死亡遊戯で飯を食う。5

Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table Light Novel #5

by Yushi Ukai, 鵜飼 有志, Nekometaru (Illustrator)

〈ハロウィンナイト〉を生き延びた私・幽鬼の前に現れた美少女。その正体はあの丸っこい娘さん・玉藻だった。
様変わりした彼女を(泣く泣く)弟子にした私は、盲目のプレイヤー・鈴々を訪ねる。
視力に頼らずゲームを生き抜いてきた彼女に、その技術を教えてもらおうと思ったのだが――この人、かなり物騒な思想の持ち主で……。
修行を終えてしばらくが経ち、新たに挑むは剣士の決闘をテーマに据えたゲーム〈ロワイヤルパレス〉。
立体感と遠近感に欠けた視界で、この戦いを生き残れるのか?
あるときは離島で、またあるときは王宮で。
今日も私は――死亡遊戯で飯を食う。
……たとえこの身が裂かれようとも。

This volume is kind of like reading on Page 1 "At the end of the book I'm going to shoot you in the head" and you spend the whole time reading in dread thinking "I sure hope they were joking and won't shoot me in the head," then you get to the end of the book and get shot in the head.

My favorite of the first five (EN ver.) volumes released so far.


This chapter was honestly exceptional with its showcase of the relationship between Yuki and Tamamo. The build-up was cute and believable, and the ending still lives rent-free in my head. I eagerly await an official English version of the manga / anime adaptation bringing their interactions even further to life.

They said the thing! I don’t know, I just feel like they could be doing more, but at the same time I enjoy it…so I don’t know.
