Daily reminder that this manga got shafted for Hungry Marie. Ultimate RIP.

@NinjaGoemon what?? this is way more interesting than that almost copy of Beelzebub。

 

[Nami]

@NOUN You do realize you both share that sentiment, yeah?

 

[ErisofOceans]

Dang, I wish this one had been serialized!

The author actually commented on it in the last volume of Hungry Marie (where the one-shot was included as a bonus).

"This is the one-shot that preceded the creation of Hungry Marie. Back then, I wanted to move away from Beelzebub for a more fantasy-oriented universe. I remember deliberately choosing a hero who resembled a pre-transformation Oga. Reviews on it were pretty good, so I tried to turn it into a series, but despite several attempts submitted to my editor I failed to make an interesting story out of it. In the end, for a change of mind I decided to submit him a storyboard of a story more similar to Beelzebub, and this time I remember getting the okay immediately! I probably won't get to use this idea anymore, so please read it to pay it a funeral hommage."

What a shame. This was a fun read.
Thanks for finding that comment.

I remember reading this a while ago, I still wish this was a full on series.

it's weird that i remember reading many chapters of this
that i just scrolled through and though the first chapter was kinda cool the rest was pretty much muh
?????

From what @Lyendith said, sounds like editors yet again suppressed a good artistic vision in favor of more of the same "safe" shit. Considering Hungry Marie got cancelled after 30 chapters we can see how well that turned out.

Ranma clone? yes or no?

 

[NullApostle]

I wanted THIS to get serialized. Instead we got Hungry Marie... what a letdown.

 

[MushuTrueG]

If this was made into a series it would have been hella good and a really enjoyable read....

 

[Punchline88]

Dang, it's a shame this got cut in favor of something far less interesting.
