Yu-gi-oh! Zexal Chapters 1-35 Story by Kazuki Takahashi and
Shin Yoshida, Art by Naoto Miyoshi Review
Yuma used to be a bad duelist. That
is until the day a mysterious alien who only he can see is unlocked during a
duel. Will Yuma be able to find all the number cards and help the alien cure
his amnesia?
Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump,
Zexal is a mess in terms of both plot and art. The panel layout is confusing at
times and the plot becomes increasingly nonsensical. To be fair it is a quick
read, though that may be the series one positive point. The artwork Is nothing
to write home about either occasionally feeling awkward.
The characters lack any real depth
thus far and are standard clichés for Japanese comics geared towards boys. The franchise has always basically a marketing
vehicle and a shameless one at that that being said previous incarnations were
at the very least decent. Although as with this one, they suffered from
dragging the story out with needlessly complicated battles designed for no
other excuse than to showcase the different cards for the readers to buy. In
conclusion, Zexal fails in almost every way.
Rating: 3/10
