Books: Guin Saga: The Seven Magi Graphic Novel 1

I’m faced with a bit of a dilemma when it comes to The Seven Magi.

You’ll have a fine time either way, but you might enjoy The Seven Magi all the more if you have some idea of where it’s coming from.

You know what? Don’t hold back. Go pick up Magi, as it’ll be worth diving into now and re-savoring later when — not if — you read the novels. A good manga is worth your money no matter what its backstory, especially when it’s from an outfit of real taste and daring (like, say, Vertical, Inc.)
