Mod Edit: This review was originally posted for Gokurakugai Sanban-doori no Ken (125448) and has subsequently been merged into Gokurakugai (147874).

For a one-shot, it's simple and straight to the point. The vast majority of one-shots you come across try to compress so much content into 50 pages it just becomes overwhelming. Out of place action, cringey comedy, paragraph explanations of how a superpower works, etc. But Gokurakugai Sanban-doori no Ken does none of that. In this one-shot you just follow the characters for a day or so and see what they do for a living. The story implies that even though we only get to ...

Preliminary (3/? eps)
Gokurakugai follows the daily lives of Tao and Alma, who run the Gokuraku Troubleshooter's Office, an out-of-the-way business that aims to "solve problems."

Preliminary (19/? eps)
Found the artist on twitter and just got swept up by how good the art is, had to read the manga, didn't disappoint, great character designs, very expressive faces, good panel layout, great environment, amazing art all around, fights aren't good though, there isn't much choreography and it's not particularly engaging, and so far the magic system doesn't seem suited for a shonen series, now that i think about it, there wasn't even a single proper fight yet.

Story is very generic and just bleh, i don't really have a better word for it, bland, boring, shallow, uninspired, even when something interesting shows up, nothing is ...
