It’s very intriguing, a shounen title using a card game as a base. I’m someone who usually takes things at a face level so it’s not simple to share good points or bad points about this series. What drawn me to this manga was an unique starting point that I haven’t seen much, but as I read more into it I started to enjoy how the story was directing how the author doesn’t just make it so the mc win’s every time when every main battle was introduced. The mc loses because he’s still green behind the ears and I believe the manga shows it ... to great effect. The character development was a miss on my part because while the mc improves, his rivals also improve and the chances of the mc beating them shifts quite from one round to the next.

Overall, in my opinion this manga was enjoyable to read, while mal labels it as a shounen you can see the romance elements which was a fresh breather every now and then.

Goodness. Wow. This manga is incredible. I have no idea why this series isn’t more well-known. A famous author duo writes it! Charming, witty, so adorable, legitimately tense and interesting, it has it all!
It feels like a combination of an adorable romance and Yu-Gi-Oh in the best way possible. A love letter to the late ‘90s and to MTG. As a person who never grew up in the ‘90s nor ever played MTG, I adore this manga. It really does make you fall in love with its characters and its story.
I really hope this series can be translated someday. It deserves to be more ... well-known in the manga community. It really is that good.

As someone who’s of the younger generation and didn’t even play Magic The Gathering back then, I didn’t expect to like this manga so much. I’m sure if I did experience similar events and played Magic as well, then I’d probably even consider this as a 10/10.

However. despite me not being able to directly relate to many of the events in the story. I still felt very nostalgic over every single chapter. It just seems to portray this one time in the past so well, with so much love and appreciation that I can't help but feel the same melancholy as the characters might've felt ... looking into the past. It's as if I was transported back into that time and put in the shoes as someone who lived in that time and treasured the moments they made during that time.

It feels like such a 90s nostalgia feelstrip for nerds and otaku at that time. I could even feel it even if I barely knew anything about 90s otaku culture in Japan or even nerd culture anywhere in the world, I didn't live through it after all. And I think it's insane that it's able to make me feel so strongly about a time and generation I didn't even get to experience or interact with much.

The sheer passion and love both the author and characters in these moments just infect you and make you feel the same as they do. It comes through in every page and chapter of this manga and it's absolutely wonderful. If you've ever been passionate about something niche then you can easily relate to this story.

It isn't just a story about Japanese kids in the 90s playing Magic the Gathering. It's a story about otaku, whether they hide it to stay popular or revel in it despite being treated as an outcast. It's a story about how these people come together because of their niche interest and make unforgettable memories with each other because of it. It's about how their love for this niche thing that everyone considers weird and different causes unbreakable bonds to form.

This is Otaku. This is why the culture has survived and flourished for so long despite being so strange and bizarre to outsiders. It's because of the sheer love and passion people had and still have for all things niche. Whether it be Anime, Card Games, Fighting Games, Comics, or even Imageboards. They bring people together and these people eventually grow together with stories of their own to tell, stories of Love, Passion, Redemption, and Friendship. Stories like 'Destroy All of Humanity, It Can't be Regenerated.'
