Manga 103786 Black Torch Suggestion

Black torch is a series similar to Jujutsu Kaisen, and while the artwork is fantastic, the fights, character development, and plot progression are all pretty basic.

Plot Progression/Story
The narrative isn't very engaging, but the breakneck pace balances that out just a bit.

Character Development
Considering the fact that Black Torch is only five volumes long, all of the main characters are decently fleshed out.

Fights
Of the three main shonen battle types, Black Torch falls into the magic/fantasy encounters, but the fights lack any kind of length and are usually only a few pages long, which is understandable ... due to the pacing.

Artwork
The artwork is fantastic, and it's one of the greatest strengths of the series. Without the beautiful panels, my enjoyment of it would have dropped considerably.

Conclusion
Black Torch is a series that has amazing artwork, but its fights, story, and character development are average.

Honestly I picked up this manga because I knew it would've been a fast read and because of the artwork, and honestly, those are the only things this manga brings to the table.
Plot: the story is REEEALLLY unoriginal: it mixes bleach with naruto with jjk with demon slayer, creating the most shonen manga ever 💀 the funny thing is that the concept was actually interesting especially the villain😭
Characters: considering the pacing and the length the characters are fine but again they aren’t original and nothin new to find.
Artwork: solid amazing artwork, sometimes felt like a bleach copy but I don’t really care, my main ... issue was the unnecessary fan service I found kinda annoying
Fights: sadly the fights felt pretty rushed (yes I know the pacing and length ecc) but they really lasted only a few pages and that was a bit disappointing especially the last one
In conclusion it’s nothing crazy pretty much carried by the action panels, 5/10

I will say man, the art is pretty great in this, especially the fighting scenes! However i just felt the story was dragging and I just couldn’t connect much from the characters, especially the main character acting just basic edgy and constantly shouting a lot. I decided to drop this at 16 out of the whole 19 chapters because I just felt less excited what’s going on tbh. This manga might as well be an artists exhibition book than having a actual story to it. I think the story might as well just disappear and let the whole plot go at its pace. It’s just ... a thought......
