Hi there MangaHelpers visitor! You've been working hard, I can tell! So why don't you treat yourself. With what? Well, I'm glad you asked. With one of the best manga volumes ever written.
Asano Inio's work is amazing. Reading it is like taking a dive into something so fulfilling, so touching, so so so Wonderful that you might even change your ENTIRE view on life. It's
that good.
Anything by Asano Inio is top-class high quality. I dare say that of seinen manga, there's hardly anyone greater! Well, in the whole slice-of-life genre that is ^^;. But enough of me fanboying over him, let me tell you about this amazing volume.
What A Wonderful World presents a series of short stories involving people of various social standings. For instance, you have your girl dealing with growing up and entering society like a normal person. Or you have your typical school girl dealing with the "popular" evil-girl stereotypes. And you even have the criminals that like to wear bear masks and kidnap kids to do their shopping and many other different stories!!
*cough* OK maybe my description isn't the best, but if you're at the store, buy it on a whim. It's a great manga and I'm sure you'll enjoy it and anything else by Asano Inio :). If you don't then... well >.> go read
Oyasumi (Goodnight) Punpun >.>... :p
If you want some more opinions on the book, here's what I've been able to find:

(ps laika, changed the links around :3)
Asano Inio is a good storyteller, but based on the one thing I read from him (Solanin), his art could use some work.
Mizukami's art is by no means perfect either, but the female characters in his work are both more well-developed (as characters) and easier on the eyes.
/me is a Punpun fan
P.S. How was Mizukami Satoshi relevant to this news again?
anyways it is a great story tought so i guess there is no other option but to buyu from viz XD
