I think the webtoon series itself deserves to have print manhwa volumes and anime adaptations (just like the Noblesse Series). For those who's about to read this series here for the first time, just don't. Read it on TappyToon for FREE. You can also read Noblesse for FREE on Webtoon. Read there to get the best experience ever! Anyway, thanks to the awesome fan scans (they're awesome imo), this series got its official translations completed as well. Props to everyone who made it possible for global fans to enjoy this series. I've first seen the mangaka's work on Beautiful Legends and boy was I inspired by him (at that time, I didn't know it was his works). Anyway, now he has illustrated more series: (Tapas) The Archmage Returns After 4000 years The Worn and Torn Newbie (TappyToon) I’m the Max-Level Newbie Mookhyang: The Origin Okay, I think many would not compare this to Noblesse (I get it). This series is mainly about our MC and his journey - it never really shifted to other national hunters' fights, you know (I know it's sad that we don't get to see more fight scenes from them, like Naruto and Bleach would do, but this series is so ******* good, too). The art is stunning, the relationship between the MC and his shadows are also amazing (quite lonely and alien-ish, but that's how his character is and that's why we love this series). He was all alone from the beginning, and he fully embraced that. That's not to say he didn't have some good friends. Let's go back to the fight scenes for a bit. I think this is the kind of series that really uses all the webtoon experience we can get kind of series. It's like Bleach (but Bleach is better than Solo Leveling, can't deny it). You can't get the full experience from live adaptations - it's an authentic full manga-only heavy action experience. Naruto arts have very clear and precise fight scenes it's like very relatable - amazing work (both the manga and the anime). For this series, it's a bit hard to follow cause of the format, I guess. Like when you scroll down, sometimes the fight scenes shifted to different angles that you know you have to tilt your phone ahaha (BUT, that's okay, I loved it). I don't think I can give a full review without spoiling so I'll stop here. I hope they'll make an anime adaptation for this- like, just 1 OVA is enough (I mean, then, they can make a whole series out of it like they did with Noblesse muahahah).

While fighting a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on humans who display psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that he can save his family; but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy. Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits and, along with Rukia - who is slowly regaining her powers - it's Ichigo's job to protect the innocent from Hollows and help the spirits themselves find peace.
