Well for once i really liked the gloves that can change to anything needed for the situation, it gives for very interesting fights....
I just did not like how they called the power "wisdom"...

Lastly, at the end one of the soldiers gets the glove that was lost, that will be interesting...

Honestly had this been a one-shot, I would have been severely disapointed, but as it is, I see it as more of setting the real story up. So we will have to see if it gets better

To be honest, I was pretty surprised (considering one half of the two-man manga-ka is an American) that both the antagonist and the protagonist were extremely effeminate males. You don't usually find that in Western-styled media~. A whole page was devoted to emphasizing how pretty and effeminate Ultimo was.

I loved it! Just the art itself was breath taking. Superb character design. I'm a fan of Stan Lee's work, so I can't wait to see more.

I WILL COSPLAY ULTIMO!!

  (addition Feb 4)
Finally, I could read this Manga! though I did read just a First episode, I came to love ULTIMO really!
every character are attractive, Vice is so cool boy, and Ultimo is so cute boy
I'm sure this will be great work of Takei's

and,this is Stan Lee's comment on Jump SQ

"I have thoroughly enjoyed developing that Ultimo with Takei sensei and believe that this will be a very exciting and successful manga, to be read and loved by everyone.
This is just the beginning of what will be a long lasting series for Ultimo and a long lasting friendship between me and the fans, and I hope everyone enjoys Ultimo as much as I do." <STAN LEE>

Stan Lee only does the story, but yeah the drawing is indeed very very feminine, to the point where you can see Vice's nipples when he's in the box...[CANNOT UNSEE!]

But yeah, the gloves, it's kinda Takei's thing, he did the same with Jumbor but unfortunately that series got canceled at the point where it was supposed to get REAL interesting so it's kinda understandable he'd go into rebound here. Either way, it worked pretty well in Jumbor, I'm sure it'll work (better) here

Well, Both Vice and Ultimo are ROBOTS so i presume they don't have gender.....
but what do i know, the manga portraits him as a boy, so whatever.

Also on a side note: Ultimo and Vice reminds me way too much of Yoh and Hao of Shaman King.
I mean
Vice=Pure evil
Ultimo=Pure good(Vice's good counterpart)
Hao= Evil
Yoh=Good (Hao's GOOD counterpart)
also aren't they brothers?

don't you think....

Looks like a good, enjoyable, and promising shounen manga, as expected from Takei-sama.

The whole dolls plot is interesting, even though the good/evil thing is risky to go nowhere.

Robots don't have a gender, yeah. Anyway, Ultimo & Vice can either be seen as effeminate males or tomboyish females.

watching, waiting, commiserating

This was actually a pretty interesting first chapter, very promising start.

More topics from this board

» premise and drama kinda similar to the FATE series.
