I always had the impression that shirou just wanted to draw porn but was a victim of his own success at writing

Alice in Borderland recently wrapped up and it's a good read for anyone who likes death games.

gently caress yeah, I love me some death games, and this even has a lot of translated chapters. edit: How is the end? I just noticed it's complete, but I'm always nervous that manga will have bad endings due to cancellation. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Mar 12, 2017 |

All in all it has its ups and downs, lots of moral pathos thrown around, but the Heart suite games are always interesting. The ending is nothing phenomenal, but it sticks the landing quite gracefully, and i think a big reason is because it's quite beautifully woven into the last and biggest Heart (psychological) game at the end. The author played to their strengths on that, definitely. It seemed like a natural culmination of all that transpired on the road to it, so i'm pretty confident it's not a cancellation ending. The protagonists motivations and hangups do sometimes take some weird and baffling turns, but he's supposed to be the psychological avatar out of the four suits, and psychology is really tough to nail properly, so i'll forgive that. It was a pretty good ride all in all. The last battle was real good, even if you can predict the course via meta knowledge. How much you can appreciate the ending is probably largely dependant on your own hangups in regards to storytelling, which is kinda funny regarding the overall theme of the story. edit: I also very much enjoyed the author taking the piss out of the long-standing "how do i make sense of this apocalyptic high-tech wasteland bloodsport setting????" question at the end.

I enjoyed the series overall but the protagonist was loving insufferable at times(because of that games I liked the most were the ones he wasn't in). And yeah I liked how they ended it.

Haha, I like how they try to give Agni a sympathetic backstory and motivation, despite the fact that he was totally cool with trying to rape the protagonist's friend/love interest prior to Hatter's death (so he couldn't use his hatred from Hatter's death as an excuse for that).

I wasted precious bandwidth on this shitpile too long after this shitpile formulaically became a formulaic, bastard kaigi-gantz shitpile. Now I need better seinen manga suggestions so I can batch rip something to wash away the bad taste while eating dollar menu and mooching free wifi.

Yeah, i let out an audible "No you can't do that" after they tried to justify the rapist dude who starts an indiscriminate witch hunt just to kill everyone because he feels bad about his mistakes. Then again, they kept Niragi around for a lot longer than i was comfortable with, too. gently caress that guy. All in all i liked the witch hunt the least of all the games, despite me saying earlier that the Heart suites were usually the best. (Second worst is probably the prison one.) Funnily enough, most of the side stories would make really good stand-alone chapters or oneshots. The majority/minority game and the poker one were really good. Also Heiya's, pictured above.

All in all i liked the witch hunt the least of all the games, despite me saying earlier that the Heart suites were usually the best. (Second worst is probably the prison one.) Yeah, some stuff can't really be justified. Pressing a button (or something similar) to kill people is hosed up but understandable if it were necessary to save your life (and even maybe if you were in great despair or something, since pressing a button is a simple action that someone might do as an impulse), but repeatedly chasing down a bunch of people pleading for their lives and gunning/cutting them down is not something sane people are capable of* regardless of whether their best buddy died. I especially liked the "was bullied as a child" and (even better) the "was a NEET" excuses for being homicidal maniacs. One thing I do kinda like about the series, though, is that they don't just have the MC do almost everything (like in most other death game manga). A bunch of random side characters take down the other suit cards, including a couple of the Kings. *Obviously there are exceptions for situations where someone lives in a society with constant propaganda telling you X people are subhuman, like in Nazi Germany or something, but that wasn't the case during the whole Witch Hunt situation. edit: One thing that is kind of disappointing is that I was hoping the MC's talented brother would show up in the Borderlands at some point.

RatHat posted:I thought the Witch Hunt solution was really obvious too. Yeah, though some of the other games have been pretty creative. I like the King of Diamonds game where the characters have to guess what 80% of their average number chosen by other players would be. It's an interesting game that requires you to predict your opponents' strategies. It's kind of dumb when death game manga have hardcore veterans who are supposedly super badass by virtue of surviving the games, despite the fact that a bunch of games are completely luck or mandate most people dying. Like, if naked guy (Kyuuma?) had encountered the Sheep and Wolves game he would have lost all his friends no matter how skilled they were or how good of a leader he is. I feel like death games are best when they minimize the luck factor, because luck-based games basically mean that no one would last very long before being unlucky enough to encounter and fail a luck-based game.

Look, ~mai fuurendou~ , I can't reach the JIS input on my burner PC, so listen and listen well. Gantz dude just sent the elderly protagonist of his side manga on a rocket set to collide with a meteor. President Trump says will collide with the Earth in no more than three days. I'd prefer to spend that precious time with the ones I love. That being said, Happy page 100 of Seinen thread!!! Omedetou! Is your family doing well?

The Alice in Borderlands talk(was a decent read btw thanks for whoever linked it) reminded me that another survival game comic existed in which people are trapped in a world that's essentially nothing but skyscrapers with bridges. The danger there comes from masks that rewire people's brains into murderous puppets. Does anyone know if that actually went anywhere or can be skipped entirely?

I'm not sure where you stopped, but they introduced other mask types and gradually built up a party around the main character. I fell off reading weekly releases right around the time they established a villain, but it had definitely developed past what was a pretty bare opening. I'd say it's about on par with Alice, though it's just the singular murdergame instead of a grab bag (which tends to make things more interesting).

I thought Gleipnir was kinda interesting for a bit but then it became bad, basically becoming pretty typical trashy seinen that's gore, nudity, and an MC who is utterly worthless and makes the wrong decisions over and over again to disastrous consequences. It's too bad because I kinda like the artist's style. Horikoshi (of BnHA fame) had one of his assistants go make a super-edgy seinen (pygmalion) with a more assertive MC but far dumber premise where some rear end in a top hat with magical powers or whatever makes everyone in mascot costumes at some mascot parade turn into monsters that eat, murder, and rape everything in sight for whatever reason. Notable scenes include a guy getting impaled to death by a boner. Talk about a turn in tone/style from what you were doing before, going from WSJ to edgelord seinen stuff. It's too bad because the guy's art style isn't too bad either- it's obvious he picked up a lot of Horikoshi's style.

Someone already mentioned the name, but I like how that one has a female protagonist and avoid some of the cliches associated with the genre (for example I find that "crazy and/or murderous dude who has a man crush on the protagonist" is a cliche for Death Games manga for some reason). edit: My main issue with it is that it doesn't have the actual "games" part of death games manga and is more just a survival thing.
