(Oh and by the way, hundreds of manga have that same character trait where the character feels guilty for childhood acts, like an actually good manga: "Kimi To Tsuzuru Utakata". Just because a culture is one way doesn't mean everyone follows it, that's impossible and not an understanding of the human psyche, particularly a child's.)

Sure I remember them, It's just that their characters haven't been implanted in my mind enough to give a shit.
I've been with this franchise for almost a decade, I don't obsess over this series like others do, so forgive me if I forget people in this extremely bloated cast of a manga I think is mostly crap.

I... don't remember who most of these characters are.

Which, haha, funnily enough, goes for almost all of this manga's entire fucking cast.

I just wish people had important roles or even, like at all, contributed to the story.
One Piece has thousands of characters, but I can still remember what each of them did for the story. Hell, I still remember that guy who's body is stuck inside that chest, on a tiny island, from a basically filler chapter extremely early in that manga. And guess what, I've only known One Piece for a year and half, I've been with MHA for almost a DECADE!!!

(2/2)Story/Characters:

Interesting premise with a cliché execution. The manga consists of 90% fighting with little character development, though the "The strongest bonds are formed in the toughest situations" saying can apply here. Characters are eerily similar to Bleach both in design, function, and looks and are all 1 dimensional. The problem with battle shounen, Is that there is no hype. No buildup. It's constant stimulation and you get numb to it without periods in between to build up tension and hype, leading to boredom no matter how good the choreography or art is. There is a story reason for this initially, but it still does not negate the issues in retrospect. Villains are extremely boring and offer nothing, despite being different in designs, they all offer the same functionality despite supposed to be filling different roles and could easily be merged into one entity with the way the awful power scaling functions.Characters are laughably overpowered, to the point where a Character who lost their right hand literally learns to become left-handed after a few swings of a sword. There is a power system in which almost every character masters or is a prodigy at immediately. Therefore, the fights have no tension or stakes behind them. The wishy washy power system leaves lots of plot convenience, anything can happen so long as the author wills it, rather than it being grounded in the power system's scaling and rules. Pretty good ending that's not rushed. The biggest issue I have with this manga is that it feels like the last arc in any other manga. All of the characters are already trained, and have already been through large moments of their lives. Unlike Naruto for example, we don't experience that with them, we are simply told them. Leading to not being attached to the characters, being told what to feel is not an effective way to make people care about your characters. As such, while all the characters have decent designs, they are all shallow. Or rather, Hollow.

Overall, If you only care about fights, this is the manga for you. I do not recommend this otherwise.

Rating: 4/10

(1/2)It's a cliché power fantasy that feels like it should be the final arc of any other manga.

Setting:

The manga is set almost entirely on an island called Paradise. (Spoiler-ish about the design of the island) The island is full of religious body horror monsters with some being quite creative. But the island itself is quite boring besides that which lives on it. The only standout areas in this entire claustrophobic area the manga takes place in is the Palace. The palace has some memorable scenery and is just as wild as the monsters that Guard it. However the fast paced nature of the manga makes it so that you can never truly appreciate the palace as there are barely any establishing shots, especially during fight scenes. The inner palace is very dark and dull, with all rooms being samey (for story reasons, alas) despite having the opportunity to be wildly different because of the characters which inhabit each room pursuing different "goals" but end up being quite plain and traditional old Japanese and Chinese architecture. The opportunity to have a truly stunning island with creative flora and fauna and an even more beautiful Palace is instead opted for a run-down, bland and barren setting in both nature and buildings. For story reasons this is acceptable, however it is insanely stale and uninteresting.
Art/Structure:

The art in general is fine. With Lackluster and mediocre panelling, choreography and layouts. Though some panels with Hatching and calligraphy-esque art are praise worthy albeit rare. The manga has many Biological-Lovecraftian horrors that are genuinely creative and unorthodox. There are a few outliers with some panels genuinely leading well into the next, which warrants praise albeit it's few and far between. Ultimately, this manga is as standard as you can get. There's no creative angles, the medium of manga is not used in any way whatsoever to enhance the structure in an out of the box way. For an action battle shounen, there NEEDS to be unending creativity to keep your reader hooked, Lest the action becomes stale. Which is exactly what happens here. So much repetition.A good thing about this manga is it's uncensored freedom. The mangaka always says that they let him "draw whatever he wanted" and that shows, that freedom you feel from this manga is pretty unique and adds to the visceral carnage of the unrelenting world of Hell's paradise.

Looked interesting until I read that it was from the author of Hell's paradise, a really bad manga in my opinion. I made a review of it on my mal.

If that wasn't enough, here's a nice little conversation in the ending chapters of them TRYING ON THEIR HIGH SCHOOL UNIFORMS AND COMPARING THEM TO THEIR MIDDLE SCHOOL UNIFORMS, THE ONES THEY WEAR ALL THE MANGA:

I'm saying this to be kind, not to be an asshole, But please, please, don't try to correct people who actually know what they are talking about. You can block me, ignore me, but if you take anything away from this little "debate", let it be that nugget of advice. Don't spoil anything either, some people don't like to know when in the manga character's life the manga ends at.

You made a mistake my friend, I own the damn park.

These are all from the ending chapters of the manga (Spoiler tagged, read at own risk):

I just wish Kishimoto who made Naruto had the same amount of passion...

Couldn't luffy just go inside that guy's stomach, turn big instantly, and defeat him that way?
Sure it's murder, but I have a feeling these guys won't just die like that.

" Saotome Shimai Ha Manga no Tame Nara!? "

No, they are in their final year of middle school. The manga ends when they graduate to highschool first year. Plus the fact they are wearing Middle school uniforms kinda gives it away.... and the fact they keep talking about entering and preparing for highschool at the end of the manga and that's a really big plot point.
Read the entire manga before trying to correct someone in future please.

The sitting in the chair with the white colouring, looking content.
If you care about spoilers, don't look it up, but if you don't, you can look it up.

I swear I just saw this earlier today on another manga.
But I sure do love spaghetti.

I don't even read this, but I noticed an Ashita no Joe reference.
That was a horrible manga.

Yes.
(I'd like to point out my "yes" was first and looked really funny, but this crappy reply system ruined it by pushing me all the way down here, and I don't get credit but user 68 does for stealing my joke. What a wonderful world.)
