ROBOT×LASERBEAM

A manga about an high schooler named Robo who has extreme precision and control in swinging golf clubs.

This sports series was Tadatoshi Fujimaki‘s follow up to the popular Kuroko’s Basketball. Manga artists who have to launch a new series after finishing a successful series have added pressure to create a new work that will be judged against their previous work. Unfortunately Fujimaki was unable to find that continued success with ROBOT×LASERBEAM and it was eventually canceled after 1 year. Personally I liked this series on golf but I’ll say it again, “Sports don’t do well in Weekly Shonen Jump.”

Available in English from VIZ.
