The story is amazing, the art is amazing and all the characters are so quirky and likeable. It's a shame if this doesn't become an anime but it might be too explicit for some! You can tell that the author tries his best with the work because the amount of research he put into Korea is staggering. He researched cuisine, places, traditions...Just to make the manga more enjoyable to read. Ken, the main character, is an awesome character. Dumb, Happy-go-lucky but badass, he knows when it's time to get serious and when it does, he dishes out punishment like no other. It's not all serious though, it feels light hearted even though it is so "mature". This is due to the super-deformed art style that is used during more unserious moments. I laughed more than a few times while reading this and trust me; you will too. Sun-Ken Rock is one of the better mangas I have read and it's certainly worth your time!

Good manga just don't expect a good ending.  That is my only problem with the story the ending sucked some big D it feels like all the hype brought by all the arcs before was just gone due to that bullshit plot twist that had no backing in the story before it. Just feels like a big fuck you. all the character development was just thrown out the windows. Just makes me sad that such a good story leaves a bad taste on my mouth because of such terrible ending.

This manga is amazing for the majority of the series, then for some reason the author decides to shit on his work for no reason and add some abomination of an ending that is honestly making a strong case for worst ending to a series I've ever seen. I'm conflicted writing this review because so much of this series I've been following for the last 7ish years was really entertaining but maybe because he wanted to tie this series into his other work, or maybe he wanted to add some poorly thought out moral to the ending? but that ending wasn't just bad but actively frustrating because if he had done basically anything else to end the series it would've been fine, but he throws in some bullshit plot-twist with no backing in the story before it, and then doesn't even commit to his twist and undoes a major change in 3 chapters while shitting over the character development of over 90% of the series the entire time. Frankly I'm not sure if the author was tired of the series/actively disliked it and was trying to tank it or hired someone else to finish it or something, there is no excuse for that trash I just read.  The only redeemable feature of the series ending is it is so bad that every other trash ending to any other series won't seem so bad in comparison, after all this I'm hesitant to recommend what is so close to a great series because holy shit that was an impressively trash ending.
