I really didn’t expect this series to be so dark, or so authentic in its portrayals of mental health. Ngl I love yanderes as much as the next person but seeing an actual deconstruction of one that focuses on the mental issues involved (similar to needy streamer overdose) is insanely refreshing to me. Anyways I’m hooked especially with the plot developments involving Nei. I cannot wait to see how this story evolves by next volume!

Nope. Can't. Too much.

VOGLIO IL VOLUME 6 SUBITO, ORA, NOW, IN THIS MOMENT.
Questo volume è stato spettacolare e ne è davvero valsa l'attesa.
La trama si infittisce e i personaggi diventano sempre più interessanti.
Voglio assolutamente sapere cosa è accaduto dieci anni prima alla famiglia di Nei AAA

Top top top !! Also wenn das mal nicht das nächste große Ding wird 👀

Und jetzt halbes Jahr warten auf den nächsten Band 😭

[˙⋆✮ Anny ✮⋆˙ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series really goes from being funny to being the most brutal shit within 2 pages. With some heartbreak and traumatic pasts thrown in.
Some scenes in this volume were a bit too much for me, but overall I'm invested in the story and the characters and the art is amazing!

Un cinquième tome qui s'est fait un peu attendre, et j'avoue que je ne savais plus du tout où on s'était arrêté ni ce qu'il s'était passé. Comme on poursuit un combat déjà en cours, il est plus ou moins facile de se rappeler l'intrigue, fort heureusement et les blancs se remplissent rapidement également avec la suite. Plutôt rassurée, car franchement, je n'avais pas vraiment envie de relire le quatre pour rafraichir ma mémoire.

Une conclusion du combat contre Utsu plutôt efficace, avec sa dose de tension et un Alma qui nous prouve qu'il peut aussi se débrouiller seul et réfléchir. On sent l'évolution du personnage autant psychologiquement que via son niveau de combat. Après tout, nous sommes dans un shonen, c'est normal. La suite nous laisse un peu dans l'expectative par contre car on connait la "famille" et le but du méchant, donc rien de nouveau sous le soleil pour le lecteur. Les révélations d'Utsu n'en sont pas vraiment pour nous. Reste à savoir comment ces informations vont être utilisées par nos héros par la suite.

Une page se tourne donc un nouveau méchant pointe le bout de son nez. Je pense que l'on va plus ou moins rester dans le même schéma maintenant à savoir qu'un membre des gentils va devoir affronter son passé et se retrouve (comme de par hasard) lié à un membre de la Famille. Sur le principe, ça ne me dérange pas car le parallèle entre les deux groupes, s'il est bien géré, peut amener pas mal de choses intéressantes. Par contre, il ne faudrait pas que cela devienne trop redondant et ennuyant. C'est un équilibre qu'il va falloir traiter avec finesse.

Alma et Tao se retrouve donc à travailler avec Nei. On en apprend pour le coup beaucoup sur la jeune femme, et personnellement je suis curieuse de voir où cela va nous mener. En espérant que le passé de Nei soit exploité un peu plus en profondeur et que l'on en tire quelque chose. Pour l'instant, je suis plutôt satisfaite surtout vu sa relation avec un nouveau personnage. On touche une relation en nuances à de multiples niveaux et c'est très prometteur. Je reste par contre sur mes réserves car je ne sais pas comment tout ça va finir. J'avoue que même si j'apprécie beaucoup Gokurakugai, je n'arrive pas totalement à faire "confiance" à Yuto Sano. Tout peut très vite partir en cacahuètes et je n'arrive toujours pas à me dire que Gokurakugai sort du lot. Il y a énormément d'éléments intéressants mais nous restons dans les balbutiements de l'histoire. Je reste impatiente de voir la suite par contre, car ce que l'on découvre dans le tome cinq est très prometteur.

[deborah.reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

La storia sta diventando sempre migliore!

[Laura Tozier · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gokurakugai está teniendo cada vez más forma. Ya no es el típico shonen con protagonista feliz y comilón. Esto tiene drama, tiene trasfondo e ideas muy buenas. Está mejorando con el paso de los tomos y cada vez engancha y me gusta más. Estoy deseando seguir leyéndolo (y más después de ver cómo ha terminado). La pena es que el mangaka va a su ritmo y saca un manga cada 8 meses. Pero no es de extrañar con el dibujo que tiene.

PD. Los villanos son increíbles. 10 de diseño. 10 de originalidad con la explicación de sus poderes. Sin duda, lo que más me gusta junto a la señora Tao. (Y el 'tragaperras' que me hace mucha gracia). Aunque he de decir que Alma está mejorando mucho con el paso de los capítulos.

En resumen; me está encantando.

Peak series. The intro to more Family members is interesting. Also interesting how everyone in the main cast has something to do with the Magas somehow.

[Kelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

seeking righteous vengeance against your enemies but also being very willing to sacrifice everything to protect your sworn enemy’s child is very pisces-coded, shizuka~

Behold! The SPOILERS!

Well, this was fine. I don’t think the volume was anything special but there were some nice moments in it. Honestly, I just feel like the story is a little scattered at the moment so it’s hard to give it a high rating.

Especially the beginning part with Utsu was just meh. Sure, I loved it when Tao came to the rescue and how she was proud of Alma for dealing with Utsu the way he did but this psycho bitch’s storyline in general didn’t really hook me. Though I guess I did like the speech that Alma gave her about how she doesn’t see people for who they are but just idealized versions of them.

But then the story with the haunted mansion and Nei’s family actually got me hooked. I really like that the villain dude - Shizuka or whatever his name was - isn’t completely terrible. He keeps letting Nei live and you just start wondering why. Not to mention the backstory which is just great. I love how we got to see little Nei and how things at her house weren’t perfect. Also the scene with her sewing a heart onto Shizuka’s jacket is really wholesome. Oh and then she gets kidnapped and he prevents the others from using her for child pornography or something so you know, he isn’t the worst possible being on the planet.

But anyway, I think we’ve had stronger volumes than this. I’m excited to see the direction the story will take with Nei and Shizuka but I also hope that I don’t have to see Utsu ever again. I’m giving this 3 stars but I hope the manga picks up a little in the future.

continues to be my favorite shonen being published at the moment....the art is just too fcking good and I love these characters so much!!! the action sequences are insane, very stylized and entertaining but not too overdrawn to the point where you can't tell what's going on. this volume we see the end of the main utsu arc (which I'm happy about, because as cool as her powers are I cannot stand the way she refers to herself in third person) and the beginning of nei's backstory. I'm so intrigued by this scary dude who apparently killed her whole family but also seems to have a soft spot for her....the fact that he's still wearing the jacket she sewed the patch on?!?! why do I feel like the end of this arc is going to break my heart...

[Pantongg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the dynamic that shifts to be more serious! The action scene is still done neatly and nicely. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

I like the conversation between Ulma-kun and Usu in the interrogation room. It's what is related when we judge people based on their appearance or just the glimpse of conversation only.

[Cassandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

The art is so darn good. The story is getting dark we deal with the end of one fight and we start our next battle. The character growth does seem to mostly be happening to the cast of characters but its interesting. There is so much darkness in this series, it is not light hearted but it is funny mostly cause of Alma. Alma is so funny and enjoyable in just easy, small ways.

I need more.

[Alyssa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is the antithesis to all of the new shonen slop series that don't care about giving anyone one of their hundreds of side characters a backstory and personality than can't be summarized in just one word.
