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.

Great moments, but gets repetitive

by Mizura

Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

This series has hilarious moments with awesome art (for Kitano's face especially), and the concept was extremely interesting.

It gets really repetitive later on though. I soon got rather tired of the same pattern of people misunderstanding Kitano and trying to beat him up for no reason. There is not much satisfaction to be had when the perpetrators finally realize that they have the IQ of a gnat and give up. Though the series does have its highlights, often I also found myself waddling through rather generic dialogue to get to them.

Still, it was an interesting concept. If you enjoy this sort of gag comedy, definitely give it a go.

this was awesome! the art does take some getting use too, but its not that bad.
The storyline DOES get a little repetitive but if you stop and pick it up a day or two later you'll still enjoy it,
The character development is close to nonexistent for the male characters except the blonde guy, there were some for the female characters. Im a little sad that there werent more chapters because this is very amusing and very light reading.
They should have included more about his family and their little misadventures but other than that no complaints.
The ending was surprisingly good. Considering how I reaaaaaaaally dislike most endings.
All in all this was a 9/10.
Would've been 10/10 if it was a bit longer and talked more about his family.

The art can take some time getting used to, but the story and the comedy are off the charts. Its the type of manga you can reread and still find it funny. I find the story to be original along with the characters and would recommend this to anyone who wants to read something with comedy and little bit of odd romance.

Like the story, you really can't judge something or someone by the appearance. I was hesitant to read this at first because it looks so serious with the drawings and the angels and I thought it was like a dark manga. Surprisingly, it was a light-hearted comedy with some fighting scenes that will satisfy anyone.

I now love this manga and recommend it to everyone.

A very good manga! Recommended indeed!

It was a very good and light-hearted manga. The gag, which ran for over fifteen volumes, despite being overused, never got old, and was still very funny until the end. For me though, what was more funnier and enjoyable was the interaction of all the characters between each other, and how their chemistry mixed well with each other. The art, which was really, really bad at first, yet understandably so, as is the case for almost every other manga, got better and better until it got to the point where it was as good as Claymore's drawing. The characters felt more realistic, and you can clearly relate to their actions and emotions. If you actually went back and read the first chapter right after finishing the whole manga, you'll find the main character to be not scary at all, in comparison to his later image. And the ending... I think, was very satisfactory. Quite good, actually. The fact is, stories like this don't actually need any closure. Life goes on for this people these people, and situations such as those already presented will never cease happening. I really found inspiration from Yagi's final notes, how we shouldn't look at the manga as a manga called Angel Densetsu, but rather look into a world where there are silly people doing silly things. Probably another important aspect of this manga is its moral lesson, how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but in a more broader sense of view.

Anyway, this manga is indeed a very good read, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Great, great manga !

The first chapter might be hard to read for some.
As the art is really bad.
But it gets better really quick, and I even enjoy it after 1 or 2 volumes.

The story is really great, it might seem to repeat itself sometime, but it the plot is really moving forward.

It is incredibly funny. And now, that the manga is completly scanlated, you can enjoy it to it's fullest the story and it's ending !
Go for it !

A great read, if a little difficult

by EmpressWinter

I really enjoyed this manga a lot. I can't say its one of my favourites, but its worth reading all the same. It started off a bit slow, but really picked up as more characters are added. Some of those characters are quite boorish but the ones that matter, are great. It's also really nice to see multiple female characters in a manga like this that aren't simple accessories; all the girls can hold their own. It's hilarious at times, and at other times rather heavy, though in a subtle way. The length is also decent. Not too long or short.

This is great, and very different than the norm for shonen jump. Although it has some pretty good fights, what is great here are the charachters. All of them have a charm of their own, from the silly Kuroda to the crazy Ikuno. The message it tries to convey and the way it does so are also very pretty. I read this before Claymore, I hope all of this works trials and happinesses have made the author even better. Will definitely read other works by him when I get the chance.

Stretched a bit thin

by Neofit

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

This manga started out as a one-shot and you can really tell, since I think it struggles a bit to get beyond the premise, which also gets slightly repetitive and annoying since it does not fit a running series very well, but it eventually finds its focus, after which it shapes up into a good high school comedy, with a touch of slice-of-life to it. The colorful cast really brings life to it and it manages to evolve well beyond the initial gag.
