Konnichiwa!
Today I will be reviewing the shone manga "Junk-Record of the Last Hero-" or Junk for short. Junk?!? How could anyone think that "Junk" is a good name for a manga?! Well I thought the exact same thing which is why I took the time to read it , so here goes.
Story/Plot
Junk is the name of a kamen rider/power ranger looking suit mixed with a downgraded iron man armor(COMIC BOOK REFERENCE!!!). Basically there is guy in high school who is raped/bullied/forced to eat worms or something that requires a group of teenage guys to grab him take his pants+undergarments and say"Hurry and get the worms!"... Yeah so that makes the main character Hiro Yuuki stay far away from school for a long while, surfing the Internet and eating ramen. But eventually that serves him well as he stumbles upon an Internet contest/raffle that is offering "Junk" as the prize, with nothing better to do he signs up,wins(along with 1 other person) and gets the Junk super suit mailed to his door and there begins his adventure while choosing to be a hero or to use the junk suit for his own selfish desires.
Art
Junk-Record of the Last Hero- is drawn and written by Kia Asamiya who has created many works such as Batman:Child of dreams and Steam Detectives (may get reviewed later on). The art is definitely influenced by comic books as how the style is slightly more realist then others, sometimes I wonder what goes on with some of the lesser characters because their faces can look a little troll facey sometimes the character design is good and the action flows nicely although it seems a little confusing a few times like something important happened in between the panels that I missed but over all the art sets itself apart from the average manga.
Final Remarks
Overall Junk-Record of the Last Hero- is really good as a superhero/villain type manga and as a shonen manga. Junk is currently available in English in bookstores and online so BUY AND READ!!!
SAYONNARA!!!
