Ah, if there was a thing I really love it is certainly reviewing new mangas, as I think rarely anyone talks about which makes it harder for you to decide if you would like to read a certain manga or not.

Yet I also understand that this is a new manga with a little amount of chapters, so I hope you understand that this is only an early review of the 7 first chapters.

SOME SPOILERS !

The story, in sumery, is something similar to My Hero Academia with the Heroes being the villains this time, and the anti-heroes being the good guys.
The MC is a ... useless mob while his twin is a strong hero, somethings happen and now the MC has super powers but is also an enemy of the heroes.

If I had to describe my feeling whilst reading this manga, it'd be a mixture of boredom and medium enjoyment.

The story is so typical with it's pacing and characters, some examples can be:

1- Having the MC be the typical shounen guy whose nice and brave and is willing to sacrifice himself in order to save others.

2- Having the MC's reason of fighting be to protect his cute childhood friend.

3- Having a group of Anti-heroes which conveniently appeared out of nowhere when the MC became an enemy of the Heroes (Would've been nicer if they hinted to us about such a group existing).

4- Having his first interaction with them be a test that seems easy but is actually more complicated.

5- Having the MC pass the test without realizing that himself, as he was only thinking of how weak he was and how he has never changed.

6- Having the MC's power work or not work whenever it convenient for the plot.

7- Having the MC paired as duo with another character who he isn't that much friendly with but I'm guessing they'll work together as a real duo once they realize they need each others strength.

And these are all things that happened only in the first 7 chapters.

With that said, there are also good aspects in the story (Not that what I mentioned was bad, it's just way too generic) like the art which becomes amazing and gory at the fights, and the idea the story presents which I liked best about a person choosing what they identify as evil.

My final thoughts about this are, it's not bad but not amazing. Wondering even if I should call it good.
It's a story that is typical but can be enjoyable at times, especially if you want something to read without using your brain.

It certainly is way better than other similar stories I've reviewed before (ahm..ahm...Orient...) but it's not special by any means.

Anti Hero

Reading this manga at first will make you feel weird because of the new concept it got, for some people maybe will need adapt to it's pace and concept.

Art: yes this is what shonen action art is. The pose are great, the prespective are what you are looking for in shonen action. The art is just awesome.

Story: the story cant be judge on chapter 10 or below. Story got more better with it's chapter, more reveal about their enviroment, situation, politics, corruption, organizational structures, and others.

Writing: just what you are hope from shonen action. There is rival, unreveal past, unknown leader, future forecast, and ... others, this will make more hype for the next chapters.

Character: a little bit annoying for a character that have superhero syndrome, but this make the story better, a fair trade off. Rival also match with MC annoying traits.

If you are looking for anti hero, you come to right place, go read this. This manga is just your usual shonen action manga.
