I hope this review can be useful. English is not my nacional language so It will probably has some mistakes.

Story: The plot occurs in a Cademy of Magic, where Louise studies with her familiar Hiraga Saito. The story's beginning is very similar to a slice of life, introducing you to that world slowly. Then the big war starts and both Saito and Louise are "forced" to participate on it. The main characters have theirs own goals; Saito doesn't want to stay on this world anymore he wants to go back to Japan (his homeland). Louise is called "Zero Louise", because of her inability to use any of the four common magical elements. The power of a magician is determined by the number of elements he can use, ranging from a single element (magician "point") to four elements ("square" magician). So, Louise wants to prove that she is capable to become a good mage even if she is not able to use any of the four elements (fire, water, earth and wind).

Characters: The protagonists are Louise and Saito. Louise is a noble and her pride always comes first than everything. In the beginning, she appears to be an arrogant, envious and stubborn person. However, in reality she is very soft and gentle and always do what is possible to help her friends or her country. Because of her incapability to use magic of the four elements (fire, water, earth and wind) she started to be bullied by hers classmates and her family started to see her as a disgrace. Making she became someone lonely and sad. With the story's progress is revealed that Louise are able to use a different element of magic, which hide a power beyond the others four elements. Hiraga Saito is a student, who was summoned by Louise to a parallel world. He's a curious boy, hate wars and he would die protecting the ones he love without thinking twice. Saito is very emotional, when he kills someone (even if it is a globin) his hands starts shaking (not shaking, because he is afraid. He is against murder), if his friends die, this would destroy his heart. He is against wars and doesn't want to kill anything. He only fights to defende himself or someone. When Saito was summoned by Louise, he got the power of Gandálfr and with this power he is capable to use any type of weapon just touching it. Both Saito and Louise also have cliches caracteristics, for example, Saito is very perverted sometimes (as all others ecchi story characters) and Louise is a tsundere. Despite of this, I liked they very much.

Art: The art is cute and pretty. Unfortunately, It is simple.

Enjoyment: When I was reading this novel I laughted a lot and found a ton of enterteniment and fun.

Overall: Zero No Tsukaima is a good novel with good characters and an interesting story. The characters' relationship development is great and the romance is sweet. I would recommend this novel if you want to read a good fantasy romance with comedy.
