World Trigger

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!
