NEWS: Viz Media Announces Print Edition for World Trigger Manga

Viz or whoever, just gimmi Medaka Box already..
Including dem novels.

It's nice to see another WSJ title going to print. I'm enjoying reading it as it comes out, but probably won't pick it up any time soon.
I'd really like to see the other WSJ that premiered shortly before this series, One Punch Man get a print version. Now that I'd love to get in my hands so I could flip through those quick animated action scenes.

A gate to another dimension has burst open, and from it emerge gigantic invincible creatures that threaten all of humanity. Earth's only defense is a mysterious group of warriors who have co-opted the alien technology in order to fight back!

World Trigger is super generic 'teens with powers' fare, that obsesses a little too much with 'Ranks' and unique weapon specialization. Its the kind of pseudo-militaristic action nonsense that gets regurgitated in the manga/anime scene a lot.



But my GOD. Has it grown on me over last year. Its not brilliant by any means, but has a sense of fun to it. And even a twist of brutality (so many bloodlessly dismembered teenagers.) And the art is generally pretty good, and now that the neighbors have been given a voice instead of being a bunch of less then exciting designed monsters, the conflict itself has gotten kind of interesting.

I won't be getting the print editions (digital only for me) but I would say its a series worth checking out. Even if it takes a few volumes to really hit its stride.
