Manga 121456 Necromance

"Oh...Necromance. It is regrettable that it met its fate like this." - What the king should have led with in chapter 1.

In all seriousness, it truly is a shame that this series received the axe. Perhaps because of there being no truck-kun, axe-kun decided to step in, and so this series has ended prematurely; bad jokes aside, the reason for the axing was low sales. Thankfully the author, rather than rushing the ending (which in all honestly they could have gotten away with considering what was going on during the last couple arcs), chose to finish the arc as they had originally intended. So while ... readers of this series won't get a true ending, there is at least some closure for the series, and the series is left in a position where the creator can easily enough continue. So, knowing that this is an axed series, is it still worth reading? While not a must, it isn't a bad way to spend a couple hours and flesh out your manga list.

Story: 7
The story is different enough from the typical hero fantasy series out there nowadays. The hero isn't transported in from another world or reincarnated, no revenge/betrayal/edginess. The series isn't aiming to be an epic or have battles lasting dozens of chapters. The hero party has some clear goals, and while attempting to fulfill those goals, they end up occasionally helping others in need. Arcs aren't drawn out, but are delivered in small servings. It's simple, yet because of its simplicity, it's refreshing in a way. There are definitely hints of things that were to come (but didn't beat the axing) that would have added more depth to the story, but unfortunately the execution of those foreshadowed events can't be judged.
Art: 6
The art is nothing spectacular, but does the job and suits this series well.
Character:5
The characters are like the story, very simple, and therefore predictable in their actions. Depending on the type of character interactions you enjoy, you'll either find certain characters annoying or endearing. I personally found a few of the characters annoying, but was interested enough in the story to look past that. The characters are at least pretty consistent with their types, and there is character growth.
Enjoyment: 6
If some of the characters were slightly different I probably would have enjoyed the series more. The creator often tries to be humorous (mainly silly humor), and while sometimes it did well, sometimes it fell flat. Overall, I was looking forward to seeing the story progress and am disappointed the series received the axe. Had the story been further along, it may have scored higher.
Overall : 6
