07-Ghost

Anime/Manga Review





Though his classmates tease him unmercifully about being an orphan and a slave, Teito Klein is the elite Barsburg Academy's star pupil. His mastery of the magical art of Zaiphon is unmatched, and, along with his best friend Mikage, he passes the final exam with flying colors. Unfortunately, after a chance encounter with the sinister Ayanami, his long repressed memories start to return, and he realizes that his life has been a lie. He is actually heir to the throne of the now subjugated Ragg Kingdom! He flees and ends up taking refuge in a church, neutral territory known as “The Zone of God.” Although he gains a trio of new allies within those sacred walls, Barsburg will stop at nothing to get him back—even if that means making fell bargains with ancient demonic powers!
Teito is a typical magical boy: small, dark-haired, dour, short-tempered, and angst-ridden. And just in case you didn't think he was gloomy enough, he spends most of volume one in shackles; talk about the clang and bang of heavy-handed symbolism! At first, he thinks that he is an orphan, but he quickly discovers that he is actually a prince of a conquered kingdom who lost both his father and the priest who raised him to enemies that are still (shocker!) after him for as of yet unknown, nefarious ends. They will, naturally, stop at nothing to have him, sacrificing even his best friend Mikage to get him back, and if Teito is to have a prayer for the future he is going to need to the help of the Church…and one rather raunchy male priest improbably named Frau in particular.
I think this anime is pretty good xD. The way they fight is like using a language in the air that explodes on impact or something like that >.<. :P i rate it 5/5
