My interest in this book continues to taper off as the creator seems to rely more on having a cool tone than actually having a worthwhile story. In many ways, I wish the book were inverted so the single chapter of flashback to elementary school in each volume was the main story, and the present time was restricted to a single chapter flash forward each volume. The protagonist's childish behavior is more reasonable when he actually is a child, and a kid dealing with bullies at least has some tension, unlike anything happening in the present day.
At least the flashback actually starts to have a more definite tie-in to the present day storyline, but I'm thinking it's too little too late at this point. I do have another volume to read tomorrow though, so we'll see how it goes.
Side note: I was pleasantly surprised when the translated script actually directly acknowledged the ongoing "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" South Park homage.
FOR REFERENCE:
Contents: Bone 25. Black Market -- Bone 26. Brained by the Hanged Man --Bone 27. The Catacombs of Memory-- Bone 28. A New Light -- Bone 29. Haunted Hunt -- Bone 30. Mount Tsurugi Day -- Bonus Bone: A scream splits through the silent darkness and shakes the gel surrounding it. A bug that bites the hand that feeds.

Happy to say this volume picked up a bit compared to the previous one, and therefore did a better job in keeping me engaged.
Still pretty much just campy gore, but at least the main plot has now a little bit more mettle to it, with some characters from the past making an unexpected comeback.
And, once again, really enjoying the bonus material. I mean, there's a lot in the actual volume that is already pure digression, but it tends to be the same kind of stuff, whereas the bonus parts are funnier bits of life in the Moja.
All in all, it seems like I will be continuing with the series.

The whole cultist angle is not especially deep, but exciting nonetheless. What DID happen to Hinata Boggo?

I really love this series. It has a dark humor I enjoy. The author must be a fan of South Park since Damemaru dies at least once in each volume. My favorite character besides Meatball Spaghetti is Shimada Death. I can't wait until volume 6 comes out! Recommended for those who love graphic novels that are dark, funny, wacky, and witty.

Oh my god, they killed Damemaru!
You bastards!

October 2023. Adored volume 5 of a body horror black comedy space adventure, once again no notes.
A perfect series to try for the spooky season!
I laughed out loud multiple times, and am just truly delighted by this series.
There’s the overarching plot of corrupt Mega-corporations and religious institutions, but there’s also stuff like characters panicking and killing customers when they have too many waiting for food and want to close up shop.
It’s silly, it’s gory, it’s unique. A messy delight I wish I had more volumes of to read! I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for volume 6 to make it to English so I can continue this disgusting adventure.

The art is just too darn good. The gritty nature of the world the story takes place in matches the brutality that shines through each image. Lines that took multiple strokes, razer sharp teeth on everything, and a disgusting setting...
This volume had a panel that really left nothing to the imagination on one of the lead female characters, which felt shocking. Could have done without it.
The plot is coming together nicely, too. Things make sense now, and there's still plenty of mysteries to be solved. I'm looking forward to the next one.

いつもめっちゃ面白い漫画！今回もう少し「ボスバトル」のプロットあったけど少しだけよかった。チームのいろんなランダムとコメディ冒険の方が好き、バトルとアクションより。次巻楽しみ！
As always I love these. Last time I thought they had made a misstep by focusing on a big ‘boss battle’ storyline, and this one did have a bit of that too. But they seem to have course-corrected back to the group of lovable screwups adventuring across the galaxy that made this comic so fun in the first place. Looking forward to the next volume!

This is one of those rare series that I read and no matter how long it takes me to get the book. I’m excited to read it. I don’t necessarily feel like pushing it off for another year or letting it just take up space on my shelf, I have to read it because I have to know what’s happening next and I’m very happy that I got it for free at Bookmans through my store credit. Even though I’ve of course would’ve preferred to get the book cheaper. It was totally worth it because it’s a phenomenal series.

Damemaru becoming the Dai Dark’s version of Kenny in Southpark is killing meeee. Also more Moja forms? Yes please and thank you. As always, loving this mini series, can’t wait until someone returns the last two books to my library haha.

Not much to add past my review for volume 4. A wacky yet entertaining series. I do have a couple reservations about Shimada's characterization though and worry that moments in this series begin to tip-toe into rather problematic storytelling elements.

I love you, Q. Hayashida.
