Looks nice. If only it was in English though...
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I do know the author of this manga because he stole some artwork from Deviantart and Pixiv and acted like it was his. Actually, one of the original artists was
TheDevilsCorpse from this forum. I told him to remove everything stolen from others.
Anyway, aside from the author's past and character, the art and the story don't seem to be very fascinating. It looks like yet another mediocre AF manga inspired by Toyble after all.

Yeah...
this guy (Kaduck or something). I don't know how the discussion went with Kei actually went down, but everything got resolved pretty quickly, so I'm guessing he was nice about the situation. Regardless, after that, even if his work was good, I still wouldn't read it out of principle.

He seemed to be nice when he replied to my messages and removed the problematic images very quickly, but it turned out that there was still a piece of fan art stolen from a Japanese artist on Pixiv even after he swore not to use others' art without permission. I told that to the original artist, then the image was removed several days later. I don't think he's nice, to be honest.

I thought it was a remarkable manga. So it is not, because of the artist's moral.

That's what I was thinking as well. It seems like this manga like most DBZ fan fictions have the story start off with action and jump into the fighting so soon. I mean no character development for the villain or anything.
