I loved the pictures of the all the dudes drawn in here... I mean... wow. For gay guys and girls, the pictures can be definitely be used for "extracurricular" activities. Anyways, I so hated the ending. What kind of ending was that? I mean... thank goodness, it wasn't a cliffhanger or anything, but it wasn't even rushed... it was just... incomplete. No, not incomplete. It just... was not... it could have been better. Yeah, the ending could have been better. I'm just glad I am done with this manga. It was most definitely a one time read manga. I don't think I will ever reread this, but maybe to drool over the pictures, hahahaha =D

I saw the anime first and then continued with the manga. The characters are funny and enjoyable. Unlike most manga of its type which introduced characters and kill them off quickly, there are many recurring characters other than the main characters, so a consistent story is maintained.

Please dont quite after the first few chapters. I recommend watching the anime to know the first half of the series and then continuing with the manga.

this is one of the best shouen manga ever!!!!! XD it's actiony, and the art spports the plot, and the humor just don't stop coming XD i literally laughed every page, and the humour isn't too cliche or forced and the art work is clean, and i just can't stop reading it XDXDXDXD also, in most shouen manga, i don't really cheer on and hope the main character to win, since it's pretty obvious who's going to win or not, but this is so much twist XD i was litterally urging blade and the others to win

This is a manga featuring plentiful fanservice (every girl becomes mostly naked at some point during a fight), excessive violence and extreme badassery (every male fighter only wears a badass longcoat in place of a shirt), done in a fashion that seems stupid at first glance yet evidently reeks of much genre savvy (the author makes many blatant references). These elements are no doubt supposed to appeal to the inner teenager of every male reader, the readers know this, the author knows this and the story does not even pretend to take itself seriously. It is the kind of series that knows the unreasonable audience only tune in for godzilla, and focuses on giving them their godzilla.


It would probably most appeal to the jaded readers looking for some wacky entertainment.

At first I thought it sucked based on the first half of volume one but by volume two I rather enjoyed it.

For one thing, it is hilarious. It is mainly a fight manga and it gives off that feeling but it's funny almost every page. that goes a long way into raising this above average.

The plot is similar to X-men and S-cry-ed, but I think it might have a twist down the end. So far they apparently get their powers from mutations due to fall out from a third world war but it seems at one point someone had all the powers and they are already documented so I don't think that was the reason everyone else has them or even the original.

The action is constant and the powers wildly different, I don't usually like it in manga when the same power source has given such different powers but at least the main characters powers are consistent throughout their battles, meaning they defeat people through good implementation of abilities you already know about and that's a plus in my book.

The art is very stylized, at first I didn't like it but now I think it's fine. It isn't lacking, it doesn't seem like the artist lacks skill, I mean. One minor problem is that the women are drawn a very specific way. It is minor because it isn't exactly bad but I guess it may not be ideal. They tend to look very young, small, and skinny.

In the first couple of chapter, there's a little boy that seems like the main character that's a total wuss. he's a huge factor in why its unlikable at first, along with not knowing how the story is told(hilariously). But after the humour sets in, he's more comic relief but it's still set up so that he may become strong or useful or cool. So they sort of fixed his unlikability.

Only read 9 chapters, I couldn't get any further because it was pretty dumb. The art is ok, not great. So far it doesn't know if it wants to be serious or over-the-top. I think its trying to be too many things at once and it just makes it a big mess.

Got to agree that the first and second arcs have their own feel to them. It's a bit pointless and at face value same-old same-old. However a good infusion of action and humor as well as good art help make it a good enough read.

If you ask me, this series has two parts to it: chapters 1-50, and the chapters after that. The (current) scanlation gap is covered by the anime until the anime-only ending, so if you've seen that you have a pretty good idea of what goes on in the gap.

The first 50 chapters are okay - a fun read, but nothing too special. It's mainly a lot of GAR and action with gags mixed in, and they set up the series' background and characters. Then the first main story arc ends and the second part starts up, which is where I think the series kicks off. There's less GAR and action/random destruction but the overall series seems to get more interesting, a lot funnier, and develops a better plot structure than the earlier "fight enemy, do something crazy/GAR/both, somehow run into next enemy in power hierarchy, rinse & repeat."

Although I might be biased because (personal opinion)

Don't read if you don't understand the title to preserve your eyes

The art is very nice, clean and understandable. Story has started good too, and the characters are pretty cool.
