It was honestly pretty good. I like the characters quite a lot even if they seem a bit stereotypical. 75% of the story is literally just a retelling of John Wick while the 25% focuses on the FMC and MC's relationship. I'm thankful I got here before it blew up (chapter 8), and hopefully it does, because not a single chapter so far has been bad. The art is really good too, with some of the action being "holy fuck, it did not have to go this hard." It has a nice dark undertone which fits the theme well.

Would I recommend it? Hell yeah, ... it's 8 chapters as of now so if you have like an hour of time I'd read it over. The chapters are decently long but they remain entertaining throughout the duration of the chapter. If it were 100 chapters, I'd still recommend it. It's honestly worth reading as it has fun dynamics and fun characters. It's not perfect, the story itself (not the chapters, those are fun) can come off as boring, and it's pretty slow paced, but it's worth a read and I'm wondering how it ends. Something tells me this will be a great tragedy.

8.1/10


This manga has the aura of a mainstream comedy manga, and if you’re reading this, then you’re here before its popularity skyrockets — seriously, this is some good, fun stuff that capitalizes on the trope of mostly emotionless mcs finding solace.

I’ll state the massive positive regarding the story: it’s simple but wholesome. The plot isn’t too complicated, though it tries to be at times, making the comedy very dumbed down in a good way.

The mc and fmc also aren’t too dumb, and their interactions are equally hilarious and wholesome at the same time, which is hard to accomplish.

As for a slight negative, I ... wish there was more development or depth in the plotline or characters; however, that’s not a major knack since when there has been depth, it’s some good writing that wasn’t forced into the story. It’s also a bit understandable if this manga lasts anywhere from 90-170 chapters, causing a rather slow but well-worth development.

There’s absolutely zero reason not to pick this up and give it a shot, even if the genre seems a bit out of your ballpark. There’s enough action to satisfy thrill-seeking readers, enough cute/wholesome interactions for the kawaii enjoyers, and a solid amount of comedy for everyone; of course, these are all accompanied by some visually appealing art.
