Once again writing a review for a manga that has none. Makes me happy :)

Ultra Red is a martial arts manga about Sen who practices Haikaiken a martial art that concentrates on dislocating joints.

The story starts off in typical shouen fashion with a young boy who wants to be the strongest and defeat his dad. While the story is virtually cookie cutter of so many other manga this really didn't bother me. When I started reading I didn't think it would be a great literature masterpiece or anything. The story was simple enough that I didn't have to think much but it was carried out well. One thing I was a little disappointed with was that the story finished its first but then there was no second arc made me a little sad.

The art in this manga is actually quite good. The character designs are well done and I can usually tell whos who when they are fighting. Also the fight scenes are well drawn. I really don't like when there are so many effects around the people that it makes it difficult to actually tell what is going on. This manga does a nice job of making the fights interesting while still letting u feel that u can tell what is going on.

Character development is kept to a minimum. You do get a decent amount of info on the characters throughout but this manga doesn't waste it's time telling you every single characters life story. Like I care anyway. So the character development was to my liking but if your the type that likes backstories you'll be disappointed. Other than that the characters themselves are loveable enjoyable characters and with Sen's personality, all the enemies become likeable characters as well.

Overall this is an enjoyable manga. A quick read for someone who's just looking for something simple. If you like martial arts the techniques used in this manga are unique and while they do take a little bit of an artistic license with some of the fight scenes for the most part they are believable.
