Time of Review: Finished v6

Gakusen Toshi Asterisk is another battle academy-esque story which takes place on a fairly closed city which is essentially a big island which has six academies. They generally focus on different things or have different strengths (eg R&D, women only, specific types of combat) so there is some contrast between their goals and aims. The main character is fairly powerful but has restrictions placed on his current strength which he is looking to resolve.

The characters are written decently, and although there is some common types, ... more>> (princess, childhood friend etc) all of the characters have their own personal goals and motives instead of gravitating around the main character out of romantic interest. The story also has a good level of intrigue as the city has a relatively dark side on top of the bright and ideally depicted academies. The fight sequences are written fairly well (both in the interschool competitions and outside) and the world building is certainly not bad but there is nothing particularly new. If you like JP academy/battle harems you could do alot worse than Gakusen Toshi Asterisk. <<less

We follow a MC who has had his powers seal.. No thats not a spoiler it happens within a chapter.. :/
But anyways The story is interesting, and we get to see what would happen if a corporation or some kind of business minded entity manages to control most of the worlds countries. The unique setting and story makes this a great read, the characters are pretty, and well fleshed out.

I recommend this to anyone who likes fights.. And slice of lifes ;3
