Probably one of my favorite volumes. The development of the romance to this critical point, and slow introduction to Tsukasa's true backstory. Its all so good.

Sigo sin entender porque llevan a misiones importantes a un protagonista que no tiene mucha utilidad. Pero bueno, algo de drama le tienen que poner a la historia 😂

Me gustó cómo avanzó este tomo, y apareció ese personaje que esperaba asique me voy contenta.

This was certainly unexpected.
It's hard to say much without spoiling.

Looking at the cover, it's hard to believe that the main characters are only 14 years old (and sometimes in the story as well, mostly in Ryuji's case).


Asago got a new prosthesis arm and it's been hurting a lot, which is because this arm is very delicate compared to the other ones, it is also very sensitive to the person's mental condition. We all know how mentally unstable Asago is, so of course it would hurt. The doctor told her to return for mental care if her arm starts to hurt, but her dad won't let her because he's saying it would embarrass the Kuriyagumi. What a lame careless father, caring more about reputation than his own daughter, it's because of him that she's acting this way. I'm starting to feel sorry for her, but only a little bit. Asago's friend is so sweet, offering to go to the hospital with her.

Then there is Asago's engagement (I still think that she's too young to act like a 30-year-old lady, at least Tsukasa acts more her age sometimes, (or at least close to it) they're 14). During the engagement, Tsukasa ends up leaving the engagement early because something happends, and no, it's not because of Asago, although thats part of it. Poor Tsukasa, she's trying to be strong even though it hurts so much, but I can tell that despite the engagement happening, Tsukasa will still (obviously and soon) end up with Ryuji.

Apparently there are curfews for minors in Japan, weird. I think I read about that in another manga/mangas before, but I don't remember exactly.

Most of this volume is about when they go to Tokaname Island. Someting big happens there, and it's mostly Asago's fault, and partly Tsukasa's because she ran away a few chapters earlier since she was scared. If only Asago admitted that she wasn't cut out to do the job as seisai, that she couldn't fight, and Tsukasa was way better than her (stupid pride), then none of this would have happened. I'm trying so hard not to reveal what happened, so I cant say much.

If this manga was written in the past few years or even this year, then I'd be really scared, because authors and some mangakas love making us suffer. Then I'd be like, "don't you dare do that to her!" I'd basically be yelling that at Ryuji and the mangaka, even though obviously they can't hear me.

Overall, I like this manga so far, it's funny, but also getting more serious, has great and quirky characters, has some kind of mystery, an interesting plot, and the characters are 3D (I feel what they feel), and it's different. This volume is better and a lot more interesting than the last few volumes, finally.

I was right in my last two reviews, something big is going on, although I don't know exactly what yet. I'm getting excited thinking about it.

*screams* Don't you dare!! Don't you even dare to that to me or her!!! I am trying so hard not to reveal a single thing. Oh forget it, I'm marking this for spoilers. Don't you even think of dying Ryuji! You can't do that to Tsuksa (totally can't spell you name). If Asago would have just stepped down or admitted that she couldn't fight. If she would have just taken the hint and realized that she couldn't do the job of seisai. If Tsuksa (still can't spell it) wouldn't have run away from her fears. I know she has a lot to look out for, but is Asago really that heartless. I don't believe that Asago would really go through with her threat after seeing time after time how much better Tsuksa (oh, just forget it) is at being a seisai. Whatever you do, just don't die on me Ryuji!

A futuristic, gender-bender hilarious manga that takes place in Tokyo II, that's about a 14 year-old girl called Tsukasa, who was raised as a boy due to the crime rate against women. Along with her 3 other brothers they get kicked out of their house because they don't have and money to pay rent.
As a result she seeks out her rich yakuza classmate Ryuji. As payment for the debt she owes him for helping them she is works it off as his bodyguard.
I was laughing every minute a great read for manga readers!

5/5 - it was amazing

This is the volume where Tokyo Crazy Paradise gets really, really good... and then just never slows down again. I look forward to this turning point during every reread and get literal chills during the fight scenes.

Asago needs to grow up, seems like her only good points are her gun skills but even that might be gone.
