Synopsis

Hunted, enslaved, and killed—such is the terrible fate that befalls the members of the Black Cats tribe. Twelve-year-old Fran, a girl of the persecuted race, craves revenge for the atrocities committed against her people. She dreams of a brighter future, one for which she will not hesitate to get her hands dirty. An encounter with a talking sword, a reincarnated man looking for a beautiful wielder, turns out to be the deciding moment that will change her fate.

With the help of her new comrade, the young Fran plans to reclaim the pride and honor of her kin, slashing down all her enemies along the way. With an unshakable resolve, she embarks on a journey with her miraculous sword.

This will be a short review. As many types of this manga, it is based on a Light Novel.

This manga has great art, serviceable story, lovable main characters and good humor. The story isn't bad but has tons of potential. The art is great and is one of the things I like very much from this manga. I want to emphasize in the humour this manga has. It doesn't have your slapstick humor or funny-haha humour, but more of a funny, warm-hearted humor.

Give it a chance if you're still not tired of the "transported into another world" or "reincarnated into another world" type of manga/story.

As someone who has read both the web novel and the manga, the manga is definitely a giant step up in all areas.

Our main characters are Master, the man who was reincarnated as a sword who guides Fran, the cat girl who is trying to accomplish a certain goal in life that I can't spoil.
The characters are more fleshed out and likable, fight scenes are way cooler and have a sense of "je ne sais quoi", skills and abilities are interesting, the whole shebang. I definitely recommend ...
