The Best Martial Arts/Drama Comic You've Never Read... It'S ToTaLlY ClICkBaIT (I swear this isn't clickbait)

So a preface on the title, the topic I'm covering sounds like something that is so dramatic it's actually clickbait. Honestly readers, even though clickbaiting might be the shortcut to gaining more pageviews, I am not really writing reports, reviews, or opinions for that. I need an outlet for these thoughts so that I can focus on other tasks. In any case, thanks for continuing to support this blog.

Today in the United States, it is Labor Day. I'm here to talk about a manhwa (Korean-made manga), called The God of Highschoool.

This manga takes place in Korea, and is a lot of things. 

1. A dramatic story about life and justice. What it means to be free, what it means to be responsible, and what it means to understand other people. 

2. A fast-paced, intricate and explosive martial arts story, with excellently organized fight scenes, quick progression through evolution of the character's strengths, and thoughtful purpose and feelings behind each battle.

3. A comedic story with young adults enjoying food and games, old people joking about each other's old age, and middle aged people making fun of each other's names (incredibly situational, but still hilarious).

Odin, is the one with red skin, and Satan is the one with white hair.

4. A story about mythology. The way the author pulls in mythology not only of East Asian cultures, but also of European and American, and South American, and African cultures and uses them in the plot but also for special powers, is remarkable.

What might be the most interesting part about this manhwa, besides its incredible variety in genres, is the way the author manages to keep continuity and flow in the story. 

It is one thing for an author to be good at pacing story arcs to keep the interest of the reader or to write an extremely dynamic story that has many plotholes and just occasionally happens upon an exciting moment. However, it is another thing for an author to incorporate slice of life/drama, martial arts, comedy, mythology, with a clone of the main character taking over the story, with a secondary character even more interesting than the main character, with a time-skip unlike any time skip you've ever waited for...

At 375 chapters, The God of Highschool is hardly a suggestable story to start bingeing now. However, the story is about to start getting even better from this point. I honestly believe that even more than Dragon Ball Z, than Naruto, than even One Piece, this is the best martial arts action manga to read. 

"It doesn't matter who I am! Whether I'm real or fake! None of that trivial crap matters to me!! Because! Whoever is stronger here is the real one anyway!!" 

-Mori Jung to Mori Dan, The God of Highschool Ch. 332

PS: This really doesn't have to do with Labor Day, I just wanted to say when this was written.

PSS: I'm gonna write chapter reviews on this manga anyway.
