Manshuu Ahen Squad is a story set in the historically largely unrecognized puppet state of Manchukuo. It is a story set in the periods of tense war between China and Japan.
To preface my review, I would like to start by saying that I am Chinese, and I had been to Nanjing's massacre museum during my exchange trip there.
I shouldn't have to prove it, but here are some photos I took there https://imgur.com/a/k95bhHA (there are spots where you're not supposed to take pictures out of respect, but these are the ones I took.)
The first reviewer called this Japanese propaganda and a Nanking denier, but I for

As much as I enjoy a good historical drama, this just isn't it. While certainly the setting, art design, and context seem to be right, the story does not pull through with the same degree of believability.
The reason being is that despite having aspirations of being a serious historical drama - with its detail into the opium black market trade of the time and attempts for a serious dramatisation of the characters' plights, Manchurian Opium Squad pulls too many tropes from more pulpy genres (the main dude at the moment seems to be building some kind of weird opium-led harem) and thus it has ...

Excellent start of manga.
From what I realized it will be a dense story about the protagonist building his opium empire (Walter white of the mangas Lmao). The protagonist seems to be a "good person" type so we will probably also see a journey of him becoming anti-hero throughout the plot. As far as I could tell from the world of this work, it will be a story that will involve Marfia (Yakuza) and the government in the issue of opium. The Art is very beautiful. It remains to be seen how it will turn out in the busiest parts of the plot. Perhaps this is the beginning ...

He tries to sell this drug he made to the Chinese mafia and there he meets the badass hitmen chick who’s daddy runs a

This is my first official review of anything on this website! Kind of odd I haven't done one yet. But today, this changes as I stumbled upon a manga with such an interesting premise, I could not hold off on catching up to the latest chapter. And the manga is Manshuu Ahen Squad. A better title would be Breaking Bad: The Manga. This is effectively about drugs. The protagonist, Isamu, is a soldier working to make money to save his dying mother. Since his line of work does not pay that well, he looks for other ways ... |
