Bokurano: Ours, Vol. 6

ぼくらの [Bokurano] #6

by Mohiro Kitoh

Saving the world is no child’s play in this dark and chilling mecha manga series.

One summer, fifteen kids innocently wander into a nearby seaside cave. There they meet a strange man who invites them to play an exciting new video game. This game, he explains, pits one lone giant robot against a horde of alien invaders. To play the game, all they have to do is sign a simple contract. The game stops being fun when the kids find out the true purpose of their pact.

Now the children know the their opponents are human beings, just like them. Despite going into his battle with mixed feelings, Kirie finds one more chance to surprise his fellow pilots. Komo follows after him to what seems like an easy victory...until the enemy’s tentacles threaten to overwhelm her.

I thought it was a satisfying ending, it was nice to see what the families of all the past pilots were doing and how they felt. I maybe wish they had shown a little more of the last “fight”, but still a satisfying ending.

Another entry in the series marking what I consider to be the better half so far. It was another battle and at this point I would like to say that my favorite character is Koyemshi.

I'm not that into this anymore, but I'll finish it up.

Algunas explicaciones un tanto farragosas.

I've got to admit....I was bored. This one was soooooo boring to me. The only interesting things Kirie did was go after Hatagai, but then even that amounted to nothing. And then there were millions of pages of Tanaka going on and on and on and on about karma, talking in circles, saying the same thing. She even mentions how she's rambling!

Then his battle wasn't even shown.

We move on to Komo and then something happens that hasn't happened before so it gets exciting. But then Koyemshi goes on in detail about particles and cells and elements and I thought I was going to die. Now, don't get me wrong. I know this is a scifi book and I know there's people out there who really enjoy those details, but I'm not one of those people so I almost died.

But thankfully, that's over with now.

Wow, there is some seriously deep philosophical stuff in this volume.

Kirie begins to understand why they have to fight, and Komo nearly loses.
