Doesn't he actually work for the Black Forest Clan, though? I remember him sniping Shiho on Kaiser's orders at the end of The Breaker. I wouldn't be surprised if he just lets him waltz on past.

I only read the first chapter but I'm already sucked in. It's about a guy who has this ability where real life and rpg elements are mixed into his daily life.

Okay I just read the second chapter and then it got kind of shouneny - I guess it might still be a decent read.

I read through all six chapters, and while it does get more shounen-y, it's also refreshingly measured and thorough in its analyzing of how MMO game design affects this guy's everyday life.

Nah, earlier in New Waves, Glasses was chatting with his boss about how it was a huge mistake for the government to work with Black Forest back during that end of The Breaker stuff. Glasses is totally planning something though, maybe gonna try and pit 9 Arts vs Shioon.

I did laugh when he figured out the training technique of "grinding" which consisted of hitting a tree with a baseball bat all day.

By complete coincidence I just found another manwha called Dice that has a surprisingly similar premise to The Gamer but takes it in a somewhat darker direction and may also end up turning out good.

Instead of just the main character having the ability to 'level up', anyone who is a player in the 'game' can do it - they're given 'quests' to do anonymously through their cellphones, which start off as doing innocent, simple things, but gradually becoming less and less reasonable or ethical in exchange for increasingly large numbers of 'dice'. When you do a task, you get a certain number of die, and you roll them to decide how much of some aspect of yourself will improve.

But, when these dice appear, they appear on the ground near you, and if someone else rolls them before you they become a player too and will start recieving 'quests'. At the beginning of the manga it's just one guy, then two, then three, but of course things go wrong and a large number of random kids at their high school get a die, and poo poo starts to really hit the fan. Essentially, offering a bunch of teenagers beauty, strength, smarts, or whatever they could possibly want improved about themselves, and all they have to do is beat someone up, or steal something or start a fire, or lie to someone - and then make them compete for the same tasks.

It's still pretty new but I could see this becoming interesting, too.

Kind of irrelevant, but what's up with Batoto playing music in the background nowadays?

E: oh apparently it's actually part of the comic itself? That's pretty interesting.

EE: oh wow, the music is actually really great. The only negative thing is that everyone is obviously going to have different reading speeds so the musical cues get kind of jumbled...

It looked like his crew only killed the mooks. They seem the type to be able to avoid civilian casualties by just being that drat good.

That fight was some distracting Hawkeye Initiative bullshit. If I wanted to beat off, I wouldn't be reading a fight manwha. Just make her look cool, I'm reading this to see cool fights.

Hopefully you guys will get somewhat caught up during the current hiatus; Season 1 is finished at 69 chapters, and the author's been on hiatus since April and set to return in October.

Btw, the craziness never stops and I really can't wait until this series returns in October.

This is sad. The 25th chapter of Special Martial Arts Extreme Hell Private High School was released in mid July, though EGScans has it listed as October for some reason maybe they didn't do the last couple of chapters back then? Months later and we haven't gotten any new chapters and the comic is now up to 70 chapters. I wish I could read Korean because it looks insane.

Aside from the fact that he can't tell people about his ability without sending them into giggling fits, it certainly seems incredibly overpowered compared the other abilities seen so far. Which I guess is pretty appropriate, considering the meteoric rise from "scrub" to "ultimate badass" your average RPG character pulls off.

Still, I wonder how it'll handle that he could potentially eclipse his friends lifelong training in a few weeks of hitting a tree with a bat and spending five minutes in the clans library.

The authors of Noblesse tend to have a pretty decent sense of gags like that I found. It's a pity they don't use it as much anymore, but it does stop it getting too old I guess.

I'm actually hoping for more of a traditional shounen-style "everyone pairs off and gets their own fight" sort of thing. I'm not usually hot on those, but I like the supporting cast here and I don't think they get enough screentime. :3:
