This among one of the masterpieces of the Jump catalogue,and has 2 grrat arcs the Akakabuto and the Wolf Arc,truly fucking great it has a proper ending and even a heartfelt send off,the characters names aren't hard to remember but one of the complaints I had was that in the wolf arc many previous characters were relegated to the sidelines due to how the arc is shown but the wolf arc is still great regardless apart from the 8v8 wasn't a full battle cuz the editors wanted Takahashi yo hurry and wrap it up and it still turned out great
