The new Shonen Jump series Green Green Greens features a protagonist who breaks the standard mold of Shonen heroes by being relatably pathetic.

Yaesaki is a refreshing protagonist in the Shonen genre, with low moral standards but still enjoyable to root for.
Yaesaki's underhanded tactics in golf make him relatable and relieves the pressure of being a naturally gifted or highly dedicated protagonist.
Yaesaki's refreshing portrayal and potential in Green Green Greens deserves a chance to shine in the Shonen Jump lineup.
