Author: Ikezawa Haruto
Artist: Ikezawa Haruto


Description: Kurogane Hiroto is in high school, where he is academically the top of his class but literally the worst in physical activity. Born with a weak body, he has no endurance, speed nor strength and Hiroto wants nothing more than to be a hero. Fate teases him by giving him phenomenal eye sight, which allows him to see well beyond anyone else in sports, but his body is not able to react to any of it.
He learns from his friend Shiratori, who wants to recruit him for the Kendo team, about a rumor about a ghost named Tojo Sayuri, who wields a katana and haunts an ally in the city. Half curious, Hiroto goes there only to find that the ghost is real and that Tojo Sayuri has been looking for a successor to her Sakura sword style for 150 years. Sayuri chooses him as the successor after being able to dodge her attack and forces him to learn the Sakura style. Even with the help of the ancient swordsman ghost, Hiroto has to overcome his poor motor skills in order to be the hero he always wanted to be.

yeah
i have been waiting for the first chapter

[mariorive24]

I didn't like the color pages, they looked like photoshoped. :@

The story is interesting, and the last double page was very well draw.

[Kirika]

It definitely picked up towards the end. I think it's an interesting story and has a lot of potential. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

And yes, the color page was CRAP

[Dracula]

I just read it and it really looks promising. The art is nice, characters are cool. I like manga about samurai, swords and stuff so I think I'll like this.

[blazin]

nevermind, its not worth it to complain to a bunch of leechers, all I'm gonna say is that if you really don't like something, then get off your lazy ass's and go help scanlate.

[Kirika]

Oooo? Did we manage to piss off one of the project members? K, then let me say this. The first color page is over processed. The title page is great. Get over it. CWL has done some great work in the past, but I don't believe this meets those standards. It looks like something we would find on DA.

I actually thought at first that it might have been the mangaka's styling... but considering how pissed off you seem to be, I guess not.

And... I would love to help scan: if I knew japanese, if I had the programs, and if I had the time. Which I don't. If you don't like leechers (who are grateful for those who take the time and effort to translate each chapter, but are allowed to have an occasional objection), then stop scanning.

In the meantime, thanks for all your hard work in bringing us a manga that we've been anxiously awaiting. We look forward to what this manga will become.

[O$NA]

i'm wondering in which direction this manga will go: supernatural or more into sports?

[Kirika]

I'm thinking supernatural. Honestly, it has kind of an early Bleach feel to it.

I thought the color pages were original of the author. If that is the case, then it was not very good. If it was fan made it was not the pace to put those pages. But it was ok, well done
I really appreciate the effort of all the people involved in scanlation.

@Osna I think it's going to go more to the sport side. He is going to start training in the dojo an get some rivals at it. The dojo members kind of made me remember "Slam Dunk"

It's funny how few changes the author did to the one shot, I can see the editor saying:"you need more panties".
