Do you ever feel like you've already read every good manga series? You search and search for something fresh and exciting, yet you seem to run into the same overused isekai, harem or shounen manga.

Well look no further because your new favorite shounen is here! I don’t mean to quote Josuke Higashikata but after reading the oneshot I felt like it was “new year's morning after I just put on a fresh pair of underwear.”

Time Paradox Ghost Writer is a manga which focuses on an up and coming mangaka named Teppei Sasaki who has failed numerous attempts at making his pro debut in the ... shounen jump magazine. He is both a very likeable and relatable character who is not without flaws. Which make him far more interesting and lifelike, helping to both endear him to the reader and provide a means for character growth as the series progresses.

The art style is also of near impeccable quality, in a style somewhat reminiscent of Bakuman. It has been digitally made so the lines are both crisp and clear, along with vividly shaded colour pages which grab the reader's attention and help to pull them into the story. In terms of character designs they are nothing exceptional yet are extremely pleasant to look at. The main character has a generic harem protagonist look with black hair and a face which reminds me of a Raku Ichijou from Nisekoi. Whilst the female lead looks like a thicker version of the main girl from 118282. She is drawn to be exceedingly cute with the airs of a shy genius around her. The background art is also quite well drawn blending seamlessly with the characters and creating a great ambiance to the series.

Moving onto the story, it can be said the concept is a mishmash between the time travel and slice of life genres. Creating a truly unique concept which instantly draws the reader in and leaves many questions yet to be answered making you wait with anticipation for the next chapter. Currently this story is also one which is hard to predict and one which could go in several possible directions. Either focusing more on the mangaka aspect or time travel aspect of the series though I hope it is the latter.


Time travel can be a difficult topic for many authors to tackle but if the mangaka continues this manga with its stream of consistent quality I see no reason as to why it wouldn’t go down as another sensational shounen jump manga.

Solid 9/10
