Volume 1: Chapter 1 "The Cross Of Friendship"
So right off the bat I really dig the Manga artwork. It's got a bit of edge to it with a very moody washed out color palette that I think compliments the tone they're trying to go for in this first chapter. And getting down to it I think it's a solid debut establishing our two protagonists Takeshi and Kentaro contrasting, in terms of reputation, skills, and ethics. But also showing that they're both willing to jump in front of danger to save the innocent.
Learning about each of the two boys' families, in particular Kentaro's father being a police officer and recently deceased wife. I’ll admit the chapter drops you into the story very suddenly both in Takeshi and Kentaro's initial confrontation as well as the exposition of Kopu and Doruge and the eternal battle of good and evil. Not helped by the fact we don’t see either of them physically. And now the superhero aspect of the first monster is a skeleton dog which is as basic as it sounds.
I do confess I am incredibly curious how the live action and anime handles the designs of the monsters. And how could we forget Barom-One himself? The original design reminds me of DC’s Amazo anybody got that vibe of course since this started out as a manga it looks more like a traditional superhero versus what Toku hero usually look like.
