Replacement for the VN
"And so the king protected her country
But the country did not protect the king."
As Vsauce said, most heroes are ordinary people, who emerge as heroes in particular situations. But what if that ordinary person was someone who had been bestowed with the power found in the advantage of accumulation. Would they still be an ordinary person? Even through despair and misery, what if the powerful touch of fate made them be the right person at the right time. How would their honor as a hero flourish? Through Shirou and Saber we are told a tale of juxtaposition, where the faculties of being a hero are made manifest, and the nuances of the undertaking necessary for heroic action see a light of survivor's guilt and selfless resentment bond and intertwine to show the sides of their stories and how their contextual approach leads to a heroic path, one where not only humanity, but another self is at arms reach. How will someone like Shirou fare against his deep-rooted angst, which leads to his desire for the salvation of others and clash with Saber's own perspective? And more importantly, how does their place in the present, alien to both as people who should by all no means be there, yet brought forth, be affected by their ideals and their approach towards a goal that seems similar, then differentiated by learnt honor and thus compromise with the future? Who do they want to be heroes to, but also, who are they heroes for? If the holy grail is a manifestation of desire, how will their honor be dictated by seeking salvation at their expense to prove themselves to the things they hold dear, and how does the scope of that which they seek to save compare to the salvation they find in each other?
With Fate route completed, I can't help but feel heavily invested in the rest of these characters journeys and characterization. Although it's mostly setup for what's to come, and thus not always engaging or encompassed of riveting sequences and interactions, it's still a properly paced, well accomplished moment for its larger story. The last stretch is especially engrossing (as one would expect), but it's comforting to see that it still sticks the landing despite stakes being at a lower point compared to what I would assume they will come to be in the next chapters of this story. Emotional moments still hit, plot points work, dynamics flow compellingly, and characters have interesting things to say and do, for which it is an important step towards its construction.
I don't think I have any real gripes with it besides the clear fact that it's a back loaded arc and ofc the fact that Archer NEEDS MORE SCREEN TIME GUYS, CMON.
With the developments of the last day, and considering how the Shirou/Saber dynamic works in favor of the novel's themes, I gotta say, I CANNOT wait to read more into Shirou and Kirei's dynamic, I feel like there is so much potential there in their ideological clash.
Considering I've only read Umi and Dies Irae in the realm of VNs, the music factor was a really welcome change of pace considering how their respective soundtracks work for their novels. I wouldn't say I love the OST, but it works when and where it has to so I can't really complain. There are some standouts which make it really worth it though.
There was something akin to a switch in the last day of the route which really clicked with me, and if UBW and HF feel like that in respect to this first route, I think I can really see the vision.

So I love the show, I love the franchise/the series. My hubby had the manga for Fate/Stay for some time and I thought now was the right time, with the lockdown, no libraries. Time to start another new series! This was terrific fun though of course I knew everything that happened. Haha. I love seeing all the characters again and I cannot wait for revelations I know to start appearing. I loved the designs of the characters and especially the servants are well done. There is lots of action. It is just the first volume but we already have seen Saber, Lancer, Archer, and Berserker. YAS! The volume ends on a cliffhanger and ARGH, I need to read 2 soon!
Oh, and I need to get my mind out of the gutter but Saber's barely visible sword reminded me of something else... Teehee.

Nel complesso é molto carino questo primo volume, un po' scontato ma essendo il primo ci sta.
Finale inaspettato che mi ha messo un bisogno immenso di sapere che succede dopo! Non vedo l'ora di poter leggere i prossimi volumi☺️

