DON'T watch the anime, it is an utter disaster however the manga is good. It offers a descent story with a final goal and a reasonable one that is he hates the world and wants to come back. Some of the characters look like they were pushed in just to be in there and don't have a real reason for being part of the show like the perverted dragon born or the vampire that could easily be replaced by MC having an aptitude for magic since he is already "The world strongest" and his body went through some kind of destruction and reconstruction process after eating monsters. Also the author decided to forget about MC being physically OP too so thats kinda strange he decides to give that bunny all the action when its mentioned that even with power up magic he still is almost twice as strong. He is not the pussy bitchy MC we all used to. The art in the manga is very sharp and very violent. Befitting the story. There are some really nicely detailed parts Characters aren't very developed...  His class mates and teacher dont offer any story to them exept their relation to the MC which is being his classmates/sensei. The only thing mentioned about them and covered are their roles which aren't very important since the MC is basically one punch man just with a gun and a harem... His comrades are the cliched harem... no one gives a shit about him even if they die. The author could make it a solo adventure and it will be the same impact if not a better one.

kinda getting annoyed with the mc that is op, kills everyone without blinking an eye, has a nonsensical harem and despite all that helps every. single. one. of the people he meets!  Yes, I like reading about a hero that becomes op for "no reason" and wants to survive or get his revenge. But why all these mcs help each and every selfish and hypocritical human they meet?! Now that I've finished complaining, you know that it's the kind of story you'll like (except if you're as sadistic as me lol). The mc becomes op and ruthless but the one he likes, aka Yue, helps him open his feelings while keeping their aim to become the strongest.Like I said, there is a harem so if you're into that, it'll make the manga more fun to read The chapters take ages to come out and even after stalling for 1 or 2years, I don't see a lot coming.. But if you want to start, you at least have these well-drawn chapters ready!

Another crap story where the MC turns his personality like a pancake after being betrayed and almost dying, let alone from coward to courageous, you don't turn from a good person to a guy that just kills any human because he gets in your way as if it was magic.Other than that, we get yet another story about a guy (or a class in this case) whose life is ruined by the guys who summoned him and the reaction of the summoned is "even if I have no real reason to believe anything this guys are telling me, let's help them and risk dying since this people that destroyed our lives need help!", I'm tired of that lame setting.Last, the MC getting stronger and getting more powers/skills is ok, but as soon as he started making cars, guns, drones and so on it became crap for me, yeah the author bluffed his way on how he made a gun without gunpowder by using rocks, after that he didn't even bother because he knew that there was no way to bluff the MC being able to create a car. Let alone a student doesn't know how to build one, he wouldn't have what's needed and he doesn't even explain what the fuel for it is. Really lame magical solution that I also find a pathetic example of the author's lack of imagination and storytelling abilities. This just a non-explanation type of tool that allows him to just pop whatever he wants out of nowhere without having to give any kind of plausible justification for it, and man he sure abuses of this trick.Overall, a very childish manga with a glaring lack of storytelling and world building.
