3.5

It’s a quite entertaining Deadpool story in by these Manga creators. I give it only 3.5 because aside from drawing style it reads just the same as any Deadpool starring book from Marvel with its North American sensibilities. That’s kind of disappointing, at least the book makes fun of itself for doing that

There is a bit of inappropriate sexualizing from a male fan of a young teen female pop idol character in the latter half of the book. It’s a lot of verbalizing that he’s inappropriate but they can’t go that far because of the recommended age group for the book. This is nothing new If you’ve read a Deadpool comic before or seen either of the movies. They frequently make jokes about how something is so close to an innuendo. It’s all very standard Deadpool.
