Type: Manga
Status: Ongoing
Premise: Four Years ago a disaster of titanic proportions claimed 2 million lives in the streets of Tokyo, only 2 people survived the apocalyptic event including those rescue workers who went in afterwards to aid any survivors; a young boy named Morisaki Harumi and a female rescue worker who pulled him from the rubble without his memories. Now his past is coming back to haunt him, when a car runs him off the road and two men wielding katana fight to the death he grabs the closest thing on hand a third katana; her name is Mana and she is the spirit of a young girl who died 300 years ago.
Thoughts: Another good sword story, there is enough new material in this story to make it rather distinkt; be it the people trapped in swords (not sure if they need to be female, but they have been so far) or the century spanning plot devices this manga comes across as classical in its execution if not it's ideas.
Prose: A comfortable story, not overly complicated in its premise it still retains a sense of uniqueness.
Cons: There is nothing ground breaking to this story, the plot is linear in its progression and while not predictable it is not that complicated either.
-Notes: Yay swords?
8/10 (You know your in an anime when swords starts talking to you.)
