4 stars out of five
4 stars – It was really good

This is the story of Maruo who always wanted to be like his favorite characters from manga. Unfortunately, his extensive training efforts have paid off two well and now he is super strong, breaks everything he touches, and wins every fight too easily. When he meets Urara, a girl being pursued by yakuza thugs, his life changes when he finds out that they are actually ayashimon, aka monsters disguised as humans. 

This was a great start to a manga and I really enjoyed Marou and Urara’s adventure so far. Marou is a young man who just wants a good fight and to read his manga. He is a bit crazy but I think that works for him. Urara is an interesting woman who is determined to get revenge against the Chairman (leader of the ayashimon yakuza network basically). 

I am really enjoying this so far and can’t wait to see how Marou and Urara’s story goes. Also the ayashimon all look really cool and the fights have been great so far.
