It only took me 2 chapters to get me interested.
The one thing I liked about this series is the way it correlates with the Fire Emblem Game of the Nintendo Product, "Gameboy Advance".
If you loved the RPG game(s), you should definitely consider reading this. It gives you an inside look on the history of the tragedies that formed.
The translated volumes are very inconsistent with qualities. One chapter could look better than the other. So when reading this, don't look onto the artwork as much. Just try to follow up with story.
Over all, I give this manga an 8 out of 10.
The art work was great but I felt it was still missing something.
Considering that this manga came out before the game makes you understand why characters where featured more than the other and why the story wasn't as adept as it was supposed to be expected.
The character starts out as a "Kid Goku" type of character from "Dragon Ball". I would mistake him for Goku..if, and only if, he had a tail...considering how he started out happy willing, had incredible durability, seemed pure hearted, and never gave up whenever odds were against him.
In conclusion, this manga was very "SHOUNEN". It makes you want an "experienced mangaka" to create even a better story for this type of series. the only thing I could say this manga was missing was either realism (to some extent) and more correspondence with the games of Fire Emblem 7 - Sword of Seals and Fire Emblem 8 - Blazing Sword. If only there were more seriousness for better character development, I would LITERALLY give it a 15 out of 10. All in all, it was a good read.
