Jaws meets attack on Titan
If someone were to tell you that there was a story out there that was a combination of aliens, water world , attack on titan and jaws, you would probably say "Whoa, why haven’t I heard of this series before!?". I had a similar reaction once I caught up to the latest chapters, I happened to stumble upon this series since I recently started using Toomics (a webtoons website/app).

The basic premise for the story is that the world has been submerged under water for many many years (similar to the water world movie) and remaining humans have to survive from leviathans (sea monsters) that live in the world's oceans now. Our main characters are Bota and his sister who must learn to survive in this harsh world and the story kicks off once they meet another central character , Kana who hunts down these leviathans. I’m not going to spoil anything past this.

This is quite an amazing read. The story is relatively simple but what its aims to convey it does extremely well. It has a very survival/Action feel with a hint of horror and fantasy due to the leviathans (think Jaws). The leviathans are very well drawn and can be truly creepy (they designs have a very berserk feeling to it), there are different species and each have they own unique capabilities. The action in this series is very well done and the how the humans fight the leviathans is quite creative. What stands out the most is the weight and the consequences of the story, it is a roller-coaster ride that will have you at the edge of your seat not knowing how scenarios are going to play out. My only criticism of the show would be Kana's design which is very fan service heavy (Which I have no issue with normally) however it doesn’t fit as she is the only character depicted like, it feels a bit out of place in this particular story.

Overall one of the better shows ive read in recent years. It currently has 98 chapters which I flew through in a day and it feels like its truly going to kick into high gear and get into the main focus of the story very soon. Anyway, I really hope people give this show a try , it is a diamond waiting to be unearthed. Right now very few people seem to have this show on their radar and I hope that changes soon.

A good post-apocalyptic story
(This review may contain spoilers and will be updated until the work finished)

Well, post-apocalyptic world is one of the topics I really enjoy reading and I find it super interesting in what the story of Leviathan is like, a world where everything was consumed by water and people's only chance to survive is on the surface in boats that serve as homes.

The interesting thing is that to survive the characters sometimes have to go to the part where civilization existed, I really enjoy this type of exploration in search of supplies and collect parts that can be used to build weapons or even improve the durability of boats.

The story presents us with three characters in which apparently we will follow this tense and frightening journey, but in the first chapters the protagonist's Father leaves us and not to mention that he didn't even have much time to be developed, I know that in stories like that, someone will eventually die in the beginning and that's what happened. Not that it's bad, but I think a lot of people end up not liking seeing a character where we barely had time to empathize with him. But we know that in post-apocalyptic works we don't have time to create a bond with any character.

There is also the factor of the characters having to collect rainwater as they are completely surrounded by salt water or do the desalination process and as everyone knows.

Thermal distillation, or evaporation, mimics the natural cycle of rain to promote desalination. By means of energy, which can be fossil or solar, sea water is heated and thus changes from a liquid to a gaseous state. I think it's so amazing to see this in games/books and movies and not to mention that the work really gives a feeling that we are the characters themselves.

The characters are one of the strongest points of the work, charismatic and interesting and I hope they continue to evolve with each passing chapter, Kana is already a character who will definitely be one of my favorites in the work.

Ah, the manhwa art is wonderful in many ways, each panel is very well detailed, the character design is also very well detailed and if you count in the "Sea Monsters" each one has a kind of look and one more bizarre than the another, experiencing a feeling of despair/distress and discomfort and not to mention that they have some reactions when they suffer some kind of eye damage.

The story has great potential to become one of my favorites and when it comes to the post-apocalyptic world, I get very excited to see where the story will go and I hope it keeps surprising me more and more.

If you like post-apocalyptic themed artworks I think maybe you should check out Leviathan.
