This is simply a work of art beyond the imagination of men, even the Mona Lisa pales in comparison to the art of this amazingly well structured and written Manga.

What the author managed to accomplish in this work is just astounding, his name will go down in history alongside the great artists such as Michelangelo, Rafael and Da Vinci.

I can't explain how deep and intricate the story telling is (even the NTR parts) it is simply past everything ever written, what is Berserk, Vagabond or even Vinland Saga when compared to Niwatori Faita?

Bottom line is, this is a must read for every manga fan, ... it will trully enlighten you and open your third eye!

Rooster fighter in an unironically exceptional manga with great potential for the future.
The premise may seem silly; a shounen about a badass rooster fighting monsters. But the execution is sublime.

Story: It only spans 3 chapters so far, but has managed to capture both deep emotion and humor in a short amount of time.

Characters: The protagonist, despite being a rooster, manages to feel badass and mysterious.

Art: It is reminiscent of the One Punch Man manga, and the action scenes are exciting and well executed, full of puns and one liners.

Enjoyment: I wholeheartedly enjoyed the first three chapters as a refreshing and novel experience.

Genuinely baffled that a manga could lose my interest so quickly. Rooster Fighter is a manga that starts with a lot of promise with creating a fun retelling on the "strong character beats big bad demons" trope that's been all over battle shonen. It does NOT succeed within the short period that I read it.

STORY: 3/10
There isn't one... It would tell you that the characters are striving for something and have an overarching storyline that would hook you in, but it doesn't. Each chapter features a short altercation with an uninteresting foe that does nothing, except act as an excuse for the protagonist to cockledoodledoo ... at it any character moments that would make you think about anything other than demons is rushed, or uninteresting. If the plot is going somewhere it doesn't make you feel like it.

CHARACTERS: 2/10
The majority of the relevant characters are animals and that is the selling point of this manga. That's what's saying, "spend a tenner on me and not One Punch Man." That however is also the depth of each character. None of them are really worth caring about beyond the fun character designs. They're all shallow or tropey, enough so that it ends up being cringe. Investing into them doesn't do anything either, because they lose relevance after the chapter they got introduced in, which is probably why most of their introductions feel rushed.

ART: 8/10
It's not serviceable, or alright, or bad. It is GOOD. The art is what carries this manga in every sense. Sharp linework, beautiful detailing and some great shots really pull you in. The manga is boring, but at least the pictures are pretty to look at, and if that's enough motivation for anyone then it's probably worth giving a shot, but personally it isn't.

OVERALL ENJOYMENT: 2/10
Zzz Zzz Zzz. Boring, so boring. For a manga with so much action it's surprising how effective it is at being a sedative. It fails at holding attention or active consciousness.

4/10 manga, read OPM, CSM, Demon Slayer, or anything else instead
