Destroy All Humans. They Can't Be Regenerated. (Japanese: すべての人類を破壊する。それらは再生できない。, Hepburn: Subete no Jinrui o Hakai suru. Sorera wa Saisei Dekinai.) is a Japanese manga series written by Katsura Ise and illustrated by Takuma Yokota.[1] It follows a pair of academic rivals in high school growing closer over games of Magic: The Gathering during the late 1990s. The series began serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine on November 26, 2018, with cooperation from Wizards of the Coast LLC.[2]

Synopsis

In 1998, Hajime Kanou is a junior high student and firm otaku enamored with the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering (colloquially referred to as "Magic"), playing games with his classmates every day during breaks. His loud group often catches the attention of Emi Sawatari, the top student of the school with impeccable social standing and perfect grades, who continually berates Hajime's group for bringing such games to school. Since middle school, Hajime has seen Emi as his self-proclaimed academic rival, although is frequently defeated. Their differences in attitudes and personality lead to them not getting along at first.

One day, Hajime pays a visit to a shop specialising in Magic and, to his surprise, finds Emi inside. He discovers that, not only does Emi play Magic, she is one of the most competent players in the store. This meeting ultimately leads to a change in their relationship with them becoming closer together as they get to know each other through their various Magic duels and related encounters.[1][3]
