Story: It's not really unique. A persevering student finally gains acceptance by a teacher in martial arts that also holds supernatural powers, but is shocked to learn that the teacher dies not long after teaching basic techniques. The student then goes to a school for martial artists (semi-complicated - The school exists to steal traditional martial arts techniques passed down by families in exchange for artificial ki rewarded after winning fights) Pretty much being forced into the school, the main character sets forth to make a name for himself like a typical shounen.

The art is pretty good. Nothing special. The manhwa is full of men with 6 packs and smoking hot ladies. (9)

Characters: This is what gets me. I absolutely love the personality of the main character. If you want to follow the story of a badass character (maybe like Ichigo or Naruto?) who starts off very weak (maybe like Ikki from Air Gear) at first, then this is the manga, er, manhwa for you. His dogged spirit just tricks me out. He acknowledges once that he might get some broken bones and get beaten to a pulp at first, but he will still fight in order to get stronger. Even with his idioticly determined fighting spirit, he still has a sense of humor which makes him a thoroughly enjoyable character for mainstream shounen addicts. (10)

Overall: If you're looking for a deep story or a meaning to life, then this manga is not for you. If you're looking for hot babes, ecchi, or a good romance, this manga is probably not for you. If you're looking for kickass battle scenes, badass characters, and lots of action, then I would full heartedly recommend this. I give this an overall 10.
