To anyone wondering if this manga is worth reading, YES! Give it a chance! I will give you a heads up though, if you're obsessed with action and power scaling then this might not be for you since the story mainly revolves around psychological aspects rather than brainless fights.
For a shounen manga, I never expected to see such a unique cast and writing style. Usually they just throw a bunch of drama and "that guy's the top dog!" nonsense here and there, but this manga proved me wrong.
It broke the highschool fight troupe cliches and became more than that. It taught valuable lessons, advice, and had some realistic aspects at play. Not to mention them adding in some representation for lgbtqia+, which is EXTREMELY rare considering they outright confirm it in the manga, not just sprinkling in some hints so that homophobes can use it as an excuse to call us delusional. The emphasis on relationships (not romantic, so far there are only 1 canon couple here, and the other implied to become one but not yet fully confirmed) is also nice since it teaches the manga's audience that family and lovers aren't everything, and that you have your friends to rely on even during difficult times. I may also point out the fact it shows a lot of characters with mental health issues, and how the author dealt with some of them was quite nice. Trust me, we're not all evil psychopaths/sociopaths, we just really need help and proper guidance.
Overall, it's a great read if you want to read something that's psychological with a balance of action and thrills in the mix.
(p.s: Before anyone argues, yes, this manga is confirmed to be inspired by Tokyo Revengers since the author is a fan, but it has it's own charm and base to it. You guys can shut up if all you wanna do is compare them. Thanks for reading!)
