This manga really feels like a throwback, "monster of the week" type stuff from the 90s. I mean honestly they might as well be chasing the "shikon jewel shards." There's an overarching story but it's made up of little short stories stitched together. I think that's part of the appeal, for me at least.

It feels different from what most popular shounen or otherwise do now and maybe that helps it stand out to younger viewers too (besides other things it does well). Every week, or every couple chapters is a whole new world. It feels nostalgic in that way, sometimes.

I'm soooo curious about this Zuma, Ajumma, whoever he is! Sensei, what's with the god-tier writing (and teasing)!?

P/s: I wonder if anyone read a kind-of-more-on-the-obscure-side manga called Yankee Juku e Iku? This arc starter is giving me hope for a random and awesome delinquent storyline 🙏

I love Inuyasha. It's one of my all-time re-reads. Still learn heaps from it till this day!

these high-school male "kids" are supposed to be only 15 , 16 , or 17 years old , but they look like they are actually 30+ years old .
how many times that they have repeated the same class ? lol .

the yankee punks make an effort to go to school , but they dont study , they only fight and kill each other ? lol .
