Is it really that time again? Oh crap, we have to pick a manga. Or two. We could probably go through the requests. But that would take some sort of effort.

We did find two, in spite of the effort it took. We hope you enjoy the discussion they’re sure to prompt.
Tim has Director Kim. Hey, that rhymes. It’s a webtoon where the titular Kim is a boring office manager. His wife is dead but he has a daughter that he conflicts with. She gets into trouble at school and he doesn’t stick up for her. She runs off and gets kidnapped but Kim thinks she’s dead. That’s when it’s revealed that Kim was a super-soldier and the one thing keeping him sane was taking care of his little girl. So now it’s time for revenge against any and every thug in South Korea. It gets a Borders.
Weltall has Kill Blue. Juzo is a middle aged man who’s also a top assassin. He runs a mission that brings him into contact with an oddball grenade. This is full of experimental gas which causes him to become young. Middle school age in fact. Lucky for him they have a mission to put him on while they try to work out a way to reverse the age reversal. He gets to guard the daughter of the head of his assassin organization. It gets a Borders.
