👤 Right, it’s COOL.

It’s so cool. As SEREGOSA wrote, it’s got no great story. You just skim through the pages.

I like it the way it is. When you’re into some cool action scenes like those in OnePunchMan, you should read this one.

The setting is different but the vibe is same.

👤 Chuunibyou trash
by Seregosa — 1 year ago
Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

This is painfully obviously for young teenagers or children who greatly enjoy cringeworthy chuunibyou stories. Just your typical, generic shounen battle manga with no thought given to logic or proper storytelling.

It plays way too heavily on the “cool” aspect and everything is drawn and written to be “cool” but comes off as cringeworthy at best for trying too hard to be “cool” without actually having any depth in the story.

“Oooh, look at this fatty who retired and got fat who was once a super assassin and for some reason is still super powerful and also all the other assassins who pretend to be so cool, doing supposedly cool shit for no reason other than coolness”, all while the “cool” stuff really isn’t cool to adults and the story is messy at best.

Not worth reading at all unless you REALLY like generic shounen battle manga that isn’t clever enough to be read by most adults. Many shounen manga can be enjoyed by adults too, but I really feel like this can’t be since it’s so juvenile.

Then this is probably what his life would have become. Kinda.
