Broken

Author: Touki Yanagimi (Author of Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai)

Illustrator: Zerogo Iwamoto

Label: Fantasia Bunko

Release Date: 20 August 2022

My Score: 3/5

The setting of this dark fantasy revolves around Yggdrasil, the tree that gives the world it’s light. One of the kingdoms of this world created 7 heroes, warriors who absorbed the fruits of Yggdrasil and gained mass power as a result. One day, Yggdrasil turned rotten and the world fell into darkness. Some people lost their sanity and became little more than beasts and the heroes went berserk. The story takes place 10 years after “the end of the world” as we follow Ioria. She’s the believed-to-be-dead princess of the kingdom that created the heroes. She was close to the heroes and was attacked by them during the end of the world. Her mother and older sister died and her younger half-sister betrayed her and left her in a ditch for dead. Now, Ioria is a darkness walker who can get close to the darkest parts of the world without losing her sanity. In a desperate situation, she is rescued by Igor who has spent the last 10 years protecting his country from the rotten beasts. He mistakes her to be his lost princess Fleiria and swears to protect her. Ioria does not correct this misunderstanding and instead takes advantage of it to further her own goals: to put the heroes who still rampage the world to rest. They join the team being put together by Celestius, the current queen and Ioria’s traitorous sister, to take down one of the heroes.

This is a dark fantasy with a lot of characters and action. Sadly, it didn’t fully work for me as I didn’t care that much for the characters, especially those who weren’t Ioria or Igor, so I didn’t care much for their long battle scenes with narration on their backstories. There’s also a lot of deaths and those weren’t very impactful. There was never any mention of the characters after they died so they just felt like they were there for shock value. There are a couple of characters who are built up before their deaths but they aren’t mentioned after them and they weren’t in the colour group illustration so when they were introduced it was pretty obvious that they were going to die so there wasn’t much shock value there either, though it was pretty brutal.

I think the book did succeed with it’s two lead characters though. It took me a while to like them but I was surprised by how attached to them I became by the climax. I also quite liked the writing style and how the flashbacks were done. It was really good at drawing me into the scenes. Yanagimi wrote in the afterword that this was something that they wrote because they wanted to and they weren’t expecting for it to get published and it shows. There’s a lot of love that went into crafting the setting and the two leads and I could tell that they cared about the side characters and giving them each a distinct introduction and backstory and it made me like the volume more as a result.

This book ended up being just okay for me. I didn’t hate it but I was sad that I didn’t fall in love with it either. I don’t know if there will be a second book. With the set up of defeating all of the other heroes, there’s certainly more material there, but the ending felt conclusive for it’s two leads and I don’t think it’s crying out for a sequel and I’m not sure I would read one. It feels like it works well enough of on it’s own and the series seems like it would get stale after a while. But hey, I could have said the same thing about Taimadou Gakuen and Yanagimi pulled it off there so who’s to say.

If you like dark fantasy and a cast with lots of overpowered characters with unique abiltiies and a story that features a lot of action, I’d definitely recommend this one.
