Synopsis

Eighteen years ago, during the Seitei War, Kunishige Rokuhira was the most renowned man in Japan. As a master swordsmith, he forged six enchanted blades, each imbued with a special power that secured the nation's victory. After the war, Kunishige retired to the mountains with his son, Chihiro, who began diligently learning the craft. Nearing his 15th birthday, the level-headed Chihiro resolved to one day succeed his father. However, his plans were derailed when he witnessed a group of powerful sorcerers kill his father and steal the sacred blades.

Three years after the incident, Chihiro lives on with hatred in his heart and an intense desire for revenge. Wielding the Enten, the seventh and final enchanted blade Kunishige created in secret, Chihiro cuts down evildoers associated with the Hishaku—the organization he believes to be responsible for his father's death. Chihiro has yet to unlock the Enten's full potential or perfect his swordsmanship, but he will stop at nothing to retrieve the stolen katanas, avenge his father, and honor the legacy he left behind.

This manga restored my hope in battle shounen, especially one being serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump.

What can I say? MC is interesting and easy to root for, characters and motivations are well-written across the board, there are solid familial themes that resonate among many characters, imaginative plays that upturn battles... all without making you feel like the worldbuilding is lacking and can't keep up with the plot like many other popular urban fantasy manga (Chainsaw man, Tokyo Ghoul are my prime bad examples).

An issue that is important to me is the portrayal of female characters, and this did not disappoint. They are relevant to the ...

It's just average. Not amazing but definitely has elements that are below average. Functionally it's one of those manga's where the fights end up with people staring at each other monologuing (internal and external) about whatever until someone does something and someone gets one-shot. The pacing is both extremely fast and slow at the same time which is a feat in itself. Getting you as fast as possible to the next fight but then dragging it out by having flashbacks to just a little bit of what happened inbetween fights... but not enough to explain much of what's happening beyond how they got into said ...

Manga like this are not just trash, they hurt the entire medium. They make readers and future authors think bad writing and ripping off is fine as long as you get away with sales. It insults the work ethic and creativity of every fellow mangaka who actually put effort in how to write, draw, and tell a story. It’s dangerous for the future of manga because it proves any trash these days can be published because WSJ is in serious lack of talent.

I have always loved revenge stories but Kagurabachi completely ruined that for me. The "revenge" here isn’t even a feeling... it’s just an ...
