Meiyaku no Leviathan

tl;dr: A manga with a story told so badly it's hard to even judge the story itself, though it does have good art. 

There may be a good story somewhere in this manga, but it wasn’t conveyed well in this at all. By that I don’t mean that this is one of those stories where it feels like the story has a lot of potential but the adaptation didn’t do it justice. Rather, I have no clue how good the core story is because it feels like the manga didn’t really tell it at all. Essentially nothing gets fleshed out in this manga in the slightest. The world is lightly explained in the beginning, but only at a superficial level that doesn’t really count as world building, I would say. The mechanics to the combat or magic aren’t explained at all really, and hence any time anything happens it just feels arbitrary. In effect, the plot itself seems completely random too. Sure, there are some cool moments, but the context isn’t developed well enough for them to have any impact. Similarly, there are times that characters seem amusing and likable, but holistically the cast of characters isn’t really developed at all either, and thus overall this likability is in passing with their personalities and such not being memorable at all. Thus, all in all, even for a three volume manga it feels like very little happened and what did happen wasn’t that important, which as an introduction for this sort of manga is makes the entire thing seem pointless. The one thing that was good about the manga was the art though, wherein it got a bit too hectic during action scenes and the style itself was often too busy, but the art quality and character designs were all pretty well done. 

Story: 3
The story is dragons are now on earth and there are certain people who can make contracts with said dragons to defended earth from the evil dragons. This is as fair as the story goes because this is a manga with only 14 chapters so while it is not exactly surprising it still is bad none the less.

Characters: 4
There are 4 main characters that I will talk about.
Haruomi Haruga: He is the main male protagonist and is your typical main character. He enters a contract with a demon dragon and becomes fairly powerful with the help of his friends.
Hinokagutsuchi: The demon dragon that the main character enters a contract with. All we know about her is that she was called the queen and dragons and that she gave a very powerful power to the main character.
Juujouji Orihime: A classmate of Haruga's he is trying to make a partnership with a dragon. She is from a rich family with influence and is nice and kind.
Rubashvili Anastasya: Childhood friends of Haruga's and a level five dragon user. She is quick to anger about girls getting close to Haruga and has a crush on him.
The problem with this character is that I feel like I've seen then hundreds of times and none of them are interesting.

Art: 8
The art for this manga is very nice and is the best thing about it.

Enjoyment: 5
This manga was not very enjoyable, but I read it very quickly because it was very short. It was not able to get me invested at all and I was reading it for the sake of finishing it.

Overall: 5
This manga has an uninteresting story, boring characters, and was not very enjoyable. However, the art is pretty nice. This is not a manga I recommended reading because it is just not the engaging or interesting.
