Another gag manga from the author of destroit metal city. The raw is available for free on the manga park app (along with the author’s other works).

A Gag manga about a group of fist-of-the-nothern-star-style super heroes and their live in the peaceful modern society. The manga introduces a new warrior every few chapters. It is a mix of action, comedy, and romance.

Action: the main character Kappei and other warriors are masters of some kinds of super human martial arts. Each of them practice a particular style such as the tiger style and snake style. There is no real enermy to fight against though. The ... warriors fight with each other for some stupid reasons.

Romance: this is actually a big part of the manga. Each of the warriors has a love interest but their romance doesn’t go very well partially due to how they struggle to fit in the society. The main guy fell in love with a cheerful college girl. Much of the story surrounds how he awkwardly approaches the girl.

Comedy: this is mainly a comedy manga. A recurring joke decpicts how the warriors trained bloody hard when they were younger (such as pulling a huge rock with a rope by their teeth);meanwhile, their master would say something like
“in this world, there are girls who miss the last train home, but this has nothing to do with you because you are the warriors of the apocalypse. If a girl tells you that she misses the last train home, that is the same as saying she would spread her legs for you. If you give a little push, you should be able to do her. This has nothing to do with you…For the sake of saving the world.”
And then camera would zoom on to the boy’s bloody determined face. The flashback usually happens when the main guy Kappei encounters such sotuation in real life, but he is ususlly in complete dilema of what to do because he was only raised to be the savior of humanity in a post-apocalypse world. Lots of time, he misses opportunities to get closer to the girl he likes to save someone in need. At the same time, he and other warriors are just normal young men who can fall in love or even get horny (they are very much attracted to ecchi materials) but are too embarrassed to do it openly because that is not hero-like. That dilmma makes the manga funny.

Character development: there isn’t lots of character development. Certainly, the main guy becomes more and more assertive in his love but that is about it. That is to be expected because the characters need to stay in characters to maintain their gag factors. Different warriors have their own gag favtors. For example, one of them always get beat up; one is fat; one hits his own butt for his super.

Ending: don’t expect too much. That ending might piss off some people. It is surprising though.
