World Trigger Story & Art by Daisuke Ashihara Chapters
1-72 Review
When Osamu meets Yuma for the
first time they don’t realize the conflicts yet to unfold or really who the
other even is. As the war between humanity and aliens, referred to as neighbors,
unfolds how will events play out? Can Yuma even be trusted? Soon the two will
find themselves embroiled in a web of secrets and a war of epic proportions.
Serialized in the boys’ anthology
Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan, World Trigger has a cast of thousands and this can
be detrimental at times. This does not become a problem until later chapters
though. Earlier chapters feature introducing the core players in the plot.
However, this means that thus far character development for many people has
been limited at best. Currently it is
probably one of the better manga being serialized in the English version of
Weekly Shonen Jump. The world itself is rather dark and fascinating.
Another core character, who is
not introduced for a few chapters, is Chika who becomes one of the driving
forces for the series. It’s clear the series has a grand story to tell and has
already started going in compelling directions. The plot begins to become more
gradual in the latter half of this set of chapters with the recent arc running
for roughly half a year to date. In conclusion, World Trigger is a rather
interesting series and worth a read if one is a fan of science fiction.
