Talking about manga... Goblin Slayer!

"Imagination is a weapon. Those who don't use it die first" - Goblin Slayer

Monthly released, currently 17 episodes translated. Based on the light novel with the same name.

Goblin Slayer is one of those stories with a lot of potential. I'll talk about how I got in love with this manga.

I'm the kind of person who loves brutal but realistic things. It's not like I don't enjoy love comedies, intellectual stories and the such, but, the ones I greatly enjoy are those who show you how the world can be merciless and apathetic. I like original things, stuff that are not as used as other stories. Then I came up with Goblin Slayer by simple coincidence.

The first time I started reading it seemed cute and I even felt somewhat relaxed.

But oh boy, I was wrong!

Goblin Slayer's story begins with a naive new adventure who has the role of a priest. She enters the guild of adventures in order to become one. She then gets an offer from a group of adventures to deal with a nest of goblins. Incapable of saying no, she accepts, feeling uneasy about it. The group goes to such nest filled with confidence. After all, goblins are the "weakest" enemies they could ever confront. It is well known that they have the tenacity of a beast, but the intelligence of a small child. To not spoil you, lets say that things don't go as they planned. Luckily, the Goblin Slayer comes to help.

If you like stories that are developed on a very realistic way, this manga is for you! The characters are good and have their own essence, the story is interesting, the action is amazing and there are several little details that make this story one of the best I've ever read.

I have to warn you though! This manga is rated +18, filled with several gore and mature scenes! If you are okay with this, please, give it a try and comment your opinion! At least, read 2 or 3 episodes, you won't regret it ^ↀᴥↀ^

This manga is a real gem! It has a good character design, story wise etc. perfect 10 for me. I always read this baby once it got uploaded in Mangapark. I also read a back story of the main character Goblin Slayer: Side Story Year One Manga

It was love at first sight with me ꈍ .̮ ꈍ I'm thinking of reading the light-novel too. The character designs and personalities are pretty interesting too. Something I really like about this manga is how none of the characters have names! (Only the MC's name is mentioned, which was Orcbolg if I remember correctly)

Every now and then I re-read it, and I get excited when a new episode is released ╭( ・ㅂ・)و

Yes that is correct, it is the MC's name. LN still I will not be reading it but I do hope that they will be giving an anime adaptation because the effects and skills should be seen. Plus this one needs more exposure!

YES, an anime version would be awesome! I would like to see how they animate such a great story. And behind the scene there's Square Enix! All Square Enix's animes have such a great animation, it would be awesome to watch such an story with a great animation and OST

True! Square Enix is doing their job recently I also encountered a manga created by them a month a ago Final Fantasy Lost Stranger another Isekai themed manga and yeah it is really good too.

I'm gonna mark it right now for later! ^ↀᴥↀ^

Sounds like a manga version of Grimgar because of the more realistic story, much more violent though.

Yeah! I kinda like these kind of things. Although Grimgar shows the fear and struggles of the characters, the goblin slayer starts being a pro on killing goblins, so instead of showing his fear, they show his expertise and experience, which adds flavor to the story :D
