Banya: The Explosive Delivery Man (Manhwa)

Banya is a fast paced mature shounen manhwa where odd characters and violent action are put together in a stylish way. The author has created a distinct world with its own conflicts, heroes and adventures.

Banya follows a protagonist of the same name who works as a delivery man in the Gaya Desert Post Office. Together with his friends, he goes on various missions and always delivers the package. No matter what challenges lie ahead of him.

The first couple of volumes concentrate on different assignment that Banya undertakes. Beuatiful art, plenty of carnage and interesting monster designs immediately suck the reader into the narrative. After several story arcs, the main plot finally arrives but sadly, it does not have sufficient time to have a real impact. It would have been much better if the story had more time to develop. As it is, it feels rushed and fades into the background letting action take place at the forefront of our attention. The ending feels a bit rushed but considering the total amount of volumes (5), it should not come off as a big surprise.

Despite the fact that the plot centers around the development of the main protagonist, most of the secondary characters still come off as quite interesting and the stylish visuals really help commiting them to memory.

Overall, this manhwa was enjoyable to read. The reader cant help but think that it would be so much better if only it lasted longer. However, it is still a fun ride and thus, earns the score - 8/10 read more
