Art: 7/10

I not really can say anything about it. It looks good and the characters are well drew too. Fighting scenes are a bit messy but not the worst.

Character: 7/10

We not really know anything about the characters expect for Kyle. He was a very lazy kid but since he time traveled he became a very hard-working one.

His childhood friend Seran acts like an idiot who always aims for his owns good, but in the end he is very serious man and a very strong fighter who appears only in every 1000 years.

There are some supporting character but we not know anything about them maybe Rize who is in love with Kyle.

Enjoyment: 8/10

It is a really short story and it's still unfinished but if you are really bored you can have some fun while reading it.

Overall: 8/10

In my opinion it's a good story, but there are better ones. You can have some fun with it but it's too short and unfinished. Still i enjoyed it and i am looking forward for the next chapters!

I hope you liked my review and send me your thoughts about it! :)

After reading 43 chapters my conclusion is as follows: The manga is a middle of the road shonen action-adventure fantasy, however, it is rather competently handled, I would give it a solid 7.

The first chapter starts off interesting. I appreciated that when the manga tried to garner sympathy for the main hero, it didn't go for the usual overblown drama and tragedy. The first chapter had a somber, melancholic tone as the fatally wounded main character was stumbling through the ashes of the battlefield in a world that became a ruin, while he was reminiscing about his life and about the decisions that lead ... him there. However, the story is not really about that, the more sorrowful tone is quickly gone. Instead, the plot becomes a generic action-adventure story, because the MC decides to become a hero, to alter history, and he needs heroic acts to do so. However, the story is not really about that either, because it dwells into fantasy politics quickly, which seems to be the current direction of the story. While it's nothing new, the fantasy politics is competently handled and is an entertaining read.

The characters are a mixed bag, the story focuses more on the males of the main party, Kail and Seran. Kail, our MC, is fine, rather generic, but nothing particularly problematic. Seran is the one that seems to get the spotlight, he is the one we learn about the most, and he is the only really interesting character of the story. The problems start with the females, who are so bland, that despite the fact that I just finished reading the manga, I already can't remember their names. They were both love interest of the MC, but wherein they died one after another in the previous timeline, here they are both alive and well, so we get a love triangle right off the bat. Thankfully the story forgets about that for the most part, unfortunately, it also completely forgets about their characters, their combat abilities gets a little fleshed out, but not their personality. Even the side characters were more memorable than the women of the main party. Because of that, the only meaningful character interactions we get are the ones between Kail and Seran. The characters are overall not the strongest point of the manga.

All in all Tsuyokute New Saga is a rather generic fantasy story, which may not offer much, but what it does, handles fairly well. Some of the characters, however, really needs some fleshing out. I would give the manga a solid 7.

The hero travels back in time to save the world from the demon king. The premise is cliche, but there are lots of reasons to like this manga.

For starters, there's a proper plot and it's moving along at a good pace. No time is wasted on filler or tedious training sequences. The hero understands that rather than simply becoming stronger himself, he needs to build up influence over the humans' numerous kingdoms and get them to prepare for the upcoming war.

While armed with future knowledge, the hero is making his moves much earlier in the timeline, so he is often as surprised as the ... reader is. There are some subversions of expectations (like with the attempted assassination on the princess) that are really fun to read. He also eventually learns more about demons and their internal factions than in his first life, showing that things aren't as simple as he thought.

Enemies are usually handled ruthlessly, which makes sense given that he hero is a war veteran inside a younger body, but once again isn't something I expected to see in a manga like this. The party aren't beyond trickery and assassination either. This is not treated in an edgy, self-satisfied way, but like the necessity it it.

If I had any complaints, it's that the two female members of the party didn't get any spotlight after their recruitment. They're kind of... just there. In contrast, the hero's male friend is well-developed and in my opinion more interesting than the hero himself, so there's that.

This is a great manga.
The protagonist is very interesting due to the fact that he is someone who is cold to achieve his goals. Although, fortunately, he is not the type of psychopath who makes a face, so it is very cool to see the character commit actions that he finds objectionable, but he understands that he needs to do this in order to fulfill his goals.

The supporting cast of the protagonist is cool too. They are very charismatic, in addition to having their moments of solo fighting very cool. By the way, the romantic partners of the MC are defined from the beginning with ... the right kiss scene, so there won't be that annoying harem that only fills sausage in fantasy history.

The story is pretty cool too. The arches tend to be very different with characters and cities with their own geographic style and with custom, this is really cool because it has that feeling of adventure and seeing something always new. In addition, there are certain mysteries and struggles that are very exciting because the author builds both very well.

Art is the most weak part of the manga, it is not ugly or beautiful. Anyway, it's worth giving the manga a chance.
