A guy gets transferred into a school that is mainly comprised of girls because he was considered a problem person, where in this school he will be reeducated by the girls which can carry white weapons, and have as leaders the 5 Supreme Five Swords. First, let me tell you about this manga to give you the feel for it. This manga is an action comedy that at times doesn't seem to want to be taken seriously, but at other times has pretty dark plotlines/traumas and drama. There is also a lot of nudeness or ecchi parts, so be prepared for that. The manga is veryfocused on fights, especially sword fights (but also sometimes other weapons), and tbh the sword fights get very deep in terms of techniques and schools of sword martial arts, and ig if you actually know about this stuff, it might be very fun to see them, but for me, it went a bit over my head at times when they would call and explain their moves and techniques or have them written on the page. They were interesting to see and I would take them as just like characters in shounen call out their power moves/spells. There's also some more extraordinary techniques that don't actually exist in real life, so it isn't all grounded in reality, not at all. Our MC though uses fists. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight? My man is fighting swords with his fists... and he's actually really good at it. The story follows the MC, which is an adept of the idea of freedom, for good reasons, trying to live his life as he wants to, while people try to "fix" him. The story isn't overall very complex, and is quite constrained/small in terms of the world it is happening in. There are a few background stories and plotlines that do have a bit of nice touch to them. Personally, the first part/arc, which was also adapted in the anime, was the best. The next arc is pretty good as well, but there were some moments where it got a bit confusing to truly relate with how some characters felt, and it made me have to double take certain moments to truly understand what they meant. And here comes one of the biggest problems that I had when trying to enjoy this story... The English fan translation. This manga, as of now, has no official translation, which means you will have to read the fan translations of it, and oh boy does the fan translation in English suck ass for how bad it is at times. There are like around 15 chapters in the middle of the manga, something like from chapter 35 to 49, where the translation was so bad that I had to keep going to the Brazilian/Spanish fan translation and use google translate camera on it to actually understand what the characters said, as either the texts would make literally no sense, or they would say something that was so out of the context it felt very weird and made me question why would the character say that, or even better, they would explain something and do the opposite right after. I don't even want to start with the gender mistakes or sometimes even names... It really impacted my enjoinment of the story... it gets better at some point, but it went on for quite a bit too many chapters... As a note here: at some point I realized that I could go find the Japanese version of the manga, but here was another problem as sometimes chapters or pages missing vs the English one, and use the built in AI chat in browser to quickly make snippets/screenshots of the text I want to be translated, and paste it into the AI chat. It really helped me when the manga still had text in Japanese that wasn't translated or to quickly find another translation to be sure the paragraph was translated correctly. It is pretty good, highly recommend this method. And next comes another big problem I had with this story: the ending. Without spoiling, the ending is an open ended ambiguous type, that feels like the manga just suddenly got axed, where even with two chapters before the last chapter new plotlines are created with new people that suddenly appeared, leading to the idea that there will be a continuation... As of now, after 4 years since the manga has ended, I heard of no continuation being made or anything like that, and taking into account the amount of story being made during the 8 years of this manga's run, I find it hard to believe we will get one. I was really surprised to see that this manga took 8 years to be made, as the story feels quite small, like it wasn't that long of a story being told... So yeah, most likely, no continuation. Story: 6 -- The manga is very focused on fights, coupled with comedy, but also deals (somewhat) at times with traumas and such. The story part though seems to sometimes be lacking or not enough time being spent on it. I really wanted to see more of certain characters or moments. This manga feels a bit like we're just seeing a small window of MC's life. We drop in suddenly, get some background to understand some of the characters and their actions, see quite a few cool fights and developments, get a few more characters and fights, then as suddenly as it started, it ends, with the idea that next comes a big arc/new chapter for the characters, for which we won't be there to see it. Art: 9 -- The art is pretty good, especially at fights. Characters: 7 -- Quite a few intriguing characters that I started to like, especially the designs, but not enough time spent on quite a lot of them imho... Enjoyment: 6 -- It is an okay read, but the two problems that I mentioned kinda put a down turn on my enjoyment a bit too much... Overall: 7 Right now it has 7.14 from 3.845 votes Ranked #7577 Popularity #1579 Members 15,813 as of 7/11/2026 I can recommend this manga to people that want to see an action comedy manga with a bit of darkish ideas put in at times, with quite a lot of complex/deep sword fights, and also nudeness and ecchi. You should also be okay with the idea that the ending feels a bit like the manga got axed. For how it ended, there should really be a continuation, so who knows, hopefully there will be, but I don't see it personally...
