REVIEW: UnOrdinary (graphic novel, vol. 2) by uru-chan

UnOrdinary is essentially a high school superhero series with some mystery elements. I bought my copy of this volume new.

Review:

Arlo gets John to let down his guard just enough to reveal his true abilities...which are on a level even Arlo didn't suspect. As more and more people learn John's secret, he worries about what might happen when Seraphina finally learns that he isn't the Zero he's always pretended to be.

Meanwhile, whoever it is that's targeting people with superpowers seems to be getting bolder.

REVIEW: Unordinary (graphic novel, vol. 1) by uru-chan

Unordinary is an SFF graphic novel series originally published on Webtoon. I bought my copy of this volume new.

Review:

John is a Zero, the only person without superpowers at his school. He spends his days trying to avoid bullies, and his only friend is Sera, an extremely powerful girl who used to be at the top of the school's food chain but who, for some reason, completely quit caring about being the best at everything after an encounter with John. When John isn't able to avoid his bullies, Sera is usually able to step in and either help or deescalate things. Unfortunately, the two of them are separated when it's discovered that Sera has a copy of Unordinary, a banned book about a person with superpowers in a world of Zeroes who uses his superpowers to defend those weaker than him. 

Their separation puts a huge strain on John, who no longer has anyone around to watch his back. As he tries to deal with bullies determined to beat him to a pulp, cracks start to appear in his facade. What he doesn't realize is that one of his classmates, Arlo, has begun to suspect that he isn't who he says he is.
