Bobobo-bo bo-bobo is supposed to be funny. And it was....for the first chapter. After that, it became extremely tiresome.
The story is so nonsensical that there is no point in trying to explain it unless I want to sound like a raving lunatic. Suffice to say, it's about Bobo-bo and his "sidekicks" trying to defeat an evil emperor who wants to make everyone in the world bald. Why? He just is.
Bobobo-bo bo-bobo is an all-in-one parody of just about every fighting manga ever made; however, the story and action make NO SENSE. Most of the time I couldn't even tell what was going on. There are some very funny moments that come from all this insanity, but most of the time, it's just incomprehensible. Also, one of the many characters has a pile of human waste for a head? That's just sick. If you have to sink to poo-poo humor, you're sad.
Just a note for those of you who are squeamish: there is A LOT of blood. A LOT. I have no objection to blood when it moves the story forward, but this is pointless blood shed on just about EVERY PAGE.
Also, the majority of the characters do virtually nothing. It seems like they are there to be kidnapped, tied up, threatened, or to look shocked when something especially strange happens. And especially strange things happen a lot. That means, people look shocked a lot. After a while, you start thinking, "Why are they looking shocked? That was way less strange than what happened last time."
So, I didn't like it. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned because I like my manga to make sense. So, if you're looking for a coherent story, look somewhere else, because you're not going to find it here.

Bo-bobo is one of the funniest manga charecters that I've ever seen! This whole story is absolutely off-the-wall, but still incredibly satisfying to read!
The whole story is about Bo-bobo, a master of Fist of the Nose hair, (which is basically the art of using nose hair as a weapon) and his side-kick snacks trying to save the world from the bald empire, a ruthless band of tyrants trying rid the world of hair and shave everyone's heads!
Bo-bobo, and his friends, Poppa Rocks, (a mean piece of candy with an electric attitude) Jelly Jiggler, (a large blue man made of gelatin) Dengaku Man, (a cute little guy who's made of tofu) And Softon, (a master fighter with a head made of chocolate ice cream) must fight to bring down the bald empire, and free the world from it's grasp! But will Bo-bobo's powers of confusion, nonsence, and nose hairs be enough to bring down his toughest opponents?!
I highly recommend buying Bobobo-bo bo-bobo, it's incredibly funny and a joy to read! I've read it 3 times already and it never ceases to make me laugh out loud!
If you need further convincing, watch an episode of the TV show on cartoon network, (on Saturday nights at 10:00) and if you like the show then I guarantee you'll like the manga.
