Mixed Feelings

I'll try to write this review without thinking about the game this manga was based on, because the game did the story FAR better than this manga. Starting off, you will immediately fall in love with these characters, because they are all hilarious and great individuals to just see interact throughout the story. If only the story could hold up. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent story, but it's so RUSHED. (Also the fact that the ending deviates from the game so hard that you don't even know why the person orchestrating everything is doing all of this, leaving you severely unsatisfied.) It starts offat a good pace, but it just goes faster and faster until everything all of a sudden happens at once and it kinda kills it. Next is the art. This manga had some pretty great art, and combined with the characters, did have me laughing at times. It's nothing spectacular, but it gets the job done. I did enjoy this for what it was, I just wish it didn't skip so much. Overall, I do like this manga, but without knowing the story from playing the games, it might be a little difficult to even understand everything chapters 17 and beyond.

Synopsis

Bravely Default revolves around four young heroes of Luxendarc: the wind vestal, Agnès Oblige, who finds the wind crystal consumed in darkness; a mysterious vagrant named Ringabel with no memory of his past; Edea Lee of the Duchy of Eternia, who is sent on a mission to protect the world from a great evil; and a youth named Tiz Arrior who witnesses his brother and his hometown Norende being swallowed up by a great chasm. Coming to a week after Norende's destruction in the city of Caldisla, Tiz attempts to find survivors in the Norende Ravine. But he instead finds Agnès and Airy, a cryst-fairy who appears to be helping the vestal awaken the crystals out of their corruption which is causing natural calamities across Luxendarc. But Agnès is being pursued by the Knights of the Eternian Sky, who have been terrorizing Caldisla, and aim to keep the crystals from being awakened. Though Agnès refused his aid at first, Tiz manages to convince her to let him help her in her quest. Soon after, the two are joined by Ringabel and Edea, the latter disgusted with the Sky Knights' dishonorable actions while amazed to find the vestal not to be as evil as she was raised to believe.
