I've really been enjoying the Ishura series so far. It features a uniquely engaging world with a wide cast of cool, distinct characters, each with their own personality and fighting style. One of the things I appreciate most is the multiple point-of-view storytelling, reminiscent of Narita Ryougo's works like Baccano! or Durarara!!. It creates a dynamic narrative where every character has a role to play, and no one feels like a throwaway.
However, the one thing that consistently hinders my reading experience is the prose—specifically, how the author handles character names and titles in dialogue and narration. Many characters in Ishura have elaborate titles attached to their names, like "Psianop the Inexhaustible Stagnation" from Volume 7. While these titles sound cool the first few times, they’re often repeated in full every time the character is mentioned, even during fast-paced conversations involving multiple characters.
This can seriously bog down the pacing and make dialogue feel unnecessarily tedious. When half a page is filled with long, grandiose names, it becomes harder to stay immersed in the moment. I get that the titles serve to highlight the mythic nature of these characters, but at some point, it starts to feel excessive.
