Okay this is the first time I've ever written a review so I'm not exactly sure what to say but here goes nothing.

So first off, the story. I gave it an 8 cause the story really got me hooked up after chapter 15 and it's going on great. I'm not gonna go any further into the contents cause I might spoil you, BUT... The introduction, the "premise", however, is indeed overused, which was a bit of a turndown for me at first, but the story behind it is a lot more original and mysterious than I anticipated, I REALLY enjoyed the mysteries and the twisted-ness (not sure if that's a word) in it cause I love making theories and discussing them with others, but maybe that's just me. That being said, I'm also into the idea of their weapons so there's that.

The art though, absolutely amazing. The volume covers and the shadings are breathtaking, the backgrounds are super detailed and the characters are very well-drawn too, I really like how they are so expressive most of the time. I mean, kudos to Yamamoto cause he's one heck of a manga artist.

What's really nice about this manga is that the characters are so well-developed. Most of them have great developments as the story goes, especially the main character since he kind of starts off as this very typical shounen manga protagonist. I also like the fact that most girls in this manga are strong and independent, but also sensitive cause I was getting sick of the crying-whining clingy type in lots of shounens.

So overall I really enjoyed it, there were moments that made me laugh, I did not find it "predictable" cause I came in the manga having no clue on what was to happen and though the story starts off cliché and all but I think if you give it about 19 chapters, you'll enjoy it just as much as I did.

So thank you so much for reading and I hope my review was useful to you all.
