A story with so much promise it fills me with regret every time I remember its beginning and rage when I remember its ending.
I really enjoyed about 90% of the story. The art is good; it never felt awkward or lacking; nor did it impress me though.

Its not the kind of story you can read without caring about one way or another.
It made my heart race with anxiety, anger, despair

The main character, despite being a girl somehow is one of the "knights" like the guys and isn't classed as a weapon. So she jumps in all SUPER GENGKI and saves the day by saving all the girls ...

Story (3): It has a somewhat good premise going on, but it reminds me to much of other mangas like Soul Eater with the girls turning into weapons and the masters being the boys. It's a girl battling against sexism and bias in a school where girls are seen as nothing as tools, sounds like some feminist ideology to be honest, and that's not why I'm giving it such a low score.
