The art is beautiful and the characters are colorful, especially Nana (and of course his cross-dressing counterpart Nanako) and Shiro is an amazing character. The development of the story is amazing and each arch is interesting. What I want to know is his past, as it hints that he was once involved in a bombing before in the the first chapter and the ridiculously large scar across his chest. Moreover, I want Nana to become stronger as the story progresses, it appears that his strength and agility have increased slightly, but he lacks brute power. But the story appears to hold a lot of potential to develop further.

This manga is really an artwork, really love the story, the background and the chara on it. The author surely was the assistant of Ookubo, cause sometimes the art is like the one of Soul Eater, especially on the cover, but i like more this one for chara and art.

I give a 10, cause this one exceeded my expectations and more shounen series around this years.

After reading 7 chapters i can say it have potencial it's funny and have crossdresing hero (lol) characters are balanced and u can find them likeable

I give 9 cuz it's realy fun to read and it's not boring i wait for next chapters

Well, on the one hand this may be interesting but I have a hard time taking it seriously. The art has a fun style and Nana is kind of funny (if a little forced sometimes) and the hints at his past and his personality catch my interest, but overall, it feels too abrupt and some of the characters seem to be missing something that makes them feel real. I'm not able to be emotionally involved with the story, but then it is only chapter 4 so far, so there's room to grow and improve. You can't always judge a manga by its beginning.

This is my absolute favorite manga, I don't know why people don't love it. It seems so simple but from the beginning you can see the darkness under the surface, now it's more obvious, I can only hope that what is left continue being great.

people found fault with it..i found it perfectly fine in the beginning when he was weak and had to resort to subterfuge and guile...but later on when he gets stronger it was just silly.

as people said after the first arc it seems like it was rushed

Tripeace is one of my favorite mangas, i read it back in 2012 and every few years i go back and re-read the series (I'm on my 6th re-read) so i pretty confident to say that Tripeace doesn't hold up that well like most stuff from the early 10s and late 00s.

Art is just amazing, don't even try to argue. For something made in 2008 the art is amazing.
Story has a very great premise but it bite off more than it could chew so most of the talk about war is very simplified for what it was trying to say which came off often as childish and naive.
Characterizations for nana and shiro is pretty decent, nothing revolutionary but it serves the purpose. Nana has amnesia so he's a blank canvas with the goal to stop all wars and for essentially a young boy who just learned about what war is, he did his best (the whole idealistic tendency and childish tone of the story towards war fits nicely but war isn't really something you can use the word childish with). Shiro's development is nice and the answer she came up with for her third law is quite surprising (or if you pay attention enough and is smart maybe not). The antagonists are often contradictory in their words and actions which reflects the muddy line of good and evil (i hope that was intentional). And the rests are not explored enough to say anything about.
Pacing has issues, let's just say that. Especially the last arc.
First time reading the ending i was really disappointed but after re-reading and look at the story as a whole, it is still disappointing but i appreciate it a lot more. Nana growth is comparable to a kid growing up (tripeace is a shounen), he has an idealistic view of the world and when it was broken, he succumb to negativity and becomes disillusioned with the world and himself. But when he and shiro fought, she pulled him back from the despair by reminding him of his dream. At this point, both sides are fighting each other like kids at a playground because they deep down are still idealistic children no matter how strong they are.
The ending to me is about staying true to yourself. Nana dream is to eradicate all wars and even though it's an impossible goal, he still strive to do it because it's what he set out to accomplish to succeed or die trying and i think that is beautiful. Very heavy-handed in terms of execution and cliche in meaning but it fits the story and stay true to itself till the very end.

I'm still very sad we didn't get to see the fights though... And the set-up which dragged on pretty long without going anywhere... And the humor which DID NOT aged well like soul eater...

Tldr:
Pros: Cool art, easily binge-able, compelling story

Cons: Humor, rushed last arc, all over the place set-ups which lead to nowhere resulting in a sense of pointlessness.

Overall: 7-8/10 (to me it will always be 10/10)
Read it if you want to kill time or to come up with ideas for your own comic because it is filled with cool designs and concepts.

This manga I just read on a whim, and I think it isn't that good, to put it more harshly it is one of the worst manga I seen, it's view on war is extremely childish, the character shiro is one of the most annoying characters I seen in a while she is so abusive and obnoxious, she is always so condescending towards Nana even though the main character change and show some signs in improvement she still acts very rude towards him.
Also the ending was really bad though it was most likely axed and I'm not surpirsed in the series cancellation.

Overall a manga that's not worth reading

It was really awesome, I enjoyed it a lot, then a dumb (and childish maybe?) ending arrived.
Really disappointing. I don't know why, maybe they ran out of money? Time? Something else wrong happened? I really can't understand why they decided to cut in that mode this manga.

I was not bad at first but then kinda got lost in the plot. Story felt rush in certain areas. In the end, the conclusion of the manga was kinda weak. Could have had a better ending even though the manga is pretty mush try to say that it is not possible to end war ( which I also believe too that it is impossible). At least that make sense.

Anyway manga was good until the final arc, I had to force myself to read the rest. Don't get me wrong the manga was funny to read. The final arc is almost 2 volume long anyway.

Story 6/10
Art 9/10
Satisfaction 7/10
Ending 5/10

But seriously was that the ENDING!!!! P(>_<)
