Trinity Seven, Vol. 1: The Seven Magicians - manga (Trinity Seven, 1) Paperback – Illustrated, May 19, 2015

<i>Trinity Seven</i> is a typical Japanese style fantasy manga. It has all of the hallmarks of such a story. This includes the fan service, the domineering guy (who is also lecherous, by the by), the girls who just need to be shown kindness, the tsundere girls that abuse him, so on.Of course, the guy, Arata (our main male protagonist) is <i>really</i> powerful. But in this case, so are the girls. It isn't that this never happens in such stories, but usually the powers of the ladies aren't focused on as much. The girls here are, in some ways <i>more</i> powerful than Arata, starting with Lillith-Sensei.The story starts when Arata notices strange things happening, like his cousin/childhood friend acting strangely and the sun being <i>black</i>. He pushes the issue and finds out that the area he lives in is no longer around. It was subjected to something called a "breakdown phenomenon". This occurs when magic goes out of control and the surrounding area is destroyed. Apparently, this happened in Arata's town and he recreated it through (unknowing?) possession of a special magical grimoire.Unfortunately, this could cause future disastrous problems, so Lilkith (who tracked him down when investigating the breakdown phenomenon) gives Arata the choice to have his memory erased or be killed. But when he finds out his cousin, Hijiri, still lives and could be restored, he rejects this and asks to be trained at the magical academy where she teaches instead. This way, he can eventually bring Hijiri back.The story is fun, and quite humorous. It us somewhat sexist in the "women are emotive, men logical" department. Though this is only a plot point to explain why the most oowerful mages - other than (the impulsive, emotive Arata - are women. And the "toilet humor" might bother some, but it is relatively minor, to be fair. The art is detailed and good, this being a big fan-servicey series and all. Characterization, other than Arata being a major siscon, Lillith a lonely and uptight teenage prodigy, and some other characters being mischievous or weird, is not big. Of course, this is the first volume.I quite enjoyed and recommend this.

So, a sexy, pervy, end-of-the-world, magic boarding school slice-of-life story is what we have here. Definitely different. Gorgeous girls, to be sure. Did anyone else think the head of the school was actually a woman? Or just me? It wasn't until the incinerator scene that it made clear that he's a he, so the headmaster. Anyhow, I liked what I've read so far, so I'm jumping right into volume 2 as soon as I'm done here. Art, pretty darn good. Pleasing to the eyes, and very detailed (I always love the background details, shows the artist's true talent). Dialogue, great. Pretty funny at times, silly & urbane at others. Firs well. Characters, likeable, interesting, intriguing, exciting, fascinating, & in the case of most of the girls, totally adorable. A few girls are downright creepy.

It's Great condition and it arrived on time.

In this manga, it follows Arata Kasuga who happens to be a shameless pervert who always says what’s on his mind. An unforeseen event happens in the form of a “breakdown phenomenon” that causes his cousin and their hometown to vanish. With the help of Lilith, a stern and pure teacher of magic, Arata enrolls in the magical Royal Biblia Academy in an attempt to learn magic skills and get his cousin back. In the meantime, he’s spending his time perving around Lilith and a group of girls who have special powers and he’ll soon learn he may have surprising powers.I wasn’t really expecting much from “T7” given how it seemed like other manga I’ve recently read, and I’m kinda glad. The fantasy plot and world feels a bit typical and there’s not much explanation about it. Arata’s definitely your average anime perv who, for now, isn’t really that likable since he’s more focused on the girls than how his life changed. It’s the humor and Lilith’s reactions that pretty much keeps it all alive and the girls’ scattered personalities bringing surprises. An OK fantasy manga that’s more on humor than spells. <b>B (75%/Good)</b>

10 out of 10 stars. Would big boobie again.The character designs are cute and sexy, and they are funny.

I'm not sure how I came across this series, but after reading the first manga, I'm not sure how I missed it. This is a great comedy with an awesome main character who most guys wish they had the stones to match. It is hilarious, albeit a bit confusing on the magic system. All in all, I'm 100% sold; this is now one of my favorite manga.

Interesting take one magic, fanservice, exciting action sequences, fanservice, wounder illustrations, fanservice, an enjoyable story line with good character traits, fanservice, ohh and don't let me forget about the fanservice! I'm just kidding, there was some "servicing" but it was appropriately distributed throughout so it wasn't as overwhelming and i may have suggested. But still a really good manga to check out. I would say mature 17+

I love this. Its absolutely hot and every panel is an absolute joy. I look forward to continuing to satiate my endless lust.
