This is my 6th book by Manix Abrera,now the most famous komiks cartoonist in the Philippines. At 30, he has already published 10 books and all of them are bestsellers, very prominently displayed in big bookstores here. All of them have an average of 4 stars here in Goodreads.
I am a bit old for his stuff but I still find them funny. In fact, I am using his books to perk me up after consecutively reading depressing books. For example, this week, I finished the Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song that was about an American murderer who was executed by a firing squad in 1977. Then, right after that book, I also finished reading William Styron's Sophie's Choice that was equally depressing as it was about a Polish immigrant who had to flee her country because of the Holocaust. So, after these two extremely sad books, I felt I needed Manix Abrera to bring me back to saddle again on top of a happy horse. Tigidig-tigidig. Hiyah!
So far, I liked all the Kikomachine books by him that I read earlier:
(Book 1: 3 STARS),
(Book 2: 4 STARS),
(Book 3: 3 STARS),
(Book 4: 3 STARS). I was about to start reading Book 5, when a friend let me borrow her copy of Manix's silent book that won an award and was not part of the series:
and I also gave it 3 STARS. By the way, 3 stars in Goodreads means "I liked it!" (The exclamation point is from me because I love using exclamation points!!!)
So far, his book that I love most because it is the funniest for me is Book 2. After that book, there are no new characters so I thought Books 3 & 4 are not as funny. The silent book, "12" is considered a breakthrough, never done before in the Philippine komiks history, is not part of the series so the usual unnamed characters are not there. However, since I "jumped" from Book 4 to Book 8 (this book that I am reviewing), I saw new characters like Ang Mahiwagang Dwende (The Magic Dwarf), Alpha O (whose chant is I am Alpha, I am Omega) and Deus Ex-Machina. There are also themed series here and some of them are really funny, some do not make sense at all and some are with philosophical musings that is not really different from his earlier books. My favorite among the three named characters is Alpha O because he is strangely naive yet he can be deep without lifting a finger. There are other unnamed characters that I like but I would still go for the original ones like the guy with the spiked up 3 tufts of hair. However, my favorite part here is the one with the young male professor hiding inside a big box on Christmas Day. He is hiding from his inaanak (godchild)and the illustration is very funny because at first, what he can see is only the Cheshire cat-kind of smile of the godchild while hanging upside down from the top cover of the box. I found it very funny I was laughing out loud and my wife thought that I was going crazy (again)!!!
By the way, for my foreigner friends, to give you an idea of how his komiks strips look like, here is one with the new characters:
By the way, this is how the handsome Manix looks like at 30:
So, for the kababayans abroad, if you are sad and lonely there, order KikoMachine komiks through Amazon.com to drive your sadness away!
Go! Now na.

This one however, contains some of the original characters:
I cannot translate them to you but I can assure you that those are very funny.
By the way, this is how the handsome Manix looks like at 30:
So you see, this is my first time to write a review with many images. Manix really got me excited so I couldn't help Googling for images under his name. He is really the Golden Boy of Philippine Comics industry!
So, for the kababayans abroad, if you are sad and lonely there, order KikoMachine komiks through Amazon.com to drive your sadness away!
Go! Now na.

If you look at the publication details of this volume, it doesn't write its title "Golden Ratio", but the actual equation! Astig mehn. And it even has its own version of the Monty Hall problem, something which I discuss in my Stat 101 class! Manix, hardcore ka talaga tsong!

