RaW Hero, Vol. 1

Product Information

Art: Looks very similar to Prison School, which is to say really great. It emphasizes a sense of photorealism, which really highlights the clash between the insane events and the realistic visuals. Hiramoto also draws maybe the most fetishy manga women I've ever seen outside of Hentai, so if you enjoy that style you'll like this. 9/10

The story follows a bespectacled pretty boy in his early twenties. His parents died some time ago. He found himself responsible for taking care of his younger brother, who may be in high school, and of his other much younger brother, who's a kid. He has promised to them that he's going to get a great job that will pay well enough that they'll live in a highrise building instead of in their current hovel. His brothers dream of eating foods that most others take for granted. Anyway, no matter how many interviews our protagonist goes to, he remains unemployed. Not to say too much on the story events, but there are people with super powers. Apparently, the gov’t is hiding a lot of information. There is a group set on trying to liberate that information, and our protagonist (in a misunderstanding) is hired to infiltrate an anti-gov’t group. Honestly.. I wasn’t a fan of the first few chapters, the artwork and funny characters are partially what kept me around. I found the manga to be a fun read, definitely made me laugh out loud a few times. The plot was decent, and there are a few minor plot holes, nothing detrimental. Raw Hero is written by the same mangaka that made Prison School. The artwork, line details, it’s all very well done. In my opinion it ties things together and makes this an enjoyable read. I also shamelessly enjoyed how the ecchi was incorporated, and all the “scenes”. The banana video was my favorite, it was freaking hilarious.

Interest Stacks

Il y a également une forme de dénonciation par moments des personnages sur le fait que certain homme profite de la naïveté de certaines femmes pour profiter d’elle et cela m’a bien plu ! weird. Sets itself up as kind of an X-Men superhero story, before becoming a crossdressing harem romance, with some chapters of pure sex comedy and some chapters of shonen fight scenes. I'm honestly not sure it even has a plot, given how seemingly random everything is. At the very least, the ending is extremely dissapointing, giving zero resolution to the romance, the superhero plots, and literally not mentioning what happened to a few of the major characters. The manga might be trying to make some kind of point that fixating on the larger plot is pointless and you should just have fun along the way, but it just comes off as disjointed and unsatisfying. I'd give it 4/10. This shows promise. Chapters 1-3 were quite hilarious and riveting. Chapters 4-5, where more action takes place, was actually the lesser part of this volume for me.

The characters are polarising, since they're not very fleshed out and seem to more be tools for comedy than actual human beings with personalities. It is difficult to emotionally connect with any of the characters we meet in volume 1.The suit he is given to wear to an interview( by the man with the sex worker) is accidentally swapped with a fictional idol character that the sex worker was supposed to role play as. The protagonist has two younger brothers to support and is very pressured to make a lot of money, forcing him far outside his comfort zone. Sherman, Jennifer (July 4, 2019).

Pour les fans de prison school, vous serez ravie de découvrir ce nouveau titre d’Akira Hiramoto, mais pour ceux qui le découvrent comme moi, cela peut être une belle mise en abyme du mangaka ! The art is very similar to Prison School, which is to say really great. It emphasises a sense of photo-realism, which really highlights the clash between the insane events and the realistic visuals.

Statistics

Final thoughts: Prison School's ending pissed people off because it was a manga they loved and the ending robbed them of a satisfying conclusion. While this ending was also rushed and unsatisfying (it may have been axed prematurely) I don't actually care enough about the story to be that upset by it.

There is a character with a sex worker he is paying throughout all 5 volumes in various acts. This author ties off the wall stuff like that into comedy and his story. It reminds me of dark comedy like Jimmy Carr. The fact that this author goes so far is a part of the magic formula. In North America, the series is licensed for English release by Yen Press. [7] Volume list [ edit ] No. Overall: 5/10. Its a work with alot of flaws, but at the very least it will stand out in your memory. Nov 20 From the U.S. to Japan, You Can Control the Life-Size Moving Gundam from the Comfort of Your Own HomeEnsuite, l’histoire m’a vraiment bien plu. C’était la première fois que je lisais ce mangaka et ce fut une belle découverte. Dès le début, j’y ai découvert une ambiance particulière qui se dégage de ce manga. Our guy is having a hard time: his life is becoming increasingly demented, and he needs to assert his strength and get taken seriously as a woman in the shady organization. Soon enough he finds himself crossdressing in public for no reason. He's losing the sense of his own identity, and at times he ceases to give a shit about anything. Character: Characters are polarizing, since they're not very fleshed out and seem to more be tools for comedy than actual human beings with personalities. I wanted to avoid making this whole review a comparison to Prison School, but the characters in PS had fleshed out personalities and were easy to become emotionally invested in, which I can't really say was the case for Raw Hero.
