I read the first volume yesterday. Honestly, I was rather underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, per se, but it was very formulaic. Not much point in putting those two together. Just grab a random shonen mangaka and he can do that much. I didn't really see the western influence. Except maybe in the doll maker - is he a Stan Lee self-insert? Not that I know what form western influence would take, but as I said, it was the usual shonen manga fare. Idiot hero who acquires a very devoted super powered servant. They then go on to fight other similar pairs. Oh, and there are two timelines, because of reincarnation - you don't find that in every series, but it's not exactly unheard of either. One whacky misunderstanding - the ratio's kinda low. Is it going to rise? One rich, down to earth, smart sidekick. Like Manta, but slightly taller.
