"Moon Walker"... just by the name, this one-shot really can kill me with one chapter. I'm amazed enough with the character depth and plot twist in the first chapter. The MC is one of badass MC that so far really deserves the "bad-ass" title.

Even though I'm a bit disappointed with the second chapter, because of few things (lack of plot connectivity with the first chaps, but covered enough with the twist), I really want to see this "one-shot one kill" manga, become a long series (which I guess that will improve the plot connectivity).

But well, I have wait too long, so I've already prepared if I must wait much more longer... while I imagine the plot by myself, hahaha...

Honestly, I had no idea what was going on. The characters lacked emotion and background, and the manga almost seemed as if it was missing a few pages in between. The dialog, I dunno if it's the translation at fault or not, but was difficult tying it together with the pictures.

Never the less, it still had interesting settings and characters. I would had loved more, perhaps something not so rushed as a oneshot would had made it better. So yes... interestingly sucks.

Konomi is a great author, with one hell of a drawing curve. His technique is flawless, as we can tell from Prince of Tennis.

Organization of panels along with the flow of the action seem to work rather well. Easy to read, there may be cases where you have to turn back and see what happened, but hey nobody's perfect. The fact is, when you make a nice flowing sequence of panels it makes a story very easy to read, and for a One-shot worth 50+ pages, it had better be.

Events aren't to fluid due to many restrictions in Konomi's work, not only in the story. It's not your average prison break, or The Shawshank Redemption but it has it's tricks and stunts.

A very nice change of pace for Konomi, telling us that tennis isn't all he knows. He may want to work on female confrontation more for a story like this however, though being in a shounen magazine we can't really blame that on the author.

Would love to see this continued, at least a little. Compared to Tenipuri, where the apparently middle school students (middle school implies they are 12-16 years old) who look 20, this was much better - guilt free perving. Main character was hot, the other character who joined him was also hot, and male. Plenty of subtext to play with, if you're a fujoshi. If you're not, good art + interesting plot. It's only a short read, so check it out.

I think Takeshi Konomi should do yaoi manga. And I'm serious. To be honest, when we see what POT has became, the main interest that remain is: BOYS BOYS BOYS. You know it too. 83

Okay, I have to admit that I was drawn to read this because the guy looks hot. There. I've said it. And I also have to admit that I wasn't disappointed, even having picked it up for that reason. The story seemed a bit rushed for a one-shot, but that makes sense if it's a "pilot" (so to speak) for a possible series. I wouldn't mind seeing this character fleshed out in a full series. It's fun to watch him break out of things (and get put into things )... and he's damn hot, too. And I have to love any manga that contains the words, "It's my monologue, please let me speak it."

I think this story has a lot of potential! Konomi probably had to rush a lot of things and condense b/c it was a oneshot, and he might've been pitching this as an idea to the audience.... I really liked it, thought it could be really interesting if made into a story, especially since I've only seen Konomi work with tennis (as everyone else has) so it'd be interesting to see how he takes on the subject matter of fantasy/sci-fi. Plus, I just love his art, it gets better and better. <3
One last thing I just have to say... why is there so much subtext in this oneshot? O_O Also, why does his art look kinda yaoi-ish here? There was even a guy who was mistaken for a girl lol.

Not exactly the best one shots out there and had too many parts where you're simply supposed to believe without any good reason. A lot of pointless chatter and repeat usage of the faces instead of drawing the scenes they're talking about made it a bit annoying to go through.
If you like looking at the same faces over and over in all the panels with lots of text then this might interest you. It's too bare bones for me to have much interest beyond the one shot, but if you like the previous work of the mangaka then take a look since it's worth at least that much, but not much else.

i thought it was more than one chapter so much story was in the one shot. There may be many story holes left open, but if it would become a series (which is what i deeply hope) those would be explained with backflashes. I really like Gaias funny and smart character, it feels so refreshing^^

I have to say....it was an interesting one-shot. However, there are many holes and was kinda confusing when did this or that happen. Btw, no straight guy is gonna wear those clothes.... *facepalm*
