Jungle Juice Vol. 4 isn’t the strongest volume but there’s a lot packed into it

Posted on June 16, 2024 by Brett

DON’T LET THE BAD BUGS BITE The good news: The task force has safely made it out of the trap Pet Shop had set for them on Black Rock Island. The bad news: Suchan had to go into full-on berserk mode to do so…and now he has been labeled a threat by NEST! Branding Suchan a ticking time bomb, most of the professors want him quarantined before he can become a risk–save for Professor Ji. In order to prove his student isn’t the monster they think he is, Professor Ji must fight Suchan, even if that means trying to kill him. Unbeknownst to NEST, though, death looms around another corner–Pet Shop is back, and this time they’re bringing the battle to campus. Their target? Professor Ji…!

A Business Proposal Vol. 5 is the best volume yet. A fantastic rom-com

Posted on May 28, 2024 by Brett

The big day is finally here. Taemu takes Hari to meet his grandfather and receive his blessing…only for her to be flat-out rejected! But Hari has come too far to give up. Fishing, hiking, watching dramas―if it means getting on the chairman’s good side, she’ll do it all! Meanwhile, Yeongsuh faces relationship problems of her own when her father tracks down the lowly secretary who dares date his daughter. And when Sunghoon comes back from the meeting, he seems a changed man, his face devoid of its usual warmth and sweetness…

Jungle Juice Vol. 3 is fantastic but the series is basically X-Men with Insect/Human hybrids

Posted on April 29, 2024 by Brett

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST Suchan and Dohwa managed to escape Breeder’s forced feeding attempt―but that was only the beginning of Pet Shop’s malevolent agenda. Upon learning the rumored whereabouts of one of their bases, NEST professors decide to send a team to investigate. And what better way to determine the most qualified students than through a group tournament?! Suchan, Huijin, Dohwa, and Hyeseong are far from easy pickings, but against opponents who are willing to flout the rules and play dirty, can they still come out on top…?

7Fates Chakho with BTS Vol. 3 continues the interesting concept but is a bit muddled

Posted on April 26, 2024 by Brett

With his skills improving by leaps and bounds, as well as a growing circle of companions, Zeha feels like he’s settling nicely into the role of a Beom hunter. But he gets a harsh reality check when the team discovers a vast underground lair where the Beom have been taking the innocent people they’ve kidnapped. Zeha and his friends have no clue about the purpose of this facility, but the hellish scenes of death and torment they witness make it clear that the Beom invasion is far bigger and more malicious than anyone could have imagined. After an intense battle with the guards, they prepare to lead the captives out to safety…until a familiar foe joins the fray―Bulti is here, and now it’s personal!

Itaewon Class Vol. 1 is a solid debut that reminds us a bit of Les Miserables

Posted on April 23, 2024 by Brett

A single choice can completely alter one’s future―a truth no one knows more than Saeroyi Park, whose decision to stop a school bully exposes him to the harsh reality of money and power. Things go from bad to worse when his dad, who stood by him through it all, gets killed by the very same bully…and Saeroyi vows to take a life for a life. After his rash, rage-fueled murder attempt ends in a prison stint, though, a new plan kindles within him: open a restaurant, recreate the joy his father showed him, and cook up some proper revenge. And there’s no better place to do so than the neighborhood of freedom, diversity, and delicious food―Itaewon!

Sakura-Con 2024: Ize Press Licenses Semantic Error – An English Print Release of the Iconic Korean Boys Love Comic

Posted on March 30, 2024 by Graphic Policy Team

At Sakura-Con 2024 in Seattle, WA, Ize Press announced the upcoming English print release of the Korean webcomic Semantic Error. The series stands out as one of the most celebrated works of Boys Love in the world of manhwa, one that follows the enemies-to-lovers story about two college students—the strict and logical Sangwoo and the star of the university Jaeyoung. Since the announcement of Ize Press, Semantic Error has been frequently requested by many fans and followers of the esteemed Korean comic imprint, eager to finally collect an English print edition of this iconic series that was serialized on the webcomic platform Manta.

Semantic Error

Adapted by Angy
Original Story by J. Soori

Computer science major Sangwoo Choo values reason, routine, and rules above all, so when the rest of his teammates fail to contribute to the group presentation, he doesn’t hesitate to cut everyone’s names from the project entirely—including design major Jaeyoung Jang, which ruins his plans to graduate and study abroad. Jaeyoung is more than happy to return the favor and strives to be the biggest thorn in Sangwoo’s side—but as they spend more time together, a strange attraction begins to develop between them… Will Sangwoo be able to debug this semantic error from his life?

With Angy’s incredible use of color and J. Soori’s masterful character development, Semantic Error is a must-read for Boys Love fans looking for an opposites-attract story with great pacing and delicious chemistry. It is a fun yet mature story that focuses on the complicated emotions that come with falling for someone unexpectedly. The tension between its characters is wonderfully complemented by the depth of their self-reflection. They learn more about themselves through their interactions and growing feelings, which leads to the intimacy and vulnerability that have delighted readers worldwide.

The popularity of the webcomic led to two media adaptations—a four-episode series of animated shorts released in 2021 and a live-action Korean drama released in 2022. The live-action drama and the actors who portrayed its iconic characters went on to win several awards in Korea from reputable organizations, such as the Grand Bell Awards, Blue Dragon Series Awards, and APAN Star Awards. Boys Love has risen to become one of the most popular genres in the world of media, and Semantic Error has become one of the most beloved works among its many diehard fans.

The on-sale date of the English print edition of Semantic Error will be announced at a later date on the Ize Press social media pages.

NCT 127 Reveals the NINE Variant Covers for Limitless

Posted on March 29, 2024 by Graphic Policy Team

Z2 Comics, SM Entertainment, and Universal Music Group present Limitless, the new graphic novel from K-Pop megastars NCT 127, and the very first officially licensed K-Pop print graphic novel. The comic introduces a brand new fictional chapter into the lives of all nine members of the global phenomenon. Limitless is available in standard hardcover and deluxe hardcover editions, set to release in summer 2024. The graphic novel is co-written by Reiko Scott with art by Ziyan Qiu and Ana Jimenez. Kayla Felty and colorist Megan Huang are the cover artists. The standard hardcover will come with nine variant covers, each featuring members of NCT 127. The deluxe hardcover will come with nine art prints illustrated by Kayla Felty and a certificate of authenticity.

Presented in the manhwa (South Korean comic) format, Limitless follows NCT 127 in the midst of their world tour, as the group rehearses for its biggest performance in America to date: a sold-out stadium show in New York City. The night before the concert, however, the group encounters mysterious dreams, putting Mar, Johnny, Taeyong, Jungwoo, and Doyoung in otherworldly scenarios. This ultimately creates a reality-crossing mystery that the five—alongside Taeil, Yuta, Jaehyun, and Haechan—will unite to solve. As NCT 127 grapples with this enigma, they must overcome their fear in both the real world and this new, surreal dreamscape.

The Uncanny Counter Vol. 1 has an interesting concept but there’s small issues that add up

Can his new job of fighting evil and chopping noodles give him the answers to his parents’ mysterious deaths all those years ago?
