At other times, though, the series earns its laughs with slapstick and character-based humor, which of course is universally appealing. The race against the biker gang in Chapter 6 is a classic example, as Gin and company rely on wacky tactics to win; the nearsighted ninja in the last chapter is another timeless gag carried to perfection (the poor girl keeps trying to talk to random objects because she can't see without her glasses). And who can forget the stereotypical Americans in the TV infomercials? Gin's hot-headed arrogance is also the source of laughter—like when his boastful words belie his fear of ghosts, or when he thinks he can run a convenience store by sassing all the customers. Only when the series tries to do "normal" Shonen Jump-style adventure does it fail, like when Gin and a friend have to rescue a little boy (a yawn-inducing chapter that takes entirely too long). Readers may also be irked at the lack of plot continuity—nothing ever connects to anything else, except for some storylines that span two chapters.
