Thought I would start a Latest Chapter Thread.


I often enjoy manga that focus on a certain profession. Its weird the manga is labeled as a Sports Genre.

Unlike some mangas this one tries to take down system in a intellectual way, rather then over come with physically. I enjoy these manga often more.

Whats better then that, but its about Con-Artists and the underworld, both unique subject.

This isn't the only manga like this out there, and defiantly not the only yakuza/underworld manga out there. The style is that funny straight faced wide shoulder manga characters. But, again still enjoyable.


----------------------------

I wonder who the Head boss that Gin talks about. I wonder if its a "Eden of the East" senario where

Ether way, awating next chapter. ^^

  • LocationSweden, unfortunately.
I agree, this has been a very enjoyable ride so far. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

The art is awkward even by Fukumoto standards, but what the heck... We all read his works for the drama and psychological analyses anyway, right?

The political events of chapter 59 are directly based on real life events.

 

Izawa is Ichiro Ozawa. Hanekawa is Tsutomu Hata (changing 羽田 to 羽川). The New Truth Party is the Japan Renewal Party. Said party breaking off the Liberal Democratic Party and then defeating them in the 1993 general election all actually happened.

 

This chapter is simply suggesting that Ginji secretly caused these events to happen. I actually find this developement more exiting than the gambles in this manga. Finally there's a real meaningful storyline.

Nice link from wiki. I read up on the history of JRP and NFP. I wonder if they will follow Izawa/Ozawa all the way into NFP ect. ty Fuyu

 

Almost feels like cheating/spoilers to read up on history.
