It's the year 300x, and the cruel (and bald) emperor of the Maruhage kingdom has ordered a hunt on all who possess hair. Only one man can stop him: Bo-BoBo, the yellow, afroed master of the Fist of the Nose Hair technique. In this volume, Bo-BoBo and his sidekicks Poppa Rocks, Jelly Jiggler, Beauty and Gasser take on Halekulani, the final remaining member of the Bald Emperor's "Big Four," a crack team of ultra-powerful warriors determined to bring an end to the reign of hair in the Maruhage kingdom.

I would love to see viz media release this in the original order. this volume contains content from volumes 9 and 10 of the original series. But since this is a gag manga, it really doesn't matter and you still have fun. But, other than that, my order arrived pretty fine, it's in great condition considering it was printed 16 years and some months ago. I bught this item knowing this so I am satisfied with my order.

One of the funniest, most surreal manga take up space in our mortal realm. Lost my old copy so I just had to replace it. The anime, though enjoyable, does not compare. This volume of Bobobo NEEDS to be experienced by all.

Buy it. Force your friends to read it with you. Make funny voices for all the characters. They will thank you as mine did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incoherent mess
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2006
Bobobo-bo bo-bobo is supposed to be funny. And it was....for the first chapter. After that, it became extremely tiresome.

The story is so nonsensical that there is no point in trying to explain it unless I want to sound like a raving lunatic. Suffice to say, it's about Bobo-bo and his "sidekicks" trying to defeat an evil emperor who wants to make everyone in the world bald. Why? He just is.

Bobobo-bo bo-bobo is an all-in-one parody of just about every fighting manga ever made; however, the story and action make NO SENSE. Most of the time I couldn't even tell what was going on. There are some very funny moments that come from all this insanity, but most of the time, it's just incomprehensible. Also, one of the many characters has a pile of human waste for a head? That's just sick. If you have to sink to poo-poo humor, you're sad.

Just a note for those of you who are squeamish: there is A LOT of blood. A LOT. I have no objection to blood when it moves the story forward, but this is pointless blood shed on just about EVERY PAGE.

Also, the majority of the characters do virtually nothing. It seems like they are there to be kidnapped, tied up, threatened, or to look shocked when something especially strange happens. And especially strange things happen a lot. That means, people look shocked a lot. After a while, you start thinking, "Why are they looking shocked? That was way less strange than what happened last time."

So, I didn't like it. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned because I like my manga to make sense. So, if you're looking for a coherent story, look somewhere else, because you're not going to find it here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly Bizzare
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2005
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 Delivers What It Promises
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2007
This book is hillarious. I've watched the show in both Japanese and English, and this manga is as funny, and at some points more funny, than the show. I would strongly suggest getting this if you are familliar with the series, or are in the mood for an abundance of completely insane humor. If not, perhaps buy the DVD first, it is easier to appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A standalone Bobobo book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2019
Verified Purchase
Just to avoid confusion, Bobobo was a 20+ volume manga in Japan and VIZ Media released only 6 books of that. This one is a standalone (although it is originally in the middle of the series), on top of this, there are 5 more volumes under Shonen Jump Advanced imprint numbered 1 to 5 and those are actually the continuation of this book.
Anyways, a funny gag manga from the 2000s, recommended to anyone who fancy Japanese humour.
