started reading this one. I think its a fun concept but maybe not the best written story ever. What do you guys and girls think?:samurai:

It's an interesting story, and the art's pretty good too.
More fanservice than I expected...not that that's a bad thing, of course.
Definitely a good choice for some pleasure reading. ;3

Edit: I didn't even realize how wrong that sounded with those two sentences together until now. xD;;

The art impressed me, and really, so did the first couple of volumes. The four central characters were charming, and certain events in the second volume -- well, anyway, the problems are myriad. They've got this great setup, and then they ditch it for elves in a forest. Sang, despite nailing the archetypal "bumbling cutesy heroine who occasionally shows some damn spine" role, turns out to be a textbook example of a Mary Sue.

And the gender-changing thing is done to death.

I really wish they'd have just rolled with the original storyline. It's like the creator tried to cram every fantasy-related idea he had into one series.

How far are you in the series? My friend gets PhD and I just borrow her manga...all the time. She tends to like the Korean art styles. I do have comments about it...but I don't want to spoil anything for you.

Um... just curious, but how much fanservice is in this manga? :/

I don't...particularly like fanservice mixed into my fantasy mangas... takes away too much from the plot. I have wanted to buy this manga for a while now, but still haven't gotten around to it.

At first, it's just one spicily-attired girl. Later on, it gets to the Love Hina level (only less frequently, at most five or so times in a volume).
