-- A sci-fi work that shines with intricate strategic battles and character growth!

Introduction

"I've heard of World Trigger, but it seems difficult..." "There are so many characters, I wonder if I'll be able to keep up...?"

If you are one of those people, then you should definitely read this! "World Trigger" is an intelligent and passionate battle manga that exquisitely combines strategy, growth drama, and detailed settings. In this article, we will explain the story, characters, terminology, and appeal of the manga in an easy-to-understand manner for those who are just starting to read it!

What is the story about? A brief introduction to the story

The story takes place in Mikado City, where a "gate" to another world suddenly opens and monsters called "Neighbors" attack. With humanity unable to fight back with Earth's weapons, a defense organization called "Border" is formed to fight them.

The three central characters are:

• Osamu Mikumo : A middle school student with a strong sense of justice. Although his Trion ability (a kind of magical power) is low, he is intelligent.

• Yuma Kuga : A boy from the Near World. He has overwhelming fighting power thanks to his father's memento, the "Black Trigger."

• Amatori Chika : A girl with a huge amount of Trion. She awakens as a sniper.

The story revolves around these three characters and follows their growth with friends and rivals, as well as their battles against other worlds.

An explanation of the terminology that beginners often get stuck on first!

▶ Trion

It's like an "energy" inside the body that is used to activate weapons (triggers).

▶ Trigger

Weapons used by Border members. There are a wide variety of weapons, including swords, guns, and shields, and they consume Trion to use.

▶ Bailout

If a character is fatally injured in battle, their trion body will break and they will be able to return to a safe location. Since they can't die, they can fight more daringly!

▶ Side Effects

Some people have special abilities, such as predicting the future, enhancing senses, and being able to tell if someone is lying.

If you have to recommend a character, it's this one!

● Jin Yuichi

A former S-rank member with the ability to predict the future. He is like an older brother to the main characters, and has a cool, easy-going personality.

● Hughes

A former enemy character from Aftokrator (a military nation in the Near World). Don't miss the exciting developments in which he later joins the team!

● Members of the Tamakoma branch

An elite team with unique trigger technology different from that of the headquarters. It is full of unique characters such as Kazama, Reiji, and Branch Chief Hayashi.

The fighting style is intelligent! Rank battles are exciting

Combat in World Trigger isn't just about punching each other. You can use all sorts of strategies to fight, including weapon compatibility, terrain, teamwork, and fakes.

Especially the B-ranked matches (team score battles) are the epitome of brainpower! You'll be surprised at how unexpected developments occur one after another, making you go, "So that's how it is!"
