A manga about a group of delinquents who’s vocational high school is teleported to a fantasy realm. Now they must use their construction skills to defeat the evil lord and fulfilling the prophecy of the eight legendary princes.
Here’s a fun isekai story I can get behind. I enjoy Hiromasa Okujima‘s other works like Itadaki! Nariagari Meshi and Nyuuyoku Yankees. Delinquents getting into delinquent hijinks while fighting monsters is great. I appreciate that Okujima keeps things silly and lighthearted.

Continue readingItadaki! Nariagari Meshi
A food manga about a delinquent who decides to use his hobby of cooking to rise up in ranks at his school.
The mix of yankee fighting wtih food seems super odd at first but Hiromasa Okujima’s great drawings make it work. It’s also filled with funny reactions from the other delinquents who get “knocked out” by delicious flavors.
A fun read!
