1001 Knights ( Japanese 1001 ナ イ ツ ) is a manga series by Yukiru Sugisaki that appeared in Japan from 2012 to 2017. It has also been translated into German and is about the fantastic adventures of two brothers in search of their father.
content
The twin brothers Yuta and Naight Fuga work as private detectives next to the school, because their father and owner of the detective agency has long since disappeared. When his alimony payments no longer arrive, Arthur Esheko soon comes to the two unequal brothers. The good friend of the family brings the high school students to Dubai , where they are supposed to go in search of their father. They learn that he is part of a community of agents - just like themselves, as the symbols on their bodies indicate. These allow both of them to enter the Burj Khalifa without any problems , where the brothers are initiated into the secrets. And here they are sent through a portal to the dead spirit planet to find their father.
publication
The series was published from 2012 to 2017 in Asuka magazine by Kadokawa Shoten - the chapters were also published collectively in ten volumes. A German translation was published by Tokyopop from September 2014 to September 2018 . In September 2017, the publisher also brought out a bundled new edition of the first two volumes. Kadokawa Taiwan released the series in Taiwan.
reception
The Animania describes the manga as a rapidly narrated wandering around the world, in which the reader is bombarded with all sorts of elements such as reincarnation, demons and unearthly abilities. The reader must therefore bring concentration and should not be put off by the fact that in the almost exclusively male world, the two good-looking, but very contrasting brothers have a very close relationship with occasional Shōnen-Ai allusions. The drawings were successful, the detailed backgrounds were reminiscent of stories from the Arabian Nights and the costumes were kept in a modern but appropriate design. The “generous, often broken up layouts support the erratic narrative style as well as the rare action scenes”.
