      Yeah. I haven’t read it in a long, long, long time, but I liked the horny “shy girl learns to believe in herslef through the power of exhibitionism” goofynesss. But then when the author tried to make it dark or serious it was kind ick.

    I read i think the first couple volumes in college. I liked some of the humor and some of the themes, but I always find the “oh no I’m tied up all sexy like” sorts of jokes in comics/manga to be sorta lame. The comic has a surprisingly good supporting casts. I think the lover/boyfriend “Thugboy” was pretty good character in that there aren’t a lot of good depictions of solid and generally supportive boyfriends in comics.

    But Empowered was it’s sorta like a “One Punch Man” before there was “One Punch Man”. I think Empowered is fine. It was not for me but then again I tend not to like superhero comedies, but that’s just me. Empowered is fine-ish overall, I do really dig the artstyle. Very manga meets superhero before things like My Hero Academia or One Punch Man.
