comment |
The year is 1998, and second year middle school student Hajime Kanou is a Magic: The Gathering fanatic who spends his days playing his favorite trading card game with his pals and butting heads with Emi Sawatari, a model honor student who looks down on both his childish hobby and his inability to top her in academics. But one day while visiting a specialty card shop in the next town over, he catches his self-proclaimed rival mopping the floor with the shop's regulars in a game of Magic.Worried that the flawless reputation she built up for herself at school would be ruined, Emi is less than thrilled that her annoying rival has discovered her nerdy little secret. But all it takes is one match with Hajime to realize how much fun it can be to have someone her age to enjoy the game with. And so begins the story of how a card game turns a rivalry into a genuine friendship, and perhaps something more.Written by Katsura Ise and illustrated by Takuma Yokota, Destroy all humankind. They can't be regenerated. (すべての人類を破壊する。それらは再生できない。 Subete no Jinrui wo Hakai Suru. Sorera wa Saisei Dekinai.) is a coming of age manga based on a one-shot of the same name, which began serialization in Monthly Shōnen Ace in 2018.This romantic drama set at the end of the 20th century revolves around the famous trading card game Magic: The Gathering, featuring all the rules, cards, terminology, meta shifts, and epic card duels that were prevalent in the late 90's. Never played Magic before? Don't worry, everything is presented in a way that makes it simple for readers not familiar with the game to follow along and enjoy. |

comment |
Color-Coded Wizardry: The cards of Magic are divided into five different colors, each representing a different type of faction and mana. Most characters are associated with a deck corresponding to one or two of these colors but don't dress the part, except for Hajime since he thinks black is a badass, manly color. Both Hajime and Yakumo are mono-black players while Emi runs a mono-white deck. |

comment |
Friends Turned Romantic Rivals When Hajime's best friend Kurushima finds out that Hajime has been in contact with Emi, Kurushima declares to him that he broke up with his girlfriend and plans to declare his love for her. Hajime, who has started to develop feelings for Emi, doesn't stand for it, so the two have a Magic duel over the rights to ask her out. After losing their duel, it's revealed that Kurushima never broke up with his girlfriend and it was all just an excuse to have a friendly, heated match with Hajime. Emi and Yakumo quickly become friends after meeting at the tournament in Shibuya, but their friendship eventually turns into a rivalry when they both realize that they have feelings for Hajime. |

Once More, with Clarity!: The story opens with Hajime and Emi watching the sunset from a bridge while discussing the Nostradamus doomsday prophecy. Emi asks Hajime for a favor, but we don't find out what she asks for until the scene repeats itself in the next chapter. She asks Hajime to be with her when the world ends...as a joke. |

While Hajime thinks it would be better off if she just acts like herself, he understands her situation and helps hide her hobby from the rest of the cast. |

Shout-Out |
| | Destroy All Humankind. They Can't Be Regenerated. (Manga) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The title is a reference to "Destroy X, it can't be regenerated", a common ability description found on Magic: The Gathering cards where X can be anything from a creature, typing, artifact, enchantment, or any combination of the above. Several late 90's Japanese cultural references are referenced throughout the dialogue, including commercials, TV shows, and video games that were popular at the time. The most prominent one (aside from the countless nods to Magic cards) is Final Fantasy VII, as the game indirectly introduced Hajime and Kurushima to Magic and inspired them to pick the sorcerer names Cloud and Zack. |

Lady Looks Like a Dude: During their first encounter at the Shibuya tournament, Hajime mistakes Yakumo for a guy since her hat was covering part of her hair and face. He doesn't recognize her at all when he sees her on a school trip wearing a skirt and no hat, not even after going on to spend the entire day with her. He only catches on once Yakumo leaves and calls him by his nickname Cloud. |
