The Climber 5

孤高の人 [Kokō no Hito] #5

by Shin'ichi Sakamoto

On his first day of transferring to a new high school, a loner named Mori Buntarou, is cajoled by a classmate into climbing the school building. Despite knowing that one misstep could send him spiraling to his death, he moves forward, and upon finally reaching the top, Mori experiences a sense of fulfillment. That feeling, which seems to be telling him, "You're alive!" gives birth to an adrenaline for rock-climbing.

Some members of their K2 team are awful, but I’m excited about this arc.

[Asvini · Rating 4 out of 5]

the way his loneliness and anxiety is portrayed is so real

[Kanishka · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quite moments like these..

[Bingus Boingus · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 Weakest one so far, holding out hope for the next one though

[Mahdiye HajiHosseini · Rating 5 out of 5]

هر جلد دارک‌تر از جلد قبل.
واقعا نمی‌فهمم این چه کرمیه ویزمدیا مانگاها رو دو جلد یکی می‌کنه.
در واقع جلد ۳ رو خوندم که میشه جلد ۵ و ۶ ژاپنی.

I can relate to Mori so much. He is a fellow introvert that doesn't fit into society. I feel so bad for him though because of how is treated by others.

[Dani Wladdimiro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Clásico volumen de transición para presentar a los demás integrantes del equipo, y siento que en retrospectiva es muy interesante lo realizado aquí, debido que nos dejan varios miembros que podrían ser ayuda de Mori, pero finalmente veremos que su desenlace va en otra dirección. Me tenía enganchado la historia, pero creo que comienza mi martirio (como Mori) con la lectura de The Climber.

[Fabian Roman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Los momentos contemplativos de Mori son maravillosos, los trazos de Sakamoto son sublimes. Me gusto mucho la introducción de los miembros del "Mountain 14" y las personalidades tan radicalmente diferentes que tienen cada uno.

[Brandon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dang, the K2 members kind of suck right now. Like, here's a new cast of supporting characters! They're all assholes, good luck. But it gives us some great scenes of Mori being anxious around people, I feel that. Looks like everyone is constantly demanding things of him.

I'm rooting for Mori so hard right now.
