I read the first chapter. It was pretty interesting and was a cute little story...but there wasn't really anything that stood out in terms of writing and the art could use a lot of improvement. I

'm pretty sure this is going to the chopping block when it starts getting ranked

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

I wonder this series going to focus more on romance than action. I, personlly, want this to be more on romance-oriented, since current Jump series don't have romantic-comedy series.

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

Been growing on me since it started, probably my favorite of the new stuff this round.

Still expecting it to get axed though.

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

The first chapter is good. So far, I get a "Shonen Sunday feeling" coming from this manga, I don't know why. Maybe it's the art...

Looking foward to what path it'll take.

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

What I enjoy about Shion is that he starts off as a high ranked sorcerer right from the beginning at such a young age. There's a damsel in distress and he comes to save her. The back and forth flashbacks from present to piece together the story was good writing to me. The cat, Anise, needs more time to shine and I predict she's probably one of those humans turning into a cat because of a spell gone bad, haha.

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

i really like magico, i read today the 2 chapters and it was good , and specially because it is different from what we have seen from Shonen Jump "lately", at least from what i have been reading. Normally the hero is weak , but on this case Shion is already is a very strong sorcerer and it is also great to see see some romance

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

Not bad

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

I like how this manga incorporates the romance in. It's quite different to the other shounen romance-oriented manga I've seen.
As for the battle scenes, hopefully Emma won't be a damsel in distress and develop some abilities with Ekidona/Echidna. ^^

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

Good chapter

Don't wanna get too hyped about the manga before we know where it stands but Shion's turning in to a pretty great protagonist.

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

liked this chapter and cant wait for more

is going to be interesting to see the clash between Marouni and Shion

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

I've only read two chapter, but they was intersting. I especially like that the world is so free (thinking about the magic rooms and stuff). Will keep following this, but it would probably get axed in a couple of weeks

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

Actually, the "strong protagonist" isn't all that uncommon in WSJ... I mean, sure, most of those weren't really hits, but Neuro, Muhyo, and Akaboshi all had REALLY strong protagonist at the very beginning... Neuro and Muhyo were literally the strongest in their respective world.

Oh, and Ch.4 Scan came out today.

Ch.5 Spoiler, but I'm too lazy to translate...

Spoiler

「東の楽園」壊滅の翌日、シオンに犬魔法を解除され母親の所に置いていかれる奴隷三人(名前はユーリ、イリア、ジャム)。
ニュースが流れ、シオンはマロウニの財産金銭を残らず奪いその場の300人以上を殺害と報道される。
怒るエマだが、シオンは気にしない。エマはシオンがリボンに魔法をかけて映像には落書きのような姿で映るようにしてある。
エマが胸に痛みを感じ、見るとアザが濃くなっている。
「魔石装儀(ﾃﾞｺﾚｰｼｮﾝ)」の最中、エマは首の無い羽根の生えた女のビジョンを見る。
それがエキドナかもしれないと言うシオン。ルベウスが小さな宝石となり指輪に付いて魔石装儀完了。アザも薄くなる。

次の儀式は「聖沐浴儀(ﾊﾟｰｼﾞ)」。神泉ルナに浸かることで身を清める。
神泉ルナは別名”悪魔の慈悲”。一定時間浴びるだけであらゆる病を治すというが、人が触れると激痛が走りまともに浴びることはできないといわれる。
場所は辺境の地アンドラ。

密林の中、巨大な魚を引きずる小さなパンプキンヘッド。
どう食べるかを考えている最中に魚をクマにあらかた食われる。
激怒したパンプキンヘッド、魔法でクマを倒す。
パンプキンヘッドのかぶりものを外してクマを食べる少女、空を行くシオンの竜を見て「ちょっとうまそうだな」
少女は”辺境の魔法少女”　”ルー”

Some Keypoints:

Spoiler

Shion broke the magic on the 3 slave girls/boy, and sent them home.
News report says that Shion took all the money from Marouni and killed 300 people.
Decoration was a success. During the ritual, Emma saw the vision of a headless woman with wings. Shion believes that's Echidna.
The next ritual is "Purge", involves bathing in the Holy Spring of Luna located in the Andorra outlands.
New character, a girl named "Ruu", aka "Magical Girl of the outlands".

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

I just started reading this. I find it really charming, even though I wonder how the mangaka will keep the balance of the love story relatively this innocent. Like, the mangaka didn't even draw their first kiss. xD

Re: [NEW] Magico by Iwamoto Naoki

just read chapter 4 and it was good! we got to know more about Shion and also know more about his powers