Hail Georgia Hail! Nakaiskor ng mga tips hehe
April 25, 2013
Mga nabasa ko na sa dyaryo yung mga nandito, kaya parang re-read na lang yung iba.
(maiintindihan lang ang sumusunod kapag nabasa niyo na itong komiks)
-Yung Parable about mother's love hindi ko naranasan yan sa recollection namin haha
-Natatawa ko dahil walang pangalan ang karakters kaya si 'kwan' na lang tawag sa kanya haha.
-Ang cool ni Alpha Omega, lakas maka-rhetorical question haha
-Meron nga sa mga kaibigan ko yung nasa 'Hassle sa kwentuhan'
-Ang tanong na pampalalim ng usapan: "Bakit?"
-Nakakatuwang ang simpleng vandalism ay nagbunga ng Bulutong Tubig Stories
-Nakakatawa rin ang sass at chorva ng Mahiwagang Duwende!!
-Ang Labo mo, tsong! or something haha
-Pag tumingin daw sa kaliwa may nire-recall, pagkanan nagsisinungaling. Ang alam ko pagtumitingin sa taas ang may nire-recall at pag tumingin sa baba gumagawa ng sasabihin.
-Mamang mahaba ang kuko sa Pinky, may nakikita nga akong mga ganito haha napaka observant talaga ni Manix ;)
-Nabuhay muli si Goody Pakyutsie! Ahgshihihi
-Super relate at super agree sa Hay Buhay series!! (pero sa laro ng mga bata hindi masyado, ang benta lang haha)
-Ok, tunay akong pinagpala dahil hindi ako nakarelate dun sa X haha
-Lady Bed Spacer
-Hinding hindi nawawala ang kwentuhan at inuman sa vacation
-Ang benta nung Senior Citizens' day sa sinehan haha
-Si Captain Literal kawawa naman, pero ang ganda ng ending hihi
-Ang daming topics: Deus ex Machina (galing lang), labahan, Critic na si Satan, global warming, Tarot site, ROTC, Hongkong, Emoticons, Pasko, Sandatahang hukbo ni Georgia, Pulitika, Sketching Session, kawirduhan, College life, Ospital, Paintball
-At tawang tawa ako kay Manix nung bata pa sya haha
Naisip ko, pano kung one time magsama sa isang strip ang mga karakters tulad kunwari ni Alpha Omega at Bertong Badtrip? O kaya ni Goody Pakyutsie at ni kwan, yung tusok tusok ang buhok? O all in one? Rakenrol! haha

Siguro dapat nang palitan ang category ng mga libro ni Manix sa mga bookstore mula sa 'Entertainment' o 'Humor' pa-'Philosophy' o 'Self-Help' pa nga. Ang dami kasing nakapaloob na retorika sa mga comics niya, 'di mo alam kung seseryosohin mo 'yong pagpapatawa niya, o matatawa ka sa pagiging seryoso ng akda o tatawanan mo 'yong sarili mo kasi hindi mo alam kung ano ang sagot. Ganyan! Ganyan ang mga gawa ni Manix! Pag-iisipin ka, o minsan tatamarin ka na ring mag-isip kasi nga sinampal na ni Manix 'yong sagot sa mukha mo. O sa utak mo, kung inabot ito ng sampal. Siguro kung ang mga comics ni Manix ay pwedeng kainin, 'di ka mauumay kasi utak mo ang nabubusog, hindi tiyan. Rak en Rol!

Kumpleto ko ang Kikomachine Komix at ang mga susunod pang Blg eh siguradong bibilhin ko.
Pakiramdam ko talaga isa akong living Kikomachine Komix character dahil sa sobrang nakakarelate ako sa mga strips, lalo na dun sa strips na tungkol sa blog. Sa ngayon itong Blg. 8 pinakapaborito ko at mas naenjoy ko sya kesa sa blg 6 at 7. :)) (OO na, diehard fan na at pangarap ko maimmortalized sa Kikomachine Komix, if ever possible XD)
Wala akong ibang masabi kundi ASTEEG! \m/

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!)

Manix Abrera has established himself as one the Philippine's original and talented cartoonists. The hilarious and often, the surreal take on life makes the his books a national bestseller. The 8th of his Kikomachine Komix Series, Manix now becomes daring in challenging the Pinoy philosophical nature not to mention the flaws and the hidden ideas left unspoken within our minds. Unusual quips and witty one-liners are sure to satisfy the craving of many readers to the twisted and often bizarre characteristics that makes one a Filipino. The characters, still unnamed, maintains their sharp tongue and their rib-tickling satirical humor on subjects such as college life, politics, existentialism, butandings (whale shark), the letter "K", the underworld and even God. Kikomachine Komix is just the right blend of coffee to relieve some of us off life's migraines. "Rak en Rol!" quality indeed.

