Mixed Feelings
We've all dreamed of having superpowers, but what if one day you're told you have one and it turns out to be the worst(or the best???) power in the world?

The story is set in a world where people called "strangers" are the wielders of superpowers and their powers are ranked from E to A(E being the weakest).
Our MC Shimonone Takara is a kid with big dreams of having amazing superpowers. He even practices his future signature moves every day in order to be ready for when his powers "awaken". If only his power turned out to be the one he actually wanted...

The comical situations our MC and his harem are involved in include many ridiculous and ecchi moments that are triggered by his "power". These situations come frequently as he's still new to it, and many times he can't control himself... literally...

Your typical comedy/shounen manga actually does well in the comedy department, but it's filled with plot cliches that become repetitive with each chapter. The character development is also cliched and unsatisfying, filled with countless flashbacks that only feel forced on the story to tie up nonexistent loose ends. And as with all harem genres, the characters' relationships disappoint.

The art is good, it does well to transmit the quirkiness and the funny reactions of the characters. The character designs are really good too, they fit all their personalities perfectly. The powers are also well drawn, specially the powers of the MC and the main girl of his harem.

Rising x Rydeen was an entertaining manga with many great comedy moments that left you laughing at the end of each "release", but felt flawed when the real plot came in.
An anti-climatic ending and an overall experience that begs for a "read the LNs for more", Rising x Rydeen is an overall good read for comedy and ecchi lovers.
