The Genius Magician who Sees the Rainbow

I’ve read to Chapter 34 so far:

It’s like Infinite Mage + Helmut. A child who has lived a nearly feral life, who has a talent for visualizing magic, loses the ones he loves and goes out into the bigger world to explore and learn more about himself, emotions, magic, and get revenge upon the people who have killed his friends and made siblings.

The drawing style is rough, but the not terrible. The story is a little simple but the magic system has been fairly cohesive. The characters have slightly stunted dialogue but it does the job. The fighting is so so, but the story about the world and what he learns is more exciting anyway.

The world as a background is honestly a little weird. Reminds me of something like Ergo Proxy where you have these separated city states that don’t seem to talk to each other? But maybe this is just how the world seems from the view of an orphan child.

I don’t think this story particularly excels at anything, but I like the focus about the MC learning about feelings and learning to deal with trauma, grief and building relationships. I’m going to stick to it and see if it holds my attention, but so far I think it’s pretty decent. Enough to keep on reading at least.

Overall, I think it’s about 6.5/10 or 7/10 but I think it holds my attention and I’m willing to continue reading.

If you like magic mixed with certain bits of contemporary tech (mostly cars, guns, etc) and a story with a slower self assured pacing, and themes of learning and building relationships with a lot of violence in it, then this is probably worth looking at.
