(AfroGamers.com) We’ve gotten into isekai manga and manhwa quite a bit here on AfroGamers—it’s one of my favorite subgenres or themes in comics. In discussing isekai, we often blah-blah over specific types of isekai. Another favorite manga/manhwa genre is martial arts. Now take those two and put them together and ...

(AfroGamers.com) As an anime or manga fan, you’ll run into two notable questions of preference. The first which tends to descend into ugliness of varying degrees is subbed versus dubbed—often the subbed group starts in on the dunking of dubbed anime. It’s often funny if not unnecessary.

(AfroGamers.com) Swordmaster’s Youngest Son is a martial isekai manhwa by creator Ice Penguin. I’ve made it no secret that I love isekai and martial arts comics and putting the two together—a popular combo—is the Reese’s Cup of manga.

(AfroGamers.com) I love martial arts anime and manga. Not really “I’m powering up, look at my aura flames! Ahhh!” martial arts manga–although I watch it–but more along the lines of series that depict pretty realistic interpretations of martial arts.

Historical fiction can be hit or miss. Sometimes you get something truly great like the material Balogun and Davis puts out with The Scythe and other series. Or the Marvel Noir series and American Vampire. Another series that can be added to that is the seinen (men’s) manga series Blaster ...

One sub-genre within the Isekai genre is Harem Isekai, which features a male protagonist surrounded by multiple female characters who are attracted to him.

(AfroGamers.com) Solo Login is a manhwa that has gotten my reading time recently. Normally, isekai is what I read but this title is something different but very familiar. I guess you could sum it up as more of a stripped-down action-fantasy series. It is based around the main character being ...
