Shogo and his party continue their trek up the mountain. At the summit, the dragon that killed his sister awaits. The group's perseverance has earned them a spot on the raid team, but the respect of Randolph, the raid's leader, is another matter entirely. All is silent... and then suddenly, the dragon is upon them. Throwing caution to the wind, the adventurers pelt the creature with arrows, spells, and strikes, but their efforts are in vain. In an instant, the team is decimated. Randolph orders the few who escape the beast's wrath to retreat, but one man remains, standing tall amid the falling snow...
...I think I'm done, the size of the "gag boobs" one of the Magus Sisters has is just...it looks super heckin' WEIRD, and I hate it. The story isn't good enough for me to want to put up with it, and I have literally hundreds of other books I need/want to read, so lol byeeeee~
Shogo continue avec son groupe d'aventurer la traque du dragon qui a tué sa soeur. Mais le groupe est-il de taille face à une telle menace ?
Un deuxième tome sympathique. Toujours sans être exceptionnel, le fan en moi lit sans déplaisir cette série. Evidemment on est loin d'autres mangas beaucoup plus prenants mais cela reste une lecture correcte.
J'ai particulièrement apprécié la tournure que prennent les références aux autres épisodes de Final Fantasy dans ce tome. J'ai l'impression que ce tome est par exemple particulièrement tourné vers Final Fantasy IV, comme par exemple avec l'affrontement contre le dragon qui est du même style qu'un boss dudit jeu, ce qui sert à notre héros. C'est du fan service pur et dur, mais, je ne vais pas mentir, c'est aussi un peu pour ça qu'on achète ce type de manga je pense plutôt que pour son scénario.
I loved playing the final fantasy games growing up and reading this story now just feels like heaven and brings me so much nostalgia. I love how there is an element from every final fantasy game that there has been. I am loving this story and I can say that this will probably be one of my favourite manga series.
I love the recurring elements of final fantasy. This series digs deep into the franchise and its elements, and I always get a warm feeling in my chest when Shogo finds a new element of FF that can save his hide :)
And yet, nothing in the story is predictable, and it doesn't feel old or cliched in the slightest. Shogo's adventure is unique, and I really want to see what happens next n.n
Literally I was the Leo DiCaprio pointing at the screen meme when shogo brought up kain and Cecil as to how to beat the mist dragon. I was losing it. Docking a lot of points for the "outfits" the magus sisters wear!
From what I can tell, this is a pretty standard isekai with Final Fantasy flavor tossed in. So if you read a lot of isekai this probably isn't anything new.
That said, I like it. It's pretty charming even if the hero's FF knowledge is used to justify some odd leaps of logic, even though he fails to make simpler leaps based on his series knowledge.
(Like coming to the conclusion Sarah's missing cat is a gaelicat, but failing to figure out Sarah is probably *Princess* Sarah, a recurring series figure similar to Cid. Or making the weird and dangerous assumption the cat can and will use levitation to save itself and Sarah when he pushes her off a clock tower to get her away from the Magus sisters.)
The art's nice.
Sharuru is adorable. I hope Duston and the warrior lady, who's name escapes me though she *clearly* has a crush on Sharuru, get more development. The hero isn't a total piece of shit, just kind of dumb and reckless.
Disappointed the hero's sister got fridged in the first volume, but she was sweet while she was there.
So yeah, I think I'll continue a bit longer.
(Also, Duston is cute. I want more of him in the spotlight to feed my growing crush. Yes.)
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I am loving this series so far. It's just the right amount of nostalgia and straight Final Fantasy knowledge with a good balance of new stuff to keep you really on your toes.
I thought this one would feel weird because of where the first part ended, but the ending was also very cliffhanger ish, and I'm still committed to continuing this series.
Our heroes face off with the dragon, with some quick thinking from Shogo helping win the day, before heading to Mysidia and running afoul of the Magus Sisters.
My overriding thought for this volume was, unfortunately, 'why are her boobs so big?' Like, everyone else is vaguely normal proportions for a manga and then BAM, boobs. Just. Completely took me out.
Continuación del tomo 1, pensando que todo está perdido, la esperanza empieza a aflorar en el corazón de nuestro protagonista. Se enfrentarán a un dragón y todo se volverá mucho más peligroso e intenso. Me encantó cómo la historia continúa sin perder ese enganche.
