The original artwork, which was by the Mangaka (Author) himself ONE was terrible; however the plot was very entertaining, even if it was quite random. Once ONE's work was adapted by YUSUKE MURATA the story seemed to progress more and at times you would forget that the manga is a PARODY and will make you focus on the ACTION and COMEDY. Although people may think that this manga, that has now been turned to a popular anime, isn't anything to fuss over. If you have read it, it is manly for enjoyment so I say give it a try as it is currently in my 'Top5 Favourite Manga '!
