I did purchase this title for our Young Adult Graphic Novel collection. It has circulated a few times but I don't think my teens at our library are interested in Webcomics and they are more into the manga.

The first volume of The God of High School is a light-hearted and fun introduction to the manhwa. It's a self-aware, at times funny, constantly over the top and unrealistic, fast-paced manhwa with good art (not the best I've seen, but very still very solid). Definitely an enjoyable read, but ultimately this is just the first volume and is mainly setting everything up for the later volumes. Nonetheless, it's a good start.

The very, very start of this volume was a little confusing, and also rather irrelevant so far, though I'd assume it's further elaborated on in later volumes. Other than that, this is a manhwa, which in my experience means that usually women aren't represented in the best of ways. It's not egregious by any means, in fact I'd say it's on the better side of what I'd expect from a manhwa, manga, anime, etc. Few underwear shots and like only 2 women characters, oh and one of those 2 character's goal seems to be entirely based around men so... pretty standard and about what I'd expect.

So far The God of High School has been fun to read and I'm inclined to read more.

I watched the anime and it was phenomenal so I had to read this. And its also phenomenal. It was so fun and extreme, everything about it just felt like it wasn't just another new gen manga.

I watched the anime, enough said. Obviously imma read this next, and I had NO regrets! Excited to read more!

The dynamic and intense scenes filled with adrenaline-pumping action create an electrifying atmosphere that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Every moment is a thrilling rollercoaster ride, as characters engage in daring feats and pulse-pounding confrontations that leave a lasting impact.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an early copy of this! Webtoons made into graphic novels are always awesome. The God of High School has comedy, martial arts and mysteriously giant hands that endanger the world. Enjoy the fun romp of martial arts with people risking it all. Except one, that is only there for the vibes.

Politicians always seem to be up to something, but the real thing doesn't have a patch on Mujin Park of <i>God of High School</i>. Not only has he come up with a competition in which the strongest high schoolers in the world will fight each other (and be healed by nanotechnology), he's also come up with a weapon that will make nukes obsolete, and he's happy to break into the Pentagon to tell Totally-Not-Obama so. The weapon? A giant hand with a cross on its palm, giving "smack down" a whole new meaning.

As you might guess, this is a book that thrives on extremes. Everyone is ludicrously strong and in the contest for their own reasons, more than a few of them have something like daddy issues, and Mira is somehow both incredibly skilled and unbelievably clumsy, which doesn't entirely work as a combination. It's over the top all the time, making up new forms of "Northern" taekwondo, having delinquents fight in straight jackets, and just dialing absolutely everything up to eleven.

This is clearly an introduction to the characters and the story, and it does a good enough job of establishing both. The art, while appealingly colorful, isn't quite dynamic enough for a book that lives and dies on its action sequences, but the sarcastic fourth wall breaking helps to alleviate that. It's a pretty promising start, and that's much more than I could (and did) say for its anime adaptation.

The best fighters are invited to a competition where the winner gets any wish granted. I enjoyed all of the different fighting styles and am curious to learn more about the characters. One star off since there were times where I felt like I was missing something/events were skipped over. The plot was interesting and the art was well done, making this a really fun read. Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for the arc.

An underground fighting opportunity where the winner gets wish granted. Any wish. A variety of fighting styles beyond MMA. Threads of a story I hope the next volumes explore.
