Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (otherwise known as Legend of Legendary Heroes) catches your eye with a ridiculously corny title and then proceeds to take you on an amazing ride.
The setting of this is fairly simple. It takes place in a world where magic is commonplace. Each Kingdom has their own magic though, making it easy for everyone to figure out where they are from based off of the magic they use. Of course like anything this world is full of war and corrupt officials. And the characters in this book set off to fix it (some more reluctant than others).
The characters in this are amazing and really where the book shines. The main character Ryner is portrayed as a person with no ambitions. He sleeps all day and lacks the motivation to do anything. His favorite thing is really just taking naps. Really I can totally connect to that. However, despite this he really is an amazing magic caster and has "Alpha Stigma" (a type of Magical eye in this series). It is because of his "Alpha Stigma" that he is ostracized and treated like a monster. So naturally, he hates conflict and feels that everyone should just take naps. After all war is started by those with ambitions, so if they were all like him, with no ambition, then there would be no wars.
This makes him a very interesting person to Sion. Sion is the "best friend" of Ryner. Unlike Ryner though, he is the exact opposite. He has ambitions, to become King, and he puts his effort into everything. It is probably Ryner's lack of motivation to do anything that attracts Sion to his side. He is also very methodical and tries to have a strategy for everything. Something which Ryner does not appreciate, especially when it involves Ryner doing work. Reading about these two and how their personalities clash together makes this very entertaining.
The last main would be Ferris. Ferris is probably the strongest out of the trio. And without her, Ryner and Sion would not be where they are now. She has a sharp sense of humor and her comments towards Sion and Ryner are often full of insults towards them, but at the same time it feels like playful banter.
All three has personalities that seem like they would never get along, but somehow it works. There are other characters, like Kiefer, that also really help add to the story.
Overall, this book takes a different approach to these "Heroes off to save the world" type stories and really makes you look forward to the next volume.
