To tell you the truth ive never wrote a review before but after reading this manga and finding out that its not that popular, and their is no review written for it, i had to step up. anyway back to the manga the story line is not bad and interesting and it has it is way of letting u keep reading non stop, and what fascinated me about it the most is the art it was just so good and creepy that makes u chill to ur spine sometimes. And of course this manga is all about fighting and the writer did a really good job atit, it takes you a long time to be able to blink when the action starts. The main character is really cool, bad ass and smart. overall Story: 8 Art: 10 Character: 8 Sorry for the bad writing and hope you would enjoy the manga.

Synopsis

Yousuke is an ordinary high school student who lives in the town of Miyakono until he accidentally breaks a shrine of the Guardian of the South, the phoenix. He then unwillingly sacrifices his future, and in return he gained the bow of the phoenix. Now, to regain his life energy and protect the innocent people of Miyakono, he must battle against monsters called the Kenzoku using the bow (Source: ANN)

This manga has a fairly simple plot about defeating the enemy and saving the town, along with saving some people's lives, but it is executed well and the characters are put in interesting situations. The real value of the manga comes in how the characters deal with the enemies, and how the main character deals with his sacrifice. The climax of the series was very good, the enemy had a seemingly omnipotent power, but through the characters' ingenuity, they were able to take advantage of the situation in a believable way. The ending could have been better if it went in a darker direction, solong as it was executed well. As is, the ending is not bad, it is a fairly typical ending though.
