Resumo
In the future, as people with ESP increase in numbers, so does the possible good and evil they can cause to society. The Japanese government establishes the Base of Backing ESP Laboratory (B.A.B.E.L.) a special esper organization tasked with dealing with situations that can't be resolved by ordinary means, including dealing with espers engaged in criminal activity. Kouichi Minamoto, a 20-year-old prodigy is assigned by B.A.B.E.L. to the task of supervising the most powerful espers in the country, a trio of gifted but mischievous 10-year-old girls known as "The Children."

Zettai Karen Children review
In the 21st century, people with psychic powers (espers), have become fairly common, and the BABEL is the branch of the Japanese government responsible for esper affairs. Japan's 3 most powerful espers are a trio of 10-year old girls, the Children. Hilarity ensues, along with a very awesome plot.
Amidst it all, trying to stop a 100% likely apocalyptic future, is a mentally-gifted but otherwise normal 20-year-old, Minamoto Kouichi. And seriously, if anyone deserves his perfect harem ending as a replacement for that bad future, it is this man. Literally his entire life is lived for the sake of helping his charges, the Children, grow up to be helpful, productive members of society. He endures all manner of hardship over the course of the manga, including but not limited to: 1) Getting taken for a pedophile because he was 2) being sexually harassed by a 10-year-old 3) when the same 10-year-old wasn't slamming him into a wall with her psychic powers (he actually works out several hours a week to build abs to withstand this) because she failed 4) throwing a full-blown temper-tantrum to get him to buy her a toy, all of which pales in comparison to the time when 5) he was possessed by a psychic fly and dunked headfirst into a toilet. He endures this, largely without complaint (even putting his career as a researcher on hold), and does an amazing parenting job, raising the Children the best he can. He doesn't fear them getting angry and will teach life lessons when needed, but he is very conscious of their emotions and avoids hurting them. He gives them a real chance to live like normal kids, which, ironically given their non-normal status, is something they very much needed. His methods come into sharp contrast with those of the Children's previous supervisor, Suma, who had shock collars on them and used them often. Not only that, the manga continues long enough that we do get to see the Children begin to understand what he went through and show their gratitude, in a few heartwarming scenes. And then there is his nemesis, Hyobu Kyouske, who does something similar – bringing persecuted espers, especially children, into his pro-esper extremist faction (PANDRA) and giving them a home. Hyobu is Minamoto's opposite, something of a Fagin archetype – sure, he's a terrorist, but he's protecting the children of PANDRA from a society that has severely persecuted them. Plus, there are far worse alternatives for a child esper, demonstrated in-universe by Black Phantom, a criminal syndicate that takes traumatized young espers and turns them into killing machines. Some BABEL-side characters recognize this and respect him because of it (to the extent that they pass up some legitimate chances to kill him and end the conflict), and some recognize the good he does but also believe that he does still represent a menace to society and needs to be stopped nonetheless, but their enforcement methods are limited because acting too harshly in dealing with esper criminals might persuade friendly espers (especially the Children) to defect. It's all a very tenuous and tangled moral balance. And it is delicious. That's the thing about ZKC; the emotional depth is there, but only if you want to look for it. You don't need to look deep into the morals driving each character in order to enjoy the story or the comedy, but it enhances the serious aspect of the story significantly. It is somewhat difficult to quantify the comedy of ZKC, but it will keep you laughing most of the time. There is certainly a lot of high quality material there, from the one time Minamoto got kidnapped and, ever the dutiful parent, gave his kidnapper a lifestyle makeover, to the other time where the guy with the animal possession ability gets forced into an extremely huggable baby seal body. The variety of character personalities plus the virtually limitless possibilities given by the various types of available superpowers plus an author not afraid to get creative makes for a nearly-flawless humorous repertiore, and this manga delivers. Brilliantly. This manga is very, very enjoyable, and I recommend it to anyone who isn't totally turned off by lolis, because that might admittedly be it's one sticking point. Even if hate lolis, let this be your one series in that direction. There is fairly little loli fanservice, and there's a lot of fun to be had in reading this manga. Seriously, go read this manga for yourself. It's just crazy awesome both in terms of how hilarious it is and how much sense the characters make. |
Zettai Karen Children review
Every now and then, you find one of these type of mangas , that not only surpasses your expectations , it continues to improve as as the story continues.
