Come on, let’s go back to middle school and join class 3-E! It never gets boring there!

Plot

In class 3-E of the Kunugigaoka middle school there is a strange custom: the students, all of them, say good morning to their teacher by trying to place a bullet in his forehead. However, we are not talking about any teacher, but about a strange individual, half alien and half octopus, and able to move at the speed of mach-20.

It will be discovered that this “teacher” was responsible for the destruction of the moon, of which now only a segment remains, as well as the one who announced the end of the world in a year. But now he is just a professor in a normal school, on a somewhat unusual subject … ASSASSINATION!!!

Just like any other good immortals in Hollywood films who eventually feel lost and lonely as they watch everyone that mattered to them die, Fushi wandered around with a void inside him.

Plot

Fushi started as Orb and was initially known as It, who later on took multiple forms. Form after form, he started to have consciousness and feelings.

To Your Eternity is basically Fushi’s or if you prefer to call him It—I mean who does that? But whatever—journey to experience how it is to be human with the help of different people he meets along the way.

Oh! And for the cry babies out there, y’all better prepare your tissues because this is like AOT but has a somewhat more subtle approach of killing every character. Bruh, don’t even ask me about the death count.

 

Conclusion

As you can see, there are different kinds of overpowered characters. We have vampires (seriously, how many are there?), chefs, scientists, strategists, warriors and so on. Have you found your favorite one? Which manga will you choose as your next read? Take your time to decide! And remember to keep yourself warm and hydrated while reading!
