Air Gear

Mangaka : Ōgure Ito aka Oh! Great

It is nice to read a manga that can change its mood from time to time. However, it is a tragedy when the whole damn thing looses it way. 
Air gear looses it, I mean it just completely looses it. And it is such a pity because it was a great story.

First a few disclaimers. This series is not exactly harem but close. The main charecter lives with his 4 adopted sisters. There is huge dose of sexualised female content, what is commonly known as 'fanservice'. As far as categorization goes I would place it in violent shounen with a heavy dose of pseudo science, mysticism and sometimes the just plane weird thrown in.

Premise:

Like all powerbased mangas there are a few things you need to simply accept as the gods honest truth. People made roller blades, OK

People mechanized their Rollerblades with advanced robotics. OK. 

People use these as weapons for battle and turf wars cause you know gunz are bad and stuff.... but have no issues using bombs and shit later..... ( in the loses it way part.)

And the struggle becomes so fucking global that America is involved complete with a manga version of a black man saying 'Yes we can as the President'

Lets throw in a body switch as well to keep things interesting.

See what I mean by loosing it's way. ( It was pretty funny though. )

The plot :

It's like the fucking hydra. Everytime you think you know what is gonna happen it changes.

At first it's a slice of life of gangs with Rollerblades (You think that is ridiculous? What about dance battles, step up etc)

Then it becomes a big fuck all tournament.

Then it's about genetic engineering and shit

And then world domination?!!?

Friendship and trust figures heavily in the story line with a lot of unforeseeable turncoats along the way. 

The esential message is freedom in the widest sense possible. To be who you want to be and simply fly unfettered even by gravity.

Characters:

One of the good things about the manga is the presence of a great cast. Strong personalities with make the story that much more entertaining.

My favourite has to be the "Fangking" Akito/Agito a weak bodied runt with a split personality disorder, easily the most entertaining of them all!!!

The lead, Ikki Minami is the standard gutsy and smooth- strong as fuck main man.the one who leads them all. As a commander he is a tactical genius. A very interesting character with nearly indomitable will.

I read this manga a long time ago. Normally I would read it again just to make sure that I got most of it right but I didn't bother with this one because it gave me a headache just thinking about it.

Let's just say there are lots of peaks and fall to this manga. 

All in all you may end up liking most of it, but in the end you will probably go 'da fuck did I just read!'
