Synopsis

In the world of magic, there exist deadly irreversible techniques commonly known as spellblades. These sparse and elusive spells, along with their casters, are shrouded in mystery and only their absolute lethality is known to the masses.

Every year, the spring blossom signifies a new intake of students to the prestigious magic school Kimberly. With reactions of awe and bewilderment, a ceremonious parade complete with magical beasts welcomes the newcomers to the institution. Among them is the mysterious Oliver Horn, whose indifference changes to fascination as he notices a peculiar figure—a girl wearing strange attire equipped with a Japanese sword.

From the entrance ceremony onward, Oliver realizes that not all is as it seems at Kimberly, as the emergence of labyrinths, monsters, and other threats endanger the new student body. Nanatsu no Maken ga Shihai suru explores the intertwined fates of two warriors as they uncover the dark truths that lurk within the walls of the academy.

For anyone who does not know about the author, Bokuto Uno. He also wrote Alderamin On The Sky. I have already written a separate review on it, suspecting he is a Gundam fan when the series go into Turn A Gundam in Volume 12. I really enjoyed his writing, such as his plot twists and likeable characters. And therefore, I decided to pick his new work, Reign Of The Seven Spellblades. Before I go deeply into the review, I will share the aftermath of Alderamin ...

Ignore typos..

Story : 5~6

The story here is pretty solid at some parts but otherwise convoluted and boring. We have the whole animal rights vs old school storyline which is quite interesting. Normally I would have found it horrible but some plot twists made it alright. The whole noble vs commoner thing is not approached in a very creative manner but is still solid. The main issue is that they spend 90% of the first two books helping this one girl with all of her problems due to her mindset. Aside from her the mc has the most interesting storyline by far and carries, ...

Very minor spoilers for the first book/first half of the anime, nothing you couldn't see coming thanks to the heavy foreshadowing used in both.


I jumped headfirst into the series after a certain twist while watching the anime, excited to see how the story builds on things from there, but was incredibly disappointed because it just... Doesn't.

Instead, afterwards we get a load of totally not quidditch, cringey magical sex ed and everyone being in love with the main character but no one making a move. That is, when we actually focus on the main characters at all. About half of each book focuses on barely related ...
