this is a comedy manga. Don't expect anything more. This isn't adventure nor even a battle manga. I should say this is a new hybrid gag manga. Pretty funny, in lots ways

well at least, you won't get bored of this series as you expect no further development

Comedy. This is what Beelzebub is honestly about. Its absurdity, the insanity--that is the point it presses on the most, and fortunately it has yet to fail to get its point across. I swear, every chapter makes you laugh out loud, even the more serious ones have something to smile about. When the day comes I can't utter a giggle after reading a chapter is the day this manga will end. It's the humor that keeps it fresh and exciting. 95% sure it would die without it.

The plot is slow and tedious. Don't get me wrong, it goes then stops. A few teases, but never enough to shift the story in a different direction. You can feel the build up with each arc though. With each arc he pulls the curtain back a little bit. It can be frustrating at times. You want more, but instead he gives us what feels like filler arcs (which really are more minor character/major character interaction/background arcs. So they're not USELESS just less main plot and more subplot). At the moment it feels pretty filler, but it's hilarious and I'm invested in these characters and "pairs" so I could care less.

Lastly are the characters. For a shounen, I think we have some pretty unique people here (who doesn't love baby Beel?). For once the females within this shounen are pretty badass. Not in a controlling, soft way, but in a physically agressive way. Aoi and Hilda--dayuuuum. These two have every male on their backs (NOT SEXUALLGOSH). And you also have a range of minor characters that grow more involved with the plot and Oga's adventures. They really start to grow on you. They're not overbearing but they're sassy enough to keep you awake.

The relationships between these characters is surprisingly strong--or at least between the ones that matter. Whenever a rare moment of emotion is seen, it feels genuine and never forced. That's another thing about this manga--it never feels forced. Everything is fluid, even if some things are INSANE. There's this great consistency.

Yes, this is a battle manga but there's less emphasis on "battle." Fighting is a better word. Tons of fighting, but no real battles. Oga isn't the type of guy to pound his feelings into someone nor does he care about someone else's feelings. He does follow under some lead shounen stereotypes but overall he's too much fun to hate. His DGAF personality is what makes him the most fun. He doesn't care if he beats or hugs the shit out of someone.

I highly suggest you read the first chapter before passing it by. If you dont' like the humor, then I'd highly suggest you pass this because Beelzebub is all about the funny.

 humor over plot

the story is a very good read. in terms of humor, i'd say it is the funniest manga i've ever read. the humor is so original and somehow, in a way, clever.

the art is ok. its quite the typical shounen. FIGHTS. yeah. the hero has massive strength capable of causing world war III. he wins all fights and blah blah blah.

don't expect much character development. the story may have a plot, but in terms of focus, i'd say the manga is more into the humor than the plot. i don't take that against the story though. the story can get serious at times but there are those moments when something extremely funny pops up and you cant stop laughing thinking how out of scene the dialogue is. its a good manga to read when you really want to laugh.

Hillarious!!! I've even clapped in front of the computer after a chapter, it's truly funny! I put great importance on romance, so that substracts from it a little bit, but the comedy more than makes up for it. I love how i have something to laugh about every week, just the best.

 A Good Comedy Manga   
Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I'm not a big fan of comedy in shounen mangas, since they all seem a bit stupid to me, but this series is an exception. I admit it has some stupid jokes sometimes, but the overall idea of the series is great! It's that kind of series that has some comic nonsense in it and it works!
It has some fights during the story and sometimes it gets really close to become a battle manga, but in the end, it proves to be like a parody of battle shounen titles.
The characters in this series are great! I think Furuichi is a piece of work! Even the boring ones have their moments, that can make almost everyone laugh!

This series is adorable and hilarious. I love how it manages to be genuinely exciting with all the action and brawling and demonic main plot whilst being light-hearted and really family-centric at its core. Beel and Oga make a wonderful and amusing father-son duo.

The concept was new to me when I first read it and the humour is still hilarious. There were brief moments where I thought the story was dragging on a tad and the few filler chaps frustrated me; but in the long run I absolutely love this series. I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but I personally belief this series is far superior to Bleach and Naruto. These latter two bored me to death at around the same chapter release as Beelzebub is currently running at and I have had to put them on my hold list many times. However with Beelzebub I just eat up every chapter release as soon as it gets out. Heck I'm looking forward to the next release now!

 If we are honest with ourselves we already knew it wasn't going any where

Of course it wasn't going anywhere. I mean, where could it possibly go? There is no world to explore, no significantly important mystery to solve, no viable directions that haven't already been done, and done better, to death. (Well, of course a shounen jump title wasn't gonna focus on child-rearing.) But most tell-tale is that the premise is based on a single shtick, albeit an interesting one. It should move on after the gag wears out, but where? Beelzebub ends up putting its hand in every cookie jar and suffers for it.

 Pretty funny--

--but this series has a tendency to draw out plot lines later on. Originally, the main premise was about Oga, an evil monstrous freak of a delinquent, trying to ditch the kid and going through hell to do so. Now it is transitioning to Dragonball lvl up tendencies so expect more than a few cliffhangers with fights becoming longer than one chapter. The evil and sadistic nature of all the characters becomes deemphasized/toned down as well.

On the plus side, the humor is still consistent and the art has matured well over time.

 A Parody of the Typical Jump Battle Manga   
Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

This manga is the opposite of a shounen battle manga. What do I mean? You know how shounen battle manga starts with a some pathetic guy who's special and through a series of lucky breaks becomes a bad ass - this series starts off with a badass who finds he's not badass enough.

You know how shounen battle mangas protagonists get beat down by someone random stronger than them and they spend 30 chapters powering up? This manga does it in 3 pages and gets back to what's important, the plot!

You know how when the protagonist is a super powered world destroying badass and then somehow struggles to beat down the boss he had trouble with and then even has trouble beating down the next boss's lackeys because he inexplicably doesn't use the new godlike power he has? There are multiple instances of 1 move battles because the protagonist is a god like badass, why the fuck should the mangacka waste ink drawing a battle scene?

You know how after 500 chapters you get sick of shounen battle mangas? This one is unfortunately starting to get there, but it is definitely an experience that's worth the ride and it is still worth reading after 130 chapters.

You tired of wimpy ass protagonists bawling about friendship and swooning helpless women falling at their feet? Then read this.
