Chapter 14-23
This was pretty dark... I think the series improves with almost every volume.

Update: I really liked the hunted house in chapter 22&23

They shouldn't have made the bad guys so attractive and sleepy looking if they wanted me to hate them.

C’est avec ce genre de tome que je suis contente d’avoir donné une seconde chance à Gokurakugai et d’avoir poursuivi l’aventure. Il faut avoir le cœur bien accroché avec ce shonen, mais plus on avance dans l’histoire, plus je la trouve prenante. Et Alma et Tao ne cessent de devenir de plus en plus attachants, ce qui ajoute un peu plus de plaisir à cette lecture.

Un tome en deux parties, si l’on peut dire, car elles ont toutes les deux Yomi comme point central, mais elles touchent nos deux héros de façon distinctes. La première est la moins gore, mais celle qui joue le plus sur la corde sensible. On découvre la véritable identité de Yoru et par la même occasion le passé de Tao. C’est assez difficile à voir, et on ne peut pas rester indifférent face à ce qu’il se passe. Mais, Alma parvient encore une fois à « alléger » l’ambiance. Alors pas avec de l’humour, ça aurait été mal placé, mais il fait front et protège sa patronne, comme l’allié qu’il voulait devenir.

D’ailleurs, malgré le sang et la violence, je suis vraiment hypée par les scènes de combats. Elles sont vraiment bien faites autant visuellement que dans les enchaînements. C’est hyper important dans un shonen de ce type, donc bravo à Yuto Sano.

La deuxième partie poursuit dans notre découvre des Maga de Yomi. Nos héros mènent l’enquête et avec les dernières informations qu’ils obtiennent, on y voit un petit peu plus clair. C’est sympa d’en apprendre un peu plus au fur et à mesure, ce qui permet aussi de ne pas avoir des combats à répétition.

La nouvelle rencontre avec un Maga est plutôt gore. Cette deuxième partie de Gokurakugai est heureusement entrecoupée avec des scènes un peu plus légères, même si le lecteur sait qu’il y a un gros danger qui plane sur nos héros. Cela fait descendre un petit peu la pression, tout en nous gardant en alerte. Un bon équilibre. Alma est égal à lui-même, prêt à rendre service dès qu’on lui demande… ce qui n’est pas toujours pour son bien. Mais j’espère qu’il ne changera pas malgré ces dernières rencontres assez négatives. Il évolue par contre au niveau combativité et il est de plus en plus badass lorsqu’il se retrouve face au danger. Là encore, on adore.

Un tome quatre vraiment top pour Gokurakugai. On entre dans le vif du sujet et le mangaka maîtrise son intrigue ainsi que la gestion des émotions, celles des personnages mais aussi des scènes qui se déroulent sous nos yeux. Hâte d’avoir la suite, c’est certain.

it kinda unsettles me how realistic the mental health depictions of yuto sano are (at least for the ones in my experience) it was a solid volume, i cannot wait to see what happens next.

but i would advise refraining from reading this volume for the cases of manic depression and self-harm.

The plot is shit and the pacing is whack but the drawing is so. fucking. pretty! I just can't stop ✨looking✨
I'll probably read all there is and then gaslight myself to forget it exists so I won't keep reading it

3.5/5 ⭐️

omg, my first plotline!
... I don't like it. You can take it back, but my edgy teenage ahh would have loved this for sure. Now it's just kinda cringe to me tbh


My main motive for continuing on with the series is ofc Yoru (THE bishōnen of all time) but ig its also kinda wholesome at times and I'm a sucker for shit like that, so...

