Nov 29, 2025This classic manga feels very inspired by Dragon Ball, but without the bawdy humor that mars some of the earlier volumes of that series. Many of the same tropes exist here - mysterious wise sages come to offer training and advice, and young heroes face insurmountable odds.

A mark of a great story is getting lost in its pages and being sad when the volume is over — both of which happened during my reading experience. Read Full Review
