This is an interesting story where our main character is an assassin, but he was in an accident saving his sister. His sister is working on healing her brother by doing it in a very odd and dangerous way. I would like to see where this story goes, as it's an interesting concept.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this e-ARC!

Yet another manga that I'd love to follow but there's no valid paid app to read on T^T It's a really fun action manga with an interesting concept. I liked the art, and the action was really fun with the different chairs the male MC used. Definitely recommend for people who like just fun slashy action shounen!

This is what manga is for! Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha for the opportunity to read this one.
Tank Chair has been on my radar for a while - I saw the cover art and added it to my mental “check this out” list. The art style reminds me a lot of Q Hayashida, definitely some Dai Dark/Dorohedoro vibes.
Obviously violent with some really dynamic panelling. Fast paced, fun and some very unique character designs.
I will be checking out Volume 2!

Warning there is violence
It ended up being more interesting than I originally thought it would be. When I try to compare what it reminds me of, the closest thing I could think of is Dorohedoro (the art style). I am left with lots of questions after reading volume one, but so far the developments are moving along at a decent pace. One part I was surprised to see right at the beginning was a gorilla (not sure if there are other species or if someone genetically mutated), but in this world it seems like people can "improve" their bodies too. We learn bits and pieces of their backstory that seem like it will be relevant soon- like hiding from the Academy. Will be reading a bit more to see if it's a series I’ll continue.
Summary:
Nagi became unresponsive three years ago after he tried to save his sister- the doctors are surprised he is even alive. Shizuka, his sister, is not giving up on getting her brother back to normal, even willing to go as far as accepting risky assignments for his “therapy”. She does whatever it takes to figure out the best way for him to stay responsive the longest. No matter what he has to feel murderous intent to awaken. Thus, Shuzuka will even threaten her own brother's life for his recovery. As Nagi finishes out a hit, it seems he becomes unresponsive not long after but he still tries to talk to his sister as long as he can.
Thank you @netgalley and @kodanshamanga for the opportunity to read.

This is one of the dumbest manga I have read in a while, and I loved every second of it. Makes zero sense, constant gore, and copious amounts of action. The only reason this exists is for a pure fun factor and oh boy does it accomplish that in spades.

A good graphic novel full of action and well-done graphics. The story is fast paced and will keep your interest. The plot is well told and holds the premise for further stories in a series. A good read.
Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Tank Chair 1 is like an intense and gripping action manga that takes readers on a violent, adrenaline-fueled journey through a dystopian world. Fans of Chainsaw Man, Battle Angel Alita, and Dorohedoro will find themselves right at home in the chaotic and brutal landscape of Guicheng Island, known as "the most dangerous town in the universe."
The story centers around Shizuka, a young girl taking on the deadliest assassin jobs, and her brother Nagi, a formidable assassin left in a wheelchair after taking a bullet to protect her. The unique twist of Nagi needing to face murderous intent to wake from his comatose state adds an intriguing layer to the plot, driving the siblings into battle against the most dangerous foes.
The artwork is stunningly detailed, capturing the gritty and slick environment of their world, and the action scenes are dynamic and visceral. The character development is well-crafted, particularly the bond between Shizuka and Nagi, which provides a strong emotional core amidst the ultra-violence.
Overall, "Assassin in the Deadliest Wheelchair" is a must-read for fans of dark, action-packed manga. It delivers a compelling mix of high-stakes battles, complex characters, and a relentless pursuit of recovery and survival. Highly recommended for those who crave a thrilling and brutal adventure.

I look thorough a lot of manga daily and surprisingly missed out on such a cool story! I'm glad the title wasn't too on the nose like "Wheelchair Assassin."
A wheelchair assassin is a very cool, unique concept. The competent assassin brother became wheelchair bound and normally in a mental comatose after a taking a bullet to save his hostage sister prior. He only temporarily responds to someone else's genuine killing intent. The stronger killing intent, the better. The sister feels responsibility and guilt for the accident, but it doesn't dull her bright personality and an ambitious goal to aim for dangerous opponents/targets until there is someone with enough killing intent to complete revive her brother.
It's a straightforward goal with zanny action, a gorgeous art style, and a crazy post-apocalyptic setting that's not explained yet. Both siblings truly care for each other amidst some crazier aspects to them (probably due to the setting). The last chapters introduce an antagonist pair I'm already hoping to see again and implications of more threatening foes to come.
Really looking forward to volume 2 and hope I'll get an opportunity to read that early like this one. Thank you again to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to read this insane story early.

This has got to be the COOLEST manga I have read in a long time. Such fantastic disability rep, and it's BADASS!! I'm so excited for this series.
