Note : 5 étoiles ⭐
Omg ! J'aime vraiment trop ce Webtoon. Il y a plein d'insectes différents, avec des complexes hyper intéressants.
J'aime trop Suchan ! Huijin est badass ! Évidemment j'aimerais que ces deux-là tombent amoureux l'un de l'autre... Ce chapitre n'est que de l'action et j'aime vraiment beaucoup beaucoup ! On en apprend un peu plus sur le passé de Huijin.
Les dessins sont vraiment incroyables !
Hâte de continuer !

I have yet to read an action/fantasy manhua that I don’t like. Jungle Juice isn’t my all time favorite, but I love the premise and characters. I love getting to know the characters. This is only the second volume but I’m hooked.

Hi-flying action. Love how in depth & well-thought out the power systems are. Hard to keep track of action tho sometimes.

Extrait :
Enfin la suite est là ! Même si je connais déjà l’histoire, je kiff tellement de redécouvrir la série sous format papier, que j’ai toujours hâte de relire la suite. Même si je suis assez heureuse de retrouver les personnages, je sais aussi que ce tome sera beaucoup plus dans le côté dramatique que comique. Comme dans toutes les séries, il faut des antagonistes, et ici, ils ne rigolent pas !
Comme c’est difficile de reparler de cette série, en essayant cette fois-ci, de se limiter aux contenus des tomes déjà lus. Comme je connais déjà la suite, je ne ferais pas d’hypothèses du coup… Une saison 2 est prévue, et j’ai tellement hâte de la découvrir ! J’ignore cependant si j’aurais la patience d’attendre sa sortie papier, ou si j’irais la lire sur Webtoon avant… L’intrigue du tome reprend avec un cours, le projet de groupe est là ! Celui-ci consiste à trouver du jungle juice, l’insecticide à l’origine de leurs mutations génétiques. Ce que les élèves ne savent pas, c’est que celui-ci est désormais quasi introuvable, ce qui rend difficile la conception du remède Cendrillon. Cette expérience avait donc pour but d’expliquer pourquoi il existe si peu de remède, et que celui-ci est offert au plus méritant.
Toutefois, ce qui devait être une simple mission, va devenir pour certains un vrai cauchemar. Evidemment, c’est sur Suchan, le protagoniste que ça va tomber, sinon ça ne serait pas drôle. Attirer avec Heejin dans un vieille entrepôt, ils tomberont nez à nez avec un autre homme insecte qui va essayer de les tuer. Inquiets pour Dohua et Hyeseong qui étaient là avant eux, ils se battront à fond tout en essayant de comprendre. Il s’agira au final d’une embuscade, d’un piège à leur égard. Leur ennemi est un humain ayant en partie muté en perce oreille, certes, l’insecte en soi n’est pas censé être dangereux pour l’homme mais là… avec une pince pareille autant dire qu’il est devenu bien plus méchant ! L’action bat son plein, jusqu’à un moment clé, et assez choquant pour nous lecteur, qui aura pour but d’améliorer Suchan. Quand j’avais lu ce passage sur Webtoon, je me disais que ce n’était pas possible, l’attente pour le chapitre suivant était long… là vous avez plus de chance, puisque le chapitre suivant est déjà là !

An assignment to hunt for Jungle Juice ends with students being hunted, as a second mysterious organization of human-bug hybrids steps into the narrative as the main antagonists.
But we get tragic backstories for both Huijin (we find out what her complex is) and Dohwa (scorpion girl) and also for new character Junhyeong (Goliath Birdeater Tarantula... which just sounds epic) And all this conflict means that Suchan's dragonfly complex starts...evolving.

This volume was pure action and I loved it.

So good!

I still love the concept but I don’t know if the back to back to back action is my thing. I would love for the pacing to be taken down a notch so the story has room to breathe.

Really loved this one. Will hopefully be buying the next one soon.

I don't know how the author came up with the storyline but, damn is it good!. Suchan is by far the ✨best✨

Oh, this volume passes where I left off in the web comic! It... also goes in a different direction from what I thought I read last. Hmm.
That said, the "twist" makes sense; . Then again, it's not like Suchan took on a completely dragonfly palette when he gained his mutation.
Anyway, likes:
+ The artwork (gorgeous... even IF bug-themed!)
+ Yerim :D and her !
Dislikes:
- The group test: Yes, the reason for giving them the made sense after the fact, but in the meantime, [shit happened].
- The (BARF).
- The abuse flashbacks... yes, I know they're important to her character [both instances where this statement is true], but that doesn't mean I have to LIKE them.
- Junhyeong. Don't care if he .
Neutral:
⋅ The "shounen"-style action. Like, I get into it on the first read, because action is exciting! Upon a second read, though, I feel like I roll my eyes a bit, since it gets into the same "tried and true" formula that becomes ridiculous as it goes on. It's more tolerable animated, mostly because at that point it's like watching twinkling lights—you watch just for the experience of it, not because it's intellectually stimulating or anything.
⋅ . Some of this is from a spoiler comment I accidentally read on a different web comic because they're linked, and that's why I'm even reading Jungle Juice in the first place. Point being is it feels "sus" and I'm not really looking forward to that thread panning out.
Recommended for readers like me who get a little motion-sick reading "scrolling" comics.

Suchan and his fellow students are assigned a new group project to find more cans of Jungle Juice, which are now incredibly rare. It turns out that Jungle Juice is an essential component in making Cinderella. Suchan is grouped up with Huijin, and their search leads them to the hidden warehouse of the manufacturer. But this hidden stash is too good to be true, and a carnivorous scorpion is waiting for them, hoping to devour them and absorb their power. After learning the origin of Huijin’s insect powers, the quest leads Suchan to an orphanage where a powerful adversary is targeting Dohwa and other children. There, they learn how Dohwa, the scorpion, their new bad guy, and Jungle Juice, all have connections that go back to childhood.
Eun is spinning some intricate plots and webs that are getting really interesting, and it’s only volume two! There is also a slow build up of characters surrounding Suchan that I appreciate because we can get attached to each one of them in turn as the story progresses and be introduced to and learn about their unique powers. Volume one gave us a great opportunity to learn about Suchan and his backstory, and volume two wove in three more characters but gave bits about their powers and backstory while driving the overall narrative forward.
The coloring and artistry of this series stands out and adds a lot of dramatic moments with action sequencing but also beautiful complementary color palettes. Even though this series is about insects and meta-humans, it is visually beautiful and striking.
There is some cussing and violence with blood on the page, so this series is better for older audiences.
