Read 2 titles my co-workers recommended for me this weekend, both have common themes in them, Overpowered Protagonists.
First one is
Gun x Clover
Story of a rookie merc in an escort mission to save a girl with supernatural powers and with 7 different personalities. While the protagonist acts like a weak rookie, he's actually one of the 13 Master ranked mercenaries in the world. His character reminded me pretty much of Edward Elric from FMA, whenever you call him a "shrimp" or short, he'll go berserk and kicks the villain's hiney before they even notice it.
He has a harem but it focuses more on the main heroine and her 7 split personalities, which in time each personality became individual heroines themselves as one by one they fell for the protag.
The story itself is pretty amazing, dealing with military tactics and with memorable characters to boot. Even amusing when the protagonist is forced to act out that he's weak and helpless in the eyes of his fellow classmates as undercover. But when its time for action, he takes control and has half the faculty staff secretly working for him.
What griped me in this title was the weird pacing of the story, but other than that it's good enough.
Next we have
AIKI
Story of a man who is a former legend on the martial arts world, whom was then had his body and techniques sealed away by his father. He was then caught up between an internal struggle within a school, in which they battle for supremacy.
Now this protagonist is a love him/hate him case. Even when his body is not as top condition as it used to be, he can still beat up opponents with ease; not to mention he was still a genius when it comes to martial arts, using his knowledge to teach his students. On the other hand, the MC is a complete douchebag and a troll and a massive sleazeball; but most of the time, he is just laid-back with a disinterested demeanor about him, like Saitama from OPM.
In the first chapters, the fight scenes were something of note. The anatomy and perspective were beautifully drawn each panel. But then as the chapter progress, I noticed that the fight scenes were slowly becoming rushed. Before you have blow-for-blow shots, now you just see them zipping through with motion lines and what not. I feel like the manga's former greatest strength became its greatest weakness, the fight scenes were not as interesting anymore.
