Niwatori Fighter
Rooster Fighter

Edit

Rooster fighter is a decent manga with amazing potential. With how far we are into the manga right now, other than its concept, it isn't really anything too special, however I can definitely see this becoming a classic. So far we have seen glimpses into the main protagonist's past and we have seen that he has some weaknesses which could lead to him ending up as a genuinely great protagonist if the author manages to play his cards right.

Art: 8/10

The art for the most part isn't anything too special although the designs of the demons are all really good.

Story: 8/10

The story is very ... generic however it is pretty good and I can see it working well for the main character's development.

Characters: 6/10

The main character is very generic and isn't as fun or interesting as I would have hoped, however I can see tons of potential with him.

The drawings are great, the story is wonderful and the fact that a person has such a imaginary power made me jealous and made me believe that people have no limit, I think this series is a short flower, but I want 600 and 700 ch to progress.

and this manga is a masterpiece, just like monalisa but better because it proves that human imagination is infinite

To call this work of art a masterpiece would be an insulting understatement, a disservice to the beautiful world, story and characters Sakuratani Shuu has created.

It's a shitpost of the highest order and that fact alone makes it an unironically ... enjoyable read. The characters are obvious parodies of typical Anime/Manga tropes, except that when the overly serious backstories are applied to non-anthropomorphic animals it transcends just a mockery, it becomes art.

Barring all the jokes, the illustrations are actually really good. Every panel is a beautiful illustration of a chicken's adventures and I'd recommend it just for that. Nothing's more exhilarating than looking at a ripped chicken in a badass pose

I hope this will never end you like one piece

this is legendary series

my favorite first three books have already entered

Genuinely baffled that a manga could lose my interest so quickly. Rooster Fighter is a manga that starts with a lot of promise with creating a fun retelling on the "strong character beats big bad demons" trope that's been all over battle shonen. It does NOT succeed within the short period that I read it.

STORY: 3/10
There isn't one... It would tell you that the characters are striving for something and have an overarching storyline that would hook you in, but it doesn't. Each chapter features a short altercation with an uninteresting foe that does nothing, except act as an excuse for the protagonist to cockledoodledoo ... at it any character moments that would make you think about anything other than demons is rushed, or uninteresting. If the plot is going somewhere it doesn't make you feel like it.

CHARACTERS: 2/10
The majority of the relevant characters are animals and that is the selling point of this manga. That's what's saying, "spend a tenner on me and not One Punch Man." That however is also the depth of each character. None of them are really worth caring about beyond the fun character designs. They're all shallow or tropey, enough so that it ends up being cringe. Investing into them doesn't do anything either, because they lose relevance after the chapter they got introduced in, which is probably why most of their introductions feel rushed.

ART: 8/10
It's not serviceable, or alright, or bad. It is GOOD. The art is what carries this manga in every sense. Sharp linework, beautiful detailing and some great shots really pull you in. The manga is boring, but at least the pictures are pretty to look at, and if that's enough motivation for anyone then it's probably worth giving a shot, but personally it isn't.

OVERALL ENJOYMENT: 2/10
Zzz Zzz Zzz. Boring, so boring. For a manga with so much action it's surprising how effective it is at being a sedative. It fails at holding attention or active consciousness.

4/10 manga, read OPM, CSM, Demon Slayer, or anything else instead
