This is the story of a poverty stricken highschooler with a hospitalized mother, being bullied at school. He works to try and scrape together money to pay for hospital bills and other expenses. One day he snaps and fights back against one of his bullies. The other person is weak, so it works out and the fight somehow ends up online and going viral. He starts a channel called 'how to fight' and slowly starts making enough money for him to quit his other jobs and pay his bills. Along the way he stands up to bullies, deals with his videos being falsely claimed for copyright and other issues. The art is super good, and consistent, although you can clearly tell that there's a few panels being reused, though even then there are some changes. There's fanservice, but it skews more towards objectifying the guys than the girls. But there is both. The story is very compelling and the MC is very likable, although it does require one to suspend their belief about how certain things work. There's definitely plot holes, but I have found the story and most especially the characters compelling enough to not grow to dislike the series. Sometimes it feels a bit too queerbaity, I'm not actually part of the LGBTQ+ community so I can't say for sure if it actually is or isn't, but there's definitely some chemistry that's there, sometimes used for comic effect, a lot of the time it's just there. MC has plenty of girls crushing on him too, but not enough or in a way where I'd be calling it harem. The comedy is fucking great, it's so good and I love it. There's quite a lot of blood and violence and drama, but the comedy is sprinkled in there in such a way as to not get in the way. Some real WTF moments, that somehow make you laugh again as you think about them, but doesn't make you unable to take the drama and sad bits seriously. Another thing I'd like to gush about is the pacing. That is to say, there's plenty of action, but it isn't ALL action. You get character development, plot progression that doesn't necessarily involve MC fighting, and time to let the story breath after some intense scenes. Now, some of the characters are terrible people and then sort of become supporting cast that you then are supposed to like. Addressing some of the horrible shit they've done isn't done in the best way, and I can see how for some that would be a deal breaker. It wasn't for me, the story is already so ridiculous at times, it's easy to accept, but I can understand someone having trouble with that aspect. The translation is inconsistent. Chapters are uploaded from different groups and they range from competent to frustrating. I ended up going to death toll scanlations site and reading it from there because they have done almost all the chapters except like the first 3, and are ok. They have small grammar mistakes and typos here and there, but nothing that makes you unable to immediately understand what's being said or referred to. It's consistent and I will take small mistakes over translator app word salad any day. All in all I highly recommend giving this a read. Just be prepared for maybe having to change to different site to read.
