...and just when things were about to get interesting and they were going to shed some light on Mashiro's background.
<bleep> everything. -__-
Thank you for your service!
Sorry, guys. This series has now officially been licensed by Yenpress and should be removed from the site. I have since removed all chapters from my site and I suggest other locations to do the same.
Sorry I wasn't able to work on additional chapters before now. I just wasn't able given my work & life schedule. I may continue to post synopses and other interesting information as it relates to Yoko Taro on my site, so you know where to look for that.
Additionally, the TSND stage play was just released on DVD this past week, so I'm currently working on a little review about it. In terms of videography, it's *much* better than the YoRHa stage play, but it still suffers from the same annoying interlacing encoding. It seems to play better in VLC with deinterlacing turned on, however... but it's not perfect.
Six months and counting, and no new chapter.
Understood, we'll be waiting. Have fun at the concert!
Sorry, guys. I've been really busy and not able to work on chapters. Hopefully after the NieR concert & Gametakt (I'm singing in the chorus) I'll actually have my days off available again. Stay tuned to my site, though. I will post stuff there first when I manage to finish something.
To each their own, but I find these characters far more interesting than your usual bunch of world-saving heroes. Can't wait for the next chapters, I saw the raws up to chapter 23 and I'm really, REALLY hyped for what's to come.
Can't say I'm a fan of any of these characters. However it is somewhat fascinating to see just how far these horrible bastards will go to fuck each other over.
This manga is supposedly by the same guy who directed the Drakengard series and Nier so I don't really expect things to make sense until the mid to last act.
Still before going into this manga I had hoped it would resemble the latter rather than the former.
As morbidly fascinating Yoko Tarou's works tend to be, its much easier to follow his story when the characters we're following are at least sympathetic.
The manga has its own TVTropes page!
Okay honestly I wasn't sure about this manga and almost dropped it within the first few chapters, but I wanted to understand the manga before writing it off. Now I feel like I can give this manga a better critique.
This manga does have promise. The art is very good, especially with the violence, tension is well built in character interactions, and the definite Game of Thrones feel throughout the series. I also liked the MC Kuroi, who was a psychopath but one who you'd want on your side, (Not sure if this counts as spoilers considering this is known early in the story). These are the positive points I found in the manga.
What I found distracting was the constant exposition dumps in out of place moments within the story, the choppiness of character motivations, and the 'awful' adults vs 'poor' children theme, especially when some of the children are far from innocent or even likeable themselves.
Again, there's a very interesting story here and overall I do feel it's worth keeping an eye on.
I'm getting a little behind with chapters because I've been really busy lately, but in the meantime, I just finished my recap of the KimiShini ZERO stage play that ran from December 21-25 which may interest you. You can read it here.
Characters who are evil for a reason often gather sympathy from the audience. With Tokiwa, we can be sure no one will ever mourn him when Mashiro turns him into shredded, stinking meat.
Speaking of Mashiro, while I'm guilty of enjoying her madness, I also wish for her to be happy, poor girl doesn't deserve this crap.
I wish they would show characters that are evil for a reason, because so far all the evil characters are simply evil for the sake of evil, you don't really know what is going inside their head. :/
Btw what's the point of making a prequel consisting of characters that are either dead (usuki) or injured and mentally unstable (botan)? So you can't really expand their characters or delve into their personality.
Just to let people know what's going on with this series, after Chapter 20, it entered into a hiatus for several months but will be back with Chapter 21 on November 25. I am one chapter behind and hope to get to that as soon as I am able. My computer recently died and I needed to scrounge around for the money to get it repaired or get a new one, so I will try to get back on track as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the series will be going to the stage later at the end of December. The story is a prequel to the manga series which depicts junior high students as they are being recruited for the Special Abilities school. There are only four returning characters from the manga: Usuki, Mizukaki, Botan, and Sumi. The rest are unknowns. One point of interest is that there is one actress that is returning from the YoRHa stage play, Endo Ruka. She played the lead role of YoRHa No2... I find this extremely fascinating whether this has any deeper meaning or not.
For any additional information regarding the manga or anything else Yoko Taro related, please refer to my website. Thanks!
i just read the whole thing, and some things remind me of things.
like this one;
remind me of Limitless movie
and this one
remind me of this particular scene from Monster;
Only that I'm speaking of chapter 19 where by that point they should assume he is someone they shouldn't trust on, considering he just turned into a monster one of the military guys (and I think it should be clear by my use of the word again).
And regarding the other commenter, could you please by more pedantic? (and I more hipocrite, considering I did a similar response just a line above) This was a change of course as it seemed things would settle in but instead we get a new source of tension when the guy just threatens to blow the brains out of dumbgirl#2. Nevermind that no one with a modicum of intelligence wouldn't think, wait, where's the guy in question? Or just knock him down. Nevermind that, assuming they are supersoldiers/attempts at supersoldiers (which, by the way, you yourself said it, though my opinion is that this asshats would be moped down the second an astartes said heyo!), they'd have dealt with him before he got to touch the girl (fuck, wasn't the power of the professor and/or the guy with a ridiculous metabolism to be a pseudo-radar? how come those two didn't see that coming?)
In all honesty, I hope this isn't a tie-in with NiER. Frankly that's the only good work of the author and it doesn't deserve to be sullied by the garbage he makes whenever he feels artsy/cinical/edgy.
cute naked men in non-BL manga (outside of Gintama)? wowow
EDIT: Wrong comment, sorry.
Here you go on creepy smile.
Chapter 14, page 14.
Not a spoiler since it was in a previous chapter, but they are in France to be his bodyguards.
Neither team knows that he is a bad guy until he pulls a gun out and takes a hostage.
Their only information is that he is good guy and someone to be protected so they don't question him when he approaches them.
I don't see this so much as a plot twist as it was the intention all along. The entire "special ability" school is a facade, cover to conduct live experiments in the cultivation of a "super soldier" human.
The motivation behind this, however, has not yet been revealed in the story, but I am still fully expecting a tie-in to the NieR franchise (especially with Automata), which the point about the entire abolishment of pain and human emotion/thought would make perfect sense. I've discussed this in plenty detail on my site.
Well, that was awkward.
Still, I appreciate that someone has the balls to show what some (I dare say a considerable number by now) of us Euro folks feel about immigrants, from mere unease to open hatred.
Okay, seriously? Feeling no pain doesn't mean you can ignore damage! And don't get me started on the fact that AGAIN the creepo smiley somehow was totally ignored until pointblank distance, by everyone. Plotwists happen here becuase the characters are retarded.
Kuroi's flashback made it pretty clear already - that is, that Mashiro is his everything exactly because she's the only person he's ever met that he can't read, a 'beacon of light' (read 'light' as 'nothing') in a 'sea of darkness' (read 'darkness' as everyone's nonverbal language that, as we know, Kuroi reads wether he likes it or not).
you should read akame ga kill.
