5/10 Mediocre
So ill start by saying i Did have a lot of fun with this manga, but honestly the story is almost non-existent. This is a story that never takes itself to seriously and is mostly for fun. The Main Character Tachibana Rintaro is funny and his main story issues are just hilarious to me. He has been diagnosed with Hentai syndrome which basically translates to a disease that means if he is turned on to much he will literally ... die and what ensues in the story is basically the main character avoiding so much T&A that Hugh Hefner would be jealous. So just know going in that there is tons of fan-service in this story but there is almost no romance which is honestly pretty rare for manga with a lot of fan service. This is not your average harem/ecchi manga. Ya the main Protagonist is pretty much unbeatable and does most of his fights with ease, but the catch is he is not just getting every girl, because he is actively avoiding them so he doesn't die but they sure do make it hard on him lol. In the end the story is funny and all but it is nothing special, the main story arc can pretty much be described in 10 words but if you know what your going into its still enjoyable. The battle scenes are great and its a quick read and definitely worth it, But not any better than decent at best

6/10
The Art is respectable. The character design and their expressions are enjoyable , Some characters obviously received more love than others but overall the art style is done well and it matches the universe the writer has crafted. Over the top and dramatic with absurd and flashy battle moves with flashy art to go with it. Its honestly very enjoyable but it is by no means a masterpiece, Not even close to bad, but definitely not a masterpiece.

Honestly , these characters are hilarious and there are three of them in this story that I really think are done great and they are just so fun to watch and enjoy. The first and best character is of course Tachibana Rintaro(our main protagonist) The thing that makes this character so good and so funny is his handicap that the writer gives him. The rare disease he has is almost essential to his character as it is the reason for everything that he does. I found myself laughing out loud at my boy rintaro and honestly his pop culture jokes and how he reacts to the other characters around him just had me smiling anytime he was on the page. The second best character is named Ayane, there isnt much to her but she is very lovable and her commitment to learning Rintaro (her masters) fighting style is very cute. I like their relationship because Ayane doesn't have romantic feelings for Rintaro and instead seriously views him as her master in his fighting style and i like this because this is a very rare thing in these type of manga, a girl who isn't interested in diddling our protagonist and dont get me wrong i enjoy romance and beautifully drawn female characters like the next guy but its nice to be surprised and not have the same old same old ( shes a fun character) My third favorite character is Tachibana Kentaro (rintaros father) not much needs to be said about this guy but you can definitely see why rintaro is the way he is. The father character is well done and gives you the dad jokes vibe throughout the manga which i find refreshing because i love bad dad jokes. to sum it all up the characters are good if you are looking to smile and laugh and not take anything to seriously.

I dont care what anyone says, I enjoyed this managa so much, i finished it so quickly and i read 2-3 volumes a night. I was laughing and smiling throughout at the absurd story, characters and battle scenes. The mix up of the setup to the story really made this a good one for me. I definitely would recommend this to people who can laugh at absurd, for no reason, fan service. Its a fun time and I dont regret a second of it, even though the story is only decent at best and the art is so-so, Im glad i found this one =)

Story: 4/10
Art :6/10
Character: 7/10
Enjoyment:10/10

overall the story is not anything special at all but has its charms, the art style is passable and works in the world and story but isn't a masterpiece by any means, although the battle scenes are very well done. The best part of the story is the main characters, they are all; Love-able, Kind, and Funny. These characters are the main thing that kept me reading. All in all i really enjoyed this more than i expected and i recommend it to anyone who can not take it to seriously and just have fun with the absurd premise and just know that there will be fan service **Shocker** lol

From the beginning the manga isn't something that's going to blow you away. Definitely feels like other martial arts shows with ecchi elements like Kenichi or Tenjo Tenge (anime adaptation). But it seemed like it would at least be enjoyable and it was for the first half. The first half felt like a 6.5, but after chapter 24 it goes down hill. They rapidly introduce new characters and try to introduce new plot threads while wrapping up old ones. I very much get the feel that the author may have been pressured to cut the manga short since the last 20 chapters are riddled with ... blatant references, is extremely rushed and is just bland overall. Being generous I'd give the last half a 4 and that leaves me somewhere in the middle with a 5. I remember dropping it at exactly chapter 24 a couple of years ago, but coming back to it I got a conclusion. Sadly, it wasn't at all satisfying.
