Review:

I don't know how to begin explaining this masterpiece.

Aside from its fantastical Arabian vibes, beautifully drawn characters, and intriguing plot, it taught me a lot of politics AND IT GOT ME HOOKED!

So basically, there are magis who had to find their chosen ones and teach them to be the next king of the world since the last world mode of politics was a failure, the external forces of the world are basically betting on their preferred king. They're promoting things like "the world needs a ruler" or "we should live in harmony with different beings" or "there should be hierarchy to establish order." Eventually, they showed that no method of ruling is perfect, it has its pros and cons and yeah. It is mostly stuff I'd get bored learning about but is beautifully explained in this manga.

I kinda suck at explaining but reading the manga firsthand will make you appreciate this beautifully woven story more. Please give it a read.

Favorite character/s:

Aladdin. I like this pacifist kid and his glow-up. He is the very definition of Live your life through the eyes of a child. Now that I mentioned that phrase, he now reminds me of a blue-haired Aang.

Sinbad. I have a love-hate admiration for this guy. He is good in a way that his goals are beneficial to the world, but I hate him for being racist. I know he's been through a lot, but it doesn't give him any excuse to be a dictating s.o.b. He's just a character I can't hate.
