Lady Justice is a manga that ultimately disappoints in nearly every aspect. Even going into it with low expectations, it left much to be desired. As a quick, easy read, it serves its purpose, but beyond that, it doesn’t offer much in terms of substance or engagement.

Plot: 4/10
The story follows a very basic shonen formula but with none of the excitement or creativity that makes this genre fun. The narrative centers around a female superhero defeating a new enemy in each chapter, but it lacks depth or intrigue. The premise could have been interesting, but it’s bogged down by predictable, repetitive battles and a lack ... of real stakes. What’s worse, much of the focus shifts away from the action or the plot to the heroine’s clothes getting blown off in nearly every fight. Rather than being a thoughtful exploration of a strong female lead, the manga reduces itself to superficial fan service moments that detract from any potential the plot had.

Characters: 3/10
The characters in Lady Justice are painfully generic. The protagonist feels like a cookie-cutter hero with no real personality or development throughout the series. The supporting cast is equally forgettable, serving as little more than background noise to the main action. Even the villains, who could have added some tension or depth to the story, are one-note and uninspired. None of the characters have any real depth, and their interactions lack the emotional complexity needed to make you care about them or their goals. They feel like empty shells, moving through the motions of a plot that never truly comes to life.

Art: 5/10
Unfortunately, the art doesn't do much to elevate the story either. The characters are drawn in a generic style that lacks originality, and the backgrounds are plain and uninspired, doing little to enhance the world-building. The one area where the art seems to focus is on fan service, with frequent scenes of the heroine’s clothes being destroyed in battle. If you’re into this kind of content, you might find the art enjoyable, but for me, it felt like a cheap gimmick that overshadowed any real artistic talent. There’s potential in the character designs and action scenes, but it’s buried beneath the focus on over-sexualization, making it hard to appreciate.

Enjoyment: 4/10
I struggled to enjoy Lady Justice because of its heavy reliance on ecchi tropes. The over-sexualization of a teenage protagonist is off-putting and detracts from what could have been a more engaging story. Rather than focusing on character development or creating a compelling plot, the manga seems more interested in lewd imagery and surface-level thrills. There’s little to no emotional or intellectual engagement here. It’s a shallow read that, for me, wasn’t worth the time. Fans of ecchi content might find it more entertaining, but for those looking for something with depth or substance, this manga is lacking.

Overall:
Lady Justice feels like a wasted opportunity. The concept of a female superhero could have been something unique, but it’s dragged down by an over-reliance on fan service and weak storytelling. The characters are bland, the plot is uninspired, and the art, while functional, is far too focused on ecchi elements to be truly appreciated. If you’re looking for a manga with depth, character growth, or a solid narrative, this isn’t it. However, if fan service is your thing, you might find it more enjoyable. For me, though, it was a frustrating and forgettable read.
