Author: Fujita Kazuhiro

Type: Manga (Japanese)
Status: Ongoing
Description: Katou Narumi (19) suffers from Zonapha Syndrome, a rare ailment that stops his breathing unless he makes people laugh. He's been forced to abandon his training in Chinese kenpo and return to Japan, where he now works as a clown. The only problem: he's not very funny.

One day he meets Saiga Masaru (11), the recent inheritor of a huge fortune, who gives him the first laugh he's gotten all day. When he realizes Masaru is being pursued by assassins, he steps in to protect the boy, only to discover that instead of conventional weapons, the assassins wield huge, eerie puppets. They soon encounter the mysterious Shirogane (age unknown), who controls a puppet of her own, and claims she was sent from France by Masaru's late grandfather to protect him.

Their paths intertwine and diverge, splitting into two stories: Karakuri and Circus, puppets and performers, tears and laughter. The strange circus of living dolls that spreads Zonapha Syndrome, the human puppets known collectively as the Shirogane, and the puppeteers whose undying grudge set in motion both sides of this performance.

Well to be fair, they did take their sweet ass time to kill the damn automata while they're kneeling.

R.I.P. Faux Francine. Strongest member of Team Narumi.

Man, everyone's dropping like stone shattering flies.

wait a second. the most recent chapter doesn't seem to make any sense. i thought aqua vitae was supposed to be used to make them human, so they could understand francine? also, wasn't it supposed to remove the limits on their abilities, as it did in china? but now it's a poison? is it because it's the aqua vitae that had bai yin dissolved in it?

 

That's probably pure aqua vitae.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology!

Narumi turning cyborg. Hope he gets nipple lights.

Shirogane Ex: Karakuri Revolution.

This chapter makes remenber one more time how grateful Im to Funnuruba who is translating this manga, this manga is to epic.

Damn she's annoying.

Working for free is one thing but working to save yourself from murdering puppets should be a bigger motivator.

Hey Shirogane! Instead of talking maybe you should've killed the three strongest puppets when had the chance then blitz Francine.

The moment they tried all the low-tier puppets would had attacked them. There is no difference

Gonna miss ya granny.

I always get an RSS update for a new chapter but it takes quite a while to actually show up as readable! What a shame.

Wow, just wow, with just chapter 190 and 191, to me Lucille became the most amazing character of the whole story.

 

Marionettists/puppeteers are the ones that manipulate the dolls, and Lucille just did it masterfully in both body and mind.

My favorite chapters.

Lucille, the Xena of Karakuri Circus. Her courage will change the world.

Hooooooooooooooooly shit I was not expecting that.

 

Lucille you cold-ass ho.

Holy shit, Lucille.

So this is where Tite Kubo got that dumb idea of giving people 2 retinas in one eye, of all the things you could copy...


Well considering all the things he copied from Ushio and Tora, I guess he had to pace himself.

That was awesome

These suspenseful last pages are killing me.

 

Say what you want about Les Quatre Pionniers but they know how to have a good time.

Oh, Narumi. This is what happens when you don't eat a balanced breakfast.
