THE GOD OF HIGH SCHOOL

An exciting first volume in a new fight competition series.

There’s something eerie coming—a dangerous bill is going to be passed, and a tremendous explosion serves as a warning to those who dare stand against it. But Mori Jin isn’t particularly worried about any of this: He’s a 17-year-old taekwondo fighter trained by his grandfather, and he’s never lost a single fight. As a result, he is invited to participate in a mysterious secret competition called the God of High School. At first, he isn’t interested, but after losing his first fight to the person trying to recruit him, he’s motivated to give it a try. Other participants are in it for different reasons: Daewi Han wants to help his friend with hospital bills, and Mira Yoo, who’s always dated boys who are strong, might just show the world she’s the strongest of them all. As the three grow closer and discover a common enemy, the stakes of the politics behind the competition become more deadly as well. With a great dose of humor and a likable main cast, this action-packed competition-style manhwa will keep readers riveted. The art is colorful, and the fighting scenes are detailed and smoothly executed. The story takes place in South Korea, and the main characters are Korean.

An invigorating read.
