Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin: Ryuhei Tamura
Publishing Date: June 2020-June 2021
I was bummed to find out that Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin was canceled, and the fifth and final volume will release in October. No matter how I feel about a Manga series, creating comics is tough. And it must be hard for a Mangaka to put their series to rest when it hasn't been entirely told.
I'm still starting off with this series, but there are 47 chapters total. So I'll enjoy it while I can, and there is A LOT to enjoy.
Boyle Samejima is a reckless, tough cop, who is willing to do anything to catch his perp. However, his antics get him removed from the Tokyo Police district and into a small police squad on an island.
Nothing is normal about this island though. The police force is currently providing protection for a little girl from a cult that reveres her as an oracle. Oh, and her adopted father is a humanoid Dolphin, who is also a part of the police force.
It's a hilarious and wacky ride right from the jump, There is so much to discover, from the little girl's mysterious powers to the oddities that occur on the island, and the banter between Dolphin Cop and Samejima. As I mentioned before, I'm still early in the series but I'm thoroughly enjoying the humor of this manga. And it's a shame the story has ended.
Chainsaw Man: Tatsuki Fujimoto
Publishing Date: 2018-2020
I can see why people like this Manga. Especially those inclined to edgier things. Some themes include gore, action, and the fact that the protagonist has an excellent design with chainsaws attached to his freaking head and arms.
There are things I like about it, but I can't say it's my cup of tea. I know, BLAPHAMOUS! I understand what people like about it, but it's just not for me.
The reason stems from mainly one reason. The protagonist. Many people enjoy watching an anti-hero, but I usually don't. I understand this character's backstory has shaped his behavior. His terrible life has turned him into someone just wanting to survive. Who needs and wants narrow down to getting food and wanting affection via mostly wanting to touch boobs and date his boss.
I haven't finished, and I do intend to. And I am more than willing to make a new post if my mind changes. If it turns out that I fall in love with this series. I'm more than happy to say I'm wrong.

So, I’m really liking this new Weekly Shounen Jump series, Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin. The series is about Boyle Samejima, a daredevil cop who plays by his own rules, who gets reassigned to an small island in the middle of nowhere because he’s a reckless jackass who keeps breaking laws on the job.
There, he’s assigned as a partner to an anthropomorphic dolphin named Orpheus and, together with Orpheus’s adopted 5-year old human daughter Chako, they’ll protect the island against ocean crime. Yes, ocean crime.
Also, the Orpheus’s full name is Orpheus F. Lipper.
That’s hilarious. I’m really loving the humour in this series.
The series is done by mangaka Ryūhei Tamura, the author of Beelzebub, and this series definitely has the same charms of his previous series of humour and action springing from a very unconventional premise.

REVIEW | "Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin" - Vol. 1 | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade
Very rarely have I found myself speechless after reading a manga. And yet, Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin — the latest series from Belezebub creator Ryuhei Tamura — has done exactly that. For the first time in a really long time, a new manga series has left me unable to conjure up the words needed to talk about it. There are many reasons why I feel like I can’t properly speak about Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin, with its premiere volume arriving like a jet ski on fire barreling through an obstacle course.
One of the first reasons why I feel like I can’t describe Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin is because any explanation of it would spoil the series’s biggest jokes. The series’s title may hint at what you’ll expect, but when you see it in action, you’ll experience reader whiplash! Looking at the cover, you might think it’s going to be a gritty cop tale in the spirit of Barakamon. But then you dive into Boyle Samejima’s story, and then you are greeted with the most batshit insane premise you’ll ever come across!
And yet, Tamura’s new manga manages to make the craziest of stories work. Its mixture of comedy, action, and sweetness results in a narrative that delivers some of the most purely unadulterated entertainment around. But a huge part of me feels like talking about what happens will ruin the surprises that this series constantly delivers. From Samejima’s mannerisms and his new partner Orpheus to the little girl Chako’s unique skills, every moment of this manga is just pure gold!
