I think this is a pretty good design

Pardon my skepticism but there seems to be a divide here.

I always liked how Hata reveals this bizarre and sad as fuck kind of shit without taking it seriously

Oh it's gonna be one of those kinds of manga, is it? I've seen where this kind of tone leads. It's never a happy place.

h-hayai

...the amount of speed that would need to make that happen is Flash levels of stupid.

Damn I'm actually starting to like this thing. The design is Japanese as fuck but it works cause they kinda went all the way with it, and it even looks vaguely demonic.

At first when I saw the Katana I was like "eeh... this doesn't seem very original" but honestly re-reading it I liked it a lot and the design is cool as fuck(to me at least), and after checking how she dresses and the rabbit mechs I realized it's probably some sort of Kaguya inspired thing.

And honestly my reaction to the Katana was because normally it goes for Japan wank when they do it.

But yeah when I thought about who is writing it I realized that won't really be a thing, since the story won't be completely serious anyways. And like I said I like the design

And that was the end of chapter 1.

This is vol 1 cover by the way, didn't put it in the OP because I didn't want to spoil the robotto

neat
the robot feels sorta Five Star Stories

It's weird that the characters are so kiddy looking, yet the mecha are so detailed. Sorta reminds me of Shaman King in that way.

Thanks for storytiming this!

I didn't know Hata was working on a new manga. Is it because Hayate no Gotoku is ending?

Anyways, thanks for posting it I'll definitely read it

And OF COURSE his mom is Wall-E

Fuck you OP, don't do this to me.

I couldn't find raws past chapter 7 so I assume it's the latest one.

Hayate no Gotoku! was also in hiatus preparing for the final arc during that time, so I assume this one will have an irregular schedule until that ends
