DEATHTOPIA Vol. 2

Deathtopia #2

by Yoshinobu Yamada

Because they look just like anyone else, it’s impossible to tell the superhuman "cheaters" from ordinary people… usually. Koh is the only person who can identify them, and for this unique ability, he’s placed under the 24-hour surveillance of Special Crimes Investigation Unit 6. While Koh and the ladies navigate their new living situation, a string of grisly murders shocks Tokyo and leads the group to a bar for those with unusual tastes… From the author of Cage of Eden comes this bewitching story of suspense and danger.

I like the mystery in this one. How Kou got his powers, his family, everything is still up in the air with the cop trio being like Charlie’s angels. Soon to be four it looks like. The remote access felt like help with an agenda. Looking forward to the next one.

After the setup of the world in the first volume now the team is hunting a Cheater with immense power, who is killing girls by ripping their faces. The tension goes to the top when Koh's sister is also kidnapped by the killer so now the team runs, against time to save Koh's sister and other girls. Loved the volume and looking forward to the next volumes so let's go ahead and Keep on Reading.

I have always loved comics, and I have I can. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and hope always to love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.

Ohhhhh snap!!!!! It’s getting real lol I was absolutely not expecting that part of the story to happen at all. If I wasn’t already hooked from book 1 I absolutely am now.

Good second volume. A little more was revealed. I like how the author is slowly unfolding the story. The artwork is still incredibly gorgeous and detailed.

I actually like the story line but the naked girls is too much!

[47Time · Rating 4 out of 5]

First page? Let's see the trio in swimsuits. Mmm, perfect! But, wait! There's more nakedness throughout the volume. Gratuitous? Sure. Still, it's welcome.

Kuh is being tested to understand his ability and is being trained to make him useful in the field. The question on everybody's lips is: since he is living with three hotties, will he get some?

Their next case targets a erial killer nicknamed Faces because he rips the skin off his victims' faces using his bare arms. Kuh joins the trio on this one. It gets personal when the killer kidnaps Kuh's sister Hinata. The group figures that the bad guys are purposefully targetting Kuh's family to draw him out and to then get rid of him.

The good guys get no credible means, but Koh believes that the head surgeon Yurie Sonoyama is the best suspect. He searches her house alone. She gets the drop on him, but the trio shows up to save the day and arrest Yurie. She escapes her cuffs and a shootout ensues. In the end, the girls are disarmed, but Kuh distracts Yurie until Yui cuts off one of her orms with a katana.

Kuh's family must be hidden by the witness protection program. Kokonoe reveals they aren't his biological family. He was adopted by former police officers. Their past is shrouded in mystery, protected by the state. The same is true for Kuh's real parents.

Then Yurie turns up dead. She was seen as a source of information regarding Kuh and soneone named Ud.

Koh's abilities to identify killers by sight has become a closely guarded secret, with Special Crimes Investigation Unit 6 (a group of highly attractive women) keeping him under surveillance. But a new killer is out and about, and the target is young, attractive women require the investigation team and Koh to flush the killer out of hiding. The story follows pretty standard fare exploitation tropes which is par on course for the series, but it isn't all that entertaining. The story is rather simple with a decent twist, but much of this volume is unnecessary glut that doesn't serve the actual mystery on hand. Furthermore, I can't say I know any more about any of the characters after this volume, which is a shame that characterization is not really prioritized here.

Damn it, this is literally trash, the MC’s story itself is the only thing that’s somewhat interesting and everything else is just garbage, WHY ARE THE MAIN 3 GIRLS UNDERAGE/JUST OF AGE!?!? WHY DO CREATORS MAKE THE BUSTY SECUAL CHARACTERS SO YOUNG IN MANGA/ANIME!?!? I HATE IT CAUSE I KNOW THEY’RE GONNA JUST KEEP ON BEING OVERSEXUALIZED!!!! Make females in stories older cause you know there’s people getting off to this shit.

really the gun smashing was really dumb

The author decided to take the big leap by the second volume instead of gradually getting the readers mind wondering he instead threw big questions through the volume.

Wasn’t good has this made the story overly complex to soon and made it less appealing to an inquisitive mind.

I can’t look past the corrosive premise

I enjoy a lot of horror manga but there is something to the basic idea of this that feels regressive and reactionary. That there are humans who are devolving and they are the ones responsible for violent crimes.
That for me is not fantastic but so close to an othering that exists in our world

[Roberto Flores · Rating 3 out of 5]

So this was fine to start, but . . .

Then it starts to fall apart. I read a lot of fantasy, I enjoy numerous anime. A certain amount of incredulity is to be ignored to appreciate a good story idea, this is getting a bit far afield.

[Mee Too · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again great story concept and awesome artwork, however this style of delivery and packaging will never be my jam.
I wanna read more im just not sure i can deal with 8 volumes of pervy teen angst.
3.5 ⭐️

Good illustrative artwork, great storyline a mystery within a mystery, can’t wait to see how it all ends, there’s bound to be a twist at the end …

[Michael Zylberfuden · Rating 4 out of 5]

First vol wasn't a.l that special but its steadily getting better as far as plot development goes. Plot twists galore in this one!

[Hope Alden · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series continues to be fun and intriguing. Feels like a sexy Japanese Scooby doo 😂 I’m excited for the next!!

[Catelyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cawpile rating 7.42 the only thing keeping me here is the amazing plot and curiosity I have for the storyline. If that wasn’t so good I’d have thrown this in a tornado no cap
