See, the real problem with Wolf Guy is that a bunch of people here really liked Akumetsu. "Oh cool", we thought, "a new series by the akumetsu guys!" So we had quite an active thread for it. It even had a promising start, with the wolf dude smugging all over the place. Then it started with the raping and most of us dropped the manga. From the people that somehow did not drop it, we learned that it never actually stopped with the rape and that was really what the manga was about all along. What's more, that artist/writer duo has other works as well. Wolf Guy wasn't the fluke; Akumetsu was. These dudes really, really like making mangas featuring sexual assault! tldr, a bunch of adtrw folks fooled themselves and each other into thinking that it was a good manga before being proven completely wrong. The funniest part is, Wolf Guy is actually a remake of an older bsdm porn manga and we still didn't catch on.

That Works posted:So Prison School then. Prison School is a well crafted absurdist comic focusing on pushing the boundaries for risque manga, Wolf Guy is literally, explicitly about straight faced rape and rape and school shootings and so on. There's no wink wink no nothing.

Does anyone have a link to the Wolf Guy thread because the idea of people trying to brush off the first rape only for them to keep on coming sounds like a disaster.

Akumetsu is pretty rad for the simple fact that the entire plot is an excuse to show a smuglord murdering the gently caress out of Evil Rich People It's basically Akame Ga Kill but with even less pretense e: I've never read Wolf Guy and I think I'm probably better off that way

They're doing the Ninja Slayer manga, which probably doesn't have rape; but NS is terrible.

LORD OF BUTT posted:Akumetsu is pretty rad for the simple fact that the entire plot is an excuse to show a smuglord murdering the gently caress out of Evil Rich People The problem with any justice fantasy that takes place in the real world is that they often have some really dumb ideas of what the cause of society's problems are, and the main character ends up look really stupid when he acts smug despite being kind of dumb himself. Because they take place in the real world, the reader can't help but think about the comic's politics. In many cases, like with Akumetsu, there seems to be this view that the problem stems solely from government corruption (and that if you eliminate a bunch of random corrupt people it'll somehow solve the problem). While it's true that corruption is part of the problem, acting like it's the whole problem in and of itself is really superficial and makes the comic as a whole look really dumb. Akame ga Kill doesn't have this problem because 1. it doesn't take place in the real world and 2. they're trying to flat out overthrow the existing government, which is actually reasonable under those circumstances. vvv I think so yeah, but the issue is that trying to address corruption wouldn't come close to actually fixing most of society's problems (and some degree of government corruption is sort of an inevitable result of our economic system). I guess it would help some, but it's basically treating the symptoms instead of the disease. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Feb 25, 2016 |

Wasn't the whole point of the plan in Akumetsu just to draw attention to the corruption to the point where it can't be ignored anymore?

If it doesn't solve the problem you haven't killed enough people yet.

It wasn't really a serious critique of political corruption. I mean, for one man to kill that many rich fuckers he had to actually be hundreds of men who could die repeatedly.

Someone on /a/ did that annoying thing where they translated/scanlated a later chapter of a series ahead of the current chapters so now the last chapter of Town Where Only I Am Missing is now out in the wild. On the other hand I guess these means once 41-43 get released they'll be done done and hopefully that will be ahead of the final anime episode.
