it's sad black torch was cancelled 'cause i feel like it had the potential to be something great. alas, that was not the case. despite how rushed it was, which, you know, it's totally fair given the situation, i enjoyed it. the story was interesting, the art was beautiful, and it had a decent yet predictable ending. so, overall, a pretty good manga.

This was a great conclusion to the series. I just wished we could have more. I hope we get more manga from Tsuyoshi Takaki in the future, they are a huge talent. If you're looking for a manga similar to Akame ga Kill and Bleach, this is a great read.

Aujourd'hui je viens de terminer la série Black Torch avec l'ultime tome 5, et je suis heureuse et triste à la fois !
Je n'avais plus lu de shônen pendant plusieurs années, mais ces derniers temps quelques séries m'ont remise dans le bain. J'ai notamment découvert "Black Torch" de Tsuyoshi Takaki publié aux éditions Ki-oon

They've figured out what Amagi is doing and what his plan is, and then the fight basically comes to them. Jiro and Rago take the reins here, and everyone else is backup to help them get to the main fight.
It feels like maybe this series was cut short, because there was a lot of potential with these other characters, who could be considered main characters and plot lines were started for, and yet we didn't quite get enough. I really wanted to know more about them, honestly, and for the relationship to reach something more real. But there wasn't enough time to go further with them, I don't think.
And I don't mean that this was rushed, either, or that the characters weren't fleshed out. It feels more like they were fleshed out and then weren't given anywhere to go.
This volumes wraps things up relatively well, though. The big fight happens, and the team is made up, for the most part, and clearly needed. I will say that when Rago and Jiro form together, they look a lot like Venom.
This was a fun, short shonen series. I think there was more potential here than was given the space for, because I really wanted to know more about the side characters, in particular. But sometimes it can be nice to have a short ending to a shonen series, which are known to never end.

maka_xo's review against another edition
This was a pretty cool short manga series. The character designs were amazing and honestly this would do well as a short 13 episode anime series. With only 5 volumes you still get to see everyone's background story and their peroneal issues. It makes you want to know what happens to everyone's side story after the manga ends.

You know, I really enjoy this manga. Even though a lot is left unanswered (even the mangaka says this at the end), there's just a lot of heart put into it. It was a short manga, but well worth the read. Just a whole lotta fun and I'm so glad I have physical copies. The art is beautifully done. Even though the story isn't god-tier, it was still a good ride.
