Interesting..

Sakamoto somehow manages to narrowly avoid some of the biggest cliches in contemporary shounen-manga.

Not too heavy on flashbacks, and when they do appear- they usually appear short, and jump straight to the point.
Dialogue between characters seem less pretentious, and I actually find myself chuckling or grinning at some of the gags.

The art style itself is seemingly a mixture of fairy tail, rave master & others, as have been stated before.
I was personally never really a fan of the sharp jutted anatomy and flat faces seen in fairy tail and rave master,
but Buster Keel seems to have evolved both aspects.
I still notice a few "off" drawings, but it's generally improved a lot.

The stereotypical personalities have been toned down somewhat,
and I quite like the designs of both Keel and Blue.

Hopefully we'll see less of the mass produced products, and more of this in the future.

I like it

First, FAIRY TAIL and Rave Master have one of the best art i have EVER seen in my life, i don't know where is this flat face u r talking about because i can see well done faces with the facial things really well done. Apart from this (that i don't know why, really made me wanna punch someone) i agree with u i like this manga, is fun to read and even though it is similar to fairy tail, it is not the same an has different things, like the dialogues, interactions between characters, way of drawing (i don't really like it though) and the way they express themselves, also the way the plot is written and the way it develops is different from fairy tail.

i wouldn't call this manga one of my favorite, but it is certainly a good and funny read

btw: fairy tail FTW!
