This is your monthly reminder to read Blue Period. That is all.
(Except it is not!)
I've been on a manwha binge of late (a lot of villainess series, but these aren't those) and there's a couple I thought I'd recommend while I was thinking of them.
- God of Blackfield: Korean dude fighting for the French Foreign Legion in Africa is betrayed by one of his squadmates and killed, only to reincarnate three years later as a Korean teenager who has just tried to commit suicide due to bullying. Que the series trying to be super-serious and action-heavy but failing to stick the landing so badly that I spent almost the entire time reading it laughing out loud. That or screaming at my laptop for him to fuck the Frenchie (you'll understand my pain if you read it).
- Legend of the Northern Blade: After the son and heir of one of the world's best martial arts sects watches his father commit suicide after being betrayed by his brother-disciples, Jin (the son) is forced to live alone in the ruins of the once-great martial arts sect. His only company the guards assigned to ensure he stays there and does not learn martial arts. Fate, however, has other things in mind. This series has honestly been amazing. While the initial premise is nothing new or all that original, the elongated prologue (that lasts the best part of fifteen chapters) really helps build a vast depth to both the characters, world and setting of this story. Even if action and martial arts really arent your jam, I'd recommend giving the series a look-in just for the colourful cast of characters (though you won't really begin to meet a lot of them until around Chapter 21) each with their own unique outlook on the world and perspective of how to live within the rules the world forces upon them.
- Hellper: Only just started reading this one (I'm about 6 Chapters in) but what I've read of it so far has been nothing short of amazing. The art and characters are all sublimely balmy exuding this air of constrained and concentrated madness perfectly. The whole series is available for free officially translated into English on Webtoon.
- White Blood: Female. Vampire. Jesus. In a leather jacket. That's it. That's all you get.
