Synopsis

Class 3-2 of Sungdong High School was just like any other class: a mismatched group of individuals preoccupied with their crushes, upcoming university exams, and other ordinary day-to-day worries. Yet, when strange purple orbs rain down from the sky one day, the students find their lives changing beyond the limits of imagination.

Capable of sporadic and sudden destruction, these spheres quickly send the world into a panic. With the South Korean military forces stretched thin, the government hastily enlists those in secondary education and above into the army. Now drafted into military training, Class 3-2 must abruptly set down their pens and pick up rifles instead.

Promised that they will encounter little danger—and that bonus university points await them post-service—the reluctant students are coaxed into accepting their new duty. Marching onward with an apathetic and easygoing attitude, the class begins their military service, unaware of the grim reality that will soon erode their innocent, carefree spirits.

It's difficult to put into words all the series talks about, and it's done with purple balls that explode.

Of course, war being the first thing that pops into mind. It's one of the most outlandish premises I've seen in a while, but it's exactly that outlandishness that makes it so great. It touches upon war, yes, but it does it with something so strangely neutral. These balls, descended upon the earth one day. If you step close, they attack. They divide, and they're fast when done so. Simple as hell, typical as not many things, with some added complexities. It's not the threat that ...

What can I say? It's basically a masterpiece.

STORY: 10

The plot lets you relax at first and then on and on and on it goes to different ways you could not imagine (which is why it is a psychological story).

ART: 10

HA IL-KWON draws on his manhwas is extraordinary in which he perceives and ilustrates the characters based on their personality and their development

I want to preface this by saying I think that Afterschool War Activities is really special in a lot of ways. For me its one of the few, probably only, stories that did a school setting right. It actually feels like school, an average classroom. I didn't realize it till I had read this just how real you could write it to be. It also managed to juggle its large cast extremely well - you don't really feel like anyone or any event loses focus cause of the size of the cast - the distance it takes from each of the characters is just right. ...
