Still one of my Favorite Webtoons! Gray the White Mamba is ruthless, and I’m soo happy he’s developing friendships with Big Ben and the gang. Also, I know I’m supposed to hate Donald, but as a villain, he’s so incredibly compelling and with the shit, that I can’t help but stan him.

Referente as temporadas 1 e 2 ( capítulos 01 ao 127)

Isso aqui é bom demais.
Primeiro que você tem que mergulhar na ideia de ser adolescentes brigando igual profissionais a cada esquina. E que são todos incríveis não só na luta, mas alguns são super inteligentes e tals. Apenas aceite isso.

Depois disso é uma história maravilhosa de um grupo da sociedade sendo totalmente oprimido por um grupo não maior, mas que retém um maior poder. E a cada capítulo o grupo oprimido se revolta contra o opressor. É simplesmente genial.

Ele mostra como não devemos ter medo e lutar por aquilo que acreditamos. Que você ser apenas um telespectador te torna um ser humano tão lixo quanto o que oprime.

Que você tem que ir em busca daquilo que acredita e mesmo nos momentos de dúvida continue sempre em frente, estude, melhore, evolua, faça sua parte por você....

É muito muito fod* esse manga/manhwa/etc.

Não só vale a pena ser lido, como DEVE ser lido por todos.

Agora partiu para temporada 3 : The Last One!

Spectacular

If I were to sum up Weak Hero in a single word it would be that. Though you may be put off by the ridiculous amounts of swearing and the unrealistic setting, please persevere! You will find some truly heartwarming moments that broke my heart (you know what part I'm talking about rip).

There are a lot of worldbuilding problems including one which is very common to YA - where are the adults? Along with this we have no police, teachers etc but we have student led gangs. The swearing and the violence may also put you off. Lastly, why on earth are there no women?

Honestly though, I enjoyed it even with these significant problems. Normally I absolutely loathe terrible worldbuilding but I suppose in this case it works. The characterisation, storyline and fight scenes more than make up for it.

Can we appreciate the amazing, fleshed-out characters who are just the most precious cinnamon rolls?!? I want to jump in the world and wrangle Donald Na for trying to hurt my bois. The bonds of friendship between them are stunning to see and even the villains are sympathetic and well-done. The redemption arcs actually work too.

The artwork is amazing and the expressions feel alive. It felt like watching an anime at times as the artwork and the pacing worked in tandem to create some of the most visually stunning fights that I've seen in my life.

The best thing about this series are the fights themselves. How could they not be when this is a fighting webtoon for 90% of the story? All the fights are creative, well-crafted and light years ahead of the generic fighting you would normally see.

Again, I cried for Stephen's death; this time after Gray vs Wolf Keum. I did not need to have that happen to my already fractured heart-

To get an idea of Weak Hero think of a monster-of-the-week set up, but focused instead on teenage gangs in a world where grown-ups, when they exist at all, are matchstick periphery characters and your peers are out for blood. If you are one for cold, calculating protagonists with angsty backstory and tried and true brotherhood surrounded by brutal violence and colorful language – give it a shot.
