Juuza no Ulna

Juuza no Ulna

Holy crap. This is the best manga I’ve read since BEASTARS. A powerful blend of science fiction and war drama, this manga follows a new female sniper fighting against alien creatures on an alternate world. It immediately reminded me of WOMBS because of the special division of women soldiers the story focuses on. The design of the enemy Zudo creatures are fantastically bizarre and the story quickly swerves you with twist after twist.

I could not put it down. Unfortunately it’s only been translated to Spanish so I’m going to have to spam Seven Seas Entertainment’s monthly surveys with this A+ series until we get a proper English release.

…I’m being 100% serious when I say this is the BEST manga I’ve read, only 2nd to BEASTARS!
