Description
Itsuki Minami needs no introduction – everybody’s heard of the “Babyface” of the Eastside. He’s the toughest kid at Higashi Junior High School, easy on the eyes but dangerously tough when he needs to be. Plus, Itsuki lives with the mysterious and sexy Noyamano sisters. Life is never dull, but it becomes dangerous when Itsuki leads his school to victory over some vindictive Westside punks with gangster connections. Now he stands to lose his school, his friends, and everything he cares about. But in his darkest hour, the Noyamano girls come to Itsuki’s aid. They can teach him a powerful skill that will save their school from the gangsters’ siege–and introduce Itsuki to a thrilling and terrifying new world.
Air Gear won the 2006 Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category.

The manga started out fairly well, like TJTG. However, the author stalls and loses focus ...and unfortunately, as good as the drawings are, his constant one-uppers of showing effects loses its showiness after you see some amazing super powered ability that someone pulled out of their backside for the 20th time in the same action sequence.
The story ultimately suffers due to unnecessary and hard to follow dialogue that ultimately isn't important to the whole aspect of the story. There are a ton of characters and character development time tends to be used on unimportant characters or leave some main characters completely out of the window.
All in all, 5 points from the excellence of the drawings. Definitely one of the best mangaka in terms of drawing abilities. And one point for trying to do some semblance of a story even if it becomes abstract, chaotic with no conceptual practice of time flow. Definitely one of the crowning princes that practices manga 'filler' chapters. |

I'm not exactly sure what happened. I used to love this series. I read it a couple years ago and read all the way up to the current chapter (2 years ago) in one go. It was good. Then after a certain part in the story I just fell off the wagon. I'm not sure why, but I tried to get back into it and it didn't happen. I am currently watching the anime in hopes that I can get back into it. Hopefully Air Gear picks up a bit, so I don't fall asleep reading it.

Started out strong, but managed to kill itself halfway. After a certain part of the story, large amounts of bullshit leads to much failure. What used to be a rollerblading manga with a few extra perks has now turned into a jumble of garbage fight scenes and naked ladies. Is it just me that thinks Oh Great has a tendency to start good stories which turn to moot? Basically, read it to the point where it becomes shit, then make up your own goddamn ending. Anything's better than the crap pouring out per page.

| This series was interesting and started out quite strong but the thing that really gets to me is how they make the woman characters. Big chested, dumb, dense, or likes to beat up the main character over nothing, or just a total bitch. |

I absolutly love this series!!! ^_^... but I think Ikki is a total ... idiot... yeah lets just go with that. I LOVE AGITO!!!!... i rate Akito and Kaito in second place... And ok I know I'm not the only person who thinks this but ringo is a bit clingy... yeah... I find that desdirbing... I'm mean if the guy she likes gets stolen... she should steal him... in this case getting him away from Akito's grasp... Anyway I just love airgear... ♥_♥

I wish he would plan out his stories more, and be satisfied with a less OMG THE WORLD IS GUNNA DIE storyline. The best parts of TT and AG were most of the early stuff, with characters growing and interacting and goofing off. He always has to make it turn into some crazy fantasy/sci-fi weird confusing mess at the end, and ends up losing most of his fans, who only continue to read because they've put in so much time they figure they might as well see the ending.
I hope he finishs AG and TT soon and his next series he plans out the story further instead of one week at a time (it seems) and that he doesn't feel like eventually near the end he has to turn everything into a crazy mess and sticks to the world and setting that he originally starts out in.

This series was cool while the tricks made sense, but lately, it seems like the author is on crack or something.
Spoiler (highlight to view) For instance, Sora and Ikki's ability to control surfaces with their palms is stupid. Bringing Obama into the story was dumb. I don't even know what the hell is going on with the Gravity Children/Brain Chargers anymore. Firing a laser with an A-T is stupid, no matter how you explain it. I could go on for awhile. This is just no longer a sports manga really. Its a supernatural fighting manga with a so-so plot.

same thinking as carne!
by the way, the ecchi was too much. Girls, if you can't stand it like me, don't read this. You'll regret it! |

The story was good while it was just about AT gangs fighting each other to get better parts/regalia/to the tower. However as it progressed it just got worse. It was unique enough that if it had just stuck with the tricks and battles it would have been in my top 10. However the government plot/sky regalia/super powers that started popping up as the story went on just made it ridiculous,
