I've waited so long for the ending of this series. I mean I started it in high school and I graduated six years ago smh But I really love Crimson Hero. It's one of my very favorites. I get so excited and anxious reading it lol
I love Nobara and all that she had to overcome just to keep her dreams. And even when people say bad things about her she never gives up. She fights on and even encourage her opponents. That's amazing. I really want Nobabra to be happy and I love her with Yuushin... though I always wanted her to be with Keisuke, I think Yuushin might be better for her lol I just love Keisuke's childlike mentality when it comes to Nobara. It's cute. But I still can't tell if he loves her, or if it's something else. Poor Tomoyo.
After ch. 69 I knew something horrible was going to happen. Sensei is very cruel doing that to them is all i kept thinking..
It's amazing though it's been ongoing way too long! This is still one of my favorites. I felt every emotions depicted. During the final match with Yabe High I was so nervous as if I was on the court with them haha The last story with Nobara and Yuushin practically had me in tears, I'm so glad things worked out for the best =D

I really did.
I love it when mangakas discuss the complexity of relationships and then apply them to different situations. I found the theme of unrequited love delicately expressed-you can sense that thought has been put into the writing. The mangaka does care about her characters and that's always a plus. The art is beautiful; it's one of those rare instances where you stay at one page before going to the next-to appreciate the art rather than just flipping through the thing.
Can't wait to finish this

i really liked this one and i rarely read sport mangas
but i really like the main character how she's really determined and strong.
i also like how passionate she is about volleyball and how she bonds together with her team.
the romance is okay nothing new...seems like to me the classic love triangle
overall i really liked it...kept me wanting more

I love it. There's depth into it, and not like the other shoujo manga where the heroine is totally head over heels in love at first sight. >w> And stuffz.
The plot builds up piece by piece, and it's realistic : nothing happens immediately. It builds up slowly like it does in real life. The volleyball team, the crushes, the team's victories, it just doesn't pop out of nowhere like a "miracle".
Loving it. <3 Unique plot, and gorgeous art work. And let's face it: the guys are HOT.
I really recommend it. ^__^

I Started reading this manga a while ago and I can honestly say it's a very good read. The characters are all different and the story actually has depth to it. The art is very good as well; this is definately one of takanashi's best, in my opinion. The story is actually interesting and is played out very well so far.

I'm not sure about this one. Like others, I felt it started out very strong and promising, but midway, lost all its appeal. The main character became a bit cliched, the onslaught of melodrama was unbearable, and I'm not sure what was up with the need for all the Explain The Plot To Me voice overs. The romance disappointed me. Like the reviewer before me, I felt that the alternate pairing carried a lot more intrigue and depth. I ended up skimming the final 5 volumes because it just became such a chore to read. Maybe I'll give this another go in a few years and see if I feel differently.

Beniiro Hero started out really strong and interesting but somehow lost steam about two thirds in. At a major junction in the story, the author decided to completely change the dynamics of the relationships by moving one of the main characters to a different house. From then on, the downfall started. Ridiculous plot devices... Tensions that would build up and then fizzle into nothingness... And finally, a sense that the ending was not quite planned this way, but had to be rushed. Case in point, while we get a multitude of volumes building up the strength of the team, when we finally get the sense that they are getting somewhere the manga... ends. Their dreams and aspirations do not seem to ripen after fruiting, so to speak. A final disappointment - but that is my own subjective opinion - is that the mangaka mistakenly pushed the romance for the more uninteresting and bland of the two characters - in fact, the love interest whose character had the least development and depth. He was just...Mr. Perfect. Or Mr. Perfectly Boring. Ho-Hum.

I like the manga, I like the plot, kinda like the art but there's one thing that bothers me a lot. One thing that pisses me off, which I don't think that it should exist in the manga, even if that point plot is the one that makes the story goes climax.
ARGH. Anyway, it's a good manga but some stuff reeeeeeally aren't necessary to be implemented into the manga, lame dramas. Really.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I get it that Haibiki have feelings for Nobara for some time but when Tomo ends up in the hospital, didn't he showed how he was all worried for her? And even though Ichiba and Tsuchiya mentioned that it's more like a 'worry for sister' kinda thing, that kind of action is obviously more like a lover worried bout their partner right? So why exactly must he get pissed off and see Yuushin as a badass when Yuushin told him that he and Nobara likes each other? In my view, I think he's the badass here. Showing affection for Tomo yet liking Nobara at the same time. It was really unnecessary, after all, he didn't even 'try' to catch Nobara's heart besides that few moves in the beginning of the story.

One of my favorite sport manga, its also a very excellent talent manga. I really love how ones emotions get caught up into it; everytime the team scores a point I almost want to cheer loudly for them, or at the very least smile like an idiot.
The art takes a little bit getting used to, if only because the 'tom-boys' are generally indistinguishable from boys. Still after you learn the finer nuisances of the mangakas style its easy enough to tell.
Overall, it only got an 8.5 from me was because I don't really like how the romance is done, it seems a bit over-exaggerated to me, but its still good.
