I am now running out of what else to say about this series.
One morning though, I got a copy of one of our broadsheets here in the Philippines, The Philippine Daily Inquirer and saw that this comic strip is serialized there. I knew that all along but since I have not been buying newspapers anymore (I used to buy dailies before but since most news are in the internet; why bother?), it was my first time to see a strip of this KikoMachine Komix side-by-side with other popular comic strips. Maybe I am not a real comic strips fan or maybe that one particular strip was not really funny, I had a different feeling seeing KikoMachine characters on the same page with those of the characters by not only local but also foreign cartoon illustrators. Abrera can of course compete with world-class talents but I grew up looking at those other cartoon characters when I was a child like Popeye, Blondie, Mutt and Jeff, etc. Those characters were there and I ended up reliving my childhood days by remembering that those were parts of my crazy comics days.
Nothing really new in this Book 6 except some new characters like Venn Man whose loneliness and despair are disquieting and at the same time thought-provoking. I also noticed here the character that did not register in my psyche in the previous book, Goody Pakyutsie who as his name hints at, is somebody who is "too good to be true." I still like Bertong Badtrip especially because he is small, there is no space for his face to really change in the last frame where Abrera normally exaggerates the face of his character to elicit laughter from his readers. There is also a character like Mariang Kokak but I think she is so ugly and her only talent is to jump like a frog. I hope Abrera will not use that character anymore.
I always appreciate the thought-provoking strips with one of the characters uttering a popular saying then Abrera puts a twist to it. For example, there is the phrase that I use nowadays to my daughter who is currently adjusting to her college life. The saying is this: "If there's a will, there's a way." But Abrera's character responds to this saying something like there's a new one and it goes like this: "There's a will, where's the way?"
My favorite one is when one character quotes Hellen Keller with this: "No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or open a new heaven to the human spirit." Then silence. He added: "How pessimistic." The other blurted: "Ano bah? Ba't mo parating pinakukumplika ang buhay?" (Translation: What the eff? Why are you always complicating life?) If you could only see how angry that other guy is, you will be laughing out loud.
I think that's what makes Abrera tick for me. Those quotes prove that he is an artist with brain. Pa-deep kunwari but I think he is really deep.
I said in my opening that I was running out of what to say but still I managed to write a long review. Sorry for contradicting myself but when my brain starts grinding, my fingers keep on punching the keys. Of course, there will always be something to say about a good book like this.

Katulad ng ibang libro sa series na ito, halo halong isyu at kwento ang nakapaloob ditto tungkol sa ibat ibang bagay na nagaganap sa lipunan natin at sa mga taong nakapaloob dito pwedeng kwento mo ito kwento ko o kwento nila. Gayunpaman halos pareho lang din ito ng iba nyang libro yung concept at paksa umiikot lang din sa sampung libro sa serye na ito. May nakakatawa may corny pero binasa pa din natin kasi aminin man natin o hindi eh naenjoy natin ito.
Nagenjoy naman ako at sa buong serye na ito pangatlo pa lang ito sa mga nabasa ko. So far okay naman siya naenjoy ko eh. Kung sa usapin na kung uulitin ko ang basahin ito siguro oo pwede maaari kong basahin yung iba pang libro nito.

"Hate Satan ever more, LOVE GOD even Better." WINNER!!
Kung gusto mong tumawa at maging magaan ang buhay mo pero may DEEP, (oo promise DEEP!)Basahin mo ang Kikomachine ni Sir Manix. Wala lang, ewan ko ba basta praning lang diba?! Pero masaya, hindi ko maiwasan humagikgik, humagalpak habang hawak ko ang librong ito. May moment pa na puma-flashback lahat eh, oh may my estudyante days nakakamiss lang, at kung kaibigan ko si Spiky Boy malamang walang dull moment, patok kasi sa'kin ang korni as in super korni niyang jokes. At ang ka-emohan ni Afro Boy sarap bigwasan eh, pati si Bertong BADTRIP panalo pa rin sakin. :D

3 sana rating ko pero yung dulong parts nagsalba. Lalo na yung "Kitakits sa Dulo, anong gagawin mo?" Sobrang creative!

