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.

Hah 3 months since the last comment, you'd think a shonen that was so popular would be flooded but nope.

Anyway that isn't the point, the point is, Air gear has drastically fallen (as many have said) to the point of being pure crap. As many have stated, the beginning of the series was awesome, I mean sure there was some fantasy elements into the series (I was actually okay with Akito's beam kick thing and the fact that certain fighters could stop time or something similar, pretty much all the things that happened during behemoth I was okay with).

It wasn't until Sora started pulling out Jedi like powers and that everyone and their mothers had super powers that rivaled naruto or bleach that this series just descended to crap.

I mean why the fuck at the beginning of the series give us those different games (Dash, disc, cube ect.) for each team rising up only to at the end just make the manga into something unoriginal (OKAY GUYS WE ARE ON HIGH TECH ROLLERBLADES SO LETS JUST SHOOT LIGHTNING AT EACH OTHER AND PUNCH AND STUFF KAY?).

I mean seriously, at first this series was interesting, Original even, then we get treated to a battle manga with every other issue someone running past a group of girls and tearing their clothes off? Fuck that.

Air gear has now just become a pathetic piece of shit series that honestly isn't worth picking up. You will only get attached to it and then become disgusted later (If you haven't seen the series, Don't touch it)

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.

Sort of a update. This manga is trash, Its getting almost two years since I've made a comment about this, but its just terrible, aside from awesome artwork.

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.

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... ♥_♥

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!
