Preliminary (108/267 chp)
Much like the other reviews, I cannot begin to say how insanely good this Manwha/Webtoon is, and if things go well with Crunchyroll during their test runs on Tower of God, God Of High School, and Noblesse, I can see a future anime adaptation for Weak Hero.

This is everything you want, in a cold, exciting, action read. The scenes are brutal, the emotions are real, things are so grounded in reality, you can almost imagine them happening right in front of your eyes.


Story: 9/10
At no point does the story of Weak Hero fall short (for the most part.) Even when we take cuts into peoples pasts, or turtle in between 'arcs' you still get a nice strong fill of emotion, action, and set up. The story is RICH, you have angst, sorrow, happiness, excitement, you name it, it can deliver it. There are times where you will feel sad, this Manwha delivers are rich amount of real life tragedies that affect us all, and it really drives home how traumatizing some of it is. It doesn't shirk away from scary topics like suicide, bullying, gang-affiliation and the fear that comes with it. It's more than just an action book, its a full-blown story with its own world and development.

Art: 8/10
As it's a Webtoon/Manwha you'll get your simple art, simple panel to panel, sometimes only speech bubbles. However where this Manwha excels is in the fight department. Sure it delivers on peoples emotional reactions, and dramatic scenes. But when it comes to Gray and his style of fighting, oh man, will it send shivers down your spine and hook you into it. Gray is not a clean fighter, and the ideas that pop out of the Authors head are captivating. I promise you one thing, if you read it, you'll imagine an animated version of it. Each moment really captivates the emotions and actions that are happening.

Characters: 9/10
It's hard to talk about the other subjects without touching down on how phenomenal each character is. They all have a unique character trait, no one protagonist is the same as the other, and they draw well upon one another, like a well tuned machine, or a puzzle. You get great character depth, astounding development, and you can really get down and understand what each one is thinking.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I don't give this rating out often, but I found my niche love. Every time I see someone stare into the eyes of 'White Mamba' after they know who he is, the drawn work of art really lets me see the fear they have.
Whenever you go to the next chapter, you can see the evolution of art style, drawing, ad character development. You jump on the journey of a growing Artist/Story Teller, and their work is a smash hit. I can't stress how much I recommend this.

Overall: 9/10
Read it, if you like action mixed in with dramatic story telling. Enough said.
