Good premise, great art, weak plot. I hope the series stays alive long enough for the author to grow and deepen the characters and the intrigue.

Thank you for the update! I still enjoyed it.

plot is incredibly weak, and the"head" is he most baffling part. So shes trained all her life and was ready to murder the mc... but somehow she cant muster any level of seriousness in any situation. She acts just lie a spoiled brat. Did everyone around her coddle her so that she thins shes of any use?

@Nyaaa here is my advice on her
I can understand her feelings tho. But she sure is a spoiled brat of a head. She doesn't have the shoulders to bear with the task.
She plays the head for now at least but she doesn't have the qualities to be one.
She may have inherited it but she's still far from being a good head. I can understand that she's frustrate but she's going a bit overkill by wanting to restrain him. Tho we still shouldn't forget that she's only a highschooler.

LOL that extra page you guys did is great.

Even though this had a good start and has potential, I feel like the author sorta dropped the ball, as there’s really no direct plot from the start, unlike most, if not all of the big Shounens. Of course, this doesn’t have to try to be them, I just can’t help but feel it’s a little wasted as I like the concept, so the author will have to work hard to keep it going.

Why do they care what this bitch say? Just do your own training, lol. The old man can train them so they don't really need masochist slut for anything. Permission? She's clearly not fit to be a leader so who cares what she says.

@M8E and that's why I said she's mentally weak. I'm not saying people like her don't exist. I'm saying is not everyone is like her. Read the comment I was replying to for context.

Anyway. The main reason I want her to die is to make the story more interesting. This kinda situation has been done countlessly in manga and therefore quite predictable. Going by the trope, the MC gonna save her or something gonna happen that break her spirit and the MC gonna praise her or some shit to raise her back up. And that's boring.

@TheMinester I'm 100% blaming the people around her. They don't do a good job guiding her. For what small details I've seen, those old men never really advise her outside of the bare minimum. They also never done any character training on her either.

She's slow (stupid) on the head. Careless. And weak (mentally).

WTF has her house teacher been doing for the last ten years.

From how I see it, she's ALREADY in high school.

It's a human emotion, but it's a terrible human emotion.
She used her precious tool as bait, she went to murder mode without asking, and most importantly, she lost against some unarmed guy with no training even before he had any power. If the main character hadn't been paralysed by shadow monsters, he'd have gotten away entirely. And almost immediately after that, her life's been saved by the main character.

She has a fraction of shadow talent that got to her head that she can't even use efficiently to capture the main character, she's a liability that gets oneshot and she's angry that someone else got the stuff she wanted. It's understandable, but also being a total bitch - with her position as "head" she also has a duty not to be a petulant child. It'd be nice if one of the elders had pointed that out, that she'd failed that badly as a head and tell her that her abuse of someone who's shown to better her thrice (shadow powers, saving her life, evading her murder attempt) should have her stripped of her position.

Wow this head is just a child I guess. Weak mentality, prone to insane bouts of jealousy, taking it out on the mc.

This manga makes no sense. What are the shadow things he could see? Why could he see them? Why are there shadow ninjas?

Who knows