To be honest , when i first started this series , I wasn't expecting too much , the name it self (embarrassed to made the same mistake with change 123) didn't lend to anything too exciting and story seemed pretty generic as well. let me tell you, i have never been happier to been proved wrong. Not only is it a first class comedy , replete with an intelligent and entertaining story line , it also at the same time never fails to pack an emotional punch as well. Its one of those rare mangas , that can have you laughing and going awww the next. It does have more than its fair share or echiness and , loli humor , but as the same time , its a story about growing up , loyalty, acceptance and most Importantly love. What makes this manga so unique as well , is not only do you see the characters (girls growing) , you see them have to grapple with life.Along with the realization, that not everything in life is black and white , and sometimes hard , even painful decisions have to be made. This is a true gem. |
Zettai Karen Children review
I really don't recommend this manga. It was a major dissapointment while the basic idea could create a very good story. It was cheaply made, with typical things like violence and sexual themes put on an anime where the main characters are 10 year old girls, making a rather deformed combination.
Story Actually, I don't have any complains there. The story itself wasn't bad. Not very original, but satisfactory. It's about a future with espers where criminals have superpowers and the 10year olds stop them... not a bad way to approach a very common theme. Art Not bad, really... but I'm not really good at judging artwork... Character That was the real turnoff. The characters are extremely annoying, too violent and with a superiority complex. Although that was for the purpose of comedy, I think it wasn't made right. I personally ended up hating the main characters. Enjoyment This manga was intended to be primarily comedy. But I hardly gave a few smiles every now and then... plus, I really found disgusting the fact that it has a lot of ecchi content refering to 3 little girls. Overall I personally think it was a thing filled with bad taste and cheap standard themes. It's also a bit too childish to be really read by teenagers but it also contains ecchi stuff that makes it inappropriate for children under 13 to read it. In other words, it's also a bit indecisive about its audience. Perhaps I'm wrong and you would find it enjoyable. And I really think that if the writer gave it more attention, he could have made something very good. But in my opinion, this manga doesn't even count as average. |
Zettai Karen Children review
Let me tell you what made me want to read this (long) manga series. I'm really like when a character in a story grows. I also like things which have action, comedy and romance. In comes in Zettai Karen Children - a 20 year old in put in charge of three precocious 10 year old girls who have superpowers, all of them whom develop a crush on our hapless hero. But wait - the series also has three time skips in which the same girls are 13, 15 and 20 respectively. There has to be character development here, right? I was sold! And here is
what I have to say after I've read 17 volumes so far in the past two months:
Unless Takashi-san (the mangaka) decides to change the tone and pace of the manga drastically in the upcoming volumes, this series will get bracketed among those series which are a good way to pass time on a lazy weekend only if I have nothing better to read or watch. And the reason for this is that this series suffers from serious pacing issues. It doesn't flesh out the scenes or the plots to deliver the knockout punches it could if the author has decided to do so. There are moments of humor, action and slivers of taboo-romance/affection (between a 20 year old well minded hero and three 13 year old girls) but none of these elements takes center-stage. A single chapter or arc (which usually last from 4-6 chapters) will have moments of comedy, action and drama all rolled into one. Moments of gag are also thrown in for added measure - sometimes in the middle of an ostensibly serious scene to lighten the tone. The end result is a manga that never takes itself seriously enough to become a page-turner. By the 18th volume, the reader starts to expect that nothing serious will happen (like a character getting killed or injured, or actually falling in love) and the next arc will simply reset and begin somewhat 'anew'. Now, that is not in and of itself a bad thing. It makes the manga fun to read on a lazy Sunday (which is what I ended up doing today) and easy to put down after reading 4-5 chapters. However, it doesn't really impacted the reader how something like Full Metal Alchemist or 20th Century Boys do. It remains fun and puts you in a good mood while you're reading it and as soon as you put it down - there is zero recall. I have an analogy to offer for potential readers of this series - expect "How I Met Your Mother". Don't read this with the expectation to read/watch "Breaking Bad". |
ZETTAI KAREN CHILDREN
In the 21st century, the number of superpowers continues to increase. They are active in various fields such as military, diplomacy, and economy, and grasp the key to international competition. About 3% of all citizens have a super power level of 4 or higher. Among them, the highest-level superpowers in Japan belong to the Japan Superpower Support Research Bureau, commonly known as the "Super Girl Group" under BABEL. This team is composed of Akashi Kaoru, Nogami Aoi, Three girls from Sannomiya Zisui. In the near future, superpowers have become a natural existence, but there are certain frictions and contradictions between them and ordinary people. The young and talented scientist Koichi Kamoto monitors the three girls with the strongest superpower "7", namely Kaoru, Aoi and Ziho. However, although these three people are cute, they have some character problems... Their existence is quite dangerous. If they are properly educated, they will bring huge benefits to Japan's future, but if they are hostile to ordinary people, no one can stop them. Therefore, the duty of their on-site command director Minamoto Koichi is to guide them in the right direction and to avoid the "final war between ordinary people and superpowers" that will erupt as predicted. However, can Kaiben correct them and prevent the foreseeable war from breaking out in time? |