This volume may not be as funny as hell (but still very funny!) when compared with other Kikomachine Komix volumes, the interior art of book six is the most detailed one to date (Kikomachine is now at volume 12). Manix Abrera's already crazy huge creative mind has expanded even more, with his concepts and panel studies even (feeling intellectual, ooh!) more diverse and metaphysical. I mean, Venn Man and Ugatang Puso? That's epic gold mehn.

I’ve read all the Kikomachine collections, and as expected this one also caters to the humor of the UP Diliman crowd (including me) and/or teenage boys (I have two brothers, and I speak like them sometimes, so yeah, including me). Unfortunately, unlike the other collections, Manix’s latest takes longer to get to the funny as storylines are sidetracked by existential ruminations that are actually better fit for the silence of 12. And we must admit that some of the jokes are getting old. But it’s still laudable for the create-your-own-adventure series near the end, which I enjoyed a lot.

PATOK! corny nga pero hindi ko maiwasang humagikhik habang ako ay nagbabasa. ahahahahaha! :D
ASTEEEGGG~~~~ the best ang mga comiks na corny ni manix. ahahahah :p

Deeply funny ;) iykwim
I really loved the part where you can get to choose what will happen, but then it will all end the same way.

Pangalawa ’tong Kikomachine Komix na natápos ko. Lahat naman ata ng cover page ng mga libro e makakuha-atensiyon. Astig! Iyong pa-effect pa lang ni Venn Man sa cover, tápos samahan mo pa ng baybayin symbols!
As usual, masarap basá-basáhin. Nakakatuwa at pampakalma ng utak. Kahit na ang goal ng komiks ay magpatawa, thought-provoking din minsan ang ibang mga binibitawan na kataga tulad ng:
Ang paborito ko rito ay ang pagpapaliwanag kung paano nabuo ang heart symbol. Akalain mo ’yon, may malalim na dahilan pala sa likod ng simpleng ❤️ symbol.
Solid din ang Kitakits sa Dulo, strips ni Bertong Badtrip, si Goody Pakyutsie, at ang mga superhero na may -Man sa dulo!
Asteeg! Rak EN Rol!

[M]insan, ang mas simple e mas mahirap pa!
Pwede kang magreklamo dahil ang rosas ay may tinik; ngunit pwede kang magdiwang dahil ang tinik ay may rosas . . . Pwede akong magreklamo dahil ang mahal mabuhay . . . ngunit pwede akong magdiwang dahil sa buhay ko'y meron akong mahal!

