This is easily the worst Japanese manga ever published in Russian.
I am actually shocked that it has been published as tankobon not just in Japan, where they obviously should know better, but in other countries too! And such a lot of truly great one-shots and one-volume mangas rest unpublished and untranslated!
The art is just mediocre. Not shokingly bad, but rather bad - so it was definetely not published because of this.
The plot is non-existing. It rather is like porn, except there is no porn. A boy makes a figurine, it turns out to be alive and then without any reason, a series of battles
...
between figurines begins. Some characters appear out of nowhere and say something random (which is kinda their motivation to battle, but it may change in the next chapter) and then the fight begins - so the "plot" betwwen the battles is the same as plot in porn - it exists only as an excuse to draw more battles. Which is kind of logical, because the only other manga the author ever published is a series of hentai one-shots.
The battles were actually so boring, that it was actually the first time ever I considered dropping a one-volume manga which I specifically bought. I've read it till the end hoping for any explanation or plot twist or logic or something which would make me understand why it was published in the first place. Alas! - I never understood.
There was actually one episode in the middle when it was getting better - a story about two figurines that by accident ended up in garbage and are trying to survive. There was even some drama in it - but it ended abruptly with a comic relief and wasn't really connected to other parts of the manga except happening in the same world.
It is not "so bad that it is actually good". It is just bad. Looks like the author just doesn't know what a scenario is or how stories work. Or like he had never ever read a manga from beginning to the end or watched a film, for that matter.
I just hope that nobody ever had read this as their first manga because it is a model of all the stereotypes about manga, especially shounen-manga. It is full of unmotivated violence and pantsu and devoid of any sense or plot.
