Our first series for this week's Saturday Morning Webtoons is Gurei's Grand Ma . The slice-of-life comic follows Minh, a young man working in a flower shop. Life is anything but ordinary for this florist since he can see both the living and the dead. The series centers around Minh's everyday interactions with beings in both worlds. He is joined by his otherworldly Grandmother and a fun cast of unordinary characters.
Grand Ma is a series that we feel everyone should read at least once. It isn't overly long, but Gurei manages to pack quite the punch in the 50 chapters. The story shifts from comedy to gut-punching you with emotion in the blink of an eye. We also love how colorful and unique all of the otherworldly spirits are within the story. We spent time in each chapter just looking at all of the incredible characters.
Grand Ma is complete. Readers can find it on the official WEBTOON page.

Our second WEBTOON series this week is Cutbu's 28th Century Superfan . Ji-eum Lee is a struggling author who just wants someone to buy her latest book when her number one Stan magically appears in her living room from the 28th century. Next thing you know, the two are on a bizarre roller-coaster adventure that may just lead to her best novel yet. Or will it all fall apart? Only the future knows and unfortunately Stan doesn't seem to be much help.
Sometimes, when we read a WEBTOON series, we don't want all the emotions, in-depth backstories, major character arcs, and suspense. Sometimes we just want a series that will have us laughing the whole way through. This is where 28th Century Superfan comes in. There is a plot, but that's not important. In fact, the entire plot is just Ji-eum trying to figure out what happens next on this wild ride. It's full of laughs and out-of-this-world antics, making it the perfect series when you don't want to think too hard.
28th Century Superfan is complete. Readers can find it on the official WEBTOON page.

Grandma Boards Plane for 'Dream' Trip—Tears at Flight Announcement Surprise
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video about an 87-year-old woman who finally made it to Hawaii—a trip she had long dreamed of taking with her late husband—surrounded by eight of her 16 grandchildren has captivated viewers on TikTok. The clip shared by Britney Lindgren (@hejmammabat) has racked up more than 6.4 million views since it was posted on July 26. Filmed on a July 17 flight from Phoenix, Arizona, to Honolulu, Hawaii, it shows a smiling grandmother receiving a special in-flight announcement from crew members as her family celebrates the journey. "Grandma has always been close to all of us since we were babies. She helped take care of us all through our lives," Lindgren, 39, who lives in the Midwest and works for a radiology organization, told Newsweek. "This was grandma's first time to Hawaii. It was always a place she dreamed of going. She told us to go there with someone you loved and had hoped to go with her husband. He passed suddenly in 1996 before they could go." A screenshot from a viral video showing the grandma on her "dream trip" to Hawaii. A screenshot from a viral video showing the grandma on her "dream trip" to Hawaii. @hejmammabat on TikTok The flight attendant's announcement in the video drew laughs and applause from passengers. "We wanted to give a quick shoutout from a very grateful group of grandkids in rows 35, 36 and 37. Today, they are flying with a true VIP—their grandma," the crew member said. From 2000 to 2024, the grandmother took each of her grandchildren on a one-on-one trip after they finished eighth grade—"yup, 16 middle schoolers, 16 adventures," the attendant said, adding: "We're still not sure how she did it, but somehow she made every single trip unforgettable … so, now, it's her turn." The announcement closed with a message of gratitude: "Thank you for your love, your courage and your endless curiosity, for being our biggest fan, our favorite travel buddy and the queen of making travel memories. We love you, grandma." Research shows that grandparent-grandchild relationships can have tangible benefits for health and well-being. A 2015 study in Child Indicators Research found that grandparents can influence outcomes such as children's nutrition, mental health, and survival rates. It also reported that a strong grandparent-grandchild bond can help offset "the negative effects of having an emotionally distant relationship with parents." A 2018 study in Ageing International found that older adults engaged in grandparenting often "tended to perceive meaning in their lives and to exhibit relatively low levels of stress and depressive mood." 'I'm Sobbing' The caption accompanying the viral post read: "Grandma always said 'go to Hawaii with someone you love' and although she meant that at first because she didn't want to take 14 year olds there—I think 8 of her 16 grandchildren taking her to Hawaii counts." The TikTok video drew emotional responses from viewers. "Ok sobbing. May this kind of generational love chase me down and kidnap me," one user, Caitlin, commented. Another, @wowagabrielle, wrote: "'Queen of making memories' I'm sobbing." Others marveled at the grandmother's dedication over the years. "16 grandchildren. 16 individual trips! What a woman!" wrote @angiebazikian. Lisa Collins posted: "Now THIS is the type of airline announcement that I'm paying full attention to. What a woman!! Enjoy." User @kayla commented: "I hope she had the best trip ever." Do you have a travel-related video or story to share? Let us know via life@ and your story could be featured on Newsweek.

