Synopsis by One Manga


The world is in mortal peril. Sir Noi Crezant, the Lizard Knight, has been sent to gain the aid of the great warrior Amamiya Yuuhi in hopes of finding the Princess Samidare and protecting the planet from the incredible 'Biscuit Hammer' poised to crack the Earth in two. Unfortunately Yuuhi wants no part of it, and the Princess doesn't prove to be the shining 'hero of justice' role model that Noi had hoped for.

The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer is a very light hearted series with a set of very interesting characters. The world is about to be destroyed by a giant Biscuit Hammer falling from the sky, and its up to the 12 Beast Knights to stop the mage from doing it. The mage himself has 12 golems which he uses as his underlings.

Yuuhi is a regular college student who could care less if the world is destroyed. When he learns that Princess Samidare only wants to save the world just so she can destroy it herself, he becomes interested and teams up with her. The battle becomes 3 ways, with the Golems vs Beast Knights vs Yuuhi + Samidare for the sake of planet.

The "supernatural" is kept to a very minimum in this series. Each knight is given a small psychic ability called "domain control", which allows them to manipulate the space around them. From here they use their own creative talents to stretch or control their space as they see fit, creating lots of different ways to use them. Since there isn't much unnatural forces at work in the series, the story is very believable and doesn't go too far in scales of power.

What really helps LBH stand out from other series is the characters. They're just fantastic. Oh, and the artstyle is just a personal favorite.

I kind of wish Yuuhi worked for major martial skills like Kenichi, and not inherited them :/...

He still trained his ass off to be able to use his powers.

Not enough time for that :S If he didn't inherit those skills then he would be dead by now owo

He's using both his strategic brain and all the exercise he gets from digging holes to maximize his use of inherited skills. He's doing fine.

[Axx]

Gotta remember that for the guy he inherited them from it was all NATURAL TALENT in the first place.

Why does yuuhi still go to school if he is planning to die whether he loses or wins against animus? Wouldn't it be better to spend more time training?

Why does ANY anime character go to school if they're so busy trying to participate in WORLD ALTERING BATTLES?

Any 3D person would quit. 2D logic does not apply.

Chapter 53 has been indie-scanlated by a fan in 4chan.
Grab this insanely epic chapter in which crazy things happen before the thread expires.

I like how the author is giving each character equal amounts of attention. Unlike certain mainstream manga, haxors power levels aren't a basis for character recurrence. It's really a nice change of pace.

/a/non finishes 53.

Looks into the past of Animus and Animas.

Jesus, I actually started this series again and found out it isn't as bad as I previously thought. Yeah, equal and appropriate story time to each character. The loses (deaths and etc.) weren't so cliche and had a definite drama follow up. There aren't many questions to be asked about the characters or how their history brought them to be. Nearly everyone's history connects to a certain point and explains the question of "Why." Heck, even with all the action and drama, there's appropriate comedy to accompany the story. The character designs aren't the best, but they aren't the worst. While it follows a typical Anime/Manga bandwagon, again, it just seems too appropriate for this particular series. Everything fits nicely, besides the fact that almost every character is a homicidal crazed maniac behind those smiles of theirs.

Probably a 3 out of 5 in my books. It'd be 4/5 if this weren't some 4Chan *** trail follow up series.

[Rime]

Yeah, It took me a while to get into this series too, but probably less people to tell me that I should like it.

I think I remember Kitae once saying he tried to persuade One Manga staff to scan more of a certain series, but they didn't approve. Something to do with copyright and how they respect them too much, I don't remember. Other sites, I suppose, do it regardless. Perfect example, Manga Fox.

It was Yotsuba. They were being huge whiners about licensing.
