Sacred volume 1 by Lizbeth R. Jimenez

About:


           A cryptic dream, a forbidden summoning, and the day that will change their lives forever…

Cecero is a 16-year-old wizard in training who lives in the country of Grandome; The heart and soul of the mystic realm. He lives in a dorm with his best friend, Sheko (who is possessed by a demon and...is addicted to porn...), swooned over countless female admirers (who have a very hard time keeping their hands to themselves), and is the son and apprentice of the greatest sorceress in history! His is a life of security, privilege, and wizardry-induced mayhem.

But last night a woman appeared to Cecero in a dream and delivered a message to him; “Today’s the day she’ll give you your gift…You’ll finally prove to her that you’re ready.” When he awoke he knew today would be different. What he didn’t know was that after this horrifying day, his life and the lives of his loved ones would be forever changed, and an unthinkable chain of events would soon take place; Events that will challenge their abilities, warp their realities, and threaten everything they hold sacred.

My Review:

                      I found this manga at AnimeNext in the dealers room. It looked pretty interesting so I bought a volume. I'm truthfully not a big fan of the cover. I don't like how it looks but I read the description anyway and I instantly bought it. It sounded really good and right up my alley. The characters were funny and I just really enjoyed the story. I'm upset that I didn't buy volumes two and three at the convention. My fault though, I was worried I wouldn't like it but I was wrong and now have to order it online and wait until it arrives at my door. If you like comedy, magic, fantasy, and adventure I highly suggest you take a look at this manga as well.

                     In this volume, Cecero starts of having just a normal day with his friend Sheko who is possessed by a demon. They go to a school for magic users. Cecero being of good breed and is very handsome has a huge fan club that likes to attack him with the human wave which for some reason he does not like. Besides the wave his day was going good. Then he gets attack which reveals something interesting about Cecero.

                   Cecero was a cool main character. I like how childish he could be. Not as much as Sheko but close enough. I liked his character a lot. Despite his childish demeanor at times he seems like a very mature strong character. I like that. I'm not always a fan of main characters being silly. I don't mind supporting haracters like Sheko as silly but not my main characters. I look forward to learning more bout him in the next volume. I absolutely love Sheko. He is my favorite character. He is just so cute and funny. I couldn't get enough of him. He's just too adorable and funny.  I love how goofy he gets when he's near his crush Kayko. I also found it really interesting that he was possessed by a demon but it didn't control him. I found him to be a very intriguing character. Kayko was interesting. I didn't see much of her but the few bits I did see were really cool. She's such a tough girl but when Cecero comes around she gets all fan girly. I think it's really funny. Poor Sheko. I liked all the characters I saw. I can't wait to see more of them especially Sheko. 

                   The plot is not much unique. It's another weird dream with hidden powers and so and so. It's done very well though so I wasn't bored in the slightest. So don't let the cliche plot bother you. All the details and characters are really unique and so much fun to watch. I may have not liked the cover but I did love the art on the inside. It's so good. I love how Sheko is drawn. He looks as cute as his personality is. I think Cecero looks cool too. He does look a bit girlish to me but some guys do so it's nothing really. Kayko is drawn really well too. I liked how all the characters were drawn. If you're unsure because of the cover give this volume a chance anyway.

                    Overall, I really enjoyed this manga. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. It was full of action and amazing characters. I enjoyed the characters the most. I do really recommend this manga if you love magic, fantasy, funny characters, and the supernatural. You will really enjoy this. I swear. I myself can't wait to get my hands on the next volume. I need to know what happens next.
