 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.

very rarely do i come across a weekly shounen as good as this one, instead of explaining how great this shit is, lets just run a checklist:

- good story: check
- good plot: check
- likable protagonist :check (he's manly, nuff said..)
- good art: check (for a weekly shounen atleast)
- comedy that actually makes you laugh: check
- on point action scenes: check
- likable heroin: check
- likable side characters : check

i think you get the point, if you're into Yankee mangas, or just shounens in general you should give this 1 a shot, cuzz so far so good

I think it's been said before but the best thing about Beelzebub isn't the ridiculously extremely funny humor its got.
It isn't the awesomeness that Oga displays in almost every chapter.
It isn't the awesome baby demon.

The fact that it skips all of the "shounen bullshit" that every shounen has got makes it totally a must read!

"How.. how can you still be standing?"
"You hurt my friends AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU BAD GUY NUMBER #1"
*Super secret attack move that will become over-used from now on*

This^ will not be in this manga. No more "friends are the most important thing in the world", "pathetic girls who only yells yells yells and keeps on whining about how weak they are" ETC ETC.

READ THIS NOW! I can with utmost certainty say that this will become huge once it becomes an anime.

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.

 Great Comedy

It's been a while since I laughed this hard while reading a manga. I thought I had grown used to all the common Japanese manga jokes but this manga's comedy is just unpredictable. The characters are the next best part and some of them are so completely over-the-top that they wouldn't work in any manga except for this one. The action is good but mostly one-sided, it mostly is used for comedic effect. The only real weakness I could find was the plot but even that looks like it could pick up further down the line based on the for-shadowing.

 BEST shonen series   
Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

And I say best. It's got everything that a great shonen should have. And more! It has a plot, yes, but that's not enough to erode the wicked humour involved. The characters are awesome, the plot and pacing are just right, and the humour is about the best I've seen around. Every chapter had action and comedy, and together with Baby Beel, this is the best you'll get for shonen.

A must read for ALL manga fans.

 Best shounen 2009 hands down

This manga is ridiculous, I mean, from the description, it's already ridiculous. The author has no interest in anything "normal". So instead, in Beelzebub you will find an unusually fast-paced manga with weirdly-dressed characters, ridiculous expressions, retarded story setting, and unorthodox story telling.

But it's ridiculously good.

No one is ever going to say Beelzebub is the most original manga ever; it is after all a fighting shounen manga. However what Beelzebub does is strip out all the useless, irritating things that come up in shounen mangas. Forget the whiny girls, the talk about friendship and how it's the most important thing in the world. Forget a whiny irritating protagonist and his whiny friends (yes I'm looking at you Rave Master and Naruto). Oga is f***kin kickass, his friend while weak is not annoying and Hilda is actually kind of entertaining. The baby, the physically 'weakest' member of the bunch, is effin awesome.

Currently the manga is at chapter 35 so it's just beginning. The development of the plot should be the mangaka's next step and also more character development. I hope this manga keeps doing well and doesn't fall into the common thing of giving Oga a new power everytime he faces a new opponent.

 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.

I mean, there is a lot of cliches that have recently appeared but its shonen. Oga still is pretty damn awesome and the other characters are now given a chance to shine. Sure, I miss the no-demon ages where it was just I beat you up and you beat me but, there is bound to be a limit on how much of that we can have. There's a demon baby and now, we are focusing on the demonic aspect as well as how much Oga can improve.

It is still pretty comedic, a lot of moments where you laugh and just try to hold back your giggles before going to the next page.

I think that it is still a read, funny, awesome, crazy characters. Everything is in this one manga.