Ayos! As usual, panalo na naman ang malulupit na hirit ni Manix Abrera. Sa ika-walong pagsasama-sama ng Kikomachine comic strips, makikilala ninyo ang mahiwagang duwende, si Alpha Omega, mababasa ang Bulutong Tubig Stories, at kung anu-ano pang mga tagpong mapapa-'rakenrol' ka na lang sa pagka-surreal.
Bawat comic strip compilation ng Kikomachine Komix, may bago. Bagong out of this world na characters, bagong style ng pagkakasulat ng pamagat (tulad ng Alibata writing noong ika-anim na compilation, at ngayong 8th book ay tila isang nakakabaliw na math equation na ikaluluwa ng iyong eyeballs at isusumpa mo sa eskwela) at kung anu-ano pa. Paanong estilo kaya ang gagawin ni Manix sa pamagat ng Kikomachine Komix 9? Hieroglyphics? Cuneiform? Wingdings Font? Abangan!

Sa sobrang nakakatawa, nakakamatay.
Manix Abrera with his group of characters' witty comebacks and way of thinking will make you think and laugh your ass off. Smart, witty, and absolutely funny. This is one of those read-and-laugh-your-ass-off books.
Personal: This is actually the first book of the Kikomachine Komiks I've read and I am super happy that I got my friend to lend me this book. I'm definitely looking forward to buying the other volumes. This kept me laughing to myself like a maniac. 5/5 on the entertainment aspect.

Ito iyon eh. Ito iyong nagpapatawa, nagpapaaliw at nagpapasaya sa akin. Unang beses ko pa lang siya nakita sa bookstore, nagustuhan ko na agad. Maybe because of the cover and the title. Nakaka-curious iyong cover niya. Although, gusto ko sanang palakihin nila kaunti iyonh font kasi kahit 20/20 vision ko, sumasakit mata ko eh, tsaka ano, parang kailangan ko pang imudmod mukha ko sa libro para mabasa.
Pero gustung-gusto ko siya. Pati iyong laman. Iyong illustrations. Si Alpha Omega. iyong teachers na mukha nasapian. ahhahahah! Gusto ko talaga. Promise. Nakakatuwa pa. ^_^

hahaahaha! Congrats Sir Manix! Thank you din po sa pag-sign ng copy ko!
Laugh trip talaga! Kahit text heavy siya, simple lang pero it still reaches out to you! Binigyang pag-asa ako ng librong to, FOR REAL! :)))

'Eto na yata ang pinakamagandang compilation ng mga gawa ni pareng Manix. Grabe sa sobrang ganda, kaka-umpisa ko palang, natapos ko hanggang mag-aalasingko ng umaga. Isang gabi lang beybeeeh! :P Umaapaw ang bwakanang *feels!* Pinaka-nag-enjoy ako sa 'Hay buhay series'... rakenrol!
June 10, 2013
Hindi lang naman puro patawa, may enlightenment din. Tipong mapapa-"oo nga 'no?" ka matapos mo mabasa. Pero, oo, nakakatawa pa rin.
June 18, 2012
'Pag bumili at nagbasa ka ng Kikomachine, guaranteed na matatawa ka.

Still as interesting and fun to read as all the 7 volumes that preceded it. Looking forward to Blg. 9 :)
September 25, 2012
This book is awesome :D

Might as well use this book to tickle myself since it causes same results when you read it. Manix never ceases to make me laugh. It literally brought me to tears.
October 8, 2012

Yeah. Alright! I Love Manix!

Very inspiring!!! Nakakapagpa bago ng pananaw sa buhay! Hahahahha!!

I always find kikomachine entertaining and funny! Again, Manix did a brilliant job! Way to go!
Read
June 21, 2017'Asteeg' ng Hay Buhay Series, it's so cool how Manix managed to get his readers to get to interact with the strips, like in Kikomachine #7, you get to choose what will happen next, with this one you get to shade the areas where you can relate. Pero feeling ko nadaya ako nung page 37 and 38, kasi same print, nakakabaliw, napunta ba sa parallel universe yung strips na para sa page 38? Ano-ano kaya talaga yung mga nandun? Bakit doble? Tinitingnan ko wala naman pagkakaiba. Ano yung dapat nabasa ko pero hindi ko nabasa kasi nga doble, tapos eto din sinasabi ko medyo paulit-ulit na kagaya ng page 37-38, (it left a hole in my heart, feeling incomplete).