BÜK REBYU BEYBË: KIKOMACHINE KOMIX
Nais ko’ng ilinaw ang isang pagkakamali sa nakaraang rebyu sa isang aklat ng serya na ‘to. (Di ko masyadong matanda-an pero sa aklat bilang pan-lima yata ko na isulat yun.) Ang nasabi ko’ng pagkakamali ay hinggil sa pagpalagay ko na “ang mga aklat ni Manix, ay hindi isang material para sa pilosopikal na paksa at para sa naghahanap ng naturang paksa ay walang anumang nilalaman ang naturang serya kundi mga kakornehan at katatawanan”. Sa pag-isip-isip ko, at nang matapos kung basahin ang lahat ng mga aklat sa seryan ito, isang pagkakamali iyun at para matugunan ko ang naturang pagkakamali ay napursige akong magsulat ng panibagong rebyu na panlahat at sa Filipino.
PAANO KO NASABING “PILOSOPIKAL” DIN ANG MGA KOMIX NI MANIX?
Bagamat “patawang” inilarawan ni Manix ang kanyang mga estorya, maraming “pilosopikal” na paksa ang napag-uusapan sa mga komik strips nito. At ang higit na kapansin-pansin nito ay ang ideolohiyang “eksistensyanlismo”. Marahil ay malakas ang empluwensya ng kanyang “unibersidad” rito- ang Pamantasan ng Pilipinas (Diliman).
Madami pang mga paksa na hinggil sa “Pilosopika”. May mga paksa tungkol sa pagiging simple at pagiging salimuot at kung anu-ano pa. May paksa tungkol sa magka-ibang kaisipan na ipinaubaya sa ‘yo ang pagpasya kung alin ang totoo.
ANO PARA SA AKIN ANG KIKOMACHINE KOMIX?
Ang Kikomachine Komix para sa akin ay isang serya na patok sa anumang gulang dahil napakalawak ng nasasaklaw na gulang ang mga nailarawan nito. Isa itong satire tungkol sa lipunan at lalong-lalo na sa buhay sa loob ng mga pamantasan. Dahil isa itong satire, patawa kung inilarawan ni Manix ang kanyang pagsasadula ngunit may patama pa rin sa paksang tinutukan- yung tipung matawa ka at sa bandang huli ay mapa-isip din. Halo-halo ang mga kwento nito.
May kwentung pag-ibig (Yay!), may kwentung pagkaka-ibigan (BFF!), may gore (yuck!), may katatakutan (Really? Ows? Multo ka ba talaga?), may adbentyur (Yahoo!), at iba’t-iba pang kawerdo at kakornehan (Ur soh baduy! Ewws!).
Ang Kikokomachine Komix para sa akin ay may aspetong Pilosopikal, Sosyal (Sosyal-soyalan, oh anu?), Pulitikal (Namumuleteka? Ganun?), minsan may Syensya din (Pasyensya na ha, pero uber ka na ha?), at higit sa Komikal (Nakakatawa to death.). Minsan, may mga bagay-bagay akong nalalaman dahil nabinggit dito (Wala ka pala eh!).
SINO ANG PINAKA-GUSTO KONG KARAKTER SA KIKOMACHINE KOMIX?
Si Betong Badtrip! (Gusto ng sapak!) Haha!
Ilan lang sa mga karakter sa Kikomachine Komix ang may pangalan- gaya nina Goody Pakyutsie at si Bertong Badtrip. Gusto ko ang karakter ni Bertong Badtrip. Isang line lang ngunit lakas ng tama! Minsan, gusto kung maging siya. Hehe. Gusto ko kasing turuan ng leksyon ang mga taong nangangailangan nito. (Baka ikaw turuan ko ng leksyon dyan!)

I have noticed Visprint published books with very nice covers (most of books I bought) but so happened to add them to my list of “The book that should be judged by its cover”. The truth is I am attracted to eye-catchy covers. It trigger your imagination and you wonder how nice the story you will soon to read. My first impression on this book is a mistake, I bought this because I like the cover and I want to read Pinoy book as well. Pagbukas ko ng libro, ay! Comics! Putek! I read some manga because of anime and I haven’t read any Pinoy comics (maybe during my childhood Pinoy comics have been declining its popularity or I am not just interested in it).
I think the author is a fan of Metal (and I like listening to this genre during High School so I can relate on the part that it was mentioned though it’s not the main idea), you can see it with how the characters’ look and their expressions. Reading this is a nostalgic of my high school life, how funny and simple, what tattooed in your mind is not the lectures your @#@$@ teachers been blurted out every day but the happy memories you had with your barkada or classmates. I laughed on some pages and frowned on corny part sometimes, on the last few pages, it reminds me of playing an otome game haha!
I would definitely buy another kikomachinekomiks. It’s worth it. Suportahan ang sariling atin :)

