Tesla Note

Mission T is a secret operation to save the world from destruction. Trained as a ninja from a young age, Botan Negoro, raised to become the ultimate spy, teams up with another excellent spy, Kuruma. Their aim is to recover the legacy of the genius inventor Nikola Tesla, the "Shards of Tesla." Can the two outwit the agents of other countries who are also pursuing these fragments? A super-original spy thriller begins.

Preliminary (14/58 eps)

The story starts with a normal looking girl called Botan who lives with her grandpa. One day, she returns home from school only to be attacked in her house. She fights off the guys with ease, and then her grandpa appears and tells her that she is no ready and that the time to save the world has come. We learn that Botan was trained to be a Ninja by her grandfather, and when she hears that there’s gonna be an actual mission, she is relieved because she thought her grandpa might actually be crazy for having talked about saving the world and stuff.
She is ... then partnered with a guy called Kuruma (lol the name) who is already a pro. He is not psyched about this at all, but there’s nothing he can do. Another guy called Ryuunosuke joins them as well and from now on, they go on missions together. Ryuunosuke and Kuruma go way back though, just a sidenote.
So what is their actual mission and why the hell is Tesla involved in this? At this point, let me warn you: the science in this doesn’t necessarily make sense (not that I would know, but still) so get ready for that. They have to find fragments of some sort of diamond that belong to Tesla. With this diamond, you could basically become OP so Tesla destroyed it and distributed the pieces all over the world. Classic Tesla, I know. They will talk more about this later on in the Manga, I’m not really sure how exactly the powers of the diamond and its pieces work yet. Of course, there is another group of people who are after the diamond (CIA) so they’ll be kind of battling with each other.
On paper, it’s nothing really new, right? A trio gets lumped together, they don’t really get along with each other…immediately reminds me of Naruto, for example. Finding all those pieces kind of reminds me of Dragon Ball, so nothing exciting there, either. But I still love this and here’s why: their chemistry feels super genuine and not forced at all. Even though they don’t exaggerate their dislike towards each other, it is clear that they were expecting different types of people to work with and have to adapt to everyone’s way of doing things. I like that, because it teaches us the importance of breaking out of our own bubble and that we need to surround us with different kinds of people to teach us different things. We get to know them as they get to know each other, which gives it a really natural flow. Also, there are many funny scenes, I especially like their faces in comedic situations. And since the pieces of the diamond are spread all over the world, they go to different countries. The first mission, for example, is set in Norway, which is pretty cool. And aside from doing their mission in Norway, they tackle issues like racism and poverty as well, which I keep noticing in Manga, so…that’s neat. By the way, I don’t know how prevalent racism actually is in Norway, cause you know, you always think Scandinavia is so chill (love you, by the way) but I guess their president is very tough on immigrants, but yeah – back to the Manga. All in all it’s really wholesome and aside from the action and their missions, central themes that I found were respect and friendship, which makes it a really typical shounen, so of course I like that.
The art is very clean, it’s beautiful. The action scenes are fantastic, you can see that for yourselves. One thing I noticed (I mean, I could be wrong) is that Botan and Kuruma look kinda similar? Because right now, it’s seems like the two of them are gonna end up together, but who knows, maybe they’re actually siblings. Anyways, as I mentioned, I really love their funny faces, maybe I’m childish but seeing stuff like that makes me laugh with the right context. The backgrounds are also detailed, I seriously don’t have a single complaint about the art. It’s just good.

So I have to say that i enjoy this manga so far with the action scenes or the thriller event that happen in inside .
this manga also mix between spy fights and thief and that is awesome to see
I also like the genre of this manga , is focus a lot about action and many different mission by many different way .

I love the art so much , is making me feels the action panels more than read the speech between characters .
the story is by the same author of bunny and trigger .so I had any doubt that the story will be ...