‘Ninja Gaiden 4' Preview: Sliced, Diced And Ready For Action
Ninjas are dominating 2025, aren't they? We sliced and diced our way through Assassin's Creed Shadows back in March and before August is done, the Shinobi series is set to return with Art of Vengeance. However, later this year the granddaddy of all ninja games is being revived; I'm talking, of course, about Ninja Gaiden 4. It'll be 12 years since the last in Koei Tecmo's action series was released (naturally excluding July's 2D Ninja Gaiden Ragebound as that was made by The Game Kitchen and Dotemu) when it lands on October 21 2025. Longtime developer Team Ninja is also back with Ninja Gaiden 4 and its joined by Platinum Games this time around. It's a partnership that's working. I know that because I've already spent a couple of hours playing the game. Spoiler - it's exactly what you'd want from a contemporary entry in this franchise. My preview began on a cargo train that is hurtling through a tunnel. Series protagonist, Ryu Hayabusa, was only mentioned in passing during my playthrough. Instead, I took up the role of newcomer, Yakumo, a member of the Raven Clan who has been dispatched to infiltrate a secure unit and assassinate a prisoner. Things go awry and he's left unsure of who to trust. The initial chunk of the demo was spent re-learning the game's fundamentals. There's the typical mixture of light and heavy attacks which lead to ultra-violent combos and executions. Then there's Yakumo's supernatural ability to take on a more defensive stance which is slower than the standard action but it comes with the chance of dishing out higher levels of damage. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder All of this was played in Performance mode (which I chose above Quality) and there were no technical issues. The action is relentlessly fast and slick. There's a constant emphasis on forward momentum; you're thrust into bloody bouts consistently as you make your way through each zone. There are opportunities to slow down, however. After you meet a certain character, you're intermittently given the chance to enter a training arena where you can hone your skills. The combat feels deeper and more layered in Ninja Gaiden 4 and so I welcomed these moments to fiddle with the moves and abilities I wanted to use the most, thus defining my own sadistic fighting style. I also spent some time with Trials, an arcade-like mode that lets you replay parts of the story, taking on enemies and bosses to earn points (that'll help you climb a leaderboard) and in-game currency. Back to the story - eventually, that train bursts out of the tunnel and Yakumo is soaked in the light of a bright moon. This is where the preview really wowed me. Looming on the horizon above him is the remnants of a dystopian Tokyo that looks grimy and undeniably pretty in equal measure. Once given the chance to explore it, the visuals beam. Neon lights reflect off of the rain-drenched streets. Blood splatters across the screen as Yakumo flips around between enemies. From the first couple of hours, it's clear that Ninja Gaiden 4 is going to be a visual spectacle with stylish action, as expected. It also lives up to the immensely challenging nature of its predecessors, although the difficulty can be toned down a notch. It'll appease FromSoftware aficionados who are a glutton for punishing games. Meanwhile, those who feel alienated by the toughness of modern action titles like Elden Ring and Dark Souls will find their place in this series.

Gotta wear 'em all! Uniqlo launches new Pokémon TCG-themed clothing line
Uniqlo is no stranger to video game-themed clothing lineups, and its latest launch is no except. The latest products all hail from the Pokémon Trading Card Game and depict your favorite cards, attacks, and more. The designs are available as both tee shirts and sweatshirts (perfect for that upcoming fall weather), but fair warning: lineups like this tend to rotate quickly, so if you see something you have your eye on, don't wait too long to snatch it up. Fan-favorite designs like Pikachu, Omanyte, Gengar, and Snorlax are all available. Adult prices start at roughly $20 and go up to $40 for sweatshirts. Sizes range from extra small up to XXL, although some designs only extend to a large. The full range of shirts is available to browse on Uniqlo's website. Recommended Videos There's also a lineup for kids, too, if you want to make sure your whole family matches the look. All of the clothing items are unisex. The Pikachu design (shown above) is a particular favorite; not only does it have a miniaturized Pokédex entry for your favorite electric mouse, but it also has multiple different card designs shown within the silhouette. Uniqlo has featured Pokémon designs before, but this is the first time we've seen Pokémon TCG Pocket designs included in the mix. The popular mobile trading card game has dominated the charts since its launch late last year and features some of the most unique card art we've ever seen. Seriously, Pokémon: I would pay money for prints. Previously, Uniqlo has launched Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Final Fantasy, and Animal Crossing clothing lines. Most of those aren't available any longer, but you can still get your hands on its Studio Ghibli lineup if you're a Totoro fan. The Pokémon designs are available now, but it isn't clear how long they'll remain on sale.
