5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly Bizzare, November 15, 2005

By	James D. Spackman (Houston, Tx) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This manga surpasses FLCL for most bizzare manga I have ever read. Just about every page has some nonsensical completley random panel and that's what makes this so great. I'm ussualy not one for stupid random humor but this is a special case. First their is the premise of an evil empire intent on making the world bald, then there is bobobo himself whom words can't do justice. And the hilarious completley random parodies of manga conventions are what make this book a must. This is a difficult book to review considering it's the kind of thing you just have to see but I hope that the descriptions of the humor and style were enough. Warnings: If you like serious manga or don't appreciate bizzare humor stay away from this. Also this one volume series printed by viz starts and ends in the middle of the series for some reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest manga that I've ever read!, February 14, 2006

By	Shadow mage (Holodrum) - See all my reviews

This is quite honestly the funniest manga that I've ever read!
The TV show on cartoon network appears to be the prequel to this manga so you might want to watch a few episodes to bring you up to speed. Although it's not entirely nessessary for you to watch the show first, (the whole story is crazy anyway.)
Anyway, not everyone will love the nonsenceical comedy of Bo-bobo, but personally I love it! It parodies several other anime & manga stories/charecters! It's especially funny to watch Bo-bobo standing on the roof a train behind a cardboard cut out of the cast of Dragon ball z, or watching Yugi pop out of Bo-bobo's afro and summon slifer the sky dragon! But that's not all! It also parodies several different video games, the Power Rangers, and even Despret Housewives! It's all laugh out loud funny!
This manga is also very thick, and provides hours of laughs!

If you enjoy funny manga or just like to watch parodies of your favorite manga and anime, you'll love Bobobo-bo bo-bobo!

I dont know when they plan on releasing the next volume, but I sure hope that it's soon!

FYI: Regardless of what other people may say, I can assure you that Softon's head is not made of waste. That was only a joke that was printed in the manga because of the way his head is shaped. I'm surprised that so many of the other readers took the joke so seriously... Anyway, Softon's head is really made of ice cream.

I also recommend: Sgt. Frog, book 1.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good graphic novel and anime, yet..., March 15, 2007

A Kid's Review

The thing about this graphic novel is that it starts in the middle of the first season of the anime. It was still good, since it somehow started right where I left off, and wasn't censored as the anime was. If you want to know what's going on (if that's possible), then I suggest you watch season one. It explains how the characters meet up, a bit more on the storyline (if it can be called that), and much more that volume one doesn't cover.
