4.5 stars

So the premise of this is intriguing. The art is great. But I think I am going to need a few more volumes before we have enough character development for me to be completely hooked.

Will definitely read more.

Thank you to netgalley for sending me this manga for review. This manga read very young, I couldn't connect to the main character however it could be great for younger readers.

It's a nice concept but could use some refining, I didn't quite gel with the art style to be completely honest. The story itself.. it read a little young whilst also not being all that clear. This dove in a little to quickly at the start and we were kind of expected to keep up. Shame, it is a really cool concept but unfortunately just not for me.

It's not bad for a first book. I was confused because I thought Yan was the main character, but it turns out that Tohru is the main lead. The beginning seemed a bit rushed with how Yan and Tour met. I liked the idea of the spell beasts being sealed by books, but I felt that it could have been articulated better. It looked like the sealing department needs to constantly carry books around when going into battle. I do like the PR department so far. I am interested in seeing what happens in the second volume.

Not for me, I usually like shonen manga (see Demon Slayer, Witch Hate Atelier and others), but this reads too young.
I could forgo it if the drawings were amazing, but I find them just fine, not the target for it.
