Synopsis

When he was eight years old, Yu Ijin was the sole survivor of a fiery plane crash in a foreign land. To survive, he became a notorious mercenary—honing his arm-to-arm capabilities, marksmanship, and combat prowess into those of a skilled predator. However, 10 years later, after encountering soldiers deployed from South Korea, he rediscovers his remaining family: an adorable little sister named Dayun and a warm-hearted grandfather.

Upon returning to his home country, a brand new trial is presented to Ijin—to assume the mundane life of a typical high school student. From scheming bullies to newfound friendships, every experience is new for Ijin. However, when his past begins to catch up to him, Ijin will have to use his years of experience on the battlefield to protect his loved ones.

Preliminary (180/? eps)
This is an action packed webtoon. The scenarios are intense, the art is great, colorful and dynamic, the characters are lovable and so well introduced that you never end up forgetting them even after a lot of chapters. There is also a lot of comedy throughought the chapters, even though it isn t the main genre of the manga. It's surprisingly mixing cuteness and badassery very well.

Each chapter is breathtaking even after reading 180 of them. The main character doesn't become too powerful like in other stories of this genre, and I always find the events happening logical and realistic. If you like seeing bad ...

Art- 10/10

Honestly, it isn't that good. First few chapters were excellent, but repetition really killed it for me. The same plot happens over and over and over again. It's the same shit again and again and again. And granted, it is very well drawn, the art makes very easy to understand the action, and the MC is a cool guy. But resolutions sometimes are very unrealistic, like YeongChang becoming friends with his bullies all of a sudden, it gets a very contrived plot sometimes. Also, the story is supposed to be about a boy who is basically a war machine who is put in a normal ...