Nadie me baja de este barco: se sabe que los mangas mejoran ×1000 cuando hay personajes femeninos (tanto si son girlboss con pasado traumático como Tao o calamidades de dudosa estabilidad mental como Utsuro)

เปิดเล่มนี้มาก็ซึมเป็นอย่างมากเลยค่ะ ปมชีวิตของทาโอะกับน้องจิน(หรือโยรุ)โคตรจะแย่เลย แบบน้องเข้าใจผิดคิดว่าพี่ทิ้งตัวเองไปอ่ะ จนคิลตัวเองแล้วก็ได้มาเจอกับโยมิหลังจากนั้น… แต่ชอบตอนจินได้เจอกับอัลมามากเลย มันเด็กน้อยสุดๆอ่ะ ฮาาา

แล้วระหว่างนี้ก็มีคดีคนตุยเพียบ ในเรื่องมันก็บอกเรามานั่นแหล่ะว่าฝั่งโยมิใครเป็นคนทำบ้าง ซึ่งในเล่มนี้เล่าถึงเคสของอุสึ/อุสึโระก่อน (มี ⚠️TW เรื่องทำร้ายตัวเอง/กรีดข้อมือด้วยนะ‼️) แล้วฉากต่อสู้คือว้าวววว รายละเอียดดีเสมอต้นเสมอปลายเลยค่ะ

ปมเรื่องกำลังสนุกเลย รออ่านต่อเล่มหน้า~

Honestly, this is the first manga series I stuck with, I ended up really loving it! Although this volume got suuuper dark. As always, the art is great, the story takes twists and turns and comes with lots of action (and blood), and the characters are interesting, mysterious, even funny; and gods why is everyone in this series so fucking pretty?!

La trama si sta facendo sempre più interessante e sono follemente innamorata dei villain di questa serie.
Alma rimane sempre mio figlio, ma anche Jin/Yoru non scherza affatto.
I disegni sono sempre spettacolari, un vero piacere per gli occhi.

Scusate ma quanto è inquietante Utsuro? Per fortuna Alma ci ricorda cosa dobbiamo fare quando lo/la spasimante non rispetta il nostro NO! 🔥

So much emotional stuff happens in this volume with his friend and her brother. Also some movement in the larger plot. The art is so good.

Utsuro is scary!! And she’s going to be a big problem!

I’m kinda bored with the alternate personality shtick but Yoru/Jin is fine AF so I’ll let it slide. Every time I read this manga I spend extra long just drooling over the art.

Is Maki dead?!?!!

W Yaya. She raised Alma so well.

Capítulos: 14 al 20.

El verdadero Jin toma el cuerpo, alegre de ver a Alma, asustado de ver a Tao, pelean y casi mata a Alma, pero Tao lo protege, demostrando cuán importante es para ella, Yoru regresa diciendo que quiere más a Alma que a su propio hermano, y explicando que es un tipo de segunda personalidad, marchandose.

Alma bonito, feliz de saber que Tao no abandono a Jin, amo mucho mucho su relación, la carita sonriente de Alma, la tranquilidad de Tao, son preciosos, aunque Jin será irreemplazable, Alma es como un hermano menor más para Tao.

Nuevas calamidades aparecen, descubriendo así que sus causas de muerte son sus habilidades, Alma termina conociendo a una nueva calamidad de nombre Utsu debido a su trabajo, quien mata a su novio, conocido de Alma para después ir tras él ajsjaj, se van de cita, Tao la descubre, Alma le propone amistad, ella se molesta y decide matarlo, pues si no puede tenerlo, nadie más lo hará, ni siquiera Yomi. Me agarra al niño a putazos, pero él comienza a defenderse cuando toma su collar, iniciando una batalla muy buena, Alma tiene que capturarla, por lo que se contiene, pierde sangre y se lastima, pero no deja de intentarlo, hasta que Utsu casi lo apuñala, por fin llega Tao, quien le deja claro que es su subordinado, que no se puede meter con él sin su permiso, y ese "¿oíste perra?" me hizo daño askakjs, y apuñalandola con la estaca de Alma, logran dormirla y capturarla.

No puedo creer que tenga que esperar por más, pero ya que, todo sea por seguir leyendo a este grandioso par.
