"Light Inheritor" Review

OK.  So, I finally bothered to read Fuyuki Nea's Light Inheritor FE4 manga, which covers the exploits of the 2nd Gen.  I'd been avoiding it because I heard it contained heavy Celice/Leaf subtext with a jealous!Nanna angle, which sounded about as appealing as cleaning the basement.  

This particular rumor is not true (though Celice does get upset when he catches Leaf and Nanna holding hands).  That said, it's romance-driven in a way that actually side-steps the genuine plot of 2nd Gen FE4.  Now, this could be a good thing, because from what I've seen, 2nd Gen is generally regarded to be the weaker half dramatically.  I like it for the Levin angle and the Thracia angle, but I'll admit I don't give a damn about half the kids and in many cases I prefer the replacement characters.  But the execution of this is just... weird.

Spoilers, if you care )
