yes, the characters and the story might not be perfect but it is not horrible everyone rags on it for being a naruto rip off witch it might be. I've never seen naruto it's boring, I should try to read it...

anyway, people should just give it a chance most people seem to write a review after 2 chapters but honestly, it's not good in the first volume but that's only like an hour if your reading slow so just get through that then you will enjoy it if you like shonen. it's kinda ridiculous to judge something from the first volume. almost nothing is perfect from the start or perfect at the end