Mysterious and tense~ Fans of the anime will not be disappointed.
May 4, 2013
As has been said, the manga artwork isn't the best, though certainly serviceable- but this is an incredible story with memorable and exquisitely developed characters, and you have the Unlimited Bladeworks route of the visual novel (my favourite) explored in this series (as opposed to the anime say, which broadly covers the first route, Fate), which I think makes it worth the read. There is also a (very good) Unlimited Bladeworks movie for which this manga can serve as an expansion for the hurried or omitted plot points.
Below is part of my review of the original visual novel (which would be ideal to read, but is an eroge unless you get a censored version, whereas this is a standard manga with broad appeal):
It's funny how I felt utterly trapped by exactly the multitude of paths through Fate/Stay Night. Each and every ending requires a deeply cutting sacrifice from you as an invested reader. For me it's with the Unlimited Bladeworks route's 'Good Ending', which is still in my opinion the best one, but along the way must bring Ilya's end (which is a deeply unfortunate constant) in the worst possible way. Not only is there tragedy to siphon tears from you in every scenario, but the knowledge of what possibilities have gone before and may come after necessarily heightens the emotional toll at every juncture until it all becomes overwhelming.
All this Nasu manages to do without appearing the slightest bit manipulative. Though intricately thought out, the real strength of Fate/Stay Night is still what a powerful experience it is- it makes you feel. I would recommend anyone the visual novel highly. Of course, this is originally an 'eroge', so age restrictions apply unless you go for a censored version. But it's a grave mistake to decide from such labelling that this is just pornography or even a wish-fulfillment fantasy- it can be, but it's so much more than that, as any reader (or player if you prefer) will see (to the point where you forget what it's supposed to be).

I really liked the concept of this Manga. Despite not liking the protagonist, I enjoyed reading it. Arturia is something quite interesting in this.

No better way to pass the time waiting for jury duty than reading a good manga. I’ve seen the series and wanted more detail, so I figured id give the manga a try and I was not disappointed. The only thing the anime does better is the action scenes but the manga doesn’t have bad cgi like the original 2006 series does.

I've known about this series for a long time now, and I've only scratched the surface a little. this manga is my first real engagement with the series, and I'm not too impressed. one shouldn't ever judge a series on the first volume (or episode or even a season of a show), but there isn't much here to encourage me forward.

Having been in the Fate/ fandom for a while now, I've always meant to try to go back and read the first manga series originally released by TokyoPop in English, and I'm going to get through what I can.
I don't think this was a bad intro into the world of Fate/Stay Night. I've not yet watched the original anime by Studio DEEN either (because, well, Studio DEEN,) but having gone through the VN, I do feel like this adaptation is serviceable for anyone who hasn't read the VN or watched the original anime. It moves quickly, the art is decent, and it tries its best to explain what is honestly convoluted lore. Having watched Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, I do feel like this isn't far off the sequence of events presented there either (and I do recognize why that is.)
All in all, it isn't bad, and I can see why the manga gained a newer cult following when it was first released in English for those who hadn't heard of F/SN before.

Want to read
April 24, 2009I love Fate/Stay Night visual novel and as a fan I bought the first volume of manga, expecting a decent book. Well, the art's not very good, when compared to the VN, really horrible. As for the story, I know it well and I went through the book quicky at first (going through my favourite passages from VN) before actually reading it. I don't expect buying further volumes, though, and I may want to watch the anime in the future. But I'm not sure about this, I really recommend the VN over this mediocre-looking book. A good example of a difference is the first fight between Lancer and Archer that is awesome in the VN but really uninteresting in the manga. Oh, and thanks to Tokyopop for the color pages, although I don't much like the way Saber is drawn. And Toshaka looks just as bad. Illyasviel is OK. Yes, I'm disappointed. Tsukihime manga looks better than this.

Fate/Stay Night is quite a popular anime and it has a lot of franchise going on even until today. I could pretty much understand why after watching and reading it (the anime was a little dragging for me though... too slow!). The characters of the fighters and some of the summoners were very interesting!
So... Fate/Stay Night is about a contest between seven magicians who will summon representatives for the war for the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is a precious object that can grant the winner's wish. The representatives who are actually heroes from the past brought to the present must fight each other to the death. The main character is Shiro Emiya, a kind and hard-working student. He never knew about the Holy Grail until he accidentally summons a representative, Saber, and is thus qualified to join the war.

The description for this series is TERRIBLE. I didn't read this series until now because it sounded boring to me. I only recently decided to try this series because I've loved the character designs for this series since I saw them, and wanted to know if the series that they belonged to was any good. From this volume, I'm not too sure if it's going to live up to the hype. The plot in this volume moved slowly, and what we were given only seemed like it'd take up part of episode one. It didn't seem to go anywhere. The art also wasn't that great, which also cost it some points. I mean, it's not bad, but nothing great. The anime's art looks MUCH better, and I'm still going to give it a chance, but as a manga this wasn't anything special. I just hope it improves with volume 2.

