Side notes: This manga has pretty normal shounen style and it doesn't stand out with originality at first. The charas also have that ordinary feeling on them so it's hard to say is it really above the average shounen manga. Still the plot setting even with it's stereotypes makes it something that keeps it floating in the realm of a good manga making it a bit different from others. And it's also the reason why this manga scores pretty goon both in Baka and MAL.

Main characters

Daichi (ダイチ)

The protagonist of the series. He seems somewhat reckless but knows how to deal with difficult situations. He is a Blazer and so far most often uses an electric Mysticker given to him by his brother. It is called the God hand, and it is a great electric Mysticker with unknown potential. Tamamayu Mysticker, that makes an arm gauntlet that is similar to Jio Freed's Devil summoned hand, that has been revealed if master has great offensive and defensive value that is perfect for Daichi and Ginga's type of use. Daichi and Shiro have become rivals after they first meet and work together. He uses a motorized, two-wheeled version of a skateboard, called ballboard, as his main transportation.

His parents died in a car accident and after that his relationship with his older brother changed.

Kuroki (クロキ)

The best friend of Ginga and the one that offers Daichi an explanation of the world of Blazers. He recently joined Daichi's life in order to help him now that his brother disappeared, changing Daichi's daily life forever. He has a joking personality and likes to tease Daichi whenever he can. He also seems to have a fear of dogs. His appearance resembles Kirin of 666 Satan, including his hair, which covers his eyes the same way Kirin's hair hid his.

He is good with Healing type stickers and is usually seen carrying around a huge sword. This sword is the Mysticker "Necromancer", and can be used to cut through souls.

He is supposed to be the one training Daichi and when he fails to make sure little damage happens when Daichi fights Beast, he's punished. He uses an unnamed, one seater vehicle that looks like a modified modern sport/street motorcycle. He doesn't use his hands to drive.

Misora (ミソラ)

A caring person that looks after the group. She's been kind of forcefully recruited into Kuroki's group in chapter 2 and seems to harbor romantic feelings toward Daichi. According to the guardians' leader, she harbours potential to become a Blazer and was left chained up in a compromising position to be examined.
