Hmm interesting, a series about golf...

I don't read many manga series related to golf so this felt unique to me. Plus, the mechanics of the gameplay and the characters show quite a bit of talent too. Interesting to see where this goes.

I've just read it as well and I found it quite likable but I've also read some people hating on it already.
It's quite silly to start hating something with one chapter available so far but hey, Internet...

Tbh this kind of feels like Mob Psycho 100 converted into a sports manga. I really like that tbh, the concept of a ridiculously op character is what makes One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 great and I think this concept will work great in this manga as well^^

It seems that we will get explanations on golf specific terms similar to Haikyuu giving explanations at the start. This is great because Kuroko no Basuke didn't explain the sport at all and that's what I disliked about it.

The characters so far seem to be good as well.

Interesting to see a manga about golf. I play a bit and think this could be a good read. Hope it does well in Japan because I want to keep reading it.

Really interested to see Robo's take on putting and sand shots. Might even help my game.

Since this is written by the Tadatoshi Fujimaki i was really looking forward to it. Like in Kuroko no Basket the protagonist has a weird characteristic, which turns out to be his strenght.
I'm ready for more strange abilities like that.

Really like it so far, hopefully it will live up to my expectations.

What is with this manga and emotionless characters lol

Either way, this was a great start and I really enjoyed this debut chapter....The art style is nice, the pacing wasn't too fast or too slow, we got nice introductions to what I'm guessing are going to be 4 of our main characters and they laid out the sport and the way it's played pretty clear and we had some cool laughs straight through xD

Not sure which one of the new series that I like the most now between this and Dr.Stone

I actually like it. Been wanting another golf series other than King Golf. Being a golf fan, as soon as I heard about the manga, I was excited to hear Fujimaki is the mangaka for the series so I hope he keeps making the story more interesting enough for it to survive!

Hmm I'm not sure whether I want to give it some time for an anime adaptation and watch that one instead but I really enjoyed this first chapter!

Those characters obviously reminded me of a Aomine+Midorima hybrid and Kuroko but that's actually a good thing!

I think I'll stick around a little longer...

I wonder what challenges Robot will possibly face in the future. His shots are already demonically straight and his accuracy will just get better and better as he plays. Maybe he is meant to be the One-Punch Man of golf?

He does seem to be an amalgamation of a few KnB characters.

Kuroko's personality.
Murasakibara's lack of enthusiasm for the sport.
Haizaki's hairstyle.
Hayama's hair color.
Midorima's glasses, obsession with details, and highly accurate long distance shots.

This reminds me so much of Baby Steps and unless we get to see him struggle a bit it won't be as good.

I'm sorry for up first chapter, but I think is more likely my doubt to be solved in here xD

I saw lots of threads in other sites, and looks like Robo's name 'Robato' is the katakana reading for Robert.

Robert is a very common name with historical features in Scotland (country of Robo's mother).

Since many anime characters with Western names keep them (like Death Note's Light and Kyou Kara Maou's Conrad) couldn'd be more appropriate to do the same wih Robot? Or I'm being late and there's already a statement towards it?

@stark700 what you think?
