JUNI TAISEN: ZODIAC WAR

JUNI TAISEN: ZODIAC WAR

A manga adaptation of the light novel where 12 warriors representing the animals of the zodiac enter a battle royale where the winner will be granted a wish.

I ended watching the anime for this when it came out but I can’t say that I particularly enjoyed the story. A lot of the plot meandered with the backstory of each warrior when they were about to die so that mostly ruined any element of surprise for most of the plot. I particularly thought the character designs were ridiculous and those same designs are used here by Medaka Box artist Akira Akatsuki. Akatsuki is a good artist and his battle scenes are pretty good but like I said the story by Ishin Nishio is pretty meh. If you want to experience this story I think you’re better off watching the anime.
