EN Ever since I read all of Shūzō Oshimi’s work available in the West, I’ve been searching for authors with a similar style — and I must say, Ryo Minenami is by far the closest I’ve found.

The frequent comparisons between this work and "Blood on the Tracks" are understandable, especially regarding the relationship between Reiji and his mother. However, unlike Oshimi’s story, the web of human relationships here is much more complex, with each one carrying its own distinct characteristics.

In this volume, the author continues to explore the impact of recent events on the various characters, with a particular focus on Chako.

PT Desde que li toda a obra de Shūzō Oshimi disponível no Ocidente, tenho procurado autores com um estilo semelhante — e devo dizer que Ryo Minenami é, sem dúvida, o mais próximo que encontrei até hoje.

As comparações recorrentes entre esta obra e "Blood on the Tracks" são compreensíveis, sobretudo na relação entre Reiji e a mãe. No entanto, ao contrário do título de Oshimi, aqui a teia de relações humanas é bem mais complexa, e cada uma delas carrega características muito próprias.

Neste volume, o autor continua a explorar os impactos dos acontecimentos recentes nas diferentes personagens, com especial destaque para Chako.

this manga is such a roller coaster

[Katharine · Rating 3 out of 5]

So the pace has slowed way back down and returned to the more grim and gloomy feeling of the first few volumes. It's gone from insane to depressing. Everyone has fallen into a pit of despair, with seemingly no hope of light at the end of the tunnel. Is the series going to end this way? Are none of them going to make it out of this cursed town? Are they all either going to die unhappy? This series is so depressing. Also, the teacher...god that aggravating teacher. I'm honestly now only reading to see if someone, anyone, gets to get out of this hellscape and be happy. Not holding out much hope, but good god, can just someone get an okay ending?!

I was suspicious when the teacher suddenly started acting "normal" and that she regretted her actions. I forgot to say previously, but I am glad at least ONE character said, "Hey you slept with a seventeen-year-old, that's really messed up.". I did start thinking that maybe, the teacher really was regretful for her insane actions and was trying to actually atone. But nope, she was faking normalcy. God dammit. I'm also not sure what's up with Gen. Why would he randomly try to kill his girlfriend, whom we never meet? So confused on that one.

"Me enferma ver lo vacío que estas, lo poco que parece importarte tu propia vida. Si alguien te dice que te tires, tu vas y lo haces, si alguien te dice que te fugues con él, lo haces. Por eso ahora estás así, perdido, mirando por todos y por nadie a la vez, siendo el ser más egoísta que he podido conocer."

Nuevo tomo de esta desesperante obra donde no priman las acciones alocadas ni los sentimientos desbordados, tal como pasó en el anterior, sino que es algo así como la calma antes de la tormenta. Se podría decir que es más estratégico, ya que cada personaje tiene un plan que ejecutarán muy en breves, y, por tanto, en este se han dedicado a planificarlo y dejarlo todo listo.

Listo para llevarse a Reiji a su terreno y evitar que este tome alguna decisión que a estas personas no les guste. Porque en el fondo, el protagonista de esta obra es un ser vacío, y el resto tienen demasiada personalidad y problemas, para dar y regalar.

WTF. There better not be a bunch of cop-out coincidence deaths. Besides the brother, everyone is so insane. Don’t they all know you can hold your breath or take too much medicine and end it? You don’t have to find a lover—who should make you happy—to die w/ at a specific place and time like a South Park goth.

All these parents wanting or letting their kids die as though it’s normal… why didn’t they just kill them(selves) years ago? Just when I was wondering if we’ll ever see or know about Nagi until the last issue…

La profesora turbina capitulo 10 mil jajajaja. Me gustó la vuelta que me dieron con el drama de Gen y bueno, Chako se humilla cada vez más, dios santo.
Ahora hay que ver qué pasa con ese final 👀

Si la gente féminine de cette ville arrêtait de prendre Reiji pour un sextoy ce serait déjà un bon début…
