l has become one of most popular manga series of its time in both Japan and North America. It enjoys a high readership, with over 150 million volumes of the series sold by 2007.

Reviewers praise the art, characterization, and humor of the manga story. The anime series have had more mixed reviews, with the first also praised for its characterizations, but the second was criticized for its long, repetitive fights, and the third series considered repetitive with childish fights and "goofy" character designs.when it was showed in Malaysia, my younger brother and sister are the fan of this anime. every weekend, they will sit in front of the television and wait for the program. during this time, nobody can disturb them or change the channel. not even my mum. sometimes, our neighbour and our
cousins will join them too. I'm not pretty sure what are so interesting about this anime, but for them this is the best cartoon ever. i also watch a few episode of the anime to get the idea what is the story is all about. for me it just an anime that brings the same kind of plot: a fight between two sides. i can't even tell which one is the bad and which one is the good side. to me, they are all the same. from my point of view, this story only teach kids about violence.
