This is one of the few works that I feel compelled to leave a review, and when I come here to read what you thought of the work as a whole, I'm very surprised that most haven't read everything (In fact, I couldn't even find a review from someone who has read everything). It's a little frustrating because the final stretch, and this entire sixth season was the peak of the work, I was so immersed and moved by everything that even though it wasn't fully translated into my language, I made a great effort to read but scans in English, I didn't miss anything! ... I don't regret having shed tears over the mistakes and successes of TGHS, a work of pure madness. I admit, I have a weakness for endings like this, something on the emotional and power scale like gurren lagan, lots of screaming, fighting, despair and crying.

I dedicate this review, to this work and the author, who worked so hard to reach this beautiful conclusion.
"Do whatever you want!"

God of Highschool is a manga that's going, you're along for the ride and it's REALLY going. And then it keeps going. And going. And going. And going And going And going And going And going And goingAndgoingAndgoingAndgoingAndgoingAndgoing... until you're not sure why anything is happening in the first place. The final battle puts Lone Wolf and Cub to shame in terms of sheer length, the villain's backstory basically boils down to that meme from the Trolls movie. It gets so tedious that I kept thinking as I read each chapter that the story should have ended 50 chapters ago. Yet until that point, it ... was a pretty good read, so it really comes down to your personal taste on extended fight scenes. You may stop caring at some point, but god damn they look beautiful. The art never drops in quality even once. Overall, a mixed bag.

This Manga is average. It's incredibly average. Average characters, average fights, boring Good vs Evil with no nuance. Cliche after cliche, so many forced events. The manga feels forced with absolutely no flow.

The story is boring. Good vs evil, whatever. Why is there a religious organization? Because it's cool. Why don't the audience react weirdly when they experience supernatural phenomenon? Who knows.... it's never explained. The Art is pretty good. The characters....... some are cool, most are just uninteresting.


The only redeeming quality of this entire series is the awesome relationship that the protagonist has with his grandfather and the underlying philosophy of "Do ... what you want". A slice of Life manga with just the two of these characters and this philosophy would be amazing, but instead we're stuck with this mediocre graveyard. I read this far because I hoped to see this philosophy show itself more, but alas it did not.
