Robo-kun's got a problem--he's got no personality! To the point that it's kind of creepy to his classmates! But when his best friend introduces him to the world of golf, his life takes a turn! What will happen when a robot tries to play golf?
Aendri Oct 11, 2019 7 Not a bad story by any measure, but... it feels lacking. On multiple occassions throughout the story, the author elected to include timeskips at points in the story where you would normally expect to find development and a deepening behind the characters. This results in other parts of the story feeling unresolved, and developments later in the series feeling surprising, or completely glossed over. While the story is decent as it is, I absolutely feel like it could've used another 30 chapters of actual development, especially before the first time skip. As it is, there are references to his parents (that are barely developed at all), references to training and competitions (that are almost 100% glossed over), and entire competitions with other top players (who are referenced, detailed, and then never actually shown off at all). There's basically no payoff. You'll read about individual games in a tournament with multiple detailed and named characters, but not the rest of the tournament, and it all just feels very... rushed and choppy.
FrozenEarth93 Jun 10, 2017 8.3 Still new series at the time of this review. But as neither a fan of golf or sports manga/anime I have to say this manga has me hooked. Great pacing in the stroy thus far, interesting characters, really great art and character design.
Robot X Laserbeam Chapter 30
Nathandouglasdavis Dec 5, 2019 7 Robato initially doesn't understand how sports are fun or why people get fired up and excited about competing against other strong players. Fe's emotionless and robotic and can't seem to compute how human emotions function. But after fe joins the golf club, fe slowly gets in touch with feir inner shonen-manga protagonist and realizes that fe loves golf and wants to compete against other strong players. So, even though Robato is expressionless and methodical in feir mannerisms, I'd still say that thisstorydisplays feir guts and passion just like one would expect from a sports manga. And they definitely go over the top with the cheesy passion. There's a reoccuring notion of doing things at 120%. Likewhen Robato puts in 120% into feir training exercises. Or when fe puts in 120% power into feir swings when fe's competing against Suzaku. Or when fe uses 120% concentration for feir Ex-Laser miracle precision shots. But they don't stop there! Oh, no. They go all the way up to 160% at one point. And I know that we've all long since become numb topeopletalking about giving 110% or whatever, but it's worth noting that this is an inherently ridiculous and stupidly hyperbolic way of talking. And only gives the shallow impressionof drama, while not actually making the story any more intense than it would have been if they said fe wasputting in 100% effort. This manga had a real problem with building up expectations for the story to play out in one way and then changing course.For example, we expect thatRobato and Youzan will face off in the high school golf club tournament, and we see Robato working toward that goal for almost twenty chapters only for certain events to suddenly make it impossible. And again, in regards to the Vermillion Bird Tournament, we are introduced to the seven wonders of Japanese golf who will be competing in the tournament as well as Suzaku and we have the expectation that Robato will play against several of these people as fe works feir way through the tournament, but then Nope. When I first read this manga chapter-by-chapter as it was being released, I remember being disappointed when it ended. Largely because it left me feeling like there were dangling plotlines. Though I can understand why it ended (I assume it was cancelled) since it wasa pretty cheesy and cliched story and there didn't seem to be much variety in the types of players Robato would compete against--basically there were brute-force players like Suzaku and Dorian and odd-shot players like Rion and Ginrou and that was it. Several of the character designs are almost identical, so it can be difficult to distinguish between people. Like Kazama and Ginrou are almost indistinguishable. And I also confused Tomoya and Rion for each other several times. Basically, 120% of the male characters have nearly identical spiky hairstyles, with only hair color to set them apart.Hatohara Robato, nicknamed “Robo” by his classmates due to being as methodical and expressionless as a robot, is seemingly friendless until entering Eiai Academy, where he meets Tomoya Nakata, an extremely friendly fellow first-year. Nakata instantly attaches himself to Robo, and in the process, recruits Robo into the high school golf club. While highly reluctant in the beginning, Robo soon develops an interest in the sport (likely his first interest in anything…) after meeting prodigy golfer Youzan Miura.
As a avid consumer of sports manga, I was quite excited to start a new series, especially about a less covered sport like golf. New sports titles have become rare recently. The few that make it into publication seem to get axed after a few weeks (i.e. Ole Golazo in Shounen Jump). I began reading this manga with high hopes for it to last though. Regardless of actual quality, this manga is the newest work of Tadatoshi Fujimaki, whose last sports title Kuroko no Basketball was incredibly popular and likely to give him much more time and benefit of doubt with Shounen Jump editors.
Robot x Laserbeam is about Robo’s journey in uncovering and developing his talent and passion for golf. The manga starts off super cliche, using many tropes from other sports series.
Read Robot X Laserbeam Chapter 60: Final Hole, Part 1 On Mangakakalot
However, that doesn’t mean using these tropes are bad. Authors do recycle common themes in sports series, in part because backstories, i.e. why characters are so passionate about their sport of choice, don’t really matter that much. What matters is that these characters
Super passionate. They care so much that they would train hours and hours just to get better. They care so much that they would lie about injuries just to stand on the field and be able to play. And everything is determined in a single moment — all your past efforts can be rewarded if you win, or “wasted” if you lose.
“Sports just get you pumped up, don’t they? You practice, get stronger, and then put it all on the line in a match…”
Robot X Laserbeam Ch. 51
“Wanting to win a match, wanting to defeat your rivals…I don’t understand the feelings behind those desires. It’s all well and good to do what you enjoy, but I’ve never felt like I wanted to compete with others to establish which of us is superior.”
This dialogue in Chapter 1 hit home with me. I really felt like the author / mangaka was not just writing the story in question, but also commentating on the bigger picture of sports manga as a whole, and perhaps even the recent decline in readership interest in sports series. Many audiences, like Robo at this moment, may not understand the attraction of sports.
How can these kids be so serious about a ball game? But they are, and the thing is, you don’t need to understand the feelings behind those desires to have those desires. As the series progresses in the first 30 chapters, Robo gains those desires. He wants to win matches. He wants to defeat his rivals.

Explains why he suddenly developed those feelings. Sure, a rival appeared and was super passionate about the game, so he in turn became really passionate? Does that make any sense really? No. But does it matter? I don’t think so. They care, and as a result, the game is high tension. The game is high stakes. The game becomes worth watching.
In the same way, for readers, “origin stories” don’t really have to be fresh and original for the manga to be entertaining.
Because of the sheer amount of re-used concepts in Robot x Laserbeam. Why are there so many? Kuroko no Basketball had such a simple design in comparison. Reading Robot x Laserbeam made me feel like I was recycling from all the major super popular sports series. To name a few of the more obvious ones:
Robotxlaserbeam, Vol. 1: I'm Not Going Out To Play Golf (english Edition) Ebook
Done really well in Hikaru no Go, this concept is actually not often used in sports series, where main characters tend to have many different rivals of almost equal importance. And these rivals are usually only short-term motivators for 1-2 arcs, until they are defeated or their relevance is decreased.
However, in Robot x Laserbeam, Youzan Miura is not only a rival, he’s THE rival. Youzan serves as a primary motivation for Robo’s entry into the golf world, and his subsequent desire to climb to the top. The origin story here is almost a mirror of Hikaru no Go, where Touya Akira, who was already pro-level, meets Shindou Hikaru, who doesn’t even know how to play Go.
