Bokko was a fun reading experience. While the story itself is average—featuring a protagonist capable of everything helping a minority take on a bigger threat—the manga stands out for its simplicity. It tells the story of a historical timeline with complex shapes and rules in an entertaining way, maintaining a surprisingly fast pace. The dialogue, reactions, and the overall vibe of a confused and naive community show great inspiration from old gems like Seven Samurai. ​However, I am still annoyed by the amount of incomprehensible actions taken by the characters throughout the story. For example, Kakuri randomly punching Nyan twice for no reason, and her smilingin response—I expected an explanation later, but it never came. Another inconsistency involves the Zhao soldiers: they target women and children, which I consider the most evil act in the manga, yet they are simultaneously depicted as brave, honored soldiers serving their general. We see them care for each other and grieve for their dead, which I find illogical.
​Overall, I am glad I read this manga. It was such a wonderful experience, and I hope other people give it a shot
