I stopped reading it after the first chapter. Just couldn't get into it. Confused

Huh, I wonder if it was axed. It had a decent beginning but the middle part was shaky and i stopped reading after a bit.

Aw too bad, after Beelze guess he doesn't have it in him to create a good comedy manga.

Valient effort. I think he should have made a series out of the dragon brothers one-shot he did a few years back.

I remember everyone speculating this would get axed a month or so ago.

Oh well, four isn't too bad, all things considered


also, I'd never read the plot before but man, that sounds like a mess

That's too bad, I was enjoying this one. But Tamura-sensei has had enough good ideas that I'm hopeful he can figure it out next time!

Personally I thought the beginning was the weak part of the manga, things only started to get interesting when they got to the school, but by then the end for the series was sealed. Shame, was hoping it would last at least another volume.

He really needed more planning ahead of time, is all. I didn't find anything majorly wrong with the initial setup, but he didn't have a coherent idea for where he wanted the story to go in the first dozen or so chapters, and that killed it.

Jump ranking voting begins after 10 chapters and the story doesn't even begin moving until chapter 15. By then he had already lost his audience, so even though it does pick up by 20-25, it was too late.

A veteran author like him should have known better, honestly. I'm kinda dismayed he had such poor planning.

Considering what Super Eyepatch Wolf said about the series, I'm shocked this didn't happen earlier.

Just hope Robot X Laserbeam is safe.

You're bugging bro. Hungry Marie was pretty funny and pretty good for what it it was, despite some of it's flaws.
