Golem Hearts


This is a new manga that i came upon recently and i think it has potential. There have been only nine chapters so far but, it is really picking up fast. 

What's it about:
 It is set in a world of arcanists. Humans create golem(inanimate beings created for purpose) to do day to day tasks. The livelihood of the humans are dependent on golems and there are different types of golems like medicinal, chore performing to fighting golems. The arcanists are beings that are the best among the bunch who work under the federation for the kingdoms, the kingdom is under constant threat from terrorists and other nations and arcanists are high level golem artists that are deployed in the protection and prosperity.








We follow the journey of a young boy named Noah who lives with his golem art master, Lamech. He sucks at creating decent golems much like his master who is knowledgeable but, lacks the ability to create high level golems who one day accidentally created Noah, a golem with human intelligence. Noah is initially hated by the townsfolk because they view him as a glitchy golem who causes problems but, after a kidnapping incident during which noah saves a child from danger; The townsfolk sympathize and come to understand noah to be just an inexperienced child trying to fit into society.

One day, a military officer comes to seek the Lamech's(a former scholar working for the federation) secret weapon when he left the federation to increase his standing in the military hierarchy but, is shunned by the master. When threatened by the officer's golem, he injures master lamech. Just then, Noah subconsciously uses golem art on himself and destroys the officer's golem and injuring himself and the officer in the process. The officer realizes that the boy is not human but, is golem himself and vows to come back for the boy.

An injured Lamech and Noah are helped by Eir, a former friend of the master during his military days and currently one of the highest ranked arcanist of the federation. The master somehow pulls through but, realizes his inability in protecting Noah. He tells Eir about the boy's status and seeks her help in protecting noah and helping him defend himself. Eir, begrudgingly agrees after witnessing the scene of the battle with the officer and the sincerity in Lamech's request. 




Lamech tells noah to go with Eir and become the best arcanist in the kingdom as he cannot teach him everything. Noah, realising the danger his existence poses to masters life decides to become Eir's disciple and become the best arcanist ever. And so he begins his journey.......................................................................................................................................................
