El soldado D, harto de soportar las continuas humillaciones que sufren los alienígenas por parte de los Dragon Keepers, se transforma en humano y logra pasar el examen de ingreso para alistarse a la Patrulla. Sin embargo, sus planes se ven truncados cuando Yumeko Suzukiri, una miembro del escuadrón Yellow, descubre su verdadera identidad. Contra todo pronóstico, le pide aunar fuerzas y eliminar juntos a los Drafon Divinos, pero para conseguir ese objetivo antes deben encontrar la ubicación de los artefactos divinos, unas armas que ocultan un poder descomunal, y hacerse con ellos. Tras urdir un plan con Suzukiri para robar el primero, un miembro del escuadrón Red pilla al soldado D con las manos en la masa, ¡y debe enfrentarse nada más y nada menos que contra los mismísimos Dragon Keepers! ¿Logrará salir con vida de este enfrentamiento? ¿Qué malévolas intenciones esconde Suzukiri?

Este manga me aburrió tanto que me sentía viendo los episodios eternos de relleno de Naruto, se los juro. Es imposible que me importen estos personajes, lo siento xD.

This took me abnormally long to finish. Picking back up the manga each time felt like a chore until I had to set aside time to force myself to finish it. Not sure I’ll continue further.

Go Go Loser Ranger, Vol. 2 (My Kindle Review)

While D has managed to obtain one of the rangers’ divine artifacts that are powerful enough to kill his own kind, we get to see more of their inner world of how violent they really are and that failure is not an option. Later, he gets caught in a fatal confrontation that’ll put him in one of the lower ranks’ shoes and that he might not be the only one with a personal agenda. A- (91%/Excellent)

I’m going to give this 4 but its closer to 3.5
LOTS of twists and turns in this volume. Some parts easier to follow than others. But all of it fresh and intriguing.
I love how fighter D has the most personality but yet is called a Monster and Red is the most brutal but is seen as the Hero.

When the plots twists 😮‍💨

[Robert Pierson · Rating 3 out of 5]

The art was good and it’s nice to see some of the new characters and some of the characters have growth and development in this some parts of the story did kind of drag a little bit which Trying to slow the story down to a bit the ending was kind of interesting in the second while I am kind of interested enough to see where this goes and I’ll probably read the third volume.

If you’re still hoping for Power Rangers, this is not the series for you.

Vol. 2 is a good (but maybe not great) follow-up to Vol. 1.

One thing I really appreciate in the series is taking the trope of “easily impersonating someone to infiltrate a group” and putting it in a more “real” context. It’s not actually easy, sometimes impossible. It becomes more believable and, in my opinion, drives the story more effectively.

I like how Hibiki’s origin story demonstrates the pitfalls of relying on others to determine what is right and wrong. How blind faith in authority does not always lead to salvation. And how intolerance of differing opinions can lead to self-doubt and self-gaslighting. Instead, trying to understand what you feel and think allows space for you to choose what you believe is right or wrong, even if it clashes with someone else’s opinion of right and wrong. It allows you to live a life that feels more just, even if it doesn’t seem just to others.

I love how complicated everything can be at times. It’s engaging and required some re-re-reading for me to understand fully. It’s daunting, sure, which is a sincere critique AND, at the same time, I like the challenge.

I loved volume one, but this volume was incredibly confusing. The fight lasted too long with a villain that had no backstory and stuttered every single sentence he spoke. Thought after the fight I’d understand the plan between D and Sakurama but they kind of leave it open ended, i get it was probably a tactic to grip me into volume 3 but if anything it left me so clueless and frustrated I don’t know if I’ll want to continue. Instead of tying up loose ends with the fight that lasted the entire volume they just skip out of it and introduce 10 characters I know nothing about nor care for in the last 20 pages, then dump a major plot twist. STILL DONT KNOW WHERE SAKURAMA IS AND WHAT HE DID IN THE FIGHT. Kinda strange. Don’t love the pacing yet. D had a major feat in volume 1 and now he’s back to being useless with 0 battle IQ. Idk, didn’t grip me as much as volume 1.

The setup was there, but Haruba's lost me on this one.

Volume 1 ended on quite a cliffhanger, and would've been even more intriguing had those events actually had any impact. The series subverts itself so frequently that the subversion becomes expected, and the reveal at the end of vol. 2 is coordinated so perfectly placed that it's clear Haruba and/or his editors are writing the series to meet not only the serialization schedule, but the book compilation schedule as well. On this one, the plot's already been lost.

OMG !!!

5/5🌟
this manga is so amazing !!!

It kept hitting me with plot twist after plot twist gave me a small insight of how the rangers are and how many of them take advantage of their status.

Fighter D continues to be a cinnamon roll like yes he wants to kill everyone but he's just so adorkable

Sakurama is an interesting character hes definitely someone I want to know more about especially after the ending.

This is so good and I'm so excited for the next volume !!!

[The Book Dragon · Rating 4 out of 5]

So turns out Fighter D didn't die after, you know, exploding! But the Divine Artifact did still hurt him so he's not at 100%. Lucky for him, he's got a surprise ally who is close to a Dragon Ranger... and I'm not talking about Yumeko.

Then it ends on and extra twist.

I still say that it doesn't read as smoothly as I'd like it to. It makes the pacing feel off, almost like a run-on sentence.

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 rounded up

Fun action and got some laughs out of me. Also really appreciate that all the rangers’ helmets have a distinct enough design that I can tell them apart. I read a different sentai that had hard to follow scenes because the character designs were all too similar.

Blessed be all series that include a page of important characters and summary of the last vol at the beginning of the book

[tyrosine · Rating 5 out of 5]

not surprised that I’m into this given I’ve been on a “our heroes are actually very evil” kick via The Boys and Invincible. but what’s fantastic about this story is the delightful character dynamics. the red keeper is the WORST but he’s so fun and when you add Fighter D and Suzukiri into the mix I’m ready to make this my entire personality for the next 3-5 weeks

[Alri Moore · Rating 4 out of 5]

Empieza algo flojo a diferencia de como termina el número anterior pero lentamente aparecen giros inesperados en la trama que apesar de dejar de lado la acción te mantienen todo el tiempo metido en la historia.

L'histoire est toujours très intrigante, même si j'ai trouvé ce deuxième numéro un peu brouillon

[Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I almost stopped reading the book halfway thru shi was boring asf but I’m so glad I finished

Edición argentina, segundo tomo. No recuerdo si este venía con postales o era otro.

I found volume 2 gets a little difficult to follow.

[Rodri · Rating 4 out of 5]

4/5: wow I never saw that coming

[Max · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun slop that keeps me coming back for more deconstruction of classic shonen tropes. I am not a proud man.

[Sergio · Rating 5 out of 5]

9/10

[Travis H · Rating 1 out of 5]

I stopped reading this halfway through when I realized how shallow the characters were. No one was really worth caring about in the end.

[Nat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great continuation.such good execution.

[Jourdy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Everytime I think “ok maybe I’ll just watch the anime” the manga will drop something philosophical or a big bomb and I’m like HUH?!

[Samuel · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5/5.

Picked up a little bit, but still not crazy about this series. I did like the direction it was headed in towards the end of the volume though.
