I grieve for this new generation of Shonen Jump mangaka, this is exactly what Shonen should be like! Historical, epic, hilarious, tragic and best of all A PERFECT AND ACTUAL ENDING.

I don't know why I have this feeling of having completed this series. But when I check it, it is still in my "On Hold" list.

According to my memory, this manga ended good with that main character won overall and became a quite, calm and cool sort of God. And as it is somewhat vivid in me, I was reading like skipping hell a lot of stuff as dropping a series would be the least I'd like to do even if a manga was horrible the worst.

What drew me into it was the art. I think the art is super strong and quite roughy, messy in a way that I liked. The story up to some 11 or 12 volume wasn't that bad either. But what happened afterward was just outrageously and idiotically meaningless.

Again... that's just what I recalled. I'm not so sure about all those memories. But I wouldn't pick it up and re-read it.

Everything that happens in this manga is portrayed in a foolish and playful manner, you have the evil empress killing kids and at the same time a guy dressed as a clown flying what seams a manekineko and seemingly innocent girls singing joyously dumb tunes. Thus, all that happens has this aloofness mixed with an obvious intention to make the theme brighter and lighter through humor (not funny at all imo) and a silly art-style. As a result I can't take this manga seriously and get a half-assed feeling from all aspects of the manga, characters, story, art-style, etc.

When Dakki kills the kings that was the breaking point, she controls a few humans, those in the palace, killing the king is ultimate idiocy, since this is based on a famous story, I'm pretty sure there is some motif and strategy involved but nothing of that is explained here except maybe as an afterthought. This is a fail in my book.

By the way, I really don't like the style, the clothes mainly since the drawing is actually quite good, but the char designs are annoying and ridiculous.

It's a nice series, perhaps one of the best shounen in 90s. But I feel like the climax was the fight with bunchuu and after he died the stories went down...
Anyway it's so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute

Well, i have to say at first I didn't like this manga at all. I thought the art was too hard to understand and wordy. I dropped it but came back to it later because of boredom. I was into but not that much. There are alot of places where you have to "read between the lines". But other than that, the characters are completely loveable. Taikoubou is THE FUNNIEST character i have even come across in my manga reading journey. He is also the most complex character in the series which you will find out later. But anyways, I totally recommend this. Some might be turned off by how long it is and think it's slow moving but it is actually extremely fast paced. So read it sometime!

Boring characters
Boring dialogues
Nonsense story

Well... I liked the art...
