At the age of eight, Ijin Yu lost his parents in a plane crash and became stranded in a foreign land, forced to become a child mercenary in order to stay alive. He returns home ten years later to be reunited with his family in Korea, where food and shelter are plenty and everything seems peaceful. But Ijin will soon learn that life as a teenager is a whole other feat of survival. With only one year of high school left, Ijin must master new tactics to maneuver his way around the schoolhouse battleground. Can he survive a year of high school? Or rather, will the school be able to survive him?
Is it the same plotline every couple of chapters? Absolutely. Do I devour it every single time? Without a doubt.
An overpowered teenager attends a regular Korean high school after serving as a mercenary all his life and confronts his sister’s bullies. Sidenote: Has anyone seen those recent trending TikToks discussing what would happen if K-drama bullies tried their tactics in America? They would immediately start throwing hands. Well, if you want the webtoon version, here you go…
It’s well-written, and the artwork is top-notch—a solid 10/10. This webtoon is already super popular, and in my opinion, it deserves all the hype it gets. With over 150 episodes currently available and more to come, it features not only great action scenes but also cute, wholesome moments, such as Ijin trying to open the convenience store triangle kimbap. Additionally, the webtoon offers amazing character development. Of course, Ijin is my favorite, but I also really enjoyed the side characters, like the other students in Ijin’s class who later become good friends.
