Did Asano-sensei deconstruct shounen-shit in an amusing way?

It was nice to see Asano flex his creative muscles with some of these designs.

I'm desperately trying to search a meaning in what I've read, but I can't find it :(
If it has solution, don't bother; and if it hasn't, why bothering?

That was...interesting...
Ok so the story was about a group of heroes who've just beaten a powerful enemy. And then they start to fight with each other...And then...Something weird happens...
Alright whatever, maybe it was about something, but maybe author was just drawing what came into his head. No idea. I don't really care though, the art was great, and it was fun to read. "lol"

Ok ima just say my opinion on it and sorry in advance if it's lengthy lol. Ok it shows how thin the lines are between what is considered "light" and "dark".

Heroes fight for world peace, but during that fight, one of the heroes lost everything. Not much of a victory even if they won.

He has nowhere to return to and still None of the heroes want to live with Lord of the Flies... Except one, who offered. BUT, what did Lord of the Flies do? He turned him down, while insulting him. lol ironic.

Then, Sanbaizu patronizes Lord of the Flies, which leads to Lord of the Flies killing him. After the heroes witness the murder, they say "Oh, he deserved it, it wasn't really your fault".

Keep in mind, these are the "Heroes" who "brought world peace" Lol.

Later on, Lord of the Flies turns to the dark side. I think a good question is "What pushed him over the line?" Was it the hateful words and actions of the other heroes? Or, was it simply himself? He was also rude and hypocritical. Plus, he committed unjust murder. (You shouldn't kill someone simply bc you hate them.)

Some heroes right? Right before death, the great demon priest said, "We darkness and you heroes... there is nothing essentially that differs between us."

He was right.

You started off right imo lol "heroes" who fight for world peace but can't even find peace among themselves. The heroes were petty, rude, and hypocritical. The great demon priest told the heroes "there is nothing essentially that differs between us" and he was right. The hero "Lord of the Flies" turned to the dark side in the same day he defeated it lol i think the story was amazing

I feel like Inio's trying to say that we will never achieve a "perfect" world or utopia and that there is, and should always be evil to counteract the good in this world.

I'm not too sure, but is the Lord of the Flies going towards the evil and resurrecting him in the end? He probably feels useless, on top of not having anyone to go home to, as well as losing his purpose in life after achieving his goal of winning against darkness.

Or I'm just talking out my ass. Let's just all appreciate the character designs. Mmhm, I love me some Inio art.


I agree mostly!! But rather than having Good and Evil to Counteract, I think it simply means the lines between Good and Evil are very thin and blurry.

One of the heroes patronized another hero, right before being murdered by that hero lol. Some of the heroes were mean and hypocritical. If they are considered heroes then i'd question what exactly qualifies someone to become a hero? and what would you have to do to be considered apart of the "dark side"?

also, the demon priest said to the heroes "there is nothing essentially that differs between us". irony lol. inio is like a god of one-shot manga. very awesome story imo :D

There isn't 1 in total though, I really wish this page wasn't rated based on the single chapter because it's an entire volume long and easily available on outlets like amazon jp and the like. Hope someone translates more of it someday, wouldn't be surprised if it got licensed someday before that.

Noticed that our characters gradually vanish from those 2-page spreads, corresponding to the events in the manga. Interesting.
