Xavier-kun's manga review: Hungry Joker


Hungry Joker by Yuuki Tabata
Shonen Jump has released yet another amazing manga, after the first chapter I was HOOKED! Hungry Joker is a prime example of what shonen jump is all about, big enemy's and organizations, cool characters (you can expect some cosplay soon enough from Angie-chan) and amazing, explosive, over the top, powers.

 Story/Plot
The story behind Hungry Joker is pretty original with some similarities that all Jump manga have(spiky hair, cross dressing, etc) with the main character being Haiji(last name unknown) who has a magic apple that gives him the power over !^#&*%$ (read to find out his power, KERO KERO KERO) and his assistant Toriiooji Chitose who join the secret organization "White Joker" to fight the evil power of the "Mavro's" who consider themselves gods and that humans are useless and need to be destroyed.

ART
The art for Hungry Joker is Bleach-esque if anything but still presenting a new approach to shonen manga all the same.With character design they all look original and powers look amazing, I truly think that the anime will be amazing if done by studio Madhouse(HunterxHunter, Deathnote, Dragon Drive).

Final Remarks
In conclusion Hungry Joker can be boiled dow to "just another shonen manga" but that should't stop you from reading it at all.
