Summary
In 2021, Harry Makito, a genius magician, was holding a one time only retirement show in Tokyo when he burned to death in an unexpected accident. He was 17 years old, or so one would think. But he lived, finding himself reincarnated 400 years earlier in Medieval Europe during the age of the witch trials! Now he fights against the church which unjustly brands women as witches with his tricks disguised as miracles. It's like real magic!

Majo ni Sasageru Trick review
This is a manga about magician. Not the RPG magic using mana etc, but the magic trick you see in TV shows using deception and illusion.
The main selling point of the manga is the magic tricks. It draw the reader's curiosity how the MC will pull out his acts. The method used in the tricks are well explained, so the author really did their research. How the author execute the visual is also did a good job. The downside is the plot and the character. As I mentioned, the selling point is the magic. Not the story. The story so far (chap 10) is the MC still succeeding in everything he does. The character also too bland. The MC still a gary stu whose plans and tricks always work. His only special trait is his chocolate addiction and his love to magic, that alone isn't enough to make 'human personality'. Because many real life magician use lots of women assistant, so does the MC. The side girl character also hasn't show enough personality and purpose other than being the MC's side kicks. And the church antagonist is the worst. Too template-ish. They are the church so the author expect us to just accept that they hate magic. They are just pure evil (radical, murderous, lecherous, etc), so we'll just hate them. We just want them to be removed from the story as soon as possible because they are too repulsive. So far no back story, no justification etc which should make even the worst bad guy is loveable and readers will eager to see how they act. You don't need the antagonist to be a degenerate. 2 faction fighting with conflicting interest with both has their reason. 1 is the protag and the other is the antag is better than just making the protag is gud while the antag is an evil degenerate. |
