Forester
A Manga I'm Debating Whether to Recommend (lol)
The protagonist, Yuto (Yuto Nakatani), is granted what seems like a useless, unfortunate skill: [Absorption]. However, it turns out to be the ultimate cheat skill that allows him to 'steal opponents' abilities and skills to make them his own.' This is a 'rags-to-riches' story where the protagonist, pushed to the bottom and trampled upon, explosively grows by absorbing enemy powers one after another, overwhelming formidable foes. It takes a completely opposite route from the typical 'hero defeats the demon lord' narrative. After being abandoned by his classmates, Yuto is saved by the demon lord's daughter, Melia. He then resolves to fight on the 'demon side,' turning against the cruel empire that summoned them and his former classmates who abandoned him. The relentless desire for revenge and the dark worldview from an unconventional perspective are major draws. However, while the story and development are interesting, personally, I feel the author's art skills haven't improved, and they might have learned to cut corners by drawing sloppily. There are also many characters, so distinguishing them (personally) is difficult. I'm debating whether to recommend it (lol)
