Pretty much the 1st novel adapted into 2 manga. I'd add some more pages, some scenes felt rushed, but other than that, the best adaptation so far of Orphen is in this manga. Why not a 10, though? Well, along with a few rushed scenes, I didn't like Black Tiger's redesign and the girls in this were a bit sexualized, Cleo is not supposed to be curvy ffs. I don't have much to say about this, to be honest, it's just the best adaptation of the light novel. Read this if you don't wanna read a book (although being nearly 200 pages long, i.e. nota lengthy book) or if you didn't like the first 4-ish new anime episodes. You might as well be left uncanny if your only experience with Orphen is the first J.C. Staff adaptation, which doesn't adapt faithfully to all the novels but unironically is the best Orphen anime so far.
