Apparently, this comic is something of a fandom darling. Which baffles me. Not because I think it's bad - there are a lot of fandom darlings that I dislike - but because there is *literally nothing* in here that you haven't already seen in other shonen manga written before, concurrently with, and after it.

Bad comedy is just the absolute worst thing to write about. It's like trying to pump water out of a salt flat.

You know, I think that bad comedy might be my absolute least favorite thing to review.

Daily reminder of how much great art we haven't gotten in the last few decades thanks to these working conditions.

There are some clever, funny, and inventive moments throughout this double-length intro chapter. There just aren't enough of them, and the stuff between them is a boring, forgettable, poorly-paced, generic slog that fails to distinguish itself from the thing it's ostensibly parodying.
