This manga has always been full of fanservice. When I first read it with only a few chapters I thought it would be third rate like all the other mangas that saturated the genre.
But I was wrong.
If you just cast out and disregard the art and fan service (you'll get used to it), it is a really good manga. The plot is insane and the character development and depth is immaculate. The execution is very well done.
I cried finding out Jade's death (and many times whenever he's mentioned after), I cried again with Gitane's backstory, and cried again with Tartaros' ending. I cried many times reading this (practically bawling).
Most of all is Llyod, at first I thought he's just the typical op mc that solo's everything and takes everything as a joke. He isn't, his character has so much depth if you just think about it. He takes everything lightly and is quite detached because he's literally like a god among men, he's so powerful that just finding something interesting is hard enough. But what makes him endearing is that he is, at the end of the day, human.
My heart feels heavy (and I get a little teary damn it) whenever I think about how he never denied that he's responsible for Jade's death. HE killed Jade no matter what angle you look at. That's why he never denied it. He's RESPONSIBLE. Then once again with Tartaros, he almost forced Llyod to take responsibility for his death. Once again, Llyod is responsible for their death. And he carries it with him, you can always tell whenever he gets serious. Poor Llyod
With great power, comes great responsibility indeed. The comic relief episodes are barely sufficient to alleviate the mood lol (at least their chibi versions are so cute).
