I've read a lot of reviews, and many of them seem to be complaining about how it is written instead of actually reviewing what is written. "I wanted more of the main character", "I wanted more of the school life", "I wanted more ecchi"...well that's not what this manhwa is about. How can you give it a bad review for something that it isn't?

This is a story about modern approaches to traditional martial arts, and the struggle between those traditionalists and their contemporaries. It is about fighters finding their "Veritas" (truth). For some its political/economic power, others it's cultural tradition, and some just want to be strong fighters. In any event, the art is fantastic, the fights are satisfying, and the development of both characters and their abilities is obvious but not overstated.

Some people mentioned confusion because the plot is pretty involved, but much of that is remedied now that it is completely translated. It was only hard waiting a few weeks between scanlations when the plot was getting heavy, and you would have forgotten all about what was said previously. Rereading it a second time through was thoroughly enjoyable. The ending was a bit rushed, but it leaves a great bridge into a potential Part 2.

At first it started as ur typical shounen type one, but later on it reveals a bit deeper and darker story which i hope will stay that way.

I also like that they dont make a hussle between gender in a fight, the girls get really beaten up and not pampered.

Most noticable is the character designs, the girls are way more beautiful then any manga or manhwa ive read. if the artist of this manhwa turned to a hentai artist he would earn a fortune ;D

to me, in the begining it was great all the way to chapter 77 after that the author just bust a 180 on the story line and just rushed and ending from there.but i guess i still recommend this manga because it had great art and action but man what a waste of an awesome manga with so much potential i hate when they axed really great a series like this and ruin it. Damn this is why i dont watch series that have been axed at one point

Spoiler:

i mainly hated how the author just killed off the school and half the side characters like they werent shit just to end the series wtf MAN?/!! also Vera...... that supid bitch!!!! i hope she get her ass kicked by the main character and if not by him then by her big sister (even though shes an evil bitch too) and then i hope she burns in hell for what she did, damn the author needs to make a sequel already

Hmmm... I'm surprised something like this can come out so well in a manwha. It's weirdly realistic in such a way that it's almost frightening. I have to say, I was not expecting what happened at the end. Completely left me speechless. So many emotions.

I'm pleased to say that I was completely bewitched by the characters. The beauty of the girl characters was sublime (REALLY nice proportions too) , and the boy's muscles weren't overbearing but "tough". In fact, this puts a massive emphasis on technique and endurance. And I loved how they were were twisted.

I think the characters, themselves are really important in the development of the plot because, although the plot is good, the characters are definitely the FORTE of Veritas. You want to see what he or she can do next or will do. These characters grow mentally and physically at an alarming rate, but it doesn't seem sudden or rushed. Would've liked to see more of gangryong though.

The ferocity of the fights were mouth watering. I couldn't even begin to imagine martial arts was such a wicked world. Usually you see blood going everywhere, but never realize the reality of someone getting hurt or dying. I'm quite astounded the author managed to instill the reality of fighting into something which is, let's face it, fantasy.

The plot is really well thought of, very clever, but also intriguing. I think many of the things said towards the end and the discoveries are a MASSIVE boost for the next part. Possibly the only downside is the shortness. I agree with the many people who say this could have been developped further, probably so we can get attached more to the characters. I think this would have had more of an impact in the last scenes. Plus we don't always have enough time to get a feel for the relationships, again something which could have affected the last scenes favourably.

Overall, AMAZING, sucks about the title though.... don't think it really had its place in the story...could've done without... plus Veritas means Truth/Honesty therefore... I think it was a last minute title!

The hottest looking girls of all the manga I have ever read. I find it hard not to pull an 'American Pie' on my monitor when I'm reading this manga.

The only thing I have to warn ppl about is the names. If you're used to Japanese manga, then the names will be the thing you need to adjust to the most. Second would be the American-style left-to-right reading order. I often find myself reading in the wrong direction, then have to re-read the pages that (obviously) made little sense.

But it will be worth your time. Best character design I've seen in forever.

I love this manhwa I gave it a 9/10 because the beginning is a bit slow and takes time to get into the plot. However, the art is great and the characters are good. Sometimes the characters frustrate me but whatever.

I think that is you love or like this manhwa, you should read The Breaker. It is very similar in that it involves martial arts, school life, supernatural stuff, and a mix of comedy to it. I don't think that you should just stop with The Breaker, you should also read Chunchu, though it is quite different than The Breaker or Veritas, it is still very good. Chunchu is a historic series but it is action packed, filled with swords, and more.
If you liked these suggestions please send me mail and I could tell you some other series you would like or you could just look at my reading list, hold list, wish list, and complete list. I am sure you could find fun series there.

PS You should also read Beezlebub. It is so funny and it has some action.

The reason I am not giving this a 10 is because the story has ended after 81 chaps but has left open a lot of lose ends. Something must of happened behind the scenes in real life that forced the cancellation of what would of been season 2.

The Mc is a total idiot and a street brawler whose preservation endures him to a martial arts master. He then learns this Master's art and gets tangled up in the politics surrounding his martial art. Its basically a story about new vs old and how should things progress.

In one corner is Reunion, they take all Korean Arts possible and dissect them and "improve" them an then spit out new easy to learn version. The idea being that what was once secret techs are now open for everyone providing you have the ability to learn to. They also do what is called making artificial ki, with students being graded by how units(60 years worth per unit) of ki they have.

Then you have the traditionalists. For one part they believe that Korean martial arts should be taught only to Koreans, especially for what they call the Heaven Riches class(which are the strongest martial arts in this story). They are passed down from one master to student, sort of like the Sith Rule of Two. As such with the Lightning school, its forms are abandon and stripped to its core principles as these core principles are meant to be mastered and them in corporates into the current master/student personal style. This means that the lightning school evolves and changes with each new successor. For the MC he is a street brawler so take that what you will. The school he is in also suffers from a user having a large ki pool as it deals with purify ki and using it, thus a quality vs quantity thing and the MC never gets the artificial ki boosts as they are detrimental to his style.

The Story revs up the political slowly but the story ends with twists that will make you go wtf. 10/10 if it had a season 2 but for now 9/10.

Well it wasn't a 10 due to the rushed ending and leaving many points pending (probably for a continuation). The drawing is great. Full of details, showing the emotion on their faces and body language. The story is good. Not the best because it is interesting but could have been better developed. Sometimes one or another character could remember us of others characters from another manga, but it is ok, the similarity stopped there.
In fact I really would appreciate to read a continuation to see what happened with all the story cliffhangers.
