Also ngl these "THUGs" are more realistic than your average delinquent manga.
And while the monster is a low quality cartoonish slime, I like this psyop focused battle, rather than a lame visual effect showoff.
But man, no idea how you can possibly make this serious plotline goofy... I've read twice and I'm still not gettig how they manage to slip in those insane jokes while keeping the pace, fantastic work.
