Name: Grancrest Senki (グランクレスト戦記) Link: http://www.fujimishobo.co.jp/sp/201407grancrest/ Raw: http://www.zip-rar.com/グランクレスト戦記-04巻/ Why It Should Get Picked Up: Great fantasy novel from Ryo Mizuno (author of Record of Lodoss Wars and Rune Soldier Louie) and illustrated by Miyuu (illustrator of Chrome Shelled Regios) Description : On a continent ruled by chaos, the Lords have the power of a Crest (holy seal) that can calm the chaos and protect the people. However, before anyone realizes it, the rulers cast aside their creed of purifying the chaos, and instead start to fight each other for each other's Crests to gain dominion over one another. Siluca, an isolated mage who scorns the Lords for abandoning their creed, and a wandering knight named Theo, who is on a journey to train to one day liberate his hometown, make an everlasting oath to work together to reform this continent dominated by wars and chaos. (Source: MyAnimeList, edited) LN Covers: Spoiler: LN Covers From left to right: Theo: A wandering knight on a training trip for the purpose of liberating his hometown. As he got the crest by his own power, his latent powers are quite high. Siluca: A genius magician. She finds in Theo her ideal Lord, one that fights for the sake of the weak, that's why she chooses to follow him. Aishela: An excellent Artist (evil crest user) that boast and incredible fighting power. She loves Siluca a lot, and it's quite vigilant of Theo. Lassic: King of Sevis. He once tried to attack Theo's territory and got defeated. After swearing his allegiance to Theo, and for the sake of Theo's dream, he works hard on the territory's expansion. There's also a manga version being published in Young Animal (ヤングアニマル).
I would say it's a war fantay story, with strategic battles and a little of territory administration, like Madan no Ou to Vanadis but without that much ecchi. I haven't found any manga translation so far.
The novel looks good but wth is wrong with that fourth guy...he looks like he'll steal all your money and then take your cloths too....
manga has already been translated...cannot post link try finding it in mangapark...somebody translate this please
i've just read the 1st 5 manga , would be great if someone can pick this up LN as it seems like a good read bah just noticed you said it's getting a anime ...this means yen press will pick it up ..now i'm feeling depressed just thinking about it
I hope this novel will get pick up really soon because I really like this one and I really like the story
Record of Lodoss War wasn't too bad as a anime but it was done a good few years ago, it's worth watching i just hope someone picks up Grancrest Senki as the manga's not been to bad so far and is up to number 12 now
