Build King (New Manga by Toriko author)

Minecraft and Dr Stone had a love child

I am very excited for this. Hopefully it goes all out like Toriko
-
The premise isn't too bad. But having the shorty with no skill and the other with actually very good skills dynamic makes me think of Black Clover.

Nah, it's a rehash of Toriko and Komatsu. This time, the one who looks like Komatsu has the muscles, while the one who looks like Toriko has the skills.
-
yes it is not very original. the same crazy universe. All the shonen boxes checked.
But at least i could read the whole chapter -
Well at least he mixes classic shonen tropes with unusual premises. Makes it more interesting than your typical stuff like ninjas, samurais and magic.

Not sure how I feel about this series. On one hand, all those build kings seem like awesome locations and there's huge worldbuilding (heh) potential. On the other hand, I never read Toriko but remember people complaining that 2 whole continents went unexplored and that was a big deal. Also no guarantee that any of the cool stuff that appeared in this chapter has any relevance at all.
Compared to the one shot, the originally overpowered MC got separated into a builder that can't fight and a fighter that can't build. As said before, it reminds me of black clover, just that the MC in this case feels pointless and out of place.
The artstyle is good but the character design is not my style, with the face nail being my biggest issue.

It's hilarious how much this is just remixed Toriko, but I don't care. Toriko was great and I enjoyed that first chapter. I don't really get the Black Clover comparison since Asta has been a great fighter from the start, just like Yuno, he just is magicless. This is just like Toriko with one guy doing the thing that the whole world seems to be "built" around (carpentry) while the other one is a fighter/protector. Skilled nonfighter+fighter.

I was expecting Minecraft/Dr.Stone but I got Toriko v2 but with the cooking and food replaced with buildings.
-
Decent chapter. I liked the beginning of Toriko (it went downhill for me after the century soup arc) so I'll be looking forward to that one.
-
I started skipping pages halfway through and eventually dropped it. I don't know if it's the author's peculiar drawing style or that the setting is too much of a typical shonen, or the universe that is over-the-top but not my kind of treat, or the somewhat naive narration… There was something in Toriko that stopped me from ever being invested in the story, and it looks like this one won't be for me either.
-
I actually really really liked Toriko, up to a certain point. But the whole thing basically went downhill when they went to the New World equivalent over there. There was maybe one or two interesting arcs after that, but then it just went "power level over 9000" and made me lose all interest.
-
Toriko is great up until the midpoint and then just drops at 3000km an hour and ends. I don't know why that happened but as long as Build King is more like early Toriko and not late Toriko it will be good. Just keep Toei away from it.
-
Half way through I was cracking up. This is a funny manga. It also sort of wore out the novelty of being such a basic cut-and-paste shonen. By the end the ridiculousness of how straight faced it is about the tropes was purely absurd. I'm going to keep reading, though.
-
Toriko and a bunch of others appeared in the background this chapter
-
So far so good, has an interesting premise and the author is good at world-building, I'll give him that. Let's just see if he can (pardon the pun) build on it and character progression going forward.
