Phantom Wizard

The story literally made me cry. The art was a bit crowded, but all the same stunning. The characters you could never relate to, they're so sad, but this just makes the manga better. I got maximum enjoyment. Try reading it while listening to this over and over : http://www.imeem.com/nazleo/music/gyNt0_tC/angel-tv-theme/

Absolutely one of the best manga i've ever read.

By god, I remember reading this and revolting to its awfulness. I will now recount my personal experience with it:

I came across it while pressing Random Manga back when One Manga still existed (God rest its soul. T_T) and I thought that the drawing style was alright and so I decided to check it out later.

I did.

It really started alright, it was a chase scene where a character gets involved with the main characters and helps them escape from their pursuers. That's fine and dandy, right? The setting seems to be shounen and RPG-like, and so I set my expectations of such. Another character joins them and seems to be a healer/support type. We meet the villans, it's the uncle.

At some point (I'm not willing to go back and check) it is revealed the male and female lead are brother and sister and that they love each other romantically. "Wait, what? No!" was my reaction to the idea of incest. "Why'd you do that!?" Thoughtlessly, I pushed on.

There's some rival-like character that joins (along with a buddy whom I forget) and now the cast finally resembles some sort of party that can work. They hike off to some secluded place, but too soon do the villains show up and somehow kidnap the two main leads and brainwash them over a friggin' timeskip. The story's a wreck after this that need not be salvaged more than that the ending was completely unsatisfactory in that they both die, but not really. Confusing? You'd see what I meant if you read it, but that's exactly what I don't want you to do. Biased review, blatant spoilers, point is that it was short and bad.

I disliked it. =
