the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Eh, I thought it was too unoriginal. I also think it's a bad idea to go the whole delinquent route when Beelzebub is doing well.

It's a bad idea to follow something popular? Since when? This is how most things work. I mean, it's fairly rare to see something that's actually original.

Besides, delinquent stuff is popular in Japan, or at least, it was, I'm not sure if it's popular nowadays.

The one-shot itself was mediocre, in my opinion. It's good (and cliché) enough to be a one-shot, serialization isn't out-ruled either, but they shouldn't bother. I would read it if it would get serialized, but I wouldn't care less if it wasn't.

The characters ain't nothing special, we've seen it all before in tons of other media, but then again, something original is a pain-in-the-ass to create.

And uhm, I didn't see the answer in the one-shot, maybe I did but I forgot immediately, but.. what the hell is a "swot"?

^Beelzebub is easily one of the best newest series Jump has seen so for it would be hard for another delinquent manga to do as well. So yes, I don't think it would be smart to go the delinquent route yet. Beelzebub is still new so unless you have a delinquent story that's extraordinary (which this isn't) it wouldn't be wise to do so. But that's my opinion.

I thought it was awesome. Not too original, sure but it was very well done. The art was really good too. Hope it gets serialized. ^^

The art was easily the worst and most amateurish part of the manga.

Overall, the manga was alright; silly unoriginal shounen, but there wasn't anything dumb, the female character was fun, and the main character was pretty cool. 5/10

This was alright, though I thought things happened way too fast. I don't know what the hell was happening when that shinigami guy did that first 'Lightening Bolt Strike'. I forgot what that girl's name was...but....I do know I saw her first! So everyone just backoff!

This better be good when it gets serialized(I'm still mad about Lock On being dropped, so I need a new replacement....>.>)

lol this manga is supposed to replace the manga Lock On! (VERY GOOD BUT SHOUNEN JUMP has to give it the f*cking axe and stop it at chapter 18...) All because Lock On! does not have enough action but it has ecchi etc... damn Shounen Jump :(

Why are you guys hating on the art? You probably couldn't do half as well. >.> You're comparing it too much with other anime/manga and not looking at it from a viewer point of view.
Anyways, it was alright. The characters show some promise, and the story was a bit cliche, but it was enjoyable.
