Have read every chapter available up until now, and it's a great manga, with gorgeous art (only to be expected from the same artist who did Shin Angyo Onshi, another fantastic manwha), likeable characters, and a compelling story. The hero (who is not who you think it will be after the first few chapters) initially seems like your typical shounen guy who wins based solely on power, luck, and determination, but this guy has an actual brain to go with all of that, and he uses it frequently in combat, which is really well drawn and entertaining. The superpowers presented are surprisingly original - you'll see some stuff here the X-Men actually didn't do first - and the plot stays consistent, interesting, and moves along at a brisk clip. Just about every character has their moment in the spotlight, and there's a strong element of nakama going on here, you know, the power of companionship and changing people's hearts, which I very much enjoy; very few characters here I didn't eventually come to like and sympathize with. There's a healthy dollop of scantily clad chicks and a few ecchi moments, but nothing gross, and no romance.
Only reason it doesn't get a 10 is because it's not done yet, I'm not terribly happy with the turn the story's taken as of the latest release, and even the best manga can still go to hell before the end, but I'm hoping this'll be different. Highly recommended.
