The old guy is from one of the author's one shots, right? Kinda cool to give him that status.

I hope the assassination school brings back the gimmick assassins definitely my favorite part before the manga went straight action.

Roboco: The loving Goreinu joke made me laugh out loud, it's such an obvious joke but the fact that it hadn't been used yet caught me off guard. Complete with the downside of losing 3 players at once if Gachi/Goreinu gets knocked out. I also dig the joke of drawing a gigantic hulking behemoth and calling it an elementary schooler cause that poo poo's funny to me.

First 2 chapters were pretty fun. Feels like it has a bunch of set ups for some fun stupid shenanigans. With the boss and the geek for example. I also rather liked the interplay between the 2 girls.
I will definitely follow this for now.

My son’s best friend is big into sports but not so much reading. Was thinking about giving him some sports manga, but when I looked for volume ones for the sports I know he plays (football, basketball, baseball) seems like they’re all sold out online. Any suggestions?

Not much you can do if you don't have an in-person source, I suppose, especially not if you're not looking to pay markup. (And manga demand is outstripping supply right now)

I started a few manga on volume 2 or later in my youth, when that was what the library or a store had, and it can work out fine, depending on the series. Eyeshield 21 has volume 2s in stock, and that might work. The writer of Doctor Stone and the artist for One Punch Man makes it the go-to football manga.

If digital's alright, there's a few sports series on Viz's jump app if you're in a region it sells to. 2 bucks a month for a massive archive is a good deal, but digital might not work so well.

Any movies or games the kid likes other than sports? Might help find some other options that are getting more frequent reprints.

Hmm, I’m in the Seattle area so I can check out Kinokuniya and maybe some comic shops, just not confident in being able to find volume ones of random manga there, either.

He likes Call of Duty zombies, and Fortnite. Maybe other stuff too, I can ask my son.

I’m looking at maybe just grabbing solo leveling and record of ragnarok, not sports but maybe they’ll be appealing (I’ll have to see how violent/gory ragnarok is).

Thanks!

One Punch Man has done a few of them in the middle of the chapter the last few months. They're amazing.

Ragnarok is seinen and very much a gorefest and revels in it. A fun fighting manga but it certainly doesn't shy away.

The classic baseball manga is Major though i personally don't like it all that much. Diamond no Ace is pretty good as well. Bungo is a bit more over the top and comedic in the beginning but mellows out on the slapstick comedy.

Basketball has Slam Dunk as the classic. Kuroko no Basket is a bit more superpowered for a basketball Manga but by no means a prince of tennis or captain Tsubasa level. Real is about wheelchair basketball though the game itself is more background as the main focus is about living with disabilities and the challenges of it. There are plenty of generic basketball mangas which all don't stand out much but had decent runs and can be a nice casual read.

I'd much rather have the two color page these manga occasionally get on a cool spread than just the first two pages. I get why they're usually like that--it's to make someone flipping through WSJ stop on the chapter that's got the flash of color right at the start--but a well timed color splash is so much nicer.
