Ohhh this was SOO GOOD!!! Ugh I wish it wouldn’t have been cancelled!!! Such a HUGE twist in this volume and the ending was perfect. I thought it would’ve been hella rushed but nooo, the mangaka was able to tie it all together. Of course she did, NG Life and Yona of the Dawn are her other amazing stories. She knows what she’s doing…
I loved Memori and Yuuki’s friendship. Or more? I would’ve been all about that as well LOL. I loved their banter. I was able to fall in love with all the characters in just 2 volumes…
Even though this series was short and cancelled, I’d still recommend it. Especially if you like this mangaka! It’s still worth a read.

Dari action loncat ke roman. Komik pertama dan kedua feelnya beda. Tapi jalan cerita komik ini yang jadi penghubungnya. Saya tidak begitu tertarik dengan Asaka Miyuki, ibu kandungnya Memori. Mungkin karena keberadaannya digambarkan terlalu jelas di vol. 2 ini. Masalah Asaka Miyuki terlalu datar. Sesudah itu, di akhir cerita Asaka Miyuki hilang misterius. Tapi buat saya itu biasa.
Komikus Game Rush memang ahli membuat cerita beda genre. Masing-masing cerita memberi pengalaman berbeda untuk pembaca. Review ini jujur.

Starting as an action-comedy, but the real truth behind the mystery of the story is much darker than what I've thought.
Yuuki ternyata selama ini tinggal bersama ibu Memori sebagai... Memori! So sick! Tragedi yang menimpa ibu kandung Memori benar-benar menyedihkan. Tapi kenapa dia tak diselamatkan di akhir ya? Aku nggak lihat urgensi hidupnya harus berakhir dalam cerita ini.
Pada akhirnya Memori dan Yuuki malah berpisah dan hanya sempat berpapasan sekilas. Hiiiiks! Ga rela!

Game x Rush attempts to blend action and humor, but leans more towards a melancholic story. The core concept of a bodyguard and assassin locked in an unexpected bond is intriguing. However, the story feels rushed due to its limited two-volume format. The overall plot arc holds promise, but would have benefited from a more fleshed-out narrative.

Not a bad duology of volumes, but I wish we had skipped the bodyguard shtick in volume one and instead got into the meat of drama present in the second installment. It is a pretty weak series compared to Kusanagi’s other works, though.

This is clearly a weaker series, probably an earlier series, by Kusanagi. I have quite enjoyed her previous ones, whereas this was more meh.
The humor is rather exaggerated but funny, and a lot of the chapters are episodic with only hinting of something deeper. Until we finally get further in this volume, and we finally see what Yuuki has been hiding. And, honestly, it is really bad. It’s dark, and I feel terrible for him.
Having lived in such a terrible situation when he was a kid, and then finally finding the real child who should have been there. It’s bad, and I feel for him. But the reveal needed to happen, and I think it worked out understandably. The ending was fitting.
Overall, it was an okay series.

Dammit, I'd forgotten about this ending. Totally cuts off right in the midst of things without every answering questions about what's happening. I enjoy this series but it's too short by far. Needed an additional couple of volumes.
Hate that it is so open-ended but I still say it's worth reading.
