January 22, 2020I got attached to a manga series that has one volume release per year. Great. Lol
October 24, 2022
Ho amato questo volume dall’inizio alla fine. C’è un ritorno al worldbuilding, all’Abisso, alle creature che lo abitano e ai pericoli che lo caratterizzano. C’è anche il ritorno alla superficie, un piccolo sguardo su quello che sta accadendo lì, agli amici di Riko. Un momento che aspettavo da un pezzo.
[È una serie che mi sento di consigliare solo se non vi fa impressione la violenza “gratuita” e la sofferenza di personaggi umani e non che graficamente sono pucciosi e adorabili.]

The endless gore, unnecessary violence, and maiming is not doing anything for me. At this point, I don't care what the messages/themes are, I don't want to witness children seeing violence or experiencing it themselves. Such a shame, cuz the story and worldbuilding are truly awesome, but the obnoxious amount of violence is ruining it.

The world is getting more and more complicated. Comparing to previous volumes, vol. 6 wasn’t too bad in terms of uncomfortable panels.
But once again a reminder that I only continue reading the manga because my library has it, I wouldn’t have spent my money on it.

The tear-jerking tone of the last volume has taken a breather for awhile. In its place is unease, tempered for awhile with wonder and the thrill of exploration again, before giving way to an intense, creeping dread.
Our heroes discover that Bondrewd and his crew weren't the only settlement this deep into the Abyss, and the society they discover feels utterly and truly alien. That's not an easy thing to pull off. From the creatures that populate it, to the rules they abide by, to the strange, halting cadence of their speech, it all feels convincingly like a place where things with an inhuman mindset would live.
This Abyssal city isn't the only change of venue we get here. For the first time, we get a glimpse of the world beyond the island, and we finally touch base with the characters we left back in Orth. And...without giving too much away, there are some very dire implications at play here. Especially when you remember that time works differently on the surface than it does inside the Abyss.
After a couple volumes spent dealing with Bondrewd, it's good to get back to the world-building and exploration again. The Abyss, itself, is beginning to feel more like a character again, and looking at the last chapter or two of this volume with that in mind makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I can't say much more without spoiling something, so I'll leave off with saying that volume 6 hit all the right buttons for me.

Definitivamente tengo que ver el animé. Esta serie, con sus ilustraciones a acuarela hechas para ser en color pero presentadas en blanco y negro, es evidentemente confusa. Además no ayuda que el autor de muchas cosas por sentadas. No sé si piensa explicarlas más adelante o deberíamos de entenderlas ya, pero hay muchas cosas sobre algunos personajes, que nunca son explicadas con detalle pero que espera que las entiendas a la perfección.
Este tomo se siente como relleno, después de los tomos anteriores con el enfrentamiento contra Bondrewd (que yo esperaba dejaran para más tarde) la intensidad alcanzó tal nivel que evidentemente el ritmo tendría que cambiar.
Lo que más me gustó del tomo es el final, introducen un misterio con una enfermedad que mata a las personas el día de su cumpleaños. Esta historia es importante porque por primera vez desde que comenzamos la historia podemos ver a las personas que se quedaron en la superficie. También estuvo muy bien que manejaran esta historia como un misterio. Nos muestran una gran cantidad de esqueletos que encontraron rezando y de cierta manera lo vinculan con aquella misteriosa enfermedad. Si me gustaría que siguieran explorando esta línea en el siguiente tomo.
A los protagonistas, por su parte, ya no les falta mucho para llegar al final del abismo. Es obvio que tendremos algunas respuestas y nuevas preguntas, no creo que la serie termine tan pronto, pero si creo que no llegará a los veinte tomos.

Neuer Story Arc, der mich leider noch nicht gepackt hat. Majikajyas Design finde ich cool. Der Bodyhorror betraf hier eher die nichtmenschlichen Charaktere.

Reg was caught by Faputa who is the "Princess of the Narehate" of the Narehate Village Ilblu on 6th Layer of The Abyss. Does Faputa like Reg? lol

Va pintando bien, sigue el ambiente entre misterioso y tétrico en el descenso.
Llegan a la sexta capa
Primero les pasan cosas extrañas mientras duermen.
Luego llegan a la ciudad de los NAre-Hate, donde hay una excena triste-tétrica
Luego aparece un personaje, asi como Nanachi, que al parecer conoce a Reg. Misterioso

