Battle Club = Love

So, anyway, I was reading this article (see here --> www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/… ) about a 12-year old boy borrowing "mature" manga from the Library. After all the ado, I was intrigued: I had to see what the big deal was about.

So I got the first volume and settled down to read it. What was quickly apparent (by like... the first panel of the first page)is that Battle Club loves fan service. LOVES IT. It is one of the most obvious and unashamed series that I've read, and even knows that it's a book, which is strange and cool at the same time. Hence, there are shots like this:







Shots like this are all too common. Also, the series assumes that all the readers of this manga are prepubescent boys with the attenstion span of a goldfish... a DUMB goldfish. So, there can only be so many panels of story before there are over-the-top shots of jailbait genetalia pressed firmly against sheer clinging underwear. I was like, "What does ANY of this have to do to the story?", but I digress. You don't read this for story. You read it for fun... and the series is fun, indeed.

Here's a two page sequence from Volume 1. Stuff like this happens all the time. If you like this, you're bound to love the manga.

Of course you can study the philosophical and theological implications of partaking in such a story, or being in a culture where such a story is encouraged and enjoyed...


...


or you can just enjoy the boobies. Your choice.










Hope y'all are doing well. Talk to you soon!!
