Blade Dance takes place in a fantasy-like world where spirits and Elementalists live. The MC of this, Kamito, is a special man that can tame spirits. He meets a naked girl, Claire Rouge, in a forest and almost gets whipped repeatedly with a fire whip. Figures, he was commenting on her panties and how flat her chest it. Black is too early for you! Anyways, the girl is trying to get another powerful spirit along with her black fire cat called Scarlet. After she fails to tame a sealed sword, Kamito gets in the way and tames it. Since Claire wanted the sword really badly, she wants Kamito as her own manservant. Women all think that they're greater than men, right? Girl logic. As the story progresses, new characters are introduced, like Ellis who pretty much half hates Kamito, Est, the sword spirit who doesn't have any idea about society, Greyworth, a slightly perverted witch, and Rinslet, a cold girl who's a rival to Claire, including trying to make Kamito her servant. FUCK GIRL LOGIC!
The art inside the novels was pretty average, maybe slightly above, compared to other light novels. Not many special things there.
There were a bunch of characters here with different personalities. Ellis, a tsundere with (maybe) feelings for Kamito, the big-breasted maid, who's clumsy and doesn't like too much violence, Grayworth, a slightly cold witch who likes to blackmail, and Claire, another tsundere with feelings for Kamito. Overall, it was varied and it worked with the story.
I enjoyed this anime. Right when I thought Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai was damn great, this novel shoved it to the side and was like, "Read me, bitch." I gave it a try, and damn was it good. Enjoyed it as much as Machine-Doll, as in a 10/10.
Overall, this was a really entertaining light novel. A few jokes, nude scenes, action, yeah. Pretty much sums up into a great light novel. Thank you Japan for light novels, because I get bored after reading 200 American novels in my lifetime.
