this is my first review so bear with me, I saw that this manga had no reviews so I thought I would do one, no spoilers, Ill start with the story i give it a 7, there isn't much to the story, the main character (taiga) and a group of his friends walk into a cave and find a cave painting afterwards the cave starts falling in and they escape, but when they come out of the cave they find them selves around 40,000 years in the past, the story follows taiga and his friends as they survive in the world, there isn't much else ... to it so far. next is art i give it 8, it's not the best art you'll see but its quite good, you can tell whats going on and the characters have a unique design ,overall it's nothing special but it gets the job done. next is the characters i give it a 7.5, the characters aren't great but you will like them and/or hate them, the main character has a plain personality, but he does a lot of cool stuff and you grow to like him more and more, the side characters are likable but nothing special except for one of them and he is really annoying and you will want him to die, and there is small bit of romance between taiga and a girl who i think is very cute. finally is enjoyment, i give it 8.5 i found this manga very enjoyable, there are some really cool moments, the main character is likable as are the side characters, and there is also fun facts about animals and the time period it takes place in so you are also gaining knowledge, if you read holy land which was also made by the same mangaka the information sections about martial arts are the same here except its about animals and survival techniques, overall i give it a score of 8, i think it is a good read and you should give it a try, at the beginning it is boring but it get's interesting quite fast.

This is a Story about survival, the main character Taiga only having a mediocre life finds himself in the past together with others with no way back to the present day, they have to hunt, Fight and Kill in order to survive.
It is in this world, Thousands of years in the past where Taiga discovers the meaning and joy of life, learns the primitive language, helps Homo sapiens rise to power in the war against the Neanderthals, and creates a future for humanity.

The art style is a bit odd but you get used to it, it gives this manga a unique aspect, the ... author really works hard on the story and art and I really want to buy this Manga when it gets an English Translation and Publication.

The real story starts to pick up around chapter 50 where they show their modern knowledge and begin the rise of the Homo Sapiens!

It started very well for me. I assimilated taiga's search and inner problems. I think it describes the feeling of being stuck in modernity well. mangaka who was able to convey the feelings of the side characters, especially those who could not adapt, to us in later part of the story. Idea of ​​going back to prehistoric times drives me crazy, i like to imagine a day of people's ancestors. I like the drawings of early humans and extinct animals, it's exciting to recreate them

But i didn't like that they could adapt so quickly, i expected them to be stunned for a long time because ... you went back hundreds of thousands of years. an unacceptable, utterly improbable situation. there are extinct animals and and just after you identify which species it is, you start looking for a place to stay. are you kiddin me? Is it really that simple to put it aside? Moreover, how in a short time taiga were able to learn the language of homo sapiens? How can a college student studying for hours adapt mentally and physically to fight so quickly? even if he was talented, even if he was spiritually ready, how did his muscles adapt so quickly?

and nazis? I think the story is tied to most cliched place.
