Manga: Mx0

[kAi]

Well, Bud happened to come on this, so I gave it a read and enjoyed it. I like the concept of the story thus far. It gets you laughing, and the character designs and magic is cool also.

Summary:
The story starts off with a flashback, Kuzumi Taiga is asked at his school entrance interview what he would do if he could use magic. "Take over the world" is his reply, followed by an outburst of laughter from a very cute girl. Not much remains in his memory after those events, but he does remember the girl and she is somehow involved in him failing to enter the school of his choice. Wandering around outside of aforementioned school the next day, he gets mistaken for a student ditching class by one of the teachers; and get's pulled into the school through a magic barrier he did not notice. He is in fact a student with no magical ability at all, and it just so happens this is a magic school.

I just read the first chapter. This could be the setup for a really cool series.

Seems to be lots of new 'Harry-Potter' type theme manga's coming out recently

Downloading now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hahahah!! Brilliant series. Funny as hell. Non-stop laughing from beginning to the end. I wonder if this series would eventually go somewhere and become more serious, it has potential to be a good proper series imo. :P

[samsonlonghair]

I finished reading all the available chapters, and I'm damn impressed. The story is funny as hell, the character dynamics are setting up some great jokes, and everything's set up for a great, long-running series.

Kai, this was a great find. Thanks for the link. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Chapter talk:
Nice chapter, he looked crazy insane then, looks good!
Now it seems these guys are in for a serious beating.

[Stoopider]

Woo yeah. Thanks

[kAi]

Just wondering if anyone is still reading this, it's upto chapter 51 now.

Chapter Talk
The group matches have just concluded, I also liked the way that the matches were won. Kazumi has got good tactics, and we already know his stamina and fighting sense.

I plan on picking this up after I catch up on berserk. Im hoping this has some decent humor and or action, otherwise I probably wont follow it. The art looks nice though, thats always a plus.

[Hikyuu]

Bah I've only read up through the first mach >< ... time to catch up
EDIT: Wow I really like The way the main character avoids using his MO so much. Were those caltrops he threw??? not the leaves-- the time before that.

[Everon]

53 and 54 just released by Ossu. I hope they translate more of this arc soon, it seems to be pretty funny.

[Ryllharu]

I see he's already screwed up their plan (at least a little) on his own.

[reminisc]

did i interpret it right? is Hirigi and the principal going to get taiga some magic powers?

hrmm about that time travel thing, won't that like mess up how he and aika met? like didn't they become friendly as a result of her feeling bad about him not passing the entrance exam cause she laughed? hrmm guess we'll have to wait and see.

lol he got turned into a basketball -_-''

[Foomanchew24]

Wow, this is a really fun manga to read. I really enjoy the thought processes of the main char having to bullshit his way through just about everything. I really hope he eventually learns some actual magic, that would be really gratifying to see. Great humor, action ect.. More people should be reading this.

[Foomanchew24]

Anyone else reading this? It is being scanned on a regular basis now and the story is alot of fun. Anyways this is up to chapter 94 now and it just keeps getting better, watching the main character struggle and grow.

[animus]

I kinda stopped reading when the speed scanners picked up. Maybe I'll pick it up again.

[Ryllharu]

I have not been enjoying the recent chapters as much. Kuzumi can use magic now. With that, it lost a lot of the charm it had with a normal-ish guy facing down all these students who possessed an overabundance of magical skill.

He could only rely on others (Lucy, Mizuki and Aika the most) or the defensive martial arts he learned to respond to his overpowered loli sister.

It gave him the charm of being a clearly inferior person, but still defeating them because his attitude. One of restraint. The others easily take for granted their abilities, and by not using any magic, Kuzumi was able to undermine their confidence. He was using their strengths, their weaknesses, and giving them a lesson all the time because though he reportedly has this immense magical potential, he never shows them any of it while defeating them.

m0 changed that a little bit, but the idea was still there. He was still storing up points to give to Aika at the end of graduation, and didn't want to waste it. He was forced to think about the best way to cancel their abilities using the least amount of effort, or not using m0 at all in order to keep it a secret as well as conserve his points.

Now...he can use magic more freely, which pulls some of the burden of secrecy off him, but I just can't see the feel of the series being the same anymore.

I can see where you're getting at, but I don't feel as though the series will devolve to that point, despite it being shonen and all. No, it's not as though Kuzumi developed full magical abilities, he can still only copy ONE spell at a time. This means he's still magically inferior to his classmates, while managing to avoid slipping too far behind while they increase their own abilities. He still needs to think- he's not going to overpower anybody else anytime soon through shear magical power.

Started sunday night and got to chapter 94.
Nice, I laughed hard a lot of times.
The black M0 development leaves ground for evolution.

Regarding fan service, it's done in a very humorisitc way at times, so I laugh very hard when it does happen.

Oh well, I'll come back to this when more chaps are available.

[Everon]

Well for you guys who may or may not know. Mx0 ends at 99.

Ryllharu was correct that the series was starting to come to an end. I'm sure the mangaka could have extended the series even longer, but without a good plot twist, it would be scraping the barrel.

[Ryllharu]

The exact same thing happened with Pretty Face, the author's last title.

Just and abrupt end that doesn't really tie everything up. Not that it's a really bad thing, it's far better than the series dragging on and on with no clear idea of where to stop or resorting to really stale, overused, cliche, really shitty fanservice with no point whatsoever.

(Open Sesame and Gacha Gacha, I'm looking at you and I'm ashamed to still be reading both).

EDIT:

Though I am surprised as everyone else. After Mx0 made it past chapter 53 (final chaper of Pretty Face), I thought the author finally had a hit with this one. The art is so much better than a lot of the totally generic series around. Canceled the series for no reason it seems.

...and here I was hoping for a Mizuki ending.
