I enjoyed barrage, even though it was pretty short. Shame that it ended, it looked like it could have been something cool but it felt so rushed.

This will be the first time this comic is available legally in Europe.

It was originality printed June 2012 and there was no sane factor blocking it's legal European consumption.

I would like to point that out.

Wow, how it gets B, B- , B-. I though this series is a D or C-. I guess ANN reviewer must like this kind of manga.

as if Horikoshi had planned for more than two volumes initially and suddenly been given the news that he would only have a duology to work with.

Actually, that's more or less exactly what happened. The series dropped like a total rock in the reader rankings in Weekly Shounen Jump, which caused the author to have to rush things in an attempt to bring the ranking up.

Unfortunately, it stayed at the bottom and was ultimately canned.

It's jump in a nutshell. Bemoaning it's nonsense is like complaining at the tide going back and forth.