I'm glad I picked this up instead of continuing the anime...
Do yourself a favor and read this series first before attempting to watch it in anime form. Thanks to a review posted on MAL - after 7 episodes in - I switched to reading the light novels and the whole story made much more sense.
This Volume kicks off with the introductions to Sabre and Tohsaka - which is awesome + an appearance by another Master which just makes this whole book that much more exhilarating. I docked a star not because of the storyline but primarily due to the artwork - which in my opinion does appear rather simplistic in some instances - though by no means bad.
Its a good read and am looking forward to more volumes

Fate/Stay Night the light novel by Nishiwaki Datto
This light novel series was one of my favorite reads of all time. Fate/Stay Night is a philosophical story written about heroism and righteousness, where a holy grail that can grant any wish is renounced into the world every 10 years, heroic spirits are summoned to seize that grail along with their human masters. Within seeking the grail, heroic spirits clash one another in hope to obtain their wishes, however, the protagonist Shirou Emiya seeks to destroy that very greed that is the holy grail. Shirou is the idealism of heroism, striving to be a hero of justice throughout the story he simply only wants to believe in his ideals, even if they bring him a life of pain and suffering. For what he wants is to make every human happy, however, Nishiwaki, the author, pushes for the idea that selfless heroes are tragic heroes and cannot save everyone. Nishiwaki pushes for the idea that one person has to suffer for the happiness of others, that simple idea that one person always draws the shorter end of the stick for the sake of others. Shirou is the idealism of selflessness. Saved by the selflessness of a hero of justice at a traumatic age, he wants to become just like that same hero that saved him, not regarding to it’s false identity derived from a despaired soul. Shirou is the idealism of beauty, after seeing true beauty through his own eyes he never disbelieved in his own ideals, giving for a beautifully inspiring read. A read that could affect you for the rest of your life. Fate/stay night had everything required of a masterpiece with it’s amazingly written cast, interesting symbolistic illustrations, and it’s deep connections between each and every character reiterating it’s meaningful moral of fate. That fate that every person in the world is bound to: their own beliefs.

Fate Stay Night as a Visual Novel, however over the years the three different routes of the novel been made into different animes. I have seen Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works and I know a little about the other routes. From what I can tell so far this manga is following the Stay Night route.
I do prefer Unlimited Blade Work so far, but I'm curious to see where this goes.
Within this Volume, Shiro is introduced along with Rin = the main two characters of the Fate Stay Night. Later on, in the day Shiro stays behind at school to help clean some of the Clubs rooms. He then stumbles into a fight between Lancer and Archer before being killed by Lancer. Despite being stabbed in the heart by Lancer's spear he wakes up unarmed. He heads home before being attacked once more. in trying to get away he is knocked into an old shed. As he is about to be killed again, he summons Saber who fends off Lancer. Lancer flees before Saber injuries Archer who has just arrived.
Most of the volume follows the plot of episode 1 of Unlimited Blade Work, however in Unlimited Blade Work, Archer is not injured. I am wondering if the manga takes pieces from all three routes or just follows Stay Night.

Actual rating: 3.5
I've seen the anime for this everywhere and yet never watched it. The readathon I'm participating in, the buzzword readathon, makes it so I need to read books with night in the title. Day 1 is today and I wanted to read a whole book before the end of the day so this felt like the perfect choice.
My interest has definitely peaked by the premise and plot. The characters that are introduced are great so far. Might even start watching the anime as I feel the art might appeal to me more. The main character is a little bland but I really like Saber so I want to continue reading the manga anyways.

Since Goodreads doesn't categorize visual novels as books, I left a review in the manga section.
Is it worth reading? Absolutely. While the Fate/Stay Night visual novel isn't a masterpiece or even great, it's a solid read. I liked the Heaven's Feel route the most due to its interesting concepts. As someone new to visual novels, I found it chaotically beautiful.
For the other routes, I recommend watching the anime adaptation at first. This will allow you to appreciate the source material (the visual novel) and the quality of the adaptations. The characters are well-written, which has sparked my interest in exploring more Japanese fiction.

