There are probably thousands of manga out there which has twist within it. If you are talking about quality, then you should probably bring the example within SS which is complete original and no other series actually did. For me, Nejimaki Kagyuu (since you brought the example outside of Shounen Jump, so I'll bring one as well) has more higher quality than SS.
I was just giving my opinion, and responding to a question given to me. Not like I wanted to discuss it with anyone. Why I made that post? there was a user talking about Ishoujo, and I decided to write about SS, it's that simple.
So according to you, I'm "definitely wrong" and "not familiar with Narita['s] style of writing," then. I'm not going to argue the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but you're making an objective argument instead of a subjective one, and to do that you need concrete facts that you just don't have.
And I agree with you, but I wasn't talking about it being a success or not. That's the reason why I tend to not read WSJ series, I just don't find them that good. In Drrr!! we got the real MC identify way later than in SS.
You keep arguing quality and quality. But things you have is like one of most basic elements in manga series and thousands of manga out there already did those elements. You didn't really say one unique thing about SS which other series doesn't have.
I definitely didn't say that, much less in that tone. Giving my opinion as I did(and made a damn point I did a lot of times), is subjective already.
I did say I find it a quality series, not that it was a really original one.
For me, it's a well written, well structured/crafted story where the writer is able to fully utilize the characters and world at hand. That's what I see in SS, with the plus of the art being more than above average.
I don't.
Maybe as the light novel, it should be good. But as for manga, not really good.
With this first major arc completed in Stealth Symphony the writer has displayed a unique talent for managing to create a story that does get better and better with each chapter. With a two chapter based strong introduction chapter with a high climax action setpiece that delivered action in a rather well treaded path with a lead in to a much longer in depth scenario giving us a glimpse of the creative prowess that they employ, though a variety of creative skills and attacks of character types that typically don't interact in the current manga landscape, Stealth Symphony emanates with this fun, deep, and emotional type of aura that gives it a special place in WSJ. Every panel feels necessary with no time wasted on focusing on fodder type individuals, tactic developments that are crushed in mere seconds, or pages filled with a huge txt to art ratio skewed towards more txt. Verily the usual tricks and schemes employed by weak writers with little to not future direction of their manga are not even present in Stealth Symphony. By offering a more plot and twist driven type of story with extensive development and growth of the lead character, Jig, and make him confront a few issues earlier than other stories would have them (for example confront V&V and Troma in another guild), its able to focus more on giving an exhaustive peak into the Stealth Symphony universe. This whole arc was a work of literary art and kind of makes me wonder if the series would be perceived more popular if it had opened up with this.
Aikyet gets the prize for being the only person who articulates someting they like about the title without just using blanket generic terms that make it sound like they aren't really reading the title!
Bottom 7
Welp, all the arguments about SS being amazing or even decent are invalid. The masses have spoken. Dead last which means it's pretty much dead. Better luck next time guys.
