/ Fantasy / Mage's Sign X
Synopsis
In a seemingly normal world , there are those who are endowed with certain skills , both physical and psychologically. This is the result of years of human evolution , and there is much evidence to support that fact. Using their knowledge of the Earth and spiritual energy in the Middle Ages, humans created their own magic , becoming the first self-proclaimed “ mages”. But there are some in the world who believe that these abilities are the result of either God or Satan- therefore they are imperfect. For this reason , there is a mass hunt for people of magical heritage , and having abilities is punishable by death. Genetic development to counter them has taken place since World War I. This allowed them to be kept in camps until WW2 , when they rebelled against the chaos. However , the mages failed and were sent into hiding. People who possess them must stay secret from the public , but there are still underground networks to ensure that they remain alive. In 2020 , 13 year old Mitsuya Nieto and his eleven year old sister Kaoru are adopted by the rich former student of his mother after she is murdered. From here on out , he begins a path of revenge with his allies - shadow manipulator Casanova , spirit prodigy Julianna and sword wielding Keiko. Their first objective - infiltrate the Mage Academy.
This is a manga/ anime concept that I wrote for a competition with my classmates. We typically like to watch a lot of anime , so I wanted to make something that borrowed from the many different anime that I watched. In this story I hope to incorporate tropes and storylines from my 15 favorite series while trying to add originality . These include Fate , Code Geass , Yu Yu Hakusho , Soul Eater , Bleach , SDS and more. I will try my best to make it interesting. I hope to make enough money to produce a comic of this someday. But until then , I hope you enjoy !!!

The story is written fairly well and the world building is pretty good. I like Mitsuya as a character and I cant wait to see how he develops. I like the mystery that been building and the relationships are developed each chapter. Every character feels like they fit this world perfectly in there own way. Other than a few characters that feel worse than over this is an amazing story that I would love to see more of
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm →_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→→_→ I have nothing much to say. It's just that good.i was actually a review swap for like, i don't know, a month ago???? But wow this is good well done.
Hello! I came from the review swap but your synopsis drew me in. The beginning drew me in and I like the quality of the writing very much! Keep writing because you have potential!!
An ambitious endeavor, only time will tell if it's going to pay off. Grammar is fairly good, with the unnecessary spacing in punctuation marks being the only gripe that I have in terms of sentence construction. Prose is kinda lacking to my taste, with dialogue dominating some gigantic text blocks that should be broken up to smaller chunks. Dialogue needs to have at least a bit more description attached to them to give more life to the characters, like actions, habits or tone. Also, past tense is the standard for story telling. Present tense can be a bit unwieldly in terms of building prose. All in all, a remarkable effort. Keep on writing 👍
I see where you are going but I didn't like it. You should some light novels of your favorite animes to understand the transformation that goes from text to animation. It just didn't feel right reading it. I don't know how to really describe that to you. I've read a lot of light novels and watched the animes they tell stories differently. You got a concept and that's half the battle writing. Good luck!
I'm the author so of course I would shamelessly give myself a review. I didn't give myself 5 stars because I have acknowledged that not everything in the story is as good as it can be , but I'm working on improving things such as stability of uploads and character designs.
The story is actually surprisingly very good and even well written, the only thing that is meh is that their are a few typos here and there but nothing to serious and they are made up for by the story itself being fantastic.
