Synopsis

On the surface, Jin Kanzaki may seem like an ordinary street urchin, but he possesses a supernatural strength that he uses for the welfare of his fellow man, or so his grandfather wishes. Much to his chagrin, his grandchild demands 10,000 yen for every good deed that he carries out. However, Jin's modest life is suddenly thrown into disarray when he encounters a player, a deadly entity possibly responsible for several mysterious murders.

As Jin attempts to navigate the situation by punching his way through every obstacle, a group of mysterious men desperately hunt down an individual with a ring-shaped mark on their hand. As they continue their investigation, various secrets surrounding the world begin to unravel—and it seems like Jin himself might be the solution to the puzzle.

Story: superhero like (in a japanese way) but more realistic, justice is not one sided, and untill the end it's not clear what's good and bad.
Art: art is amazing, especially the character design, which is very unique. The section is very clean and the body are realistic and dinamic, creating captivating fight scenes.
Character: every characters is deeply described with their thoughts and actions, so you get very attached to them. Especially Jin and Kouga, expressing their feelings and thoughts during the story. They also well represent two sides of society and human nature.
Enjoyment: this manga kept my attention thanks to the action and the ...

Preliminary (80/226 eps)
A manga with great art, but that's all it has to offer.

An uninteresting story with a shallow development that doesn't seem to go out of place.

Apart from the characters that are very one-dimensional. Seeing Kouga screaming "justice" all the time is so irritating, and development around this theme is nil.

The art is beautiful, that's a fact. The fights are also very well done.
But that's not all that makes a story good to follow.

Anyway, it wasn't a good read. But the main point that led me to drope was because the work had an open ending for an act 2 that never came...
I see no reason ...

TL;DR: It starts off well but gets annoying and pointless after the second half.

The first part of the work is good, seeing the two childhoods and origins of the main characters until the point where they meet becomes very interesting, seeing how Kouga's perfect sense of justice clashes with the difficult reality that Jin lived, seeing the disagreement of both until a friendship and partnership begins. Up to this point the work remains good and interesting, but it starts to go downhill from there.

After this, the story just gets messy, mainly because of the character named Seiji. The manipulation he does at first is mysterious ...
