Review of 'Gate 7.' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A Kyoto enthusiast, Chikahito Takamoto is in his second year of high school. He transported to a mystery world during a trip to his favorite city. Sakura, Tachibana, and Hana are the trio he meets there. His immunity from their powers makes them believe he is no ordinary teenager. Chikahito's life changed when Hana chooses him.

There is never any time for Chikahito to reflect on what happened around him or for the reader to breathe. He just goes from one part of the story to another. I’m thinking he was a tad too accepting, which is fine for a more comedic manga, but not for one that seems so serious.
His relationship with Hana is so vague. Like why she pick him? And how He is like her?
It is confusing to read a character’s future regarding his role in this war.
Let's see what happens in the next volume.
If you ask me if you should try this manga, I’d say sure. In terms of story, it is a 2.5, but in terms of artwork, it is a 3.
