One Point Yankee is a super lovely manga

Ever since I read Angel Densetsu so many years ago, I have loved manga about protagonists who look scary but are super sweet. One Point Yankee (Toorigakari ni One Point Advice shite iku Type no Yankee) is one such manga.

Where Angel Densetsu stars a scary looking, very good, but otherwise normal boy, One Point Yankee is a bit more closer to something like Machida-kun where our protagonist (called Sakurai-san) edges closer to Saint territory. He is so good.

Actually given that Sakurai-san is so good at everything and is full of mystery, it might be far more accurate to say Sakurai-san is Machida combined with the perfection of Sakamoto.

Lady Baby is an interesting comic

First off, I’d like to wish best of luck and power to those protesting against police brutality (as well as everyone else who supports them but is quarantined/unable to help). Fuck da police in the US as well as many other nations. People should not be suffering or dying because of a racist institution. Change is long overdue.

That important update out of the way, I wanted to briefly talk about Lady Baby which is an interesting reincarnation web comic.

The Eminence in Shadow is downright hilarious

Scrambling to get through some quarantine content. I hope you all are doing well and are safe during these anxious times.

Read Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute (the Eminence in Shadow). It is probably the funniest isekai I have tried.

This manga is so hilariously chuuni. I love it.

Chronicles of Heavenly Demon: Yet another very solid martial arts comic

Chronicles of Heavenly Demon is a Korean martial arts comic about a skilled martial artist of the Spear Sect who was killed then reincarnated a few years later into an entirely different, demonic, sect. He goes about training, seeking strength with the aim of avenging the people who killed him and his old master.

Reincarnated in the future with another chance at martial arts greatness is by this point a tried and true formula and I love it, but Chronicles of Heavenly Demon is an especially fantastic implementation of the formula.

Mofumofu to Isekai Slow Life o Mezashimasu is nice!

With respect to tone, Isekai stories tend to come in 3 varieties. There is the standard pace ‘strong mc gets to go an adventure’, the recently popular ‘revenge I HATE EVERYONE’ super edgy tone and the pure slice of life fluffy story.

Contrary to what the title suggests, Mofumofu isn’t completely in the fluffy side of the spectrum, rather it veers between fluffy and standard and for me that’s perfect. I occasionally like the fluffy ‘I just do farming’ isekais, but they usually don’t grab me like a good adventure would.

Volcanic Age is excellent

In continuing the theme of one rushed post at the end of the month quickly talking about a webcomic I really like, I really like Volcanic Age. In fact I am surprised I forgot to do a post on it until now.

Volcanic Age is one of those reincarnation comics that start with someone dying but reincarnating as their past self. Basically they are given a second chance at life to either fix their wrong doings or help mitigate disaster/chaos/war. I feel like out of the current popular batch of manga/webcomics, Volcanic Age was one of the earlier ones or at least more popular ones to try out this story setup and it is still damn good at it.

Tower of God is a remarkable achievement

This post is probably many years coming. In fact I wrote a small blurb talking about Tower of God in this Halloween post 6 (oh god time is bad) years ago. In fact, while I don’t recall the exact date that’s probably when I ‘temporarily’ stopped reading Tower of God. You know how it is, you forget to read a new chapter and then they just pile up…for years.

I recently read up and caught up to the nearest chapter (in like 2 days 2 or 3 weeks ago….).

Immortal Invincible is a fun manhwa

For the first time since I made this blog (2010) I forgot to make a post, breaking my 1 post every month chain in August. It broke my heart. And now I am getting late for September lol. Oh well.

Anyway I recently caught up Immortal Invincible which is a pretty fun martial art manhwa.

Quick Manga Recommendation: The Scholar’s Reincarnation

Oops, it is the last day of the month and once more I was too lazy to make a monthly post until literally right before the end, so here have a manga recommendation for another fun manga I enjoy a lot.

I love Solo Leveling

Ooops, left the monthly post till the last hour again.

I have been a fan of Korean web comics for a long time, and my current fixation is Solo Leveling written by Gee So-Lyung and drawn by Akira Rei and REDICE.
