I gave a chance to Jiangshi X, who is rising like foam in Manga Plus, and the truth is that his first chapter is very TOP
I personally feel that of all the anime that has had the biggest impact on the ‘shonen action’ demographic, “naruto“He’s been the one who’s had the most influence in recent projects. In the end, this team-based student base, high-energy protagonist and ‘dark’ rival/friend is something that the can be found by the shovel today. Precisely, I found in the manga of “Jiangshi X”, a promising new work that addresses many of these points, and also adds a twist to “Jujutsu Kaisen”.
Why I think you’ll like Jiangshi X if you’re a fan of Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen
Let it be clear that for now I have only read the first chapter of the manga of “Jiangshi X”, which is available in Manga Plus… although only with English translations. In any case, here is a series of points for which I recommend the manga over two others:
- To begin with, yes: the story begins with a team of three students who aspire to become, in this case, Daoshis.
- What is a Daoshi? Well, if I haven’t misunderstood, it’s kind of warrior monk. These monks fight using amulets that possess all kinds of elemental abilitiesas Naruto’s jutsus might well be, but they also have a technique of “inner alchemy” which is essentially classical Chakra/Ki.
- What do I think has more Jujutsu Kaisen than Naruto? Well, a couple of things:
- In primer lugar, que en Jiangshi X los Daoshis they fight with some kind of demons or possessed human beings.
- Secondly, Said enemies are categorized into different classeslike Jujutsu Kaisen’s curses, the higher the degree, the more dangerous the enemy.
- Where Naruto’s spirit also comes into play a bit is in father figurethat although there is a twist that I don’t want to give away, basically the shadow of the protagonist’s father is equivalent to that of Minato on Naruto.
- In general, if you give it a chance, you will see that it is really about a work with which one feels very familiar, but also in the first chapter already has very powerful moments of its main characters. Personally, I can’t wait to see if he continues to develop, because he seems to have potential.
The reason why I recommend “Jiangshi X” above all else is because This is just 1 of 2 new manga that recently made it into Manga Plus’ 40 most popular reads. (being the other Yumeochi: Dreaming about falling in love with you). Considering that today the platform has millions of users in the West, it seems to me that at least this shows that it has a first hook. Now all that’s left to do is wait and see if it continues to gain traction like the first few weeks.
