"Legend speaks of seven heroes, each one bearing the power of one of the stars of the Big Dipper. Two of these stars are constantly in conflict, destined to battle and throw the world into chaos....Not that Taitou has ever paid much attention to old stories. Headstrong and defiant, he is the last in his village to complete his coming-of-age ceremony--a fact his sister Laila incessantly teases him about. When he is finally deemed worthy, he is presented with the Kenka Ranbu, an ancient sword that can only be drawn by a true hero. As the frustrated Taitou struggles to unsheathe the sword, a mysterious thief appears, making off with the blade and citing the legend ofthe Big Dipper. The stars have been set in motion, as Taitou sets off after the Kenka Ranbu and the truth of his own destiny."--p. [4] of cover.… (altro)
A pretty standard hero's journey is draped in Chinese folklore and loaded up with slapstick and snark. It's cheesy that once Taitou Shirei has been declared one of the seven heroes who represent a star in the Big Dipper constellation and sets out with his sister to find the other six, he quickly and easily trips over one every time he stops for lunch.
There are a several people credited for the story, scenario and "art configuration," but it seems like Hiromu Arakawa gathered all their stuff together and went off on a lark at the drawing board to create a very fast-paced juvenile adventure that is rated Older Teen because, I suppose, of all the sexual harassment of the sister by gropers and peeping toms. It's nowhere near as good as Silver Spoon or even Fullmetal Alchemist, but I have all five volumes from the library, so I'm going to keep charging through and see where it goes. ( )
