Saitama has strong beliefs as a hero and it’s cool! The battle scenes are hot, but it’s a comical manga that will keep you laughing from beginning to end. Recommended for people who want to enjoy both battles and comedy.

Combining alchemy with battle, battles using weapons are attractive! In addition, there are many female characters in the story, and each one of them is cool, and you will definitely like them.
World Trigger
The author: Daisuke Ashihara
Synopsis
Invaders called “Neighbors” suddenly appeared in Mikado City and attacked the city. An organization called “Border” rushed there and wiped out the invaders, so saving the city from crisis. Four years later, the main character, Osamu Mikumo, becomes a C-class serviceman of Border and meets Yuma Kuga, who says, “I am a neighbor.”
comment
I really admire the battle scenes in the near future! Each character’s weapons and fighting style are unique. Basically, teams of 3 or 4 people fight, and the strategy is very detailed. What makes this work different from others is that the main character is weak. He think hard about strategies to fight because he knows that.Also, it’s exciting to see the truth of the world gradually revealed.
My Hero Academia
The author: Kohei Horikoshi
Synopsis
A phenomenon in which a baby born in China began to emit light has led to people all over the world being endowed with ounce of power. In a society where approximately 80% of the world’s population has ounce of power, the main character, “Izuku Midoriya”, does not have the power. However, the main character, who had a dream of becoming a hero, met the hero he admired, “All Might”, and decided to inherit his ounce of power.
comment
The various battle scenes that use ounce of power are very exciting, and you will never get tired of reading them. The story is set in a high school where you can learn to be involved in heroic activities, and everyone will want to root for the main character as he tries his hardest. There are many depictions of American style, so people who like American comics should read this book.
Message
The four works introduced this time are recommended for those who want to see battle scenes and those who want to get fired up. These works are also popular in Japan, and all of them have been made into anime, so it might be a good idea to watch the action scenes in anime.
This blog, I would like to disseminate Japanese anime, manga, and light novels overseas. If you are interested, I would be happy if you read my other articles!
