Mini Manga/Manhwa Post!

Without further ado: The Manga

Iruma is living in the streets when he is adopted by Don Sullivan head of the Babel Family Mafia. As the Don's grandson Iruma lives a pretty spoiled life surrounded by his teacher Kalego and bodyguard Opera. Now, at 14 though Iruma has been appointed second in command of the whole family and he's realizing he's got a lot to learn still!

Omg I am not sure how Hiroja managed to make Iruma more adorable than it already was but he did and I am in absolute love! Hiroja managed to take everything wonderful about the original and drop it into a completely different world without disrupting really anything. Honestly, if I didn't know it I wouldn't have realized this was written by someone else. 

I am definitely going to be continuing this series!

As always thanks to NetGalley and Kodansha for the eArc!

Rita is the world's finest assassin. Or at least she was, after finally being arrested the government makes a deal with her; she can become the bodyguard to the children of the elite or stay in jail. Rita of course accepts the offer, becoming the newest teacher at Kindergarten Noir The Safest Kindergarten in the World!

This was just adorable. Rita and all of the side characters we've met so far were a ton of fun, the premise is unique, and the art really fit the story. If you are looking for something just fun to read this is the perfect book, I genuinely laughed out loud pretty much through the whole thing!

And the Manhwa:

The world has been at war since before Sak was born, however, thanks to being a core user Sak has lived a relatively safe and even spoiled life at the Academy, a school designed to train core users to eventually assist in the war effort. While Sak's core ability is rather useless it has given him a heightened sense of smell, thanks to this Sak is able to detect a new virus wreaking havoc on the world while still in it's still in the incubation period. After smelling the virus in one of his classmates Sak is finally told the truth by his mentor; core users have a "caller" a person from whom the core user draws energy from to power their abilities and whole core users may be immune to the virus callers are not. Sak sets forth immediately to find his caller before the virus claims them both. 

This was much better than I expected it to be! We've got a rampaging virus that creates zombies, weird abilities that don't seem to have any rhyme or reason for existing, what looks like a government cover-up, and a romance! 

I really loved both characters in this. While this is an enemies-to-lovers thing it's an interesting take on it, Sak and Lima are complete strangers and while Lima completely distrusts Sak as soon as they meet it's completely understandable. Thanks to whatever this core thing is for Sak it's essentially love at first sight for Lima its random stranger starts stalking me in a world where I was a child soldier. Lima's distrust is 100% reasonable. Sak is also incredibly immature for his age and while part of this is due to being sheltered he just kinda seems to live in his own world. Even without the very weird way they end up meeting, I can totally see Lima disliking Sak almost immediately regardless. 

What I really loved about this though is the Academy or the government clearly knows more about the Core Users and the Callers than they are letting on so we've got a good old-fashioned conspiracy. That alone makes it worth the read in my book. 

The art is absolutely gorgeous as well. I loved the way that colors are used in this as well, only certain scenes are fully colored with the vast majority of the panels having just color added to certain parts of the characters. This emphasizes what is important in that scene. 

I am definitely going to be continuing this series!
