Versus Earth
A manga where humanity is battling against deadly pillars who threaten to exterminate them appear from the ground. Teenager Haruto Teragane is dragged into this battle after becoming partially infected by a pillar shard.
A very decent sci-fi shonen action series. I enjoyed reading it in Weekly Shonen Champion. I thought Yoshihiko Watanabe‘s action scenes were engaging and while the story setup by Kazutomo Ichitomo was a bit generic I still enjoyed reading about Haruto learning to harness his pillar powers for good.
Unfortunately this series was canceled mid-story after 9 volumes. I was pretty bummed about it but I just learned that Ichitomo went on draw a sequel series called Versus Earth – War Hammer. I’m excited to track it down so I can finally finish this story!
