Review: Magia the Ninth Vol. 1

Magia the Ninth Vol. 1 by Ichiya Sazanami
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Too fast paced.
Even if is only two volumes long, the pace it makes the plot look convoluted and it doesn't manage to catch the reader's attention to it.

The concept of famous historical composers doing extraordinary things is not a new one. I've seen other stories that are good at using that type of premise but, in this manga, it doesn't work that well.

I know that I'll sound repetitive, but the Solomon and demons card that is used here, would have been a hit if it wasn't the main plot of another, older, ongoing manga that it's already around 12 to 15 vols.

Not everything is bad or cliche, I liked some of the characters, even if some of them need more development.

Sadly, I don't think that I'll be bying the last volume of this story.

The plot thickens, the thirst for revenge, the political struggle and so many things that keeps you on your toes while reading this story.

Review: Devils and Realist, Vol. 11

Devils and Realist, Vol. 11 by Madoka Takadono
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I admit that this vol was a bit confusing, at least for me.
A dear character dies, another one fall into despair and that drives him to create a new contract out of revenge.

Secrets and riddles start to appear once again, revealing that there are more people moving the strings and more things to discover all around.

Thing is, that even though many things were interesting, it looked too fast paced without a moment for the readers to take a breather in order to inmerse ourselves in what I think is a new addition to the current arc segment that is happening at the moment.

Well, let's hope that the next volume gets bit more understating for us mere mortals.
