I really enjoy this manga..even tho recently there has been alot of reading which gets frustrating sometimes, but its good. I think the plot is pretty good but its not like omg amazing lol. Character designs are really good (i am a aya fan), fight scenes are pretty awesome soon. I just hope it picks up soon. I also hope they continue the anime for Tenjou Tenge! rating 8/10

This use to be one of my favorites now after that long history lesson i feel that it has lost its luster.

Despise all the ecchiness shown in the manga, it also pretty explicit in the fights, AYA! <3 madoka!

I consistently see people saying this manga has a bad storyline? Did we read the same thing? O_o

For me this manga has such a large stretching plot, with a timeline going back thousands of years. People keep saying its only about fanservice? Sorry, if that was true, the characters wouldn't have such a detailed back stories, and neither would the plot. If you only read the first half, it seems like this manga is only about the election tournament and beating Mitsuomi. But if you bother to read further, you realise thats only the tip of the iceberg.

Summary - don't judge a book by its cover. This is no Ikkitousen (which I also love), there is more to it than fanservice.

Warning if you try to get any sort of plot out of this you will be dissapointed. It is pure fanservice and some decent fightscenes, however there is nothing else

I've been following this series for a long time now, and for what reason.
Because I was hooked to the art style which is beatiful and the story which is engaging.
Although at times the story just loses track and you start scratching your head, thinking, what the f*ck. Even so, it was a good read, I'm just glad its done, haha.

the fights and story progression gets better and they explain everything in detail, but a little too detailed. the first 7 or 8 volumes is about maya's family history then it gets more into Nagi's story then bounces back and forth with maya's family heritage again. the art does suck because that was the lazy style art back in the 90s, but the art style changes as the decade passes by. the art style definitely gets better and it doesn't look like someone sketched or doodled it anymore. definitely recommended, but i suggest you watch the anime including the ova before you get into the manga.

The good: The art and some of the women are gorgeous, easily one of the greatest manga in Japan in this regard. The writing is ok, and some of the characters are pretty inspired.
The bad: The artist is mostly focusing on disgusting gross-out moments, rather than beauty and cheesecake, which is his greater strength, and this is so gratuitious that it detracts rather than adds to the quality. The story is incredibly slow and frequently off track.

great storeyline

one sick manga. the art is amazing, the background info was well researched, and the storyline, tho it could be better, is very well developed
