Synopsis
The Seven Deadly Sins, a group of legendary knights who conspired to overthrow the kingdom of Liones, were said to have been eradicated by the Holy Knights, although rumors about them being alive continue to persist. Ten years later, the Holy Knights stage a coup d'état and capture the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. Elizabeth Liones, the third princess, sets out on a journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins, and to enlist their help in taking back the kingdom.

Fun manga to read. The character designs remind me of bits from Hunter x Hunter, DBZ, and Bleach, Final Fantasy 9 and some others. This proves I've seen too much lol.

Meliodas looks like a cross between Gon and Zidane. Powerwise, reminds me of Koinzell from Ubell Blatt.
Ban looks like a cross between Hisoka of HxH, Alucard from Hellsing and Greed from FMA.
Geera looks like Illumi of HxH. (Then again she's is a typical fox face.)
Sloth looks like Killua of HxH, Horohoro of Shaman King and some other snippets from here and there.
Gowther reminds me of Uryu Ishida from Bleach.
Dianne reminds me of Biscuit from HxH. (Both have pony tails, dislike being big and both have hammers.)
Demon designs look a bit like FMA creatures.

I finally found time to get all caught up. Better late than never. Ugh, distracted by real life.

What a great set of chapters to just read back to back.

I guess I should have known that Helbram was a fairy due to his shapeshifting powers. I just assumed at first that it was for comic effect, but it makes sense in hindsight.

What I love about this series is that the fights aren't as dragged out as Bleach or Naruto. The flow and the pacing is consistent and keeps you interested like One Piece. Most series have become too saturated with exposition to the point where it becomes tedious. Its not like every other Shonen series out there which is a bit of a relief and a nice break from series that have individual fights that are five chapters long. You don't have to ask yourself before jumping into the latest chapter, "Are ____ and ____ still fighting?" or "Is it over yet?" We don't need to be spoonfed answers to our questions, but its nice to get bits and pieces to tease us of the truth.

I might actually break tradition for once and watch the anime when it comes out. I've grown to just stick to the source material. Its going to be interesting seeing these fights in action.

What a wonderful shot.

Understandably minimalist due to labor and costs but still just set perfectly. Cue the violins or the orchestra as the fight between King and Helbram draws to a close. (Though of course I doubt the anime would even be able to reach this point of the manga, but its nice to imagine.)

better to be distracted by real life than the other way around XD
I didnt think Helbram was a fairy either. I mean, up to that we point we have only met two fairies!
I feel the same way about the anime. I vow to watch episode one at least! If it looks nice and they stay with the plot, I'll try to stick to it. For Naruto, I only watched the anime for when naruto chased after sasuke the first time sweatdrop

That was well said and I totally agree~ Very few shonen manga have such good pacing that I wouldnt mind going back to reread it. I like it when you can go through any of the chapters and know what arc you are on or when it features a certain character
Reborn was really frustrating to sit through- the fights were long and their powers didnt make any sense and it was dragged on in terms of fighting and the plot. when it ended/got cancelled, i was pissed and relieved at the same time

New chapter uploaded today...oh man, they are gonna showdown

I dropped Reborn during the Future Arc. I just lost interest. I enjoyed everything before then though. It was just wow. It takes a lot for me to just really lose interest like that. I've put series on hold but never really dropped them. lol

You're an angel, you know that?

And this fight definitely does look promising. I'm sure Hendricksen has more demon powers than everyone else.

redface It's not like i'm happy or anything!

anyway, I wouldnt be surprised if hendricksen drank some sorta demon blood elixer. he is the ringleader after all, and stronger than the other great holy knights

Was anyone else going "WTF?!" when the saw this picture at the end of chpt28. Despite the somewhat recycled personality of the main protagonist and what not, I do say that this was a very nice twist in the mystery of who Melodias really is.
