The God Of High School is a manhwa I have been reading for a long time, and I'm glad it's finally on MAL. Okay so summary, the story is about a "high schooler" named Mori-Jin who, along with people from all over the world are invited to this giant fighting competition to determine who is the strongest and earn the title, The God Of high school (G.O.H tournament). This series is definitely incredible, but with every series comes with a few issues. I will try to make this review as honest as possible and hope it helps you decide whether this is worth the 394 chapter read (still ongoing) or not.


Story: 8/10
Although some people may be taunted by the 300+ chapters, thinking that the pacing will be too slow, no worries, that's just shows you how much detail and development they put into each chapter. Each chapter is filled to the brim with important details, not a single waste of a chapter. They got their relaxing chapters from time to time, but only because the story is just so intense. It is a very complex storyline, but its still somehow keeping it linear. The only thing I have a problem is with the abrupt change of plot from arc to arc. It went from a high school tournament to the end of the world. The story get's really interesting for sure, but at this point, I found myself waiting weeks before starting to read the piled updates because of how drastic the changes were. It was like running to the other side of the continent and back. This happens for the 3-4 big arcs. The transition from arcs are just very forced to me. Overall it ends up fixing itself, but still bothers me.


Art 10/10
The chapters at the beginning already had a unique style of art going for it, but later on the art becomes incrdible. The details they put into each panel is amazing. It's very fluid and not rigid. The fight scenes can be paintings I would buy. It's that amazing. If I had to compare, it's equivalent to the praise people give to the Fate series fight scenes. Not to mention, since it's hugely based on martials art, they literally draw every part of the characters movement. I thought I was watching a animation moving. And not just the backgrounds and characters, but the characters emotions are really fleshed out because of the art. In turn, those raw emotions coming from just their expression pulls you in. Their is absoulutely nothing wrong with the art and nothing I would change.


character 9/10
Every character in The God Of High School are very memorable. They all had their own quirks and the character designs were very unique from one another. Especially the 3 main characters. They are very well developed and the manhwa shows you their growth all the way from day one. From their friendship to their own personal pasts, they learn and it actually sticks with them. Not just them, but you kind of just get personal with all the characters at a certain level. The characters are very complicated people and I sometimes think they are causing more drama for themselves then they need to, but that's how people are supposed to be anyways. The reason I wouldn't give it a 10/10 is because they sometimes drastically change a part of the character and get rid of all their "development" in one go. It makes for great plot twits, but sometimes it's just so random.


Enjoyment: 8/10
Well yeah! I enjoyed it! The comedy is good, and it makes the characters have more ways to bond than just fighting. Since this manwha is heavily based on fighting though, sometimes it can go on for chapters and waiting for an update was a pain haha. I'm also not one for drama, and it gets a lot more juicy the more you go, so I gave it an 8 for personal reasons, but if you're up for some of that in-depth drama AND action adventure, change this score as if I said it was a 10/10!


overall: 9/10
Overall thoughts, it's GOOD, and based a lot on the fighting and story. They don't got time for fillers haha. You could call some stories fillers, but I think of them as character development for future chapters. I highly reccommend giving this series a try.
