Kotaro Yamada (Illustrator)

For fans of Full Metal Alchemist and Final Fantasy comes an all new epic fantasy manga series! This manga is the fourth book in an ongoing series that features stunning artwork and color inserts in each volume. Like her father and grandfather before her, Cecily Campbell has entered the noble ranks of the Knight Guard, sworn to protect the Independent Trade City of Housman. Now the time has come for Cecily to prove herself in battle. A veteran of the great Valbanill War goes berserk in the marketplace. Cecily confronts him with the prized sword she inherited from her father—and it shatters to pieces! All seems lost, when a lone figure swoops to the rescue, an expert swordsman with a sword unlike any Cecily has ever seen. His name is Luke Ainsworth, a blacksmith of much renown, who will forge a new sword for Cecily and join her down a path of magical adventure beyond her wildest dreams.

I think this only had one instance of fan service and it was so small that I almost forgot it was in there. The series has gotten better overall, though it is admittedly still kind of 'meh'. This volume was kind of cute though.
