Good introduction. This follows the usual shounen formula, but I like Sano’s ideology. For him, revenge is futile because it just begets more violence, but he also knows he has to literally fight for peace to come. He’s innocent and naïve but not totally stupid; there’s a balance. The Sunday school in me cringes at the names of Sano’s moves lol, but the action sequences are great.
This volume sets up a few threads that will definitely get spun into something later: can Sano win with forgiveness or will he give into darkness hence the"infinite night," Mikael's past, what happened to the nearly extinct tribes like Ryuzaki, more breakdown on the Lords and the sorcery powers.
On the downside, I could see Madam Naomi’s schtick getting old very fast no pun intended. When it’s time for exposition or worldbuilding, the text/speech bubbles can get very wordy. But the artwork is snazzy and dynamic! Concerning character design, I love Sano, Opal, and Miakel’s designs.
I would at least read a volume two. The ending went deep into some scifi-ness that I want to see the conclusion of. hello, Metaverse! Hey boo!

I like this series, but the pacing could definitely improve. The plot is moving too fast here for me. There are dramatic plot developments that need time to soak, so the transition to a new character or new fight scene feels very rough or premature.
The fighting itself is great and the moves/poses are dynamic and creative, but I feel there could be more buildup. Instead, it’s just on sight for these characters. Like, are we already getting the tournament arc?
We also have a large cast of characters to get to know, and the story would benefit from introducing them all slowly. They all have stellar designs, and I’d love to learn more. Cezar, in particular, seems like a really cool foil to Sano; they’re complete opposites in ideology. The artwork is great as usual, so no issues there.
I'm interested in seeing how volume 4/the new arc goes as the content is more recent.… (plus d'informations)

First of all I would like to thank Netgallery and Odunze Oguguo for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I will say the copy sent to me by Netgallery was hard to read but I did push through and finish the book. It did take me a while to get into the story but once some the action started it was a great read. The art was black and white and what I could see it was really but again the copy sent to me some of the art was blurry. I'd love to read the next one.

I hope as the volumes continue the story will get leaner with exposition and we learn more about the characters.
