Continue readingKashikoi Ken Rilienthal
A manga about a brother and sister who’s new family member is the talking super dog Rilienthal!
This was Daisuke Ashihara‘s series before he did World Trigger. While World Trigger has far better wide appeal, I was a big fan of this wacky sci-fi/slice-of-life story.
The biggest appeal of Kashikoi Ken Rilienthal is the how wholesome everything is. When Rilienthal and his friends get lost on a ghost ship they fix the problem while befriending a lonely ghost. When a friend’s jealous feelings manifest itself as a huge monster they resolve the problem by talking it out. Even many agents of the secret organization that want to kidnap Rilienthal show lots of heart and compassion. This really is an iyashikei shonen series. Unfortunately it never found enough popularity in Weekly Shonen Jump and was ultimately canceled but I still look back fondly at this cute manga. It was nice to reread it on Jump+.

World Trigger
A manga where a special defense agency protects a city from the invaders of another dimension known as “neighbors”. A young agent meets a humanoid neighbor and changes everything about what he knew.
2018 marked the miraculous return of World Trigger after nearly a 2 year hiatus. I had largely given up hope that the series would return after the first year so I overjoyed when it did.
I was a fan of Daisuke Ashihara’s work since his previous series Kashikoi Ken Rilienthal. Ashihara likes to create many characters that are genuinely good people and I really like that about his stories. His artwork has improved during the course of this series though I’m slightly concerned with the huge amount of characters he keeps adding to the story.
Super happy that we get to read more of this great manga!