4 Читав візуальну новелу і доки що тільки першу гілку "Fate". Так затягнути історію ще треба постаратись, автори ніби доклали усіх зусиль щоб я ніколи не осилив цю візуальну новелу. Маленька кількість спрайтів та задників дуже втомлює, остів, нажаль там не більше. Сама історія доволі тривіальна, я б навіть сказав нудна, а мотивація головного героя, його світогляд і т.д якщо розглядати новелу в відриві від Fate/zero просто смішні. Можливо новела ще розкриється через 100 годин, побачимо. Поки що мені не дуже сподобалось.
July 30, 2020
reread: Es ist schon lange her, dass ich Fate/Stay Night gelesen habe und so habe ich nicht nur einige Details darum, wie alles begann, vergessen, sondern vor allem wohl auch, dass ich den Zeichenstil nicht wirklich schön finde. Nichtsdestotrotz mag ich die Geschichte und freu mich schon auf meinen Liebling Rider.

Content and trigger warnings: fire, stabbing, gore
Fantastic artwork but it cuts out a lot of important setup. I know F/SN has a bit of a slow start but setting up the dynamic with Sakura and Shinji Matou is important

Being able to experience the Fate story in manga form is a real treat. I love how Rin and Shirou just come to life within the story and seemingly float off the page. Truly captivating stuff.

I loved the fate Route & it made me cry ngl, UBW was cool too but Heavens Feel was awful and had lots of filler

"Mi deseo de convertirme en un héroe... equivalía al despreciable deseo de que exista la maldad."
Fate/stay night es una novela visual japonesa, que se publica el 30 de enero de 2004, y que a partir de esto y, debido a la enorme popularidad de su universo y conceptos, ha sido adaptada a diferentes medios a lo largo de los años, como es el caso de series de anime, películas y por supuesto, manga.
Esta es la historia de Shiro Emiya, un joven que ha perdido a su familia en un terrible incendio, a su padre adoptivo tiempo después y que ahora se ve involucrado en una Guerra por el Santo Grial, una guerra que se encargará de poner a prueba sus ideales y fortaleza, descubriendo que es en realidad uno de los siete maestros y que el desafío será más duro de lo que aparenta.
Bueno, en este primer volumen tenemos al típico protagonista que desea ser un héroe y salvar a todos a cualquier costo; padres muertos; aspiraciones elevadas; un chico/mago especial y a su vez, bastante común, como notamos entonces, claramentente no hay nada extraño, ni extraordianario fuera del cliché fantástico que todos conocemos, sin embargo, la premisa en sí es interesante, asimismo lo es cómo funcionan las cosas en esta guerra, pues existe en este mundo la hechicería, por consiguiente hay magos, donde igualmente existen siete maestros, y por lo tanto siete sirvientes, que son espírtus de héroes que existieron, divididos en siete clases: Saber (espadachín), Lancer (lancero), Rider (jinete), Berserker (guerrero), Archer (arquero), Caster (hechicero) y Assassin (asesino); estos están encargados de proteger y asegurar la victoria, mediante la lucha, a sus maestros. Y eso es todo hasta este punto lo que nos plantea la historia, ya que todo ha sucedido muy rápido y con explicaciones un poco vagas.
Ahora bien, el dibujo, por otro lado, me parece bueno, bastante claro, evitando, por el momento, que me pierda durante las escenas de acción, así que, ya veremos cómo se desarrollan más adelante los personajes y las situaciones, por lo mientras me ha resultado entretenido.

i was looking for short series manga books and i seen this and i picked it.
Asia, modern time. during the 5th holy grail war.
the conflict is the Holy grail war were seven magi master and and seven servants fight to the death for the holy grail.
Emiya is dynamic. He was cowardly, He's like a zombie, now he is brave. pages 185 &186 Emiya blocked and got "killed" instead of his servant.

Asia, modern time. during the 5th holy grail war.
