Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Sharpandpointies]

It eventually does stride the line a bit for me, with that whole "anime peak human can do things that would shatter a normal human's body", so they still feel a bit "metahuman" to me, but yeah, they're a LOT more reserved compared to most manga about it. Early on though, you're right on how weak he is. It's refreshing that the main character is really just a guy, and has to rely on tactics like "trick the golem to jump off a cliff, because I can't even scratch the thing." Most other manga, I feel like they'd make a point to show off he had some special hidden talent and blow away the first few enemies.

spoilers:

The Dog Knight gets killed with one punch to the head by a comparatively weak golem, despite his "genius martial artist" abilities. You really wouldn't expect that in a manga like this.

Yeah. They DO get rather crazy in the future, but that's some time off the start, and in the beginning completely rely on imaginative and desperate use of their relatively weak powers.

I really like this one. Figure it's probably my second favourite manga, upon re-reading.

It also helps for me that its short enough I actually can read it all without it feeling like a marathon slog. It was just about as long as it needed to be.

...Angel Densetsu IS a marathon slog. But of mini-stories, I suppose. ^_^

I'm just burnt out on excessively long-form content. I managed to get through Berserk and Hunter x Hunter, but good grief. There's just too many other things to read, I can't spend forever on a single series!

Maybe when I was a teen, I could power through and marathon like crazy (and I did), but I just do not have that kind of stamina/patience these days. I blame the internet. And probably early-onset senility. :P

Speaking of re-reading, I just re-started Double Arts. It's a fairly solid manga, and it's only 23 chapters since it was canceled after its first major arc. Still manages to wrap up its "Book One" well enough.

Angel Densetsu isn't...a normal manga, by any stretch. I mean, it's a 'Teen school' manga, but that's a poor description.

For starters, it's done by the dude who did Claymore, so the art style is rather unique.

Secondly, the characters are HILARIOUS.

Third, it's not an action manga, though there's a fair amount of action in it. And the characters are mostly realistic, just not so much the central character. And it's...just ridiculous, without being silly. It's hard to describe, and must be experienced.

Started as a one-shot, then the author continued it into a massive series. Art style changes slightly between the series and the one-shot, but still fun.

I will also +1 to it being great.

Highly worth reading, it's just good wholesome fun!

Well there's that at least. I'd advise researching what can be done about these kinds of things in the future too and keeping an eye on your funds and belongings.

Sorry, I don't have experience in these kinds of situations.

I haven't even finished Persona Q yet, but I accept that Q2 is going to be bought.

[Sharkerbob]

****, I haven't even played Persona 5 yet. And by played, I mean, watched all the cutscenes on YouTube.
