Synopsis

Ginta Toramizu is a 14-year-old kid who doesn't have a lot going for him: he's near-sighted, doesn't do well in school, sucks at sports, and to top it off—he's short! But Ginta is a dreamer and has had the same dream 102 times, always in the same fantasy world, where he is a hero blessed with all the abilities he lacks in real life.

One day, a supernatural figure appears at Ginta's school and summons him to a mysterious and exciting new world! In this strange universe filled with magic and wonder, he is strong, tough, agile—and he can see without his glasses! Thus, Ginta begins a mystical quest in search of the magical items known as "ÄRMS," one of which may have the power to send him home. Joining him on this epic journey are his companion Jack and the valuable living, talking, mustachioed iron-ball weapon known as "Babbo," which everyone wants but, it seems, only Ginta can possess!

Seriously one of the most underrated story media’s I’ve ever read in my life!!

We got some fantastic characters, humor, and artwork within the story. Ginta legit is one of my most favorite characters by how he was and is now from being a dorky middle school kid to fun and seriously badass character. The story well yea it’s pretty linear and all. It’s still very well executed and worth your time going through

I honestly think the first half was alright, there’s some good parts, funny parts, and some boring parts but I think it depends on whoever reads it because I fairly think it’s ...

Mixed Feelings
MÄR is pretty much exactly what I'd expect from an 00's isekai: Kid gets teleported to a magic world, finds an overpowered weapon, has a tournament arc, and then saves the land. Despite that, I'd say it was still decently fun.

The plot points are predicatable and the tropes are hackneyed, but if you grew up with 00's anime/manga then you'll probably get the same enjoyment out of it that I got. On top of that it isn't very long (by my standards), only running 15 volumes so you won't have to dedicate tons of time to get through it. The biggest plus I can give ...

A 10 if you're looking for a case study of shonen, a 4 if you're expecting a high quality battle manga.

What separates MAR above other battle manga is that it cuts through the heart of what shonen is.

There's no filler here folks but neither are you going to get the type of 'faux' unique quality often praised from series like Naruto.

You'll definitely spot the hot blooded hero, the traditional cliches and at first MAR looks like your generic battle manga only if you read through the entire series excluding MAR Omega the sequel you're guaranteed to see a sort of elements of "battle manga ...
