Record of Ragnarok, Vol. 1 by Shinya Umemura, Takumi Fukui

5.0

So engrossing, this is an absolutely divine (heh) concept - the clash between mythology and human history, the mightiest gods and most memorable figures in history. Both the gods and humans come from different cultures, so it's a really interesting mix (even if it's mostly European and Asian, seemingly missing out on the great Aztec and African mythologies). There's great humour, absolutely epic fight scenes (duh), and great twists during them. Also love the research that goes into the characters, like referencing the prose Edda, Chinese history, and more. Loved it!
