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...

I originally red the one shot for this manga before it became a series, and that's the main reason I'm reading the series. Personally the one shot is would've been a better chapter 1 than that chapter one, 'cause honestly I don't think I would've read it.
The series it's self show's promise and the chapters after 1 are pretty good and he's even found himself a rival. Makes me think of Eyeshield 21. You start with a weak kid who's only good in one thing. In the Main character's case he has "SPEACIAL~" EYES and he meets a ghost. I'll leave it at that.

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.

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
It's just so-so... not really great, not bad either. While mentor-pupil theme is often used, somehow I feel it's too similar to Hikaru no Go. The impression of it grow larger in me after reading chapter 3:
I think it maybe survived, but if not, I won't be surprised. I just wait and see...
6/10

What with Sayuri possess Kurogane? It's just like how Sai possess Hikaru to defeat Akira. Sai wants to know Akira's ability, and when Akira attacks him fiercely, he shows his true strength, making Akira acknowledge Hikaru. Hence, Hikaru become rival to Akira and aim for him.
Somehow I can see the same plot happen in this series. Kurogane (who doesn't know, even 'hate' kendo before) begin learning it, grow to love it, and aim for Shidou

The manga so far is pretty average. The shoehorning of the sport onto the typical negative minded special snowflake hero felt more forced than usual for a manga of this type. The air headed female friend's characterization was for some reason made worse in the first chapter than the one shot. The fast introduction of the rival gives hope that the story will progress at a decent pace instead of getting bogged down at least.
The saving grace is muppet Sayuri. She is just too adorable and the real star of the manga, I would have most likely just have dropped this series completely instead of giving it a few more chapters if not for her.
5/10 (3/10 without muppet Sayuri factor)
