I don't read too much in the way of manga any more, but this is pretty interesting. I'm used to the protagonists having at least one or two redeeming qualities, but these folks are pretty reprehensible, which, for the most part, makes them more relatable. Just chewing through chapter 16 now, and the one thing that impresses me most is the artwork, which is phenomenal.

Must be pretty cathartic to have all of these essays on manga culture embedded in a story like this.

I dunno, Hideo is a creep, a weirdo and morally kind of a bad person but I think it'd be a little extreme to call him completely rehensible.

I mean he takes firearm laws very seriously. :colbert:

I assume it has something to do with this "grand master plan" with the infected, such as them heading south. Honestly I don't even know if I'd call them zombies anymore, because they are far more cognizant than your stereotypical shambler/runner now.

Zombies were originally very much conizant back when they were characterized as revenants. :colbert:

Yep, I hate it too. I agree that the transition in terminology is appropriate, but it makes me think of *chan and reddit, which only reinforces my dislike of the transition into a zombie story and all that entails..


You say that as if it weren't entirely intentional.

Can anyone summarize Boys on the Run because it seemed pretty eh from what I read compared to IAAH.

That side story was all kinds of messed up, and this world keeps getting stranger and stranger. Also, I'm glad the story's back on topic: Hideo being goofy in zombieland.

..I can't help but wonder..

Hideo's not exactly right in the head. Is this going to go Silent Hill?
