Synopsis

One year ago, Aika Fuwa and her parents were murdered under mysterious circumstances. Swearing vengeance on her killers, Aika's older brother, Mahiro, sets out to determine who ended her life prematurely. Unbeknownst to Mahiro, his childhood friend and Aika's secret longtime boyfriend, Yoshino Takigawa, ends up getting dragged into the investigation after being held at gunpoint by a strange woman. Yoshino learns that Mahiro is being investigated by the government after outbreaks of a mysterious "iron sickness" in two locations where he was previously seen. Now on the run, Mahiro and Yoshino's search for Aika's killers becomes harder and more dangerous.

In an effort to find a lead on his sister's murder, Mahiro strikes a deal with Hakaze Kusaribe, the most powerful sorceress in the world who is imprisoned on a deserted island. As princess and leader of the Kusaribe Clan, Hakaze promises to aid Mahiro's investigation if he can rescue her from internment. Once free, Hakaze intends to put a stop to the revival of the "Tree of Exodus" and save the world from eventual ruin. Believing that Hakaze will get in the way of his resurrection plans, Samon Kusaribe, Hakaze's former aide, had orchestrated her banishment and also removed her ability to use magic on the island.

In a desperate attempt to save the world from the effects of the "Trees of Exodus and Genesis," Mahiro and Yoshino inch closer to the truth behind Aika's death. The two find that there might be more to her murder than they initially thought as the world around them falls into chaos.

"Finis autem aliquis ratione principii" - If there's a beginning, then logically, there's an ending. (Correct me if I'm wrong. My latin is rusted as a mummy.)

The Apocalypse is one of my favorite books from the Holy Bible. There's something so enticing and exciting about the world ending. It raises many questions such as: What am I going to do? How much time do I have left? And the people whom I love, what about them? And many, many others.
Zetsuen no Tempest (or Blast of Tempest/the Civilization Blaster if you prefer) is about the world ending, vengence, and many other stuff that I'm not afraid read more

Blast of Tempest is one of my favorite dark fantasy mangas I've read. It had many incredible moments, well-balanced cast of characters, and great visuals to accompany it. That being said, the manga is still long ways off from being a true masterpiece.

The story of this manga can be described as a tale of two halves. The first half of the story was REALLY GOOD AND INTENSE I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH ABOUT THIS. Meanwhile, the second half was kind of too mellowed down and has too slow of a pacing. It didn't damage the manga quality too much, but it did dampen the potential that read more

Preliminary

Another great work from the author who made spiral.Zetsuen no tempest is another great battle of the brains manga with two ridiculously smart main characters a dead girl and a stranded girl in a shakespearian play.Yes I know it sounds weird and I can't say much without spoiling anything but the manga is great.You will also see many shakespeare references mostly from Hamlet.Art is great,characters too pretty,and decent story so far.Overall if you enjoyed spiral,death note,case closed or any other mystery manga you'll definitely enjoy this

Preliminary

What to say, what to say, really its hard to describe this manga. I am glad I picked up on it just this very day when looking up manga BONES(creators of Eureka 7, Eureka 7 AO, and Wolf's Rain) was adapting into a anime series. I think the anime can turn out really good, as BONES good at its adaption(for all of the ones I've seen). It had some magic fights, but also has mind battles. Well back to the review!

Story:
The story is great(9/10) the story has that kind of touch that really hits you in the chest. In this world there are 2 trees that have the power to bestoy magic, "Tree of Beginning",which gifts magic for protecting the world's law the it set and "Tree of Zetsuden", a tree that gifts magic for destruction for breaking the laws. One or the other will awaken and bring a whole new world to being, either good or bad. A main character ,Yoshino, a boy out for revenge for his step-sister's and his parent's murder, who found a magic wooden figure that allowed him to talk to the main heroine, Hazake. Hazake is the princess of the Kusaribe Clan, to gifted magic by the "Tree of Beginnings" to protect, and keep an eye on the "Tree of Zetsuden", betray the "Tree of Beginnings" and plan to resurrect the "Tree of Zetsuden", cast away their princess, Hazake, on a deserted island, where high level magic is impossible, to make sure she doesn't stop them and resurrect the "Tree of Beginnings", as she is fated to do so. 2 years later, a year after Yoshino's family's death, Yoshino makes contact with her with a talisman she made in hopes of stopping her older brother. Along the way, remakes contact with Mashiro, his friend and secret boyfriend of his sister, who gets absorbed in this epidemic. This is the first arc(in opinion) it is currently in its 2nd.

Art:
The art is well done, great(9/10) as MAL says, each character has a good design, which shows almost no fatal flaws in remaking it for other scenes, and those badass scenes, may not give too great of detail, whats written there completely changes it. The most detailed pieces in opinion are during magic fights(again opinion), there is a good deal of detailed pieces as well for turning points in the mind battles.

Character:
The characters are great(9/10) as well! There are the 2 main male leads, who are too fucking badass for words!(opinion) Mashiro, is 1st one introduced to us looking for his friend and lover to his sister, he is always calm and collected and takes most of the mind battles though he is able to take quite a bit of combat quite well like the other, Yoshino. He is the one I think is more badass(opinion again), he is out for revenge for his family's murder which all is related to the story, he is also the one who takes out all reasoning for his revenge he will cross anyone in his way and is more fluid in combat, due to his personality before and after gives, in the mind battles he can think as quite good, but not as good as Mashiro, they make the PERFECT(opinion) duo, one can take mind battles, the other does all fighting, though they don't have a "buds for ever" connection, its close enough to make them trust each other more than others, but the one who keeps their teamwork in check is none other than the main heroine, Hazake. Hazake is the reason they got all in to this mess, they became the her troops to do as she needed to get off a deserted island, she also gifted them with magic to help them, but only so much. She also is the main heroine, she is not as badass, but keeps herself up there. With her gifting them the strength to go up to par with their enemies, the 3 can fight together, Mashiro can think up a perfect plan as they go, Yoshino dishing out the most 1 hit damage, while Hazake dishes out more rapid attacks, but also fuels them.

Enjoyment:
All this makes its outstanding(10/10). You get a real touch for the characters, though I got lost in the story at times, you can easily figure things out along the way as well. this manga won't disappoint its like Death Note plus magic and BADASSARY!

Overall:
9/10
why, more 9s than 10, I gotta stay truthful over all. In truth I would give it 10, I LOVED IT, but gotta give it more truth than opinion. The Shakespire references confuses me at times, its great definitely worth reading if you like action, and Death Note.
