| Description: | In a time and place where one’s soul can be morphed into a weapon, there are modern-day magicians called Mage-Knights. Although Kurogane Ikki is a student at an institution that trains Mage-Knights, he has no particular talent in magic and is labeled the "Failure Knight" or "Worst One." Getting way less than average marks in the scorings, he was forced to repeat a year. But with the arrival of a new head of the institution, a new rule was created: knights whose abilities are compatible, as decided by the board, must share rooms and attend practice and training together throughout their school years to bring up their abilities to the max. It is a rule to implement the absolute verdict of ability. Ikki’s roommate, Stella Vermillion, turns out to be a princess of another foreign country. Stella is a Rank A knight: the type of genius in magic who only appears once a decade. When Ikki walked in on her while she was changing her clothes, it caused a huge misunderstanding (since neither yet knew of the new rule) which eventually ended up in a duel between the two of them. The punishment (or as some might see it, the prize) of the losing side is Eternal Submission to the winning side. Forced to live the same room and practice magic together throughout all their school years, how will Stella and Ikki’s relationship evolve? This manga is an adaptation of the light novel series written by Misora Riku and illustrated by Won. https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=109987 |

Like hell, this is going to be along the lines of OTP with annoyances all around, Stella only has eyes for Ikki in the novels.
like a typical 'stupid' and arrogant villain...
To be fair, we still don't know that for sure. Because he only said that he want Stella to be more stronger and he thought that Ikki will only make her weak, so Ikki should stop his relationship with Stella. It can be interpreted as 'I want you as my rival' or 'I want you as my woman'. But if it's the latter, I don't think he would have any right to claim her as a trophy after...
You fail.
He's not like that at all.
Oh look.
But he wasn't originally even a top-class sprinter. He basically had no special talent until he forced it out of himself through sheer persistence. That's the only reason he became superior in any form: because he eventually (long after his kid years when his talent was judged) learned to compress the little talent that he had in order to explode it all at once. The storytelling is about how he overcame his lack of 'rank' with guts and hard work.
As the for the dad being a scumbag, it's aggravating but realistic. He showed his colours to begin with (thinking of others, including his kids, as nothing more than tools) by not giving his 'ungifted' kid any kind of nurturing; of course he would hate the idea of someone slapping his poor judgement in the face. While a decent human being would say, "Wow, I was wrong about you! Well done!" this guy would do anything to suppress and avoid having his judgement called into question. Even if the existence that threatens to do so is his son and could reflect well on the family name, it'll still make is personal valuation drop.
To me, the deeper story and earnestness of the MC in this is what places it above similar stories like asterisk.
That last page totally remind me of Byakuya.
So this "Misogi" guy is a flippant shorty who has the ability to overwrite reality who also works as vice-president in the student council? And he is also "weak" by most conventional metrics?
Pretty similar to another "Misogi" we've learned to love.
Not a fiance. Not at all. I know the "infatuated" from latest chapter doesn't help, but it's far from it.
I get it! I truly get it! I myself do wish they'd just get on with it...
But at least I know the true source of my frustration.........
( . Y . ) ~(ToT~)
The next cover of vol 10----!!!! comes out april 14th btw.
Cover 06!!
Thank God. Kimi was bad enough at the end. Not sure I could handle another Kouji-troll.
the real MVP is here.
Someone please spoil me I've watched the anime but haven't read the novel at all. Is his father really a scumbag? If so, why? It's not a lion throw his cub to the pit thingy? And I sense Stella will have an annoying fiance when they go to Vermillion later.
That's basically my point. I'm just not convinced about the story telling sprinter = no talent. Ikki is superior in almost all aspects except having no stamina/endurance at all.
Yeah but this isn't that.
You realize that you just compared a sprinter to a marathon runner right?
