Hmm, I'm sort of ambivalent to this series? I want to like it, but something about it is just meh for me. MC feels kind of wishy-washy, but gets tagged as a genius of hard work??? He gains the interest of a powerful cat mystic, has random enemies that just hate him because they can't trample him. The art style is a bit rough. I don't know why MC always feels a little dirty? Also, his sleeping and everyday wear is the same. But. he's a noble, supposedly pretty well off, right??
His fire-y redhead friend is more interesting, though she does fall down the line of a tsundere. But she doesn't get a crush (so far) on MC, so that's awesome! Seems to be a genuine friendship. Also the arrogant blue haired noble actually had character development. I'm cheering on his relationship with the redhead. I really hope they have a romantic plotline in the future lol.
The white haired girl that I think is going to be the FL is okay. She's OP and I don't get how her brother's story made her super stubborn about her family's style of sword, but then after a chat (?) with the other kids, all of a sudden she's gungho about her family style again. But when she was speaking with the swordsmaster, she was totally stubborn about not using her family style. What in the world??
Now MC is agonizing over his own sword style/why he wants to continue learning swordsmanship, because he feels like he's just copying (future him)'s sword style and doesn't have his own. =3= UGH.