Riko, Reg, and Nanachi finally make it to the Sixth Layer. There something precious is stolen from them and they follow the thief's trail only to discover a village of Hollows. It doesn't take long for the strangeness of the village's denizens to go from weird-but-innocent to trapped-in-a-flesh-aquarium-freakout.
I would say this volume is a breather after the visual and visceral onslaught that was volume 5. However, it's only really sedate in its pacing. Otherwise this volume is Made in Abyss at its possibly most slimy, penetrating, and nobby. The village of the Hollows seems like what would have happened if Hieronymus Bosch and HR Giger teamed up in the afterworld to write a tv pitch for a Teletubbies-style kids show. It's truly nightmarish and yet oddly innocent. More than once I had to look away a few times before really taking in an image. While I appreciated its effectiveness, the amount Tsukushi seemed to revel in the biological grossness of his creations was...maybe a little much for me. Not to mention toilet-antics abound.
On the story-telling front this is a solid volume. It's an intriguing beginning to a new story arc. I also appreciated the introduction of narrative aside chapters that flesh out concurrent events. The mystery surrounding Reg is even further deepened. An awesome new character is introduced and you get a whole glimpse of a horrifyingly weird society. Ace stuff. Can't wait to get traumatized all over again when Volume 7 drops sometime in the fall!

So I actually read this volume last year and apparently forgot to write a review. This is basically where the second season of the anime starts. As opposed to the rest of the manga, this one is a bit weirder in that suddenly the reader is confronted by sentient creatures who have a life much like a normal village, except for the whole value thing. We are also introduced to Faputa, who becomes very important as time goes on.
All in all, I liked this volume. The art is amazing, as always, and the world building is quite extensive. Tsukushi is a master of world building, and each volume of the manga shows this. Things are also presented in some pretty stark manners, which I appreciate. The more and more I delve into the series, the more, as a writer, I admire what is happening in the story and world.
The Balancing that happens presents an interesting element into the story, and adds to the mystery of this village. These Hollows are not like the ones we've met thus far, and seem almost too 'people-like', so it creates a natural mystery to get the reader engaged.
We also see Reg and Nanachi head off on their own to explore, which leads to some sticky situations.
All in all, I really enjoyed this volume. I admit, the village threw me off at first. It felt like it was breaking the feel of the abyss from everything we had learned up to this point, but in the end it all gets explained in such a way as to work withing the established story/world.
HIghly recommend it.

The trio descend into the very weird 6th layer, which is filled with odd and dangerous creatures and Hollows. The Hollows have a very odd primitive manner of being which revolves around setting value to themselves and their interests as a form of currency. The entire introduction to these Hollows is very foreign and unsettling.
There's a weird sort of Princess Hollow named Faputa with a form similar to Nanachi's but she has 4 arms and apparently remembers Reg somehow.
We also get a glimpse of how the birthday curse is affecting everyone back in town and the orphanage. There's a "traveler" who looks oddly like Riko (Lyza?!) who is working with a medical ship caravan. That auntie lady said she'd known her 7 years ago is it Lyza somehow? Little Kiyuo was affected but the second they took him in the ship off the island his fever went away immediately.

Este tomo presenta la sexta capa del abismo, y es un bajón de ritmo total de la violencia y la desesperación del volumen anterior, algo que le viene bien a la historia para seguir construyendo el mundo del abismo y sus alrededores.
Me gustó el cambio de atmósfera, volver al aire de misterio, los nuevos personajes y las pistas mínimas sobre Reg y Mitty, su pasado y su futuro, y el significado de las palabras de Bondrewd sobre "los próximos 2000 años". Por otro lado, el autor como siempre tiene que meter algun detalle desagradable y en este caso es el "inodoro viviente" y sus implicaciones.
En resumen, es un buen tomo lleno de cosas nuevas y con las cosas desagradables que ya son habituales del autor.

Riko, Reg e Nanachi hanno raggiunto l'Altare del Confine e si apprestano ad attraversare il punto di non ritorno per il fondo dell'Abisso. Da qui in poi li attendono molti misteri e segreti che nessuna mappa dice. Per questo i ragazzi si dovranno adattare al nuovo mondo e alle sue regole, ma qualcuno è alla ricerca di Reg e forse è arrivato il momento di capire cosa/chi lui sia. Un volume che mi ha lasciata un po' perplessa, non so bene perché. E' bello perché ci fa vedere alcuni momenti della vita sul bordo dell'Abisso con alcune vecchie conoscenze di Riko, ma la parte dei nostri protagonisti è alquanto strana e mi ha lasciai un po' confusa. Spero che il successivo volume sia migliore e spieghi qualcosa in più.

