Don't you hate when an otherwise excellent series is ruined by a disgustingly, distractingly HUGE amount of fan service?

This manga is a perfect example of that. You know why? The anime.

The anime is so much better than this. They don't distract from the story and characters with meaningless fan service. Is there fan service in the anime? Totally. Is it as insane an amount as the manga? No.

This manga... every other page has a panty shot. Usually of the 11-year-old. That's right. Panty shots of an elementary school girl. Just no.

I'm not sure if the fan service was turned up for the manga or toned down for the anime, but I can honestly say the anime is better no matter how you look at it.

Manga panels get crowded to the point where it's difficult to read because of trying to fit too much T&A along with speech bubbles and plot. Artwork becomes inconsistent as skirts shrink and tops tighten just to show off that much more T&A. Characters (mostly female) have bizarre expressions that don't match the situation to try to make them more "Moe." Boobs become dislocated water balloons so they can be squished and moved around in painful, impossible ways. For the record,



Artwork sacrificing story aside, the story itself is great. Two gaming savants get teleported to a magical world where everything is decided by a game. I just wouldn't bother with an overpriced fan-service-to-the-point-of-embarrassing manga for it. Watch the anime. The art's so much better. And you won't scramble to hide it when people walk into the room. I do want to say, though, that the short story at the end, that is entirely text, was a fun read, which is part of what saved this from getting only 1 star.

The other thing I want to mention is the way Shiro was translated. In Japanese, she speaks in short, staccato sentences. But they are complete sentences in Japanese. In Japanese, you can give one-word sentences that have a ton of meaning. The translator chose, instead, to leave pieces untranslated (such as her saying "Nii," meaning brother, instead of "You," which is usually what she means, or "Big Brother" which would have been better for people who don't speak Japanese, especially since there are no translator notes), or to make her talk like my college notes, skipping those pesky words like "a" or "the." This made her come across as unable to speak rather than a girl of few words.

Normally I'd overlook a few of these problems. All of these together just drove me up a wall.

I can't. I just can't. Thank Tet that I got this from the library and didn't shell out the $13 to buy it.

Go watch the anime. It's so much better. I can't speak for the light novel, since it's not out yet in English, but I can definitely say the anime is much, much better.

Reto literario
grupo de whatsap

libro con ilustraciones.



LA UNICA RAZON POR LA QUE LE BAJO UNA ESTRELLA ES QUE HAY MUCHAS HOJAS QUE HABLAN DE LA ROPA INTERIOR DE LAS CHICAS DE 11 AÑOS. todo tiene un limite para mi pero extrañamente trata otros temas profundos de la vida. suena contradictorio pero no lo es .

asi la niña parezca de 23 años de madurez , es una niña y no necesitamos tener ese fetichismo a cada rato mencionandolo en la historia.

This book is about two NEET siblings who spend all their time playing video games. This book is very well thought out well executed. I would recommend this book to anyone who can read it is just such a good book. It not only is such a good story line it also teaches so many good lessons. It will speak volumes to you so you should read it.

The English translated version of the light novel (not the manga) was very difficult to understand. At least the one I found. Most of the sentences sounded really strange and I couldn't concentrate. It really got to my nerves in the end.

I'll stick with the anime version, thank you.

No Game, No Life turned out to be no thank you. I didn't like the main characters at all, and the fan service turned disgusting at the end. I'm done with this one and trading the copy I bought.

[Kenchiin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Guilty pleasure.

[Michael (Mai) · Rating 1 out of 5]

What I didn’t know: That there is an anime. And apparently it’s better than the manga.

Why I read it:: I thought it was about people getting stuck in a video game world (like .hack or SAO) and I love that stuff. Also the cover was pretty.

What I think about it: I want that time back. I really didn’t care for this. I’m totally cool with fan service but not when it’s coming from an eleven year old girl. Also, the weird brother-sister relationship that was bordering on incest was also not for me. They actually have a conversation about how Shiro couldn’t do anything x-rated until she was 18 and that Shiro knew Sora couldn’t wait that long…ew! What!? Call me a prude or whatever you want but all of that was a big no.

Other things wrong with it: lesbian-ish bath scene with the 11 year old participating (the lesbian part isn’t the problem), non-consensual boob squishing, and during said boob squishing (it totally looked like it would have hurt the way he was doing it) the 11 year old was taping it for them to watch it later (cuz yeah, she was in the room).

The art would have been good except for all the weird fan service and crowded panels.

As for the story line…people say that it has a good story but I just don’t believe them. It was probably the dialogues, it just didn’t seem natural. I’m sure there was some reason in the Japanese text that made them decide to translate Shiro’s speech patterns weird but it didn’t translate well to English.

I’m not going to finish this series. I’m not going to watch the anime. I’m also not going to read the light novels. If you liked this then I’m sorry I tore apart your series but it just wasn’t for me.

Not my style but interesting enough. I do like a quote from this story.

(Real life is...)

"...เกมไร้สาระที่ทั้งกติกาและเป้าหมายไม่ชัดเจน...

ไม่มีสิทธิ์จะบอกผ่าน...

ไม่รู้เป้าหมาย ไม่มีค่าพารามิเตอร์ ไม่มีการแบ่งแยกหมวดหมู่ให้ชัดเจน
ถึงจะทำตามกติกาที่ถูกกำหนดไว้ก็ยังถูกลงโทษ

และที่สำคัญที่สุด
เจ้าพวกคนที่ไม่สนใจกติกากลับยืนอยู่บนจุดสูงสุด
ด้วยสีหน้าราวกับทุกอย่างมีไว้เพื่อตัวเอง

ถ้าเทียบกับชีวิตที่เหมือนเกมห่วย ๆ นี่ละก็
ไม่ว่าเกมแบบไหนก็ง่ายกว่ากันเยอะ" (' ', น. 39)

My first thought for this manga series was something to say be...

