I liked VGA and I''s much better, thosetwo were like the only shoujo i ever read.

This is like an attempt for a "1 character shonen with serious storyline." Those fail. good 1 character shonens with serious storylines do not exist.

If this was maybe a seinen, and concentrated more on storyline and themes witha mature main character, then it'd be good. Or if a larger variety of unique characters were offered with humor mixed in, then it'd be good. But this guy tried something in between, which is...unheard of.

I hope Masakazu should really try and go for a slice-of-life thing. Instead of concentrating on storyline, he should concentrate on character relationships, which he was pretty good at.

Zetman is an odd thing. As with the author's other manga, the story seems to be jumping a lot of back and forth, with no clear direction. It starts off in the future, then goes back a number of years, following one character, skips ahead a few years, and after a while, changes to another character and follow him for a number of volumes, and by the end of volume 5, it still hasn't caught up to the time period it started in in volume one, nor have we seen what would appear to be the main character for two and a half volumes.
Furthermore, there is a lot of unnecessary violence. Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy violence in manga, but the way it's portrayed in Zetman is just perverted. It's basically guro, with a lot of attractive girls, usually high school girls, getting shot in the head, getting their heads smashed open, or being cut in half, while others get drugged and raped. It's primarily an annoyance, since it seems to detract from the manga, and since it serves no other purpose than to satisfy the author's perverted sexual fetish.
As always, the art is very nice, but I wish the author would take a couple of writing classes, or get someone else to write for him. It's just never been his strong side.

really enjoying it for now; not that much to read untill now.. But whats out is very good and shows lots of promise. And offcourse Katsura's art is jus gorgeous.

I had heard about this manga for years but assumed it was some kamen-rider-esque hero manga, but boy was I wrong. I've been reading it for a year now and my only disappointment is that no other group but Evil Genius wants to translate it. I love them but christ are they slow...

Finally, Masakazu Katsura came out with a series that have a cool leading hero. Only read until Vol 2, Chap 17. So far, very YUMMY.

I mean that in a good way. Devilman is a favorite of mine. If this manga was a comic book being done in the U.S. by say, Marvel, and if Devilman had been brought out by DC, somebody would be suing someone.

To me it seems like all you want is for the story to get to where the first scene in volume 1 chapter 1 was. Relax, a good story takes time, and time is what we all have. And then there's the fact that this is a SEINEN, NOT SHOUNEN manga. I'm sure you're so used to your fasttrack crappy shounen stories by now that you don't know quality even if it smacks you in the face.

I like how Zetman goes about the life of Jin, with the fights set up as accidental, almost. Quick and to the point, unlike those endless "you powered up? well guess what, I can power up too!" fights.

it may have things that people dont like, but hell its awesome to me
Its true that is easy to get lost in the story but for what i have read till now (wich is all) the story develops itself slowly (reeeally slowly) but (at least for moi) is worth it

I agree with what Anonymous said (who gave this 6/10).
This series starts out REALLY good, but then when they switched main chracters, it just goes downhill from there. You'd be wondering what the hell's going on, and such.
It starts going downhill from chapter 31 (volume 3), although you won't notice it right away. Chapter 30 also starts out the same (frame by frame, for 13 pages) as chapter 64.
It starts to get better again around chapter 64 (volume 6), where it connects to the first story and main character again.

as like most series once it gets to the main parts and stops the introductions and stuff then it gets boring it always does and if the main story started at chapter 60+ this series will be as long as gantz or prob half gantz started when kei started training the new guys in the dinosaur part i think
