Overgeared Vol. 1 has a familiar concept but really drags out the grind of learning the game

Posted on by

Youngwoo Shin is a deadbeat in real life, working odd jobs to barely pay off his loans. Even his family has written him off as a hopeless video game addict. But when he logs in to the massively popular VR game Satisfy, Youngwoo becomes Grid the Warrior…who is also painfully mediocre. Everything changes when he stumbles across a tome containing the lost knowledge of a legendary blacksmith. The catch is, using it resets all his levels! In order to survive after being forced back to square one, Grid will need to hone his skills and gather reliable allies…or not! Who needs all that when you’re decked out in god-tier items?!

7Fates: Chakho Vol. 1 is an interesting concept but the dialogue and story feel choppy

Posted on by

One day, Zeha wakes up in a hospital bed with a nasty wound on his chest and no memory of what happened. Before he can get his bearings, a city detective reveals that he was found collapsed on Inwang Mountain, the sole survivor of a grisly mass murder. This was only the beginning. The Beom, monstrous entities from another world, stalk the streets, mauling and devouring anyone they can find. When Zeha learns that he is somehow at the center of it all, he decides to stand up and fight. But first, he will need allies– a team of seven individuals drawn to each other, as if guided by fate itself.

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint

Anime NYC, New York City’s largest anime convention, announced the attendance of Sleepy-C, the main artist of the hit manhwa series Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, as an official guest for its Fall 2023 event. Leading up to the print release of the English comic from Ize Press, Sleepy-C will attend a North American convention for the first time, allowing some of the massive Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint fan base to meet the main artist behind the iconic property. 

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint is a compelling survival game manhwa that combines psychological drama and supernatural action—a brilliant series bolstered by Sleepy-C’s amazing artwork. Readers have frequently requested and eagerly anticipated English print editions of the widely renowned Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint since Ize Press, the Korean comic imprint of Yen Press, was announced in April 2022. Written by singNsong, the author of The World After the Fall, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint has reigned supreme as one of the top ten action series on the digital comic platform WEBTOON with over 268 million views and 2.9 million subscribers. This Korean comic series also won the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award in the Manhwa Category of the 2021 Korea Content Awards.

As a market leader in the print publication of Korean comics, Ize Press is honored to bring the artist behind this critically acclaimed title to the West for a weekend to meet passionate fans. More details involving the artist’s scheduled activities will be announced at a later date. Anime NYC takes place in New York, NY, from November 17 to November 19.
