Shinichi Gotō has finally discovered who from his past paid to have him imprisoned for 10 years, but the reasons behind it remain a mystery. With only two volumes left, I don't think I can resist diving into them much longer!

[Himanshu Karmacharya · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally nearing the end, many secrets are revealed. The characters have been written very well in this volume. The readers not only care about the plot, but also about the fate of the characters.

[Felipe Sarmiento · Rating 4 out of 5]

We know the identity, but not the motive yet. I am surprised on how intrigued I am on this story. I really hope the ending is good!

Bolja epizoda od prethodne. Lagano se otvara priča.

في مستوى الجزء الفائت

This has already been a slow burn series compared to the fast-paced movie, but this is where it truly starts just spinning its wheels. A shocking moment happens where a character dies--and then it's immediately revealed that he didn't actually die, his death was just faked for...no apparent reason, as it didn't really lead to anything. In fact, this is the first volume where I really felt that I hadn't learned anything new about the mystery. It's not a game of chess where the pieces are constantly getting put in place so that actions can happen. It's checkers where half the game is the two players talking about the moves they could make but aren't making.

👉 Ha sido uno de los primeros mangas que leí, ya hace un tiempo de ello, y la tensión, furia e historia se mantienen durante los tomos de la obra.

👉 El guión en mi opinión es muy bueno, te va mostrando la inteligencia del protagonista y cómo no se deja llevar por el ímpetu una vez lo liberan. Poco a poco va labrando un plan para conocer quiénes han sido sus captores y hacérselo pagar.

👉 El dibujo con fondos definidos y oscuros, acompañan perfectamente la narración. Aunque el guión para mí está por encima.

👉 La película que si bien no es totalmente fiel al manga, transmite su tensión y tiene sin duda su hueco en el apartado de psycho thriller.

Avis intégralité : Découvrez une saga captivante qui vous emporte dès les premières pages ! Après avoir dévoré les extraits lors du festival de la BD en 2023, je suis devenu accro à cette histoire palpitante. Les premiers tomes m'ont totalement immergé dans leur univers, mais le troisième m'a laissé sur ma faim. Malgré cela, l'intrigue reste passionnante et le développement psychologique du personnage principal est remarquable. Un manga à ne pas manquer pour les amateurs de récits captivants !

На жаль, історія зовсім не рухається далі. Міг бути дуже непоганий драматичний момент, який перетворили на фарс. Ну і загалом вже бачу велику перевагу фільму у порівнянні з мангою. Фільм не розтягує порожній сюжет на величезний хронометраж. Сподіваюся, скоро закінчити всю мангу, але після шостого тому я вже вичерпав свою витривалість.

this one definitely lost steam compared to the previous two volumes. it makes me wonder if tsuchiya a) didn't know what The Event was yet or b) just wanted to stretch the serialization a bit longer. i just don't know how many times a man can try to remember before he actually gets there. like is his revelation on the last page even legit? i guess we'll find out.

[matt · Rating 3 out of 5]

The tension is definitely building after such a long, meticulous tale - it finally feels like we are reaching the finish line — definitely interested to see how this plays out.
I like how the slow pace specifically seems designed to allow time to simply look at the drawings. It’s refreshing to read a comic book that takes its time.

[Gavin McHugh · Rating 3 out of 5]

First disappointing volume for me. Not much happens, to-ing and fro-ing between Goto and his adversary.
It tries to weave a more tangled Web but only succeeds in causing confusion or retracing steps over and over.

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 4 out of 5]

Things are picking up as we get closer to the end. We know who the captor was, and we know the time frame of the incident that sparked the imprisonment, but we still don't know exactly what happened. The suspense is building!

Addictive

This is one of the most addictive manga series I’ve ever read. It really grips you, without all the added jazz from the movie adaptation.

Review of series on Vol 1.

I love the movie Oldboy but god I am adoring how much of a different animal this is.

he still hasn’t figured it out smh

Oldboy keeps it up with those beautiful illustrations.

The story takes a tenser mood when "Alias Dojimo" claims victory when he reveals his own name. Then "Alias Dojimo" fakes the murder of Goto's bar friend as Goto's punishment instead of death. While Goto eventually learns that his friend is not dead, he now realizes that "Alias Dojimo" is not above murdering the people about whom Goto cares. The game is then announced to go into "sudden death" overtime: Goto still hasn't figured out WHY he is the target of hate by "Alias Dojimo", and the latter seems to be enjoying the game too much to end it by killing Goto. Given that Goto knows that those whom he loves are now in danger, he conspires with his teacher to hide Eri, the girl with whom he started a tryst after being released from imprisonment.

Despite the eventful nature of this issue, the story feels like it is moving WAAAY too slow.

[Víctor Segovia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Creo que, hasta el momento, ha sido el tomo de la serie mas cargado de suspenso y aclaraciones del pasado no solo de Goto, sino de la historia personal de su antagonista; pero si bien aun no conocemos las verdadres razones del mencionado que lo llevo en hacerle lo que le hizo a Goto, considerando que ya gano el primer encuentro de ese retorcido ajedrez que estan jugando, la entrada de su ex profesora y de un referee hicieron del tomo una verdadera delicia de suspenso.
Aunque revelando, en las ultimas paginas, finalmente el hecho que desencadeno el odio.

Protege a tus seres queridos, no existe ninguna otra motivación real, este tomo equilibra un poco la partida y me asusta eso.

[Earl · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have to admit that at this point, the level of gore withstanding, it's becoming better than the movie. It is in this part where it gets even more complicated (with the addition of their former schoolteacher). Plus, more social commentary.

[Bill Fletcher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing. Really amazing. I can't understand why the 8 volumes haven't been collected into an oversized volume, but it's only a matter of time. The story is incredible and the artwork matches. So different (and so much more compelling) than the movie.

Goto finally has a breakthrough. This volume is mostly set up for the closing act of our tale of revenge!

[Steve Gougeon · Rating 5 out of 5]

really looking forward to vol 7 & 8. Can't wait to see how the whole thing unfolds...
