Ride-On King

Ride-On King

A manga where the president of Pursia, Alexander Purchinov, who is obsessed with riding on top of things gets sent to a fantasy world where he will now ride mythical creatures.

Yasushi Baba got popular with the martial-arts genre and has slowly veered off into serious comedy. This series seems like the end result of his journey into absurdist territory. I’ve talked about how crazy Golosseum was and now Baba has taken his parody of Vladimir Putin and done an isekai series about riding dragons and wyverns. It’s bizarre to say the least.

Golosseum

Golosseum

This manga is INSANE. Russia vs USA via martial arts involving fake versions of Hilary Clinton, Putin, Hulk Hogan, and Rasputin. Throw in a decendent of Hijikata Toshizo and a Godzilla sized Andre the Giant because WHY NOT?!

Baba Yasushi is known for martial arts manga but the concept of technology that renders humans impervious to firearms and explosions so that we can have World War of the Fists is so crazy you kinda get sucked in to reading more.
