With the exception of a few comedies, like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, or Cromartie High School, manga and anime primarily set in high school absolutely suck.

The reason for this is simple enough; of all the exciting, interesting places to base a story, high school is just about the worst. Choosing this as a setting is simply pandering to one's audience, nothing more.

However, despite so much working against it, "Veritas" manages to pull this off. This is no ordinary school; it's a place for instructing exceptional fighters, set up by an organization called Reunion, which has mastered biotechnology and robotics at ...

Mixed Feelings

Veritas is an action manhwa that contains a lot of common themes. That isn’t what makes it great. What makes it great at the themes it subverts. Where this manhwa shines are the refreshing protagonist and the good fight scenes.

What makes the protagonist, Ma Gangryong, refreshing? He’s a common action comic hero – dense, always looking to fight the strong, been taught by a powerful master, etc. However, the author built on this strong point – he’s basically a violent punk that just loves fighting.

No, really that’s him to a ‘tee’. He doesn’t care about school, doesn’t have any love interests, and the only reason ...

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS

One Line Review: Don't waste your time.

So this is my first manga review, and I only felt compelled to write one because I wanted to give potential readers a different opinion of the OVERALL series than the Top Reviews do. Honestly, I have no idea how they would rate it so highly, if they actually finished it.

I decided to read this series since I thought it would be similar to The Breaker, and was well rated by the Top Reviews. As you can tell by my score, I did not like it and hope to spare other readers from wasting their ... time. Actually the manga was quite decent ..... up to a certain point. I'll briefly list what I thought was good, and what was not.

Pros:
- The Art was good
- A MC who is sort of arrogant and enjoys fighting
- How important events that played out in the past of the school, gradually get revealed from many characters point of view. This provides some intrigue and advancement to the plot, as events gradually build up to a supposed "final fight(s)"

Cons:
- MC is absent from considerable portions of story. He also does not get into as many fights as you might expect.
- Quite a few plot holes and nonsensical things throughout story
- Although it's a fighting manga, I believe that there were quite a few things that could be resolved through some conversation. It's like these characters are too stupid to talk to one another and realize that their goals are maybe not so different.
- Many characters have pretty stupid/trivial reasons for their actions throughout story. Bringing me to my next point, and why I rated this manga so poorly:
- The ENDING WAS S**T. THE WORST ENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN in manga or anime. I may have rated this manga a 6 or 7, if it wasn't for the utterly garbage ending starting from maybe CH 78-79. SPOILERS BELOW...

SPOILERS NOW: So out of nowhere, one of the main characters decides to personally kill pretty much the entire school including their friends, for some stupid reason. Not only will this nonsense rub you the wrong way, but this has the additional effect of not allowing ANY of the fights you were expecting from the "final fights" of the Reunion students vs Traditional students, that you thought was going to happen just a chapter before. And finally, the character that will fight this other character, just barely starts the fight before the manga abruptly ends. Additionally you should know that the manga was rushed near the end and cancelled. So there will not be any sequel, further locking in this garbage ending.

So I don't recommend you read this manga. I hope I have helped some people save their time.
