Have you ever wanted a series which is just a tournament arc, but it is well written and has amazing fights?
Series such as Baki and Kengan Ashura are usually brought up into the conversation. But one recent series has blown me away and that is Records of raganarock. Now I don't think that it is currently as good or better than Baki or Kengan ashura , but I do think Records of raganarock has potential to be a modern classic with its amazing concept and fantastic fight scenes.



Story-6
Yeah....
Its kinda meh. Every 1000 years the gods decide whether humanity continue ... their existence or not. They decide to end humanity. But 1 valkyre interrupts and proposes a tournament with 13 gods and 13 humans facing off to decide the fate of humanity. Nothing revolutionary, but it is solid enough for a fighting focused manga.


Art- 10
The art is out of this world.










I rest my case.



Character- 8-9
I think the author has nailed the personalities for each god and human perfectly. From the characterization of Lu Bu as a badass, Jack the ripper as a sadistic killer and Hercules as a honest and valiant. While I am not the biggest fan of excessive flashbacks in anime and manga , I actually enjoyed the flash backs in this manga. I liked how they explained why each human is op and how they incorporated some of the actual canon history law into it. Overall, I enjoyed the characters.




Enjoyment- 9

This was such a entertaining read. Every fight (especially the 2nd) was amazing. I could easily go back and read some of these fights again.


Overall- 8

The only thing that is stopping me from giving it a 9 is that it only has 41 chapters (by the time this is written). But I do believe that this series has a lot of potential to be a modern classic in the future.

Whether you love it or you hate, Boku no Hero Academia is arguably one of the most popular manga/anime series in recent history. I personally think that overall, it is a decent series but with a couple of issues that stop it from getting a higher score.

Story- 6-7
The story at times can be very repetitive and boring. There doesn't need to be a training arc in between every arc. I doubt anyone wants to see class 1A vs 1B for the 3rd time. But when My Hero focuses on the antagonistic force, that is probably when it ... is at its best. The later arcs are definitely where the story is at its best. Overall the story is pretty decent.


Art- 9
The art is amazing. The panels are very clear and are consistently up to this quality. The fight scenes are clear and portrayed very well. Overall I loved the art.


Characters- 6-7
There are a some good side characters that are well written. For example the antagonistic force is very good and there are some side characters that are also very good. But there are many characters that are sorta useless and don't add anything to the story. Besides about 5-6 characters in class 1A, the other members are kinda irrelevant. Furthermore the protagonist Deku gets outshined by many of the other side characters in the story. This may not be new in the shounen genre for the side character to be better than the protagonist. But when there is a character who could literally replace the main character and outshine the protagonist in 10 chapters, then there is a problem with your protagonist.

Enjoyment- 7
I did enjoy the series. It is a very fun read but some arcs are boring and repetitive such as the training arcs and the tournament arcs. But in the later half of the story , it does get better and I am enjoying the current arc.


Overall- 7
While My Hero does have some flaws, it is still a very solid shounen series. Is it the best shounen? No, it isn't anything revolutionary and there are other shounen series that are better. But it does deserve some praise within the manga demographic.
