First of all I come to present myself as someone who has seen all the sleeves of Hiro Mashima, but this doesn't mean that he's 100% in favor of his way of making stories.

You don't have to be an idiot to realize that this manga has a quite favorable potential to become a good manga, after all the "shonen nekketsu" despite its lack of originality over the years is still a pretty good, entertaining and preferred by many.

This manga has all that, probably it is very uncreative and with well-known designs, but after seeing more than 30 chapters I've realized that it's its differences and this makes it particular.

In history to which it goes, I can say that it's a 10/10, since it begins with a purpose so that the history can advance of certain form, and until now it has stayed in the correct way, without plot devices, without deux ex machina, and without those kinds of things that ruin a story in some way.

Of the characters cannot talk much about them except for the protagonist who is Shiki, because he's the only one who has revealed more his story and construction of the character, despite being very similar to Natsu of FT, is very well done.

Finally the art of this story is 10/10, since Mashima has been drawing very well the settings, the space, the planets, and the whole environment is quite wonderful lately.

This story has a lot of future, the one that comments that it's a mediocrity because it's very similar to its predecessors is a fool, since it's the style of the creator and it's his primordial formula for the creation of the manga.
