Tatsuya Endo, known for the popular manga "Spy x Family," has several other works that have gained attention since the success of his hit series. One of these works is "Tista," which was originally published from November 2007 to July 2008 in Jump Square and later released as a two-volume manga.
"Tista" follows the story of Tista Lone, a young woman who leads a double life. By day, she's a student, but by night, she becomes the skilled assassin known as "Sister Militia." Her exceptional marksmanship and high kill rate make her a formidable threat. However, her life takes a turn when she forms a genuine connection with Arty Drawer, an artist, which begins to erode her identity as "Sister Militia."
The manga delves into Tista's struggle to reconcile her dual existence and her evolving relationship with Arty. While the overall plot might follow some familiar themes, the character development and gradual progression of the story offer an engaging reading experience. Tatsuya Endo surprises readers with unexpected twists.
The narrative explores Tista's journey as she questions her beliefs, faces inner turmoil, and grapples with her past. Meanwhile, Arty remains determined to find and understand Tista, even if it means confronting her dangerous alter ego.
Despite its somewhat typical action-oriented Shonen style, "Tista" stands out with its characters' emotional depth and the absence of a sugar-coated happy ending. The atmosphere is dark, and the characters' desperation and unease are palpable throughout.
Although "Tista" was Tatsuya Endo's debut work, his clean art style and character design show early signs of his distinct aesthetic, resembling what later became recognizable in "Spy x Family." The storytelling flows smoothly, and while the text content is balanced, it may be slightly more extensive than his current works.
In conclusion, if you enjoyed Tatsuya Endo's other works or are a fan of Shonen action series, "Tista," despite its typical elements, offers engaging character dynamics and is worth recommending.
