Ratings1
Average rating3.5
After surviving a terrorist incident as a child, Shingo Shimazaki was forced to join the League for Economic Liberations' revolutionary army. Now, thirty years later, he's back in Japan and trying to assimilate to a normal life. His Japanese may be awkward, and his grasp of ordinary tasks a little weak, but he has all the combat and surveillance training of a green beret. There are many kindhearted souls who want to help him-and a few not so kind ones who will do anything to stop him.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
This one is quite an interesting mix. I never thought I would read a slice of life cozy thriller/secret agent story yet here we are.
The art style is really good and also quite original. It has that manga feel but at the same time it kind of feels like an american comic?
While the autor does somehow make it work, mixing very cozy slice of life foodie moments with some very good action sequences, I end up feeling kind of let down wanting for more on both sides? The action is very well done, great coreographing when there's fights, and doesn't shy away from showing blood, gore and violence when needed to show the violent nature of the LEL. At the same time Shimazaki seems like such a nice guy, who just wants peace and to make those who he cares for happy. I simultaneously want more fights and more cozy Shimazaki learning to adult after years of being trapped by the LEL.
