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.
