Battle Ground Workers

A satirical workplace comedy set on a literal battlefield, Battle Ground Workers ran for eight issues from 2020 to 2022 under Shogakukan. The series follows the absurd daily lives of a support crew tasked with the thankless logistics of a never-ending war—repairing mecha, cooking rations, and filing paperwork while the heroes get all the glory. With its deadpan humor and sharp critique of corporate culture, the series found a cult audience for turning the fantasy war genre into a relatable office grind.
