World Trigger is the most underrated shonen manga of all the shonen manga I know.
I'm going to write a synopsis first. I'll write it briefly, it tells the story of A gate to another dimension has opened, and from there emerged a giant invincible creature that threatens all of humanity. Earth's only defense is a group of mysterious warriors who have used alien technology to fight back, that's the outline of the whole story
okay now go to the review

STORY: 8/10
For me, the story itself is quite interesting, because we will explore various worlds later, which of course will be very interesting if there is a ... chance to explore the world of the world, and the story also actually has the potential to match the current shonen manga, but how that potential is fulfilled it all depends on the mangaka.
Now that we've talked about the pros, let's talk about the cons.
First, until now there has not been seen any main villain, for now the planet aftokrator is the goal and may be called the main villain for a while, why? because after the aftokrator problem is over, the main villain will disappear, Maybe this story intends to be an adventure story in another world, that's possible given the many worlds that exist, if that's true then it's only natural that there is no main villain (although to me it would still feel strange if the MC doesn't have a main goal, which in other shonen manga the MC has the goal of defeating the main villain).

Character: 6.5/10
Well anyway, this is a shonen manga, I didn't have high expectations for Char development, character traits, and level up power which is different from most other shonen manga, ahh but for the character design I like it, that's why I added 5 in the score.

Art: 7/10
As for the art, well it's standard shonen manga, not good but not bad either, as per shonen manga standards.

okay maybe that's the last one, and overall I give it an 8/10 rating, this is recommended for those of you who like fantasy sci-fi.
btw this is my first review, so sorry if there is something missing.

This show just screams wasted potential, the premise isn't that unique to say but the perspective the main character gives a breath of fresh air. He's not OP, but not too talentless, his design is bland ( but I think that's deliberate), he finds alot of methods to make himself stronger instead of the usual i gonna try my body so hard that I can fight talented me and improve hard work pays of blah blah blah. This is just a guy who doesn't have much time and is trying to take the shortest route to do undertake a certain objective. I think Kuga ... and the MC are fine additions and both play off with each other quite well now.

This at times has really good shading and some good development and motivations through out the place, its fun enjoyable read now I gonna say why it's wasted potential.

But I have to say the Latest Arc with the B tournament is actually great, its fun we see new characters different strategies, seeing peoples quirks etc... Just previous arc does this a disservice

Art Style is really bland, its quite mediocre I feel like if the author did this monthly it would work better due to his health or if Jump allowed the author do an issue once every 2 weeks.

Character Design again they established a decent world, but problem is that everyone looks the same, so much reused models and sometimes it's so hard to tell which person is who.

Villain Models- these are bad, like terrible when u have an all out war and fighting the same enemy it just gets boring, i can do in depth why but just take my word for it.

Pacing- I think the pacing for this manga isn't bad, but after certain War arc that where the problems lies, they are so many chapters of images that really do not need to be there its pointless filter. If u wanna pace a war sequence of an invasion read Kingdom is one of the best war kinda mangas or if u looking for a power fantasy One Piece Whitebeard War is how to pull it off. Keeping the main focus with the protagonist where as we see the other characters fight to show development for whose necessary and but still being focused. I think this improves after this war arc is finished but the problem lies that is 38 chapters long is not good almost an entire was dedicated to this arc.


Characters again I think that this shows pro, the fact I can read that so unappealing visually and paneling wise also but because the characters are sorta relatable it's kinda pushing that away especially the main two leads. But the other characters they sorta have development but it's so cliche and tiresome at times I sometimes skip chapters because they are so boring and personalities of cliches u have seen a million times. Also, i do not like Jin he is way too OP and gifted and is so similar to other better characters I know.

But my biggest problem with this show is the lack of consequence, the main power has such a convenient ability its kinda frustrating because u know people can' t die.

Overall its actually not bad and if it wasn't that war arc I would have given it a higher rating but again this is standard. This, not HxH that an anime will improve on the concepts they on page, it produced by Toei so don't expect the anime to be good, serviceable maybe.

World Trigger is shounen series mix with some sci-fi elements and its kinda work.

[Story]
Earth is under attack by different dimensional alien monsters. That all you need to know and it's a good set up, a lot of room for the creator to plexes his imagination. Plus open goal for the story to move freely on its own pages and perfect for a long epic war story.

[Art]
the alien monsters and the setting are beautifully drawn but the characters design is the biggest reason why I dropped this manga. They are drawn in simplistic designs, meaning the lack of expression and it's terrible. It's something likes ... this:
Normal scene: stupid faces
Life and death combat: the same stupid faces !!!
I mean it's just so frustrating to see the same F***king faces on every F***king characters at every F***king moment.

[Character]
I have nothing again the characters, they're fine. Nothing to hate but also nothing to like.

[Super Power]
What I like about shounen are the creative ways they used super power.
And World Trigger really know how to use its power system. From what I see, everything it's very balanced, every match wins by skill and experience. Plus the main cast progress at a reasonable rate and no bullshit power buffs.

[Enjoyment]
The terrible art alone kills the entire experience for me. But if it doesn't bother you then I completely recommend reading its.
