The Beast Pirates Are The Weakest Among All Yonko Pirates

Image
       From what we know, Yonko is the title giving out to the most potent pirate captain in the One Piece universe. Each of them has power that is equal to each other, but they are not alliances. They are enemies fighting over territory in the New World. In fact, they are in a stalemate situation because if one of them is in an all-out war with other Yonko, it will disrupt the balance of the power. Despite their great power as a person, they are more fearsome because they are supported by hundreds or even thousand pirate crew. Some of them are much stronger officers than the rest of the crew and have complete authority to control their underling.  By far, the pirates of the Yonko are the biggest threat to the World Government, as it was in the past, when the Whitebeard Pirates fought against the Marines and the Shichibukai, leaving terrible devastation for both sides. Therefore, the World Government could not imagine what destruction would occur if the Big Mom ...

Sousou no Frieren, A Heartwarming Story about The End of a Journey

Image
    Most of the fantasy manga begins with the hero and his companion traveling around the world to defeat the evil forces and to bring peace to the human world. But this kind of story did not happen in this series.  Sousou no Frieren  by Kanehito Yamada & Tsukasa Abe tells a story about Frieren and her friends, Himmel, Heiter, Eisen, after defeating Demon King and their lives. The main character in this series is Frieren, she is an elf mage who loves to explore anything about magic, but when it comes to her personality she is calm, lacks expression, and ignorant.

Which One is Better, My Hero Academia or Jujutsu Kaisen ?

Image
       This is a hot topic of discussion in the manga and anime community and is still debatable until recently. In these couple of years, some manga gains popularity, among others are  MHA, Black Clover, Dr.Stone, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsawman, Kimetsu no Yaiba, and so on.  The question is, why compare JJK and MHA? why not compare other series? there is some reason why JJK and MHA is the best match-up. Kimetsu no Yaiba and Chainsawman already end even though they are popular and have really good sales. Black Clover and Dr.Stone are quite popular, but their sales are very low compared to other popular series, not even approaching the top ten manga sales annually. So, Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia is evenly matched, that's because they are battle shonen manga, still ongoing, have really good sales, and gain more popularity because their anime is just so good.     When it comes to sales, surprisingly JJK is becoming 2nd place just behind Ki...

Why I Lost My Interest in My Hero Academia

Image
  My Hero Academia is a shonen manga created by Kohei Horikoshi that tells a story about a young boy named Deku, who dreams to become the number one hero in Japan. But in a society where a superpower is normal, his dream becomes unreal to achieve, because he is one of the few people who doesn't have a superpower. One day, a certain event happens in his life, that changes his life forever. He meets All Might, his favorite hero, and inherited his power.      As a new manga that comes after the end of the Big Three era (Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, even though One Piece is still running and remain to the top ) , My Hero Academia gives us something new and fresh. Deku as the main character is different than any other MC in battle shonen manga. He is not the kind of MC who is hot-headed, instead, he is a type of hero who calmly tries to analyze everything and is a little bit shy when it comes to the girl. The superpower in this manga is unique but simple, it's...

Introduction

     Since childhood, I have always loved manga and anime. The first manga I read was Naruto , but One Piece was the manga that dragged me into the world of manga and anime. That's because of the world-building, characters, and story, it's amazing. Since then, I've always followed and read a lot of manga/anime. My main genre is shonen, such as Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter and many more. But in recent years, there have been some changes in me, which made me read seinen manga. Complex storylines, detailed art, diverse and mature characters, realistic fighting styles make seinen give a different taste. Don't get me wrong, I still read shonen manga, and always will, but only my point of view has changed now. It gets wider when looking at manga/anime. Day after day, I spend a lot of my time looking for manga/anime. Now it's not about popular stories or characters that I'm looking for, but also about sales charts, manga ratings, theories, authors, and ...
