It is a very direct retelling of the events of the original Rockman game. It basically serves as a guide for how to optimally take on the bosses. It also provides some good lore and context not present in the game. The art is also very nice, quite reminiscent of Astro Boy, which had a big influence on Megaman's design in the game. Unfortunately, there isn't much to it besides that. The story moves at breakneck speed. Things just happen, and there is not a moment to even contemplate any of them. It feels like, within the blink of an eye, Megaman is onto a new robot master. Fights with various bosses never last more than 2–3 pages before Megaman defeats them with little struggle. I feel like this could've been an opportunity to give the robot masters some unique personalities, but there is barely any time devoted to any character's personality. It works for what it is, and it's obvious this was not meant to be more than just a glorified player's guide, so if you do read this, don't expect too much else out of it.
