I had never heard of Alice in Borderland until everyone started talking about Squid Game and the alternative similar things you could read or watch like it. This manga actually came out in 2010, with the Netflix series only coming out in 2020, so I’ve apparently been behind on this whole “death game” genre for a while. Now that I finally got around to reading Alice in Borderland, I have to say that it’s quite good, and fans of this now-booming premise will likely take to it pretty quickly. Alice in Borderland follows buddies Arisu and his friend Chota. Both…

I love a good Jump manga. Somehow, they just appeal to me, be they action or comedy. Sakamoto Days Vol. 1 stood out to me for being a mix of both, and I’m happy to say that it’s another hit for Jump. It’s charming, funny, and surprisingly intense, all at once, so you don’t want to miss it. Sakamoto Days Vol. 1 is all about Mr. Sakamoto, a man who was once the most feared hitman around. One day, he falls in love, has a child, gets fat, and leaves the hitman life behind to run a convenience store with…

Kaiju No. 8 has a really cool concept. An average guy accidentally swallows a bit of kaiju and becomes able to turn into a kaiju himself. He hides this power from most of the people he works with to avoid persecution while using it to aid humanity. It’s pretty simple, but it rules and allows for some really fun action and comedy. Volume Two of the series is a strong follow-up that further develops the world while continuing to endear us to Kafka Hibino and his pals. Volume Two picks up right where Volume One left off, with Kafka saving…
