Radiant

Description

Seth is an aspiring sorcerer from the Pompo Hills area. Like all wizards, he is an "infected": one of the few living beings who survived the contact of the Nemesis, these creatures fallen from the sky that contaminate and decimate all those they touch. His apparent immunity made him choose a path which seemed to him to be all the more appropriate: to become a Hunter and to fight the Nemesis. But more than that, Seth wants to engage in a quest that goes beyond the simple hunt for monsters ... He wants to find the Radiant, their presumed cradle. Surrounded by a faction of sorcerers, he traveled the world in search of the Radiant, under the terrible eye of the Inquisition ...

EPIC SHONEN

by yaglurt

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

it's a pleasant change to read a shonen written in French, and a well-written one at that (compared to manga translated from Japanese - or worse, translated from English translated from Japanese - where there's bound to be some loss, especially in terms of humor). I would have given a 10 if the first volume wasn't so cliché. Some recognition of its qualities: Radiant achieved the double feat of being the first French manga published in Japan and the first foreign manga to be adapted for animation by the Japanese! (Don't watch the anime, it's mediocre, low-budget and a disrespectable adaptation of the manga)

I can't get past the first 10 chapters.

generic & predictable development
lack of intensity and stakes

But the art is very good lol.

Much better after a rough, cliche' start

I'll recommend watching the anime seasons because they flesh out the backstories a bit, but a warning: the first volume/first ten episodes are very cliche and honestly boring. It seems as if the author finally found a rhythm and thus the story and more importantly the characters begin to fill out depth and emotional motivations.Indeed, season 2 of the anime is much better and improves on most of the dreaded shounen tropes.

I highly recommend Raidant, especially once you get past the first volume/ handful of episodes in season 1. They discuss discrimination, loneliness, love, irrational fear of immigrants and other emotional plot devices that are surprisingly well-executed. I would love to give it an 8.5 but the beginning was, again bland at best.

Refreshing story telling

It's cliche shounen story, but the manga published in french, so the story can be translated to english without the loss of plot or significant cultural difference. The art is good, but you can't help but draw parallel to other similar shounen manga. It really felt like the author pick the element of many story (even outside manga) and combine them into their own world building.

Better than it seems

This is actually a good read if you can get past the first volume.
The first volume is just really shounen in style, but it gets better with each volume and the actual good story is starting from the 4th volume.

While I agree with the other comments that the beginning is very shounen, I encourage people to at least try to read beyond volume 1 because it only gets better.

So shounen it hurts

by Seregosa

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

Really, it's not bad per se, it's just so damn cliché that I feel I've seen this stuff a thousand times before, like the typical stuff, be it naruto, one piece or similar stuff. It adds nothing extra like good comedy or anything. The art is also disgustingly similar to that stuff. This wasn't for me at all, a complete newbie might love it.
