Hello Baby

Pretty good, but it feels like there's too much story crammed in for a one-shot.
One has to wonder how good it could be as a series in a more seinen-oriented magazine. Since that's how it feels it should be.

Yes, I agree with Yeran's comment. It was a good story considering its length. A realistic portrayal of gangs and such..

Hello Baby is a great oneshot ~ that could've spanned its story even wider.

An interesting story

As the title reads, this one shot manga it's a pretty interesting story, narrated with a smooth, but crude style, pretty reallistic in the relationship that are presented.
The art is nice, as expected from Obata, but not the best you could look up from him...
If you are looking for something different and in some way similar to the background on the movie: KIDS, this would really satisfy you.

nothing special, though the art is really good

story is pretty typical, didn't really affect me as much. But I do think that Obata's art is really pretty.

I thought the art was really good(pretty much what you would expect if you knew that this artist was also the DeathNote artist).

The storyline was pretty decent. It hooks the audience in, and gets you to care. And admittedly, I kinda liked the way the simple, "crude" way the characters talked.

But the ending was really interesting. I half-hated it, and half-loved it. It was satisfying in a way, but I also wanted to see something more.

So, my conclusion?
Good art.
Good plot.
Conclusion could have been better.

But mostly, it's good, so I think it's definitely worth the time to look at it.

haha, I loved this! It ended too fast though... I REALLYYY wish they continued this manga because the ending left so many unanswered questions. Still, LOVED the drama and the fast-paced action. Another great one from Obata Takeshi. Art obviously is beautiful.

I thought that this was a really good story about a realistic gang situation. The character development was really good for 50 pages, and the art was good, as you'd expect from the illustrator of Death Note. I heartily recommend it.

About the ending.

Even though he killed himself, I think that they will kill his "younger brother" and whore of a girlfriend in the end, they were enemies after all, they won't let them live or they will be killed by the other mafia group for betraying them, they brought it up themselves.

Appealing in all Respects

You just know; when the authors of Rookies and Death Note (Artist) get together, their brain child could produce a baby as exquisite as this short chaptered One-shot. And they literally left that interpretation up in the air.

The story is fast and engaging. The art is something out of the pages of fine works such as Tsutomu Nihei's "Blame". And the characters, they create themselves, through all rights and opportunities.

The end leaves you in such bewilderment, you're hoping there's more to come.

Who knows for sure if these two talented conspirers will come together again, but we do know one thing, this Baby will never say goodbye.
