an amateur manga artist, it seems (judging from the quality of the artwork). It's still decent, but I'm looking forward to improvement in the future. 4/10
Story is interesting enough but the characters lack depth. I don't quite understand what's going on except that there is lots of fighting and some supernatural business with the tattoo on his hand. 6/10

Seriously read this manga ppl. Only two chapters and bother chapters totally awesome making for a strong as beginning. The hero already starts off strong as he is well trained in martial arts. He has a strong sense of justice well and the whole spell crest(tattoo) thing is damn interesting. The fight scenes are clear and easy to follow and ofcourse art is good as well. So far its damn good. Has the potential to be a great manga. There is some good comedy going on as well.
EDIT: Changed my mind. The manga went downhill fast after the frist two-three chapters. I guess you should never judge a manga too quickly. Too many cliches, a male lead who failed to differentiate himself in terms of personality from the thousands of other male leads out there, a cliche supporting cast made this manga just unappealing for me later on. For those of you who have just started reading manga, this might be a good one to start off with but for experienced manga readers, despite the kinda original concept in terms of powers, the good art, this manga was let down by its boring boring characters who are just one dimensional now.
