Well it took me about 2 hours to read the entire manga...He hasn't gotten that far into it. And it has a Tarzan feel to it, except the baby can talk to Any animal...so one more step up from Tarzan I suppose. The bummer is that when I looked at the cover I seen a girl that looked like a mamodo with the lines going down her face and she was holding a orange book with symbols on it...So of course I thought "YES he made another story like Zatch Bell!" I read it...It has a totally different feel then Zatch Bell...well except for the beginning, the two pretty similar sort of in the beginning.

So much happens here at 11 volumes plus, this manga just gets better and better, is not even a roller coaster, is constantly getting more awesome by the panel, i have nothing else to say, this thing is the perfect transition between an apparently awesome shounen manga that turns into one hell of a baddas seinen story, but that everyone with half a neuron can still appreciate, the messages are straightforward and compelling, there is not a single chapter wasted, and even if you think there was take this in mind, they had to have good times at least once and even that end in tragedy.

i will remark this this manga is divided in the different sections of the Taroza's life since he is a baby until adulthood, also the tanukis they become quite a minority as the plot grows and more characters enters, and bunch of others die.

Very fun read

Besides chapter 0, there are only 2 chapters out at the time of this review.

I must say this is a very refreshing read. As the description suggests, this is a bit like Tarzan in CONCEPT. However, this is also very light hearted and humorous. The character's action and interaction are very fun to read, but also serious at times (there's a somewhat touching scene at the end of chapter 2). The fight scenes are done appropriately (not over the top, but also not impressive; however, given the scenario, I think it would look really cool if animated).

I got a somewhat One Piece/Guin Saga feel from this (but hell it'll can go probably in a complete different direction since it's still relatively new) but without the super powers.
