Angel Densetsu

Description

The story is of Kitano Seiichirou, a very kind and pure-hearted young man, with a horrifying, monstrous face. People being what they are, they think he's a terrifying delinquent, and there are plenty of chance misunderstandings (coupled with Kitano's convenient inability to understand what's happening around him) that propel him into the position of "school guardian", a.k.a. head thug on campus.

Funny, but also more than meets the eye

Angel Densetsu is an episodic comedy shounen manga.
It features various very different characters, whose interaction makes up for a funny but also strangely honest and refreshingly different manga, that manages to life without eye catching stuff like "fan service" or gore (I don't generally dislike these though, Franken Fran is a masterpiece almost only consisting of these).

The art is unusual at first, and becomming more generic later. I'm not sure if I prefer the later volumes with the typical eye pleasing manga looks, or the beginings with the unusual, but well done art, that perfectly fits the premise.
Anyway, since both art and story developed in the same pace and into the same direction, neither of the art styles seems to be out of place, rather than underlining the change of understanding, that the people surrounding the male lead have of him.

Also I have to mention that this manga, in fact, adresses some serious problems of society. it focuses on violence and prejudice, but there are some othe points as well, all of them depicted in a funny, yet not silly and strangely realistic way.
In this regards it is surprisingly deep, without getting too serious, or "Anvilicious".

I would say that it's a true masterpiece, being able to reach a relatively wide audience without turning generig or mainstream. You won't find many comics (or other types of stories) capable of doing so, which is the reason I can recommend anyone, not just shounen manga fans, to take a look at it, and see if it piques his/her interest.

I completely loved this manga. It's very hilarious and there is not one part that is not enjoyable. i haven't read any manga that one person can be this misunderstood, nothing is forced so it's not annoying like some other mangas where they just try too hard to make you laugh. The art isn't good but you could always just ignore that cuz I did and after a while you will just get use to it.

It was a good manga. It is those typical mangas where you are always being misunderstood. It was funny at first, but it kind of got repetitive. Overall good manga to read if you are feeling down.

Repetetive, but still good.

This is a great manga. The comedy is great, art is different, but not bad, though the jokes do get repetitive, there is some story development, at least. Don't expect that much romance out of it. It's not a huge part in this manga.
Also it may be hard to look at the main character

I admit I was a bit (very) put off at first with the drawing of the manga since I'm really fussy about it... but for the first time in my life, I forgoed it due to the fact that it was HILARIOUS!!!! It's just so ridiculous you won't be able to stop laughing!
it's not something that can be explained in words - read it. it's completely worth your time, especially if you're feeling down.

The manga has like no plot to it at all and sometimes it gets a little repetitive. However, the hilarious misunderstandings in the story never gets old and keeps you entertained. I reccomend this to anyone who likes comedy.

surprisingly great

I was amazed at how much I liked this manga considering its poor start. At first, as you can guess from the manga description, it's a comedy playing on the main character's looks and misunderstandings of those around him. It's somewhat repetitive but still entertaining enough to keep your interest.

However, the manga really picks up after the first person realizes Kitano's true nature. The manga moves away from comedy and adds in more character development until it's almost completely character development with comedy as filler material. People come to understand and improve themselves. Heartwarming relationships are formed. As you watch the characters slowly develop, you'll become genuinely attached to them and find joy in their occasional antics.

I strongly recommend this series to everyone. Everything about it, including the artwork, starts out weak, but improves with each chapter. By the end, you'll definitely come to love the characters and enjoy the manga.

This manga is nothing new, the story is cliche and the art work is terrible.
Even so this is an amazing manga. The art, dispite itself conveys, exactly what its trying to show. A terrible faced person with a heart of gold. Usually i find a plot based around misunderstanding fustrating and annoying, but this manga has somehow done it flawlessly.
Without a doubt i suggest to manga to everyone. A lighthearted read thats funny and enjoyable. 3 thumbs up.

I rarely comment on series or will plug a series. But this one is great! The characters are very well defined, and the art is simple, but just detailed enough to tell a good story. The plot of how people change through time is very heartwarming and the ending, albeit slightly cheesy, is very appropriate.
