Being a person who doesn’t read manga just based on “looks” but instead on “how the artwork can compliment the storyline”, Nanatsu No Taizai was fully able to grasp my attention on this capability. The author collects delicate details such as the armor texture, breathtaking “middle age” landscape, and the common lifestyle of the era. You know, like artworks by Akira Toriyama (e.g Dragonball or Dragon Quest), the very early Final Fantasies, and the tales series.Another special feature of the artwork, is how it matched perfectly with the adventure tones. Now this is the first manga I have read by Suzuki Nakaba, but what I can tell from his artwork is that it reminds me so much of the 90′s era. So if your one of those people who love to read mangas at a steady and punctual continuous pace, this fits in the criteria perfectly! Nanatsu No Taizai is published by Kodansha in the Weekly Shonen Magazine (You guessed it! The same magazine that brought you the wonderful worlds of Fairy Tail, AKB49: Ren’ai Kinshi Jōrei, and Cage of Eden as well as previous works such as Negima!, Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicle, and Great Teacher Onizuka).ĭue to it’s weekly release dates, you can expect to see a dependable run of chapter updates. Naruto has had it’s run in being the veracious ninja of the Konoha village, and Luffy as the gallant member of the Straw Hats, but after reading Nanatsu no Taizai for quite some time now, I have noticed how eligibly well it is able to compete for ranksmanship (I know it isn’t a word, but it’s the only thing I could come up with =_=”), especially against big names like Fairy Tail, Ao no Excorcist or Beezlebub.
Now that the Era of the “big three” are close to being at being at it’s peak, it’s time for a new series to take the spotlight.
Together they set out to find the remaining members of the legion as well as uncover the truth of their false accusations. After stumbling across a local bar, she meet Meliodas, the frank and dauntless leader of the seven deadly sins. Elizabeth, the heir to the throne, sets out on a mission to seek out the help of the “Seven Deadly Sins”.
Nanatsu No Taizai is about a group of knights known as the “Seven Deadly Sins”, who have been awfully framed for the murder of the Great Holy Knight of Britannia (no, this is not Code Geass’s Britannia and Lelouch will not pop up anytime soon ) Ten years later, the Holy Knights have now decided to claim Britannia as their own, initiating a new domineering dictatorship. But using the & deadly scenes as a means to define characters in Arthurian type timeline, can’t say I’ve ever considered that before.
So you’ve heard on using the 7 deadly sins from various manga plots from the Industrial alternate universe of Full Metal Alchemist to the present day time of Code Breaker. King's real name is Fairy King Harlequin, and as the name suggests, he was the king of the fairies. King is a member of the Seven Deadly Sins and is the Sin of Sloth with the symbol of the Grizzly.
