 Too much moralizing to be enjoyable

There's nothing wrong with the manga except it's premise which is kind of a problem. Teaching us life lessons like bullying is bad, love each other more and drugs are wrong. Yeah, thanks. I already kind of realise that stuff. I don't need a comically small detective to be outraged at stuff to realise what is right and wrong. I particularly don't need even the most simple of subjects blown out of all proportion. Far too much time spent being "inspirational" and with everyone bursting into tears due to the tragedy of it all.

If you enjoy being told really obvious things then I suppose this is the manga you've always wanted.

art: is pretty good, everything looks well drawn, worked out nice
plot: the twists are ok, not bad at all. The characters are easy to like, their skills and powers well shown, you "believe" the story and then it hits you. The plot is sometimes so constructed that it gets hilarious,i personally hate manga/manwha/stories wre enemies have to be the enemies for the sake of the conflict, when they have no real reason to be suspicious or an enemy at all, if this isnt explained well the story just gets hilarious, this is a DRAMA story very much so, if u like me need convincing characters and even more convincing enemies be not surprised with this one
i would give this series a much, much, much higher rating if it would convince me of the reasons for these suspicions but its just unbelievable at times (see spoiler <.<")
the only thing that kept me going are the characters which i started to like

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
" for example a lil girl of 12 years old is involved in the murder of a 60+ guy and the protagonist has to convince his superiors heavily that shes the victim of a rape attempt, while all the investigators look skeptically on him and the whole series i am like wat? Wat? WAAAAT ?O.O No Money was taken, the "murder" was already discussed in the news and the police is used to arrest 12 year old serial killers O.o for sure..."

 Bipolar story

This one jumped the tracks for me. The beginning was really enjoyable with a balanced mix of humor and seriousness. Later on however in volume 8 (maybe 9 or10 in the raws? can't remember) it drops the lighter elements and humor in favor of mostly heavy drama and serious topics taken to extremes. I can't say to much without spoilers, but the shift robbed the enjoyment and even the feeling of realism from the story for me. There was too much over-drama and too many things happen to the people Shibatora knows for the story to keep its flow and impact.

By the author of Kunimitsu no Matsuri (I've read over half of that and i love it), this manga's good. It touches various serious topics with a light-hearted art. The main character's lovable and despite his childish appearances, he's a full grown adult. Like kunimitsu, he's an idealistic man of some sort, but he's smarter and more mature. Some of the storylines may be a little bit shounen-ny but it's executed beautifully. I want to comment more about the story but my language skill's doesn't allow me, ha-ha. With 39 chapters scanlated, i hope that i can read it more in the future. I gave it 10 because i want the rating to go up.

I like it a lot. Plenty of action and humor and some surprisng plot twists. Also a little mysterious what with his unrevealed past and everything... and every character's so interesting. The humor parts crack me up!

 Cool but it easily pissing you off.

Graphics : 7/10
Story : 9/10
What made me rate it 7/10 is that the hero actually pisses me off so easily. I mean, he's "so nice"... I call that stupidity. Honestly, I don't understand how people could like him... He's so unrealistic... Well despite saying this, I'm still reading it cause it's good. Still it pisses me off so much :x
By the way, it does look like GTO, except that Onizuka was "gureeto".

 Naively dramatic cop

At first, I thought it would be a GTO clone type of manga, but it really finds its own way as the plot develops. Shibatora might be a naive and idealistic cop, with issues about his appearance, but he has the determination to stick with his ideals no matter which situation he is involved in.
I'm looking forward for more releases, and as well, to know about his past.

Interesting story so far...
A policeman with the looks of a middle schooler trying his best to fight crime even though his looks work against him.
Quite funny ,the female police officers treat him like a toy or a doll to mess around with since he resembles a cute kid,and has a hard time getting anyone to take him seriously.
Though it still has a seinen feel to it with its mature topics related to drugs and child abuse.
