Some of you might of this manga. Hell, one of my chapters is heavily influenced by one of the fights from this story.
Summary: The story begins when the gods call a convention to decide whether to let humanity live or die, and settle on destroying humanity. But a lone valkyrie puts forward a suggestion to let the gods and humanity fight one last battle, as the last hope for humanity's continued survival. 13 gods will fight against 13 human champions in one-on-one battles to decide whether humanity lives or dies.
TlTLDRThis manga is Tournament of Powers...but better.
I will not go in-depth on the stories since there's a lot of spoilers for people who don't know this manga. Now on worth to the review~
Storyline:
- The pacing of the storyline is can be slow from time-to-time but it gave us the solid characterization as well as the backstories and their motivation in the fights. For people who like to read manga about people fighting each other to death, then this is your poison. - The entire fight can be a rollercoaster as it cuts the fight in-between for a little bit of flashback for the character but works well into the story as the fight goes on. - As the story progress, we get to see some other historical figures that can be apart of the crowd with their narrative as what their thought on both the fight and the characters that were occurring in the field. The Gods also got their moment to shine as the view on Humanity keeps on changing from disbelief to hype to various amount of emotion.
Artstyle:
- The art style...It's beautiful. Well, not exactly. By beautiful, I mean on how the mangaka manages to portray some emotions on the characters as every single one of them are detailed. From the crowds to the Gods, to even the fight itself. - The face expression of the characters will always give you the sense of 'Wtf' as it wasn't normal at all...I'm looking at you Bryn. But hey, that's the charm of the manga. Their facial expression reminds you of some animes or mangas that always to this exaggerated face in a good way.