Sa sampung libro ni Manix, walo na ang nagagawan ko ng review. Ano pa bang dapat sabihin eh halos iisa lang naman ang nababanggit ko sa mga review? Ang lupit lang talaga ni Manix para alayan ang Pilipinas ng sampung libro niya. Mabubura kaya ang kamangmangan ng mga Pilipino 'pag nabasa nila lahat ng gawa ni Manix? Duda ko ro'n dahil baka imbes na mabura ang kamangmangan, baka mag-intensify pa kasi pa-deep nga 'tong si Manix.
Ang market ni Manix, sa aking pagmamagaling, ay mga yuppies, college students at 'yong mga nasa late 20s. Siguro may mangilan-ngilan ding 30 above at 18 below na nagbabasa. Sa totoo lang ay pang-matalino ang mga comics ni Manix dahil marami ritong reference na tanging mga maaalam na tao lang ang makaka-gets. Pero hindi naman ako nangdi-discriminate at nagku-kumpara ng readers. Mas worth it lang yata basahin ang mga comics ngayon kaysa sa ehem Wattpad stories.
Marami pa ring ang trato sa comics ay mababang uri ng literatura ngunit teka, basahin dapat nila ang comics nito upang marefresh naman sila sa sinasabi nilang literature. O magkaro'n ng break sa literary criticism (discrimination).

Kakapulutan ng Ara.... Kalokohan
Its like ummm.... Haha.
Pa-Deep talaga, Pero nakakatawa talaga.
Hardcore talaga tong Kiko. Haha. Sulit pa yung pag-bili kasi lahing may extra kang makukuha na pedeng gawing bookmark.
Favorite ko talaga yung 1 chapter a day sa bookstore, nakaka-tempt na subukan. Hahaha. Kaso baka hindi ko din matapos at mabili na ng iba. Hahaha. Epic!
Nakaka-entertain talaga yung mga 'alamat', ung mga strips na PILIT iniisplika ang mga bagay-bagay.
Wirdo nung choose your own adventure. Haha. Pero ang galing! Rak en Roll!
Gusto ko lang magamit yung natutunan ko:
Sa lahat ng haters ng kiko (kung meron man):
Ampanget mo langya ka! Hulog ka ng langit. Literal. Demonyo! Hahahaha.
Wuuuhhoouu!

Letse.
Without goodreads, perhaps I wouldn't be able to know the Tagalog translation of the Alibata characters used for its title on cover.
Inside jokes, stahp!
Now, this good friend of mine (who let me borrow Sorrowful, Sorrowful Mysteries!) let me keep his very copy of the Venn Man at iba pang Kalupitan ng Kapalaran, another comic compilation of Manix Abrera. A side thought though, even if I didn't take UPCAT, I can relate to the common University of the Philippines student's POV through Kikomachine Komix. Oh, that intricate illustration of isaw, let me have that!

Sa lahat ng Kikomachine Komix na nabasa ko ito ang PINAKA nakakatawa ! Hindi ko alam pero tawang tawa ako sa mga strips, dahil siguro sa mga linya o dahil siguro sa mga aksyon at expression ng mga karakter :DD Nakadagdag intriga pa yung sulat sa Cover nito na ALIBATA ang ginamit. Asteeg talaga si Sir Manix :)) Ang paborito kong linya dito ay yung "Hate Satan Even more, Love God even better!" sa pp. 42. Lakas makabawas ng stress nito :))

Potek. Ang korny! Nakakainis! Hahahaha!
Di ko alam kung maiksi lang ang Komix # 6, pero mabilis ko lang natapos.
Namention na naman pangalan ko, yay! (Yehes, feeler!) at and MBS! Ang cool! I can relate. Haha chos!
Di ko lang gets masyado yung Venn Man. Ang complicated. : |
Pero ayos yung isang story sa may dulo. Yung tipong choose what happens next. In fairness. Napagod ako magpalipat-lipat ng pages. Hahahaha!
Not bad to, as usual!

Existentialist. Deep humor. But I think the first few compilations are funnier/better than this. This one's more mature and serious.

Sa compilation na ito, mas na-appreciate ko yung range ng characters na meron sa Kikomachine Komix. Pati ang pageeksperimento ni Manix na ichange-up ung format or flow ng istorya ay mas nangibabaw. Siguro na rin, dahil matagal-tagal na since last ako nakabasa. Konklusyon ay, kahit ganu pa man ka-korni, benta pa din. Minsan, may sundot din ng mga pa-deep na patama, na sumasapol din. Mabuhay ka idol Manix!
