fast-paced

3.75

Well that was an expected ending, but a little too abrupt. I was hoping for more after the final battle. Even the bonus story doesn't cover what we're all hoping to know like
"Who does Nyozeka reincarnate as?"
Oh well, it was still a good series that I intend on keeping in my collection.

I really like this series in general, and while there's some older tropes and ideas that fall a little flat now, I think that a lot of people could learn a thing or two from the series. About the power of words and intentions, and overcoming your own negative thoughts. Definitely a series I would keep rereading.

I really enjoyed this manga and own the entire set. I would love to see this and any of Yuu Watase's manga get transformed to anime. I would watch them in a heart beat while sitting on the edge on my seat.

I really enjoyed rereading this series. I still really enjoy the overall themes in the story, about light and darkness, and the power of your words but also forgiveness and being able to grow from your mistakes.
I also love the art so much and love the covers and the title font and just in general the appearance of the series.
I also enjoy that this entire series is only 7 books, so it doesn't go on and on for forever, but is nicely contained within 7 volumes. Not that I don't like longer series, but the cost of each volume can really add up.

I didn’t think I’d love this series as much as I do. It made me go through all the emotions, laugh, cry, feel happy. 

I’m so happy to have gotten into this manga series.
