In the first volume of Shikii no Juunin we meet Chiaki Honda, a middle school boy who is a large rebel. He neglects his studies, smokes, and has dyed his hair bright green. One night, when he is at the arcade, he meets a girl called Nanako Kikuchi, who boldly bets him, her body for his watch.
I first found this as a suggested read on GoodReads after reading a large amount of manga. Rated just one star with one rating, I was a little hesitant to read this, but the description really ended up dragging me in to read at least the first volume of this manga.
The first thing I noticed about Shikii no Juunin is the artwork. It’s quite crude, and looks rushed, as though Takako Shimura was rushed and didn’t have time to finish it. It looks as though they didn’t have a final finisher, someone to smooth over the lines and finish it up to look neat before publication, and it’s a bit of a shame. The artwork could have looked a lot better than it was and I feel if it had been neater, it would have been a little easier to get into.
The first chapter felt a little rushed. There wasn’t much information on what was going on, and things were hard to understand what was going on. However, it starts slowing down a little bit and things start becoming more clear as the manga goes on, and it slowly starts getting better. Things start becoming more clear, and the story starts moving on at a much more slower pace, and its much more easier to understand what is happening within the story.
This is still a pretty generic manga. A bad boy with a depressing past, a twist with his teacher, drama going on in school; but I enjoyed this one. There’s something about it that’s just slightly more real to life than some mangas are now a days. There wasn’t a part of this that I found boring in any way, and my attention was kept through the whole thing. I’m definitely interested in reading volume two after this. There isn’t an obvious route that it’s going to take which catches my eye. It’s not the best manga out there, but it definitely isn’t as bad as it’s been made out to be.
