Being his first series, What a Wonderful World remains Asano's most representative and successful work to date.

Composed of vignettes from the daily lives of a group of people inhabiting an ordinary neighborhood somewhere in Tokyo, the series is actually a comment about modern life itself and how we can survive in it despite all its rigors.

Amusing, melancholic, funny, strange, thought-provoking - Asano effortlessly shifts from one mood to another, creating stories and characters that are profoundly human and thus always involving. It's a shame that not everyone will find the subjects the author describes equally appealing since some of them are distinctly Japanese. But overall, it's a great collection that any discerning manga reader should check out.

But facing him at every turn is endless adversity. Nothing is ever easy for him, but luckily, Toshi has the determination to beat it all. -Bakaupdates

Gyagu Manga Biyori is hyperactive, random, and nonsensical, revolving around various plots and characters throughout the series.

The story revolves around four main characters - regular old 10th graders, until they are chosen by a slip of Tatsuki's tongue to be the human masters of the ancient Four Gods! The four teens are chosen to battle and vanquish the servants of the Demon King, who has escaped from the celestial world to wreak havoc on Earth.
