Dai Dark, vol. 6

大ダーク [Dai Dark] #6

by Q. Hayashida, Yasuko Tojo (Translator)

En algún lugar de la infinita oscuridad del universo... Zaha Sanko, de 14 años, de quien se dice que sus huesos pueden hacer realidad cualquier deseo, junto a sus compañeros son conocidos como los “Cuatro Males” ¡y están amenazados por todo el universo! En el planeta Kenzaan Zaha Sanko y Shimada Muerte caen en una trampa y acaban siendo transportados en una nave en el interior de una máquina desintregradora de desechos. La luz de la estrella artificial resulta tan potente que para salvar a Sanko, Shimada se fusiona con él convirtiéndose en Sanko Muerte. La nave aterriza en el territorio sagrado de Testaluz. Allí, Sanko Muerte se enfrentará a Tom Andosol convertido en un humano fotonuclear, sediento de venganza, y al Gran Pikas deseoso de hacerse con los huesos de Sanko.

Her most famous work is the 23-volumes long Dorohedoro (2000-2018).

Okay. The collision of the past and present storylines actually helped lift this goofy series back into the zone of being interesting, especially as things abruptly moved toward a climactic battle that left the book ending on a cliffhanger.

I'll give the next volume a try if my local library adds it to their collection.

L’histoire a prit une tournure à laquelle je ne m’attendais absolument pas, je me demande bien comment les quatre fléaux vont bien pouvoir se sortir de cette situation

Outstanding as always.

[Robert Writhe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun adventures and killer art. Overall my rating for the series is 4/5 for creativity, style, and entertainment but it plays so fast and loose with everything it still feels like it’s lacking grounding and depth. Nothing wrong with bubblegum pulp but I wish as a reader I felt more wrapped into this bizarre and horrifying world.

How do you fight someone with no bones!

i am somewhat losing the plot here but still having an ok time despite that! it feels like we might be headed towards a conclusion of the current arc (???). the younger storyline is maybe also connected and mostly wrapped now (???). something?

bye

A bit stalled, but still fun.

The progress of the story, with the present and past plotlines kind of finally meeting, is interesting enough, and that cliffhanger ending seems to point towards some type of conclusion, at least when it comes to all the sparkles.

3.75

[Alana · Rating 3 out of 5]

primeiro volume que eu fiquei meio "tá mas e aí?"
mas estou curiosa sobre a fusão entre o sanko e a shimada

[Zehra · Rating 5 out of 5]

The main story was super dramatic while I couldn't stop laughing about the bonus chapter

3,5

[ReadingFrog · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars.

[Mak Hoeksema · Rating 4 out of 5]

Everythings coming together… the sparkle clan is still hella annoying but they make much more sense now. Zaha Shimada is one of the coolest character designs.
