A review of the manga in case you're considering reading it (Or reading it).
Don't let this put you off—it's a fun ride!

It's one of the best I've seen in comedy-ecchi. Seriously, it was so good. True degeneracy at its finest. The author is notorious for bad endings, but the artwork is top-tier for this genre. Prison School (by the same author) had a weak, rushed ending, and Raw Hero isn’t much different. But the artwork? Incredible. The man knows how to grab attention.

Something I have to say is... This manga was definitely axed. For those wondering: when a manga is axed, they don't say it's ... due to low sales or anything—they just announce its end. You can tell by how abruptly it wrapped up. There were clearly dropped plot threads, like the perverted neighbor and her hero squad. Even the theme of "what is a hero" was quickly glossed over when the MC rejects the title of hero.

I just wish the mangaka cared more about the story. The ending didn’t have to be good or bad—nothing surprises me after reading Metamorphosis—but there was nothing here. No resolution. It leaves a bad taste. Don’t read this for the story—it’s not good. The plot, though, is really original and adds a lot to the comedy.

The ending was AXED and left on a cliffhanger. I wanted to see a certain character happy, but it is what it is. I’d rate it 7.5/10, mainly because of the ending. Outside the ending, the artwork is 11/10, unmatched.

If it had a happy ending, it’d be in my top 3 manga of all time, which is hard to achieve.

Rushing things ruins many manga's. Once authors earn enough, they lose passion to draw and just want to live life, which is bad for fans. But what can we do? It is what it is.

I’ll still read whatever the mangaka does next, if he does. His art style is amazing. How could you not want to? Aside from the ending, it’s a masterpiece. I guess this is just Akira Hiramoto trolling the readers like he did in Prison School, even if it was worse in Prison School, this one wasn't that bad. Some might enjoy it, others, like me, were disappointed or straight up hated, which is totally agreeable. But it’s a fun ride.

That said, I’d honestly love to have a beer with this mangaka. If he’s half as insane as his works, it’d be a blast!