De vuelta a la tranquilidad, este tomo a diferencia del quinto que estaba lleno de tonos obscuros y mistrios, aca esta lleno de claridad y revelaciones, este tomo se siente extraño al inicio, es como si leyeras un manga distinto pero con personajes conocidos, al inicio se siente algo desconectado pero conforme avanza poco a poco van encajando las piezas, ya que en esta capa se siente una dinamica totalmente distinta a las otras: el equilibrio, lo mas preciado y los anhelos es lo que describe a esta capa, Aca entra en escena la Princesa Narehate: Faputa...

Continues to be a great series even though this one was lacking some punch for me. The lore for this series seems bottomless. New characters continue to be introduced and new foods, monsters, locations. It's a feast for the eyes but I can't keep track of it all unless I go on a reading binge.
Of course at this point I've gotten used to the sexual and scatological references in the book for the main characters but it's hard to ignore that if they were removed the from the story not much would be changed or lost

J'adore toujours autant.
Ici, notre petit groupe partent pour le 6ème niveau, aussi appeler le dernier plongeon. On découvre Ilbru, un village d'ombres (comme Nanachi). Mais aussi Faputa, qui est liée à Légu. Peut-être va-t-il enfin retrouver une partie de sa mémoire !
C'est toujours sombre, glauque mais il y a toujours ce petit côté innocent.
J'ai beaucoup aimé aussi le début, l'histoire est assez touchante. Mais il se passe aussi des choses étranges à Orse. Je me demande comment tout ça va évoluer 😊

I found this one less emotionally devastating than the last two or three. I am not sure if I am relieved or disappointed by that as it is the emotional rollercoaster that keeps me coming back to this series. This one also has more of the storyline about those living at the surface. I know that there is that birthday death mystery going on but I am just less invested and therefore less interested in this storyline.

Few chapters and already it's the 'eternal fortune flowers' and deaths.
A theory:
Are the Eternal fortune flowers' real reason for the curse or isn't it odd that they use it as incense, they use it for the funeral, for the celebration. Also everyone loves that flower but that flower creates a perfect hideout for ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ insects which lays eggs on its prays brain while keeping it alive. Scary! That flower holds some mystery within itself for sure.

June 9, 2024A great story and manga, or would be if not for the fact that the author is a full p*d*ph*le. The manga features some disturbing and/or gross depictions of children right in your face from time to time (which, in case anyone wonders, do not add anything to the deeper meaning of the story and come literally out of nowhere). Do not read if not ready to scroll past such imagery, and please do not buy. A censored version is available on reddit.

I was naive and thought the story was gonna be more wrapped up by this point but it turns out the author is just taking some time off. I am so curious about so much! What’s going to happen?? So many questions. I just want to know how the abyss came to be, and I’m satisfied at least that now we know the people who first visited the golden city. But still, so much to be known. Such a wild ride

In diesem Manga passiert zwar nicht viel, aber was passiert, ist schon interessant. Außerdem gibt es ein paar Rückblicke und Eindrücke aus der Stadt am Abyss.
Not much happens in this manga, but what does happen is interesting. There are also a few flashbacks and impressions from the city on the Abyss.

Riko's team finally reach the sixth layer and... this volume focuses on showing some the dangers it has. It's still dark and brutal, but it's also a slower paced volume after all that happened on the previous one.
But that does not mean it's slow at all. We are still introduced to new concepts, there are new dangers and mysteries, and a lot is set up.
Another good volume.

While this volume more disturbing in its ideas than its visuals mostly, there's still a part that made me squirm. Majikayja's design is much more unsettling than in the anime. Faputa while still being a favorite character of mine doesn't have quite the violent, but cute energy she has in the anime, which knowing spoilers compliments her character well. The mystery just goes deeper and deeper.

About: The trio have entered the 6th layer
Review: This introduced a whole city, a new character, and a population of hollows. Riko's whistle was taken to be molded into its true form, whereas Reg tries to recover more of his memories. I felt so bad for the little creature Riko had with her. I'm glad it'll heal.

The story is interesting, the abyss is fascinating, the art is not at all a style I like but is incredibly well done and there is so much beautiful detail. There is a bit of oddly placed child nudity that makes me uncomfortable but it’s not so often so I just push past it.
October 14, 2024
Nice to get more of Reg's backstory, but there was a disappointing lack of Riko in this volume tbh. Pacing felt decent. There was a lack of action scenes, but I didn't mind, since sometimes the battles in this series become impossible to follow in this artstyle.

I NEED TO READ THE NEXT MANGA. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS.
