This review is coming for a NFL fan, so if you are not a fan of football or you know nothing about it then just ignore this review.
Now that i have gotten that out of the way ill tell you why i gave it a 5. The good parts are the diverse characters and the art work. Just about every type of character you can think of you can find in this manga and the author does a pretty good job of meshing them together in this manga. Art work is artwork so i dont really need to go into
...
too much detail about that.
Now the parts i dont like so much pretty much deal with the football games themselves. I love manga that are unrealistic like the rest of you, naruto, OP, bleach, FMA, etc but for some reason it doesnt work for me when it comes to the game of football. (possible spoiler but not really) One of the things i hate the most is that because the devil bats (protagonists football team) dont have a kicker so every time they get a touchdown they only score 6 points. They always go for a PAT (they dont use the right terminology either which gets on my nerves as well) when they know they will miss instead of going for a 2 point conversion. Also they say they have 4 chances to attack but in real football you get 3 and then you usually punt. There are quite a bit of these little details in the manga that just annoy me.
I will probably finish the manga since i am already done half of it but i dont see my impression of this manga changing in the remaining 160 chapters.
This review probably doesnt apply to the majority of you but if you do enjoy NFL then i would suggest you skip this one. There are plenty more great mangas to choose from. I just started reading he breaker (a manhwa) and i got to say its turning out to be 1 of my favorites, try it.
