Shakugan no Shana



If you wish to fight using magic or some weapon freely during the school life, your dream can be realized by only buying this anime or reading manga called Shakugan no Shana. Well, last week I happened to finished watching this Shakugan no Shana. After browsing into Wikipedia, I learnt that Shakugan no Shana was originally a series of Japanese light novels that related media works written by Yashichiro Takahashi and illustrated by Noizi Ito.

THE SUMMARY


This story centers on a male main character named Yuuji Sakai who had thought his normal days would last forever, however ends abruptly by encountering a strange incident.

It occurs when he sees something bizarre on his way home where the people are frozen in a strange fire and a large doll-like monster is attacking them. Just when he's about to be killed, a cloaked girl wielding a large katana appears and kills that monster. It's a Flama Haze, Shana! Although he still survives, she informs him that he is died indeed.

Proving a blue flame in his chest, she explains he is a temporary replacement for erased humans, Torch. Soon, they discover that he is not just common Torch but he is Mystes who houses a "Hougu", a device possessing special abilities of sort and considered an extremely powerful and valuable one at that. Thus, he is considered as a "Special" Torch which he can't vanish from the world so easily.

So the "treasure" within him is the main reason many enemies are after him. It causes Shana has decided to fight in order to protect Yuuji from the Denizens, who would use the treasure to disrupt the balance of the world. Yuuji decides to join Shana in her fight against Tomogora and other Haze as well.

I think this story is simply good but not enough excellent rating. =P The development of the characters somehow become interesting following the deep core of this story. The visual effect during the fight is pretty great and excellent which relates to the main concept, "Flame". Very impressive..really...

Maybe you have different opinion... but I recommend you to try watching or reading this. You can judge on your own way after watching or reading!
