This is the first in the series.

Mr Mega Man, Rock, has grown up and is a dentist. With all the boss robots also moving on and having their own jobs, there is still someone trying to create some mischief.

This was an interesting read and I enjoyed it a lot more than Little Mega Man. All the characters were interesting and it was nice to the different Crisis that the boss robots were going through.

Thank you for the arc as always!

This story takes us through what would happen if the world did not need Mega Man and what role all of these robots would play in normal larger society. Now although this is a nice what if slice of life story, I found myself a little bored since the premise felt mostly of Mega Man gets to pass as a normal person, but he is still a robot internally and isn't sure how everyone else can acclimate to life being "normal". I think if the reader was someone more invested in the Mega Man franchise they would find more worth or interest in this book, but aside from the nice shoujo esque art style there wasn't really anything else to keep me involved in the work.

Overall this is a nice safe manga, but nothing that felt new or groundbreaking.

I really enjoyed this book. And loved the aspect of the future of the characters when I'm so used to them being so young. So I loved the change of pace. I will definitely look into reading any future books.

Mr. Mega Man asks the question, "what would happen if Mega Man grew up?" Rock (Mega Man's alter ego) is living a quiet life as a dentist, who along with his sister Roll, appears human. Since Rock was built to be constantly upgraded, he has kept up with modern developments in robotics, able to keep pace with the world as it has moved on from his days fighting industrial robots reprogrammed to fight by Dr. Wily.

The other robots he used to fight have not faired as well, no longer even able to perform many of the jobs they were designed for, they've had to find other work. Cutman, for instance, who was designed as a logging robot, has been stereotyped into working as a barber. This is a mostly cozy book, for adult fans nostalgic for Mega Ma,n who don't mind him growing up alongside them.

Mega Man (Rockman in the original Japanese) is a bit of a video game analogue for Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy, so there's some easy ground to tread here. It's a very light take on an "adult" Mega Man, which puts it in pretty heavy contrast to something like Naoki Urasawa's Pluto, that reimagines an Astro Boy plot as a dark murder mystery. It may have some limited appeal, though, as the franchise' popularity has waned over time.

Mr. Mega Man presents a future where Rock, Roll, & the master robots have all "grown up", stopped fighting, integrated into society, and are now facing very human issues - whether it be existential crisis about growing old and obsolete, feeling unfulfilled with work, or civil rights issues. It's all looked at through a lens of satire, very lighthearted at the start, but growing just a bit more serious as things go on, with a very "slice of life" art style and tone.

To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure what to make of this going in, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't like it... but I was very wrong. It's quite endearing, it touches on some pretty important, and serious, issues in a very accessible way, and it's heartwarming in a way to see favorite character from my childhood, now grown themselves, confronting these issues themselves.

This isn't the Mega Man I wanted, but it's the Mega Man i needed.

This was a fun read. It's hard to go from a side scrolling platformer to a manga but somehow it works well here. I've never played the games myself, but have watched my husband play through just about every one of them multiple times so I have the basics down.

Drs. Light and Wily have retired from making robots and society is relatively peaceful, apart from humans and robots trying to coexist. MegaMan, or Rock, has retired from crime fighting to be a dentist. We follow him as he catches up with some of his old nemesises to see how they're integrating. They meet up in a bar for robots and drink "adult E-tanks" which made me chuckle. We get appearances from about a dozen former enemies throughout this volume and see Megaman return by the end.

Overall this volume was a fun introduction to a series that transforms a classic for a new medium.

This is exactly my jam. I love that this story takes place after the conflicts fully stop. The reader gets to see Rock and Roll as adults and the various Robot Masters more in line with their original purpose as tools of aide, not destruction. The humor is pretty good, too! A lot of this volume revolves around Rock checking in on the various robot masters and seeing how they're doing now. My favorite examples are Elec-Man and Bomb-man doing not quite what they were built for, but close enough! This is a fun look at a "what if?" scenario, and fans of the game series should check this out, especially if they love the characters.

As a long time fan of the Mega Man franchise, Mr. Mega Man as a story intrigued me. Set some years after the Classic series, this has an adult Mega Man and Roll navigating their world with new challenges, both mundane and more fantastical. In total, there's 18 chapters in this first volume, each about 10 pages a piece. Most of the chapters have Mega Man and Roll run into the Robot Masters as they have adjusted to this new world where humans and robots have integrated. The interactions and jobs were rather intriguing and made me smile at least once a chapter. Big fans of the Classic series will enjoy the many shoutouts, from the obvious to the more obscure. Along with the standalone situations, there is an ongoing story arc about increasing violence due to the prejudice between humans and robots, which is intriguing and I look forward to where it's going. The few action scenes were also well drawn, and very involved, but not too intense for younger readers. It's mostly fun and lighthearted, but there is sone serious parts to the story as well, mostly in the ongoing story arc. The art style of Yukito is clean and the robot masters look very much like their game counterparts. Mega Man himself had his trademark blue hair and a fitting adult design. His personality felt like it was a precursor to X's personality in his series, thinking about the best way to maintain peace in a world where robots and humans are trying to integrate, yet still in conflict. Roll was also fitting as an adult. From some lines, it felt like there were hint drops to the X series far in the future. Part of me hopes that there's a link to the X series eventually down the line. Highly recommended for fans of the Mega Man franchise wanting to see a new story in the world and characters. Good for readers 12+.

I think this was a good start to mega-man's future, it's worth the read if you loved him as a kid! The nostalgia really hits with this one
