Good shonen manga. The story is well-crafted though the references to Alice in Wonderland and the Bible can get a little far-fetched sometimes. Ripe with themes of good ol' friendship and people one-upping each other's super-saiyan forms until someone gets cut in half and gives a speech about how they changed for the better or some shit like that.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. Some of the most well-constructed frames and visual compositions I've seen in a manga in a long while.

Kita lsg merasakan ini adalah manga yg khas shounen, awal2 lsg diberikan adegan aksi yg melibatkan organisasi misterius dg setting suatu SMA. Artwork Minagawa sensei sy sdh mahfum, terkadang terkesan tidak konsisten dg proporsi ekspresi karater serta tubuh yg kadang berubah ubah. Namun tetap style beliau cukup menarik disimak.

[02/09/24] 6/10 for the entire series (please stop reading at vol. 19, the last 3 are pure rubbish)

[11/08/24] 6,5/10 (for vol. 1)

Just a regular shonen fighting stuff with very average artwork. Nothing that would make me continue reading this series.
