Over all a very good game. Stays true to Jump and is very good for anyone who is big fan. At first it is hard to get through the Japanese but its worth it!
Enjoyable for any shonen lover

When I first bought this game, I was a little cautious. The price was a little steep, but when I bought it, I had a lot of fun with it. The manga frame-based system works very well. If you understand Japanese fluently, you won't have a problem with this. However, theres no option for English, so you have to rely on guides(I used GameFAQs, which was very helpful).
Theres a wide variety of characters from a wide variety or manga (from Ichigo 100% to DBZ, theres a lot represented here). While the game is advertised as having over 300 characters, only 20 or so are playable, the rest are "support" and some are just there as to boost other characters. Theres a system involving gems used to "evolve" you characters, making them stronger (all these Evolutions relate to the mangas they're in, like Goku evolving into Super Saiyen 50 or w/e). Some of these characters suck to play as, and some are ridiculously overpowered, but that comes with every game.
The playable characters are organized by 3 attributes, Strength, Intelligence, and Laughter. These play out and have their weaknesses Rock Paper Scissors style (Str. beats Int. beats Laugh. beats Str). While this evens out the game a little, a lot of times its obvious who is going to win even though the game hasn't started yet, which can ruin it a bit.
Also, this game has an online function, but I think it requires you to be in japan, because I haven't gotten it to work yet. From what I understand, playing online reaps separate rewards, so if you can get online, you can get something out of it.
Overall, the system is a little complex when you first start, but once you get used to it, it becomes easy to understand and apply, and even though I didn't get the online feature to work, It could be different for others who bought this.
