Now, to dive into the best new-gen Shōnen manga, I must say that these are still ongoing and sound promising as of right now. Who knows what might happen later on?

However, once his father died, he set out on a revenge mission against the Hishaku, the organization responsible. 

He has a chilly appearance with limited facial expressions that conceal his feelings, but he is fundamentally warm-hearted.

Rudo arrives home one day after searching through a waste site only to find Regto dead.
