I absolutely LOVE the art! They look fantastic! And the character design is great! What they're wearing, the details!
And i love how it's not ecchi, harem or romance. Just the story of the guy getting his beloved weapon upgraded (at least for him it's the main goal I guess xD)
I want more more more! While waiting going to check out the anime (didn't realize it was *this* one. I skipped it when it came out because at first it didn't sound all that interesting. But now i just NEED to watch it!)
I really look forward when Hiiro and the 4 Heroes meet each other again.
The Heroes won't stand a chance. They are like dogs, raised by hand in a cage. They maybe they know how to fight but they don't know how to *fight*. They trained with their teachers, people better than them who will fight them in mock battles but never in earnest. And the battles they do in the "open world" aren't dangerous or are overseen by someone who would step in and rescue them.
Meanwhile Hiiro is like a wolf. Raised by survival alone. If he didn't fight for his life he would be dead in a second. He learns while moving. He gets allies from all over the world because they like *him* and not because he's a *hero* He teaches himself different ways of survival (and the survival of his comrades) If he stands before an opponent much stronger than him he wouldn't chicken out like the Heroes robably would (since they never fought against a fow which can easily kill them in one swift strike) but he would sharp his claws and snarl and would attack because this is what he always does in such a situation.
tltr; Hiiro is a wolf experienced in battle for survival, the Heroes are dogs raised like pets only experienced in mock battles and "sure wins" (or battles where they know they will be rescued if it's getting dangerous)
And this is why Hiiro will always be better than them in every way. And I just want to see their faces when they meet him again and see how much stronger than them he is (and probably the (very reluctant) leader of a coalition between all four kin-types)
I wondered why it was confusing sometimes and checked the raws and read those. And it seems that sometimes there are whole pages missing here.
Like in chapter 6, after Shen Yiqiu saw Luo on the roof there is a whole scene missing explaining that he goes to the ancestral halls to show to Luo that Shen Gu really died. Which would explain the "third bow to brother" scene right after.
Other chapters probably have missing pages, too. I don't know where this translatio is from and if the original website had those pages missing already or if the one who uploaded here just forgot to add them.
But with missing pages, of course it is hard to grab the story. I wonder how much is missing after all. Will continue to read the raws for now from the beginning.
