I've had my fair share of shonen manga and anime. Born-and-bred reader and watcher of one piece, black clover, etc. I don't necessarily appreciate this type of animanga. They are good, sure, but they aren't THAT good, with the exception of one piece. Well, the thing about this manga is that it was the first manga too touch my heart. I, too, had an emo kid phase where I thought it was just me against the world. And then I begin to learn how to rely on the people around me. This manga teaches you to do exactly that. It teaches about one's morals, what ... they plan to do, how to carry it out. Not to mention, martial arts. I'm a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, so I relate too Suou-san very well. Now, heres the review.

Story: 8/10
I'm gonna be honest. This manga has a very cliche plot. But what it excels in is the premise. Gang wars are not a very common trope, thought it has a decent amount of people that do it. But it's onpoint. It doesn't have an unnecessary amount of gangs, there isn't any drugs, blah blah blah. It's just the school trying to fight it out, protecting their own town. It goes rather indepth into the characters during the fighting, showing many different strikes one after the other that is visually able to be seen. In fact, some of the backstories were so incredibly sad I shed a tear or two. It's not your typical 'Asta-Flashback-Powerup' guy from Black Clover. He doesn't magically gets a power up. He works hard for it. It doesn't just manifest in the battlefield. However, some might find that the fights are pointlessly, well, too thought-provoking, which I did. Some scenes were very uncalled for. I would have loved, loved, loved a romantic interest for the plot. It would have been fun to see how it plays out for Sakura, although it might impact the main focus of the manga. I can understand if the mangaka does not want to do it. One thing that baffles me, however, is that it's a school. There should be teachers around. All in all, Nii Satoru did a good job on the premise and plot.

Artstyle: 10/10
This is a martial arts manga. But this manga excels in it's depictions of many techniques that it shows. The back kicks, side kicks, roundhouse kicks, even the Judo throws are all splendidly drawn. Compared too other martial arts manga in which I have no clue to what is being done, this manga draws each technique spectacularly. It is awesome. Even in crowds, Nii Satoru somehow pulls of drawing double techniques really, really finely.
In the emotional scenes, it's impact is significant. He draws the correct facial expressions, not over or under exaggerated. The tears, the attention to the hair, the details all play a important role in the scenes impact, and boy, does Nii do it correctly. 10/10, great drawing and artstyle. Especially for a martial arts manga.

Characters: 9/10
The characters in the manga were really, really well written. You have your hot headed MC that actually LEARNS something at the end of the day and values his friendship with the cast, your coolheaded Judoka and strategist, the rival that he needs to work together with, the one guy who is useless trying to help, and the guy that is popular with girls. Tropey it may be, it is executed on point. The teamwork is like no other, and the characters are explored into, with their own backstory and convictions. Though, these backstories may only come later in the manga, I promise you, it is worth the wait to see how it plays out.

Overall, this manga is a solid 9/10. It is one of the best manga that I have ever read. A good mix of friendship, engaging plot, and artstyle that is legible for a martial arts manga, well thought out characters. This is definitely a must read.

I'm going straight to the point: this is VERY Shounen Jumpish.
We have a tsundere main character with a cool design, a tragic past and an unstoppable wish to fight strong people. He joins to the worst school in Shibuya just for fighting all the banchou in there, but surprise: this bad guys are heroes that save the day of the place they live from real banchou.

The best thing about the manga is the art, without doubts. The rest is a bunch of Shounen Jump cliché one after another, from characters to story. It seems like Tokyo Revengers had such an impact that Shounen Jump had ... to do his own banchou manga, but with all their usual cliché xD

I don't know how much it'll long, I'll keep reading it, hoping something gets me by surprise but I don't think that'll happen.

At the time of writing this review, I have completed 32 chapters and 4 volumes of this manga. I must say that this manga is an extreme cliche shounen manga. The plot is average at most and those who have read Tokyo Revengers or watched the anime will find that the fights in this manga are better portrayed in this manga than Tokyo Revengers. I can also say that if Tokyo Revengers shows some sadism, this manga is completely opposite as of now and is completely trying to cancel the sadism from people. The positivity is good, but for people who are seinen fans, it ... will become too boring and will drop this manga after sometime.

Though I must say that one point to be noticed is that the art style of this manga is really good as it is with many mangas released in the recent years. I really loved how the mangaka kept the art clean. Presently only the art style is only keeping me from dropping this manga.

great manga with a bunch of heartfelt scenes n shit. didn't make me cry, but I could feel the emotion emanating off the characters. really, really good. you better take my word for it, or I will steal your ballsack.

the characters were created greatly, they have a bunch of heartfelt emotion, they all have flaws like a human character should and the story is very unique, the thought of a delinquent school, turned into the protectors of the town is a great plot set up and the author designs the story perfectly. all-in-all it's a 9/10, I recommend anybody who has been considering reading ... this a go ahead to read.

have fun on this journey!
