WaqWaq all 4 volumes
So I was looking at old stuff VIZ had published and found WaqWaq, it looked cool and it was 4 volumes so I bought them.
I was pretty pleased with the story. Being only 4 volumes I thought it was one of those ill-fated JUMP series that got cancelled and had a badly rushed/incomplte ending,BUT that wasn't the case. While yes the story is a little on the speedy side it finish in a good and conclusive manner.
The story is about what happen after humans(red-blooded people) and intelligent human-looking robots(black-blooded people) fought and the human side lost. These black-blooded people are now living in a post-apocalyptic world were simple robots are still obeying the old humans orders to exterminate the black-blooded people. Queue-in modern day girl teleported to that era and 7 super strong *robots(called Gojin-zou) fusing with the black-blooded people to win the right for a wish from her.
The character design for both robot and humans are pretty cool and I loved(mostly) all of the fusions with the Gojin-zou. Some of them reminded me of ZoE. Cool fights all-around, good and badly placed comedic moments, a good pace and great ending. Shio the man protagonist was my main reason of picking this up since his design was really cool and I was not disappointed. That final god form of his looked hot. Oh yes that final battle does have a huge random power-up moment for the MC so beware if you don't like these.
Overall I enjoyed it! I think I might pick-up his other work called Hoshin Engi.
