Customer Reviews

lovely art style and good plot line

This is a one-shot manga that has a very soft nice art style (and a great cover :]) and has a great plot line concept that could go very far...unfortunately it doesn't...that's the only down side, it is a one-shot and has no definite conclusion. Similar to 'mugen spiral' you just want so much more =^^= i would still recommend it for a short good read for any age i believe. -- The manga is about two kids who are magically gifted. There are two ways to be gifted with magic in the world-on your own with both yin-yang or with a jem called a obsidian with just one of the yin-yang. The plot goes through the two's challenges of being wizards with the disadvantage of using an obsidian.

Haridama, magic Cram School gets passing grade

The story of Kokuyo and Hakira is entertaining. Someone always looks down at them because they are Obsidian wizards. Together, they must rely on their collective strength to dig deep and discover that true power comes from within, not based on externals. This is one of the most unique takes on manga that I have seen for some time. Enjoy it at your leisure. Atsuchi Suzumi is wonderfully talented! www.delraymanga.com
