  魔術が街を救う
  Witchcraft saves the city
  This review contains spoilers. そちらの作品に関しましてはと言いましたらですと、昔アニメで話題になっておりますので存在自体は知っております。とある男子高校生がある日シスターと名乗る少女と出会い新たな人生が始まるというバトル漫画です。ただの男子高校生がなんならかの形で魔術を手に入れて街の危機を救うという展開はとても興奮しますし、主人公やその仲間たちを応援したくなります！

  This review contains spoilers. Speaking of those works, they have become a hot topic in anime in the past, so I know they exist. It's a battle comic where a male high school student meets a girl who calls himself his sister one day and begins a new life. I'm very excited about the development where just a male high school student obtains magic in some form and saves the city from crisis, and I want to support the main character and his friends!

  ずっと好きな作品
  Works I've always liked
  This review contains spoilers. この作品を語る上では、やはり上条当麻は外せない。一見捻くれ者で無気力だが、目の前で困ってる人が居たら絶対に放っておかない。自分の痛みなんて顧みずに、病的に他人ばかりを優先して突っ走れる。前時代的な主人公像かもしれないが、やはりこういうのがいい。人を助ける事においてはひたすらバカ真っ直ぐな上条が大好きで、この作品を読み続けてしまう。

  This review contains spoilers. Toma Kamijo cannot be missed when talking about this work. At first glance, they are twisted and lethargic, but if someone is in trouble right in front of you, never leave them alone. I can pathologically prioritize only others without worrying about my own pain. It may be an image of the protagonist from a previous era, but this is still nice. I love Kamijo, who is just stupid and straight when it comes to helping people, and I keep reading this work.

  良作
  Good work
  ライトノベル『とある魔術の禁書目録』の漫画版ですね。ライトノベル版は刊行スピードが早いのと、こちらが月刊誌における連載ということもあって、ストーリー展開はかなり遅く感じてしまうかもしれませんが、その分かなり丁寧な仕上がりになっています。また、他の方も言われている通り、1巻から現在にかけて画力の向上が著しく(モサモサ上条さんからスタイリッシュ上条さんへ)、大変読みやすくなっていると共に読み応えもとてもあります。とてもお勧めです。

  It's a comic version of the light novel “To Aru Magi: A List of Forbidden Books.” The light novel edition has a fast publication speed, and since this is a serialization in a monthly magazine, you may feel that the story development is quite slow, but the finish is quite careful. Also, as others have said, drawing power has improved markedly from volume 1 to the present (from Mosamosa Kamijo-san to Stylish Kamijo-san), making it very easy to read, and also very responsive. I highly recommend it.
