Description
Kurogane Hiroto is in high school, where he is academically the top of his class but literally the worst in physical activity. Born with a weak body, he has no endurance, speed nor strength and Hiroto wants nothing more than to be a hero. Fate teases him by giving him phenomenal eye sight, which allows him to see well beyond anyone else in sports, but his body is not able to react to any of it.
He learns from his friend Shiratori, who wants to recruit him for the Kendo team, about a rumor about a ghost named Tojo Sayuri, who wields a katana and haunts an alley in the city. Half curious, Hiro... More...

Well, this manga has quite a lovely starting concept though it kind of loses focuse part way through. I would definitely recomend this to any fan of 'weak to strong' stories. The protagonist is very like able and easy to cheer on. I find the art to be good and clear but a bit shoujo-ish at times (though a moderate amount of fan service ensures that you won't forget the target audience). The ending was a bit inconclusive feeling but I rated high due to my initial love of the story concept and characters.
i agree with what KLGChaos said, after chapter 9 when the overpowered rival appeared having an even more powerful eyesight than the protagonist and on top of that the fisical strenght and agility, i stopped reading the manga, and as i guessed after reading a few comments of the lastest chapters i knew that all that i thought it was going to happen happened. the autor need to change the story, it will bore people if they knew what was going to happen
The artwork is decent, but the story is so-so, main character save the heroine and has someone training him to become stronger.Well, i can't said it bad or good since it still chapter 9.The furture outcome is depend on the author and artist.

So far this plays by the the numbers. Weak guy finds a mentor. Mentor designates wimp as the inheritor of the mentor's martial arts discipline. Training and fighting ensues. The wimp goes emo once in a while so the mentor smacks him around to set him straight.
The art is pretty good and as another poster said, muppet Sayuri is adorable. In many ways, she carries the story since she is there to do to the protagonist what everybody would want to do to the wimp, beat him over the head until he grows a spine. For that alone this is worth a look.

I like the theme of "weak to strong" protagonist. Nice blend of action comedy supernatural.
Its got lots of potential, I'll be looking forward to seeing him develop the the sakura one-strike style. I agree it kinda feels like Hikaru no go, but for some reason it reminds me of mx0 as well.
any manga that can make me laugh gets bonus marks.

I'm not familiar with all the technical aspects of kendo, so I can't be a good judge of that. But this looks more and more like eyeshild and POT, where it starts getting crazier and crazier, until both opponents laser eye beaming each other. Plus, soon enough, the amount of cheese is gonna beat any manga out there. And that would be fine(for shounen). What really doesn't sit right with me is the power curve. It feels like the author doesn't have that much plot moves. I like the art, and the starting idea, but this thing is going nowhere, fast.
and feeling just fine until fifth. and start getting annoyed afterwards. I'm kinda guy who despise easily guessed pattern. and as this manga doesn't deviate so much from jump staple formula...,
indeed its flaw to use eyesight as killer point. but honestly, i'm not so sure myself. I don't have such photographic eyesight. nor high-spec dynamic one. so for now, i will just enjoy the ride.

I agree that I don't really understand what really really good eyesight will do for you in kendo. Maybe if his talent was just simply paying attention to small details or something... Also, I enjoyed the manga a bit all the way until the funky looking characters were added (the kid with the giant lollipop that looks like a meth head)
This is rather cookie cutter with a unique ability, it really comes down to the mangaka on this one though it could easily fail in its development but I believe it has a chance to be a long-running manga
Good "one shot "and probably gona be a good story he is week but at least u know he have special ability and i like it after one chapter so i'm waiting for more to give it a proper comment 
FOR now 8
