Record of Ragnarok, Vol. 1 by Shinya Umemura, Takumi Fukui

3.0

So, this is a pretty fun series — especially if you like stories that revolve around epic match-ups.

Essentially, this series is about matching exceptional humans against gods from the various world pantheons and seeing who comes out on tip. Winners take all. If the gods win, humanity will be destroyed. If humans win, humanity continues on.

This is a solid 3.5 series for me. The plot is fairly simplistic but I like how the plot is unraveling so far. We’ve got cunning Valkyries pulling strings to assist human warriors in the background which gives this story a welcome dash of intrigue. Additionally, the art is definitely sick. I like the character designs and the depth in each setting.

I’d be interested in reading more~
