There's only 4 chapters currently scanlated, might as well hop in and check it out. It's getting licensed and the first volume will hit store shelves in English in november, as well.

Lmao, I genuinely thought it was by the Gantz manga author. The art style and the use of digital drawings is almost identical.

The current scanlation for whatever reason doesn't translate the Japanese subtitles for the aliens when they're speaking, which seemed like an odd choice. Fingers crossed for the official release

The alien speech bubbles are in English in a weird font

Huh, seriously? They're incomprehensible to me for the most part (I can see now a few of them are words), and not all of the Japanese subtitle are accompanied by speech bubbles. The first several pages of the most recent chapter are either PA chatter or radio chatter that is purely in Japanese subtitle.

I think that the joke is that, despite punching and kicking, they were actually mages and had the class advantage (which is why there was fire around their punches/kicks).

There’s 3 guys top right who are just firing lightning from afar, so at least some of them are just pure mages. “Oh no, delinquent mages” is a fantastic line anyway and it’s a great panel.

I really like this art. It's like Berserk style hatching but with a lot more economy of line.

The manga's awesome. The friend who introduced me to the series actually said the anime was solid so I'll have to look into it.

Yeah there’s a lot of Berserk dna in the art at times, to the point where I wonder if the mangaka worked as Miura’s assistant at some point

Karate Survivor In Another World

Genuinely shocked at how good this turned out to be. Guy gets isekai'd, thrown in as he was in our world, no powers besides karate. Survives in the wilderness for a long time, weaving clothes out of plants and hunting goblins to survive before stumbling upon other humans. Exceedingly brutal and unflinching, and the art and especially action is quite good too.

The Elden Ring OFFICIAL MANGA is usually a comedy book with filtered game art to make up the bulk of the pages. Its fine, works for what it is.

But once in awhile the authors really show off their chops.

Oh shoot, that art looks like the guy who draws the cursed sword and the dragon quest webcomic. That should be pretty funny and good

The creator of the Elden Ring manga is insanely talented but usually wants to stick to throwing a barrage of gags at you with no breathing room where maybe one of out five gags actually lands. The Radahn fight is incredible looking though

He did Monster x Monster too which was basically the same issue. Have not read Cursed Sword so not sure how that one is

Cursed Sword is really funny. Unfortunately the elden ring comic missed the mark for me.