* Just a bunch of shitloads comprising high amounts of nudity of almost all and every girl admits some gaming scenarios.. that's it, nothing else*

Naprosto jsem se zamilovala do artstylu téhle mangy. Dějově... not bad so far. Sora je jen děsný pedofil xDDD

No Game No Life Vol. 1
By Yuu Kamiya, Mashiro Hiiragi
This is a book about two kids that are NEET and they have given up on their world and are given a chance to live in a new were games is the only was to decided anything, from who takes out the trash to who is get all the the new house, the book it self is simply a great book, it was meant to let the audiences have a laughed or two, as far as this book goes anyway. The book makes me think about if you have a thing like this happens to you and could you survive in this world. The book makes people think about how life is now and what would you do if God ask you to play a game.
The book it self is well written, it does not stray off on some boring thing there is always something they are planning it never just for fun. Still they are funny charters never having a dull moment in their lives. The story works well with the kids strength and their weakness. The side charters are very good they are simply working perfectly with the two main charters. They are simply the team of misfits and somehow they work together and win the fight. The charters will make you think of your self and others, they are not the average person, but they got things they are very special. The story will keep you on your feet laughing to tears and you will still will want to read more.
The story works well cause there are not many story's to go off on. You really can't say that "this story" was better because the was no "this story" to compare it to as far as I have reader. The story really works cause it's funny and some parts a little serious. They story greatest weakness will be that not everyone can like this story and even get what's happening. the story is all about games and some part technology, and if you don't get that stuff you will be left be-hided wondering what's happening. This book is great, but you need to be a person that knows about games and open with wired idea if you never heard of them. So yes I could recommend this book to a couple of them.

My honest to "TeT" opinion on the first volume of No Game No Life. Read this comparison if you're looking for a review on Vol. 1 of the Manga - not between the Manga and Light Novels or Anime.

First things first, if you're interested in a manga with a "Gaming" theme, you need to understand... this isn't Sword Art Online. Using SAO in comparison, this manga takes it's fan service to another level [Hehe]. Despite being riddled with fan-service, [that makes you feel guilty about loving it btw] NGNL vol. 1 introduces it's protagonists well, with a gripping story that any shut-in can associate with! Even possibly make you envious? The art is absolutely splendid even with two artists working on the same manga! Overall, this manga is incredibly captivating in story and art which typically makes up for the overwhelmingly naughty fan-service. NGNL hooks you in and ends with a interesting short story leaving any reader begging for more. The possibility for even greater character development definitely tempts me enough to read the next volume!

Next time then ;D

[Amber · Rating 2 out of 5]

First off Sora is creepy looking. Instead of getting interested in it, I found myself wishing I had picked up Sword Art Online: Aincrad, Vol. 1 instead. After looking at the Goodreads reviews, I think if I want to continue on in this series, I should stick to the anime.

[Jenna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Way, waaaay too much fan service and awkwardly staged dramatic poses that, I suppose, are supposed to make readers like the antisocial Sora...? The premise of gamers being transplanted into a fantasy world could’ve been fun and intriguing seeing how those who don’t feel like they fit in modern society work in another land.

But at the expense of having so much fan service, at almost every single page, no thanks!

[Ser · Rating 1 out of 5]

I wish I could give it no stars, this book is gross and was definitely not what I expected. the tone of pedo pseudo-cest is enough to not continue reading, if the ass shots of an 11 year old girl wasn't enough. this still doesn't erase the sexual assault and consistent non consensual video recording the other characters.

[Josie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is altogether one of my favorites because the plot is fantastic and the character traits are perfect along with the emotion put into them as the characters un ordinarily which worlds into a fantasy game like world were they cheat there way through life... LITERALLY

Nope. Not for me.

[Guilherme · Rating 5 out of 5]

No Game No Life, a light novel de Yuu Kamiya, conta a história de dois irmãos com dificuldade de desenvolver relações interpessoais e que se fecharam no mundo dos jogos desde crianças. Sora, um virgem de 18 anos, e Shiro, uma pequena gênio de 11 anos, formam a invencível dupla Kuuhaku, sendo recordistas em todos os jogos existentes, uma lenda entre os gamers de todo o mundo, um mistério, uma lacuna. No entanto, ainda que fossem uma lenda viva do universo dos games, havia um jogo que eles sabiam que nunca poderiam ganhar. Um jogo sem graça, sem regras que valessem para todos os jogadores, sem objetivos claros, caótico e sem razão de existir: a própria vida. Em um dia que já estavam exaustos não apenas de suas rotinas como seres humanos, mas também devido às cinco noites viradas jogando um mmo, um e-mail é enviado aos irmãos, convidando-os para uma partida de xadrez. Instigados com a situação, os irmãos aceitam o convite para a partida de xadrez que iria mudar suas vidas.
No Game No Life não se trata realmente de dois irmãos gamers com diversos problemas sociais, vitoriosos nos jogos e perdedores irl. Porém, de uma original e empolgante história sobre Kuuhaku, o melhor jogador de todos os tempos de nosso mundo, desbravando o mundo de Disboard, onde tudo é decidido por jogos. Neste primeiro volume, basicamente somos introduzidos ao mundo de Disboard, em especial a Elquea, o território da raça Imanity. Entre as dezesseis raças inteligentes, Imanity seria equivalente à raça humana, pela falta de afinidade com magia ou mesmo habilidade para percebê-la. Por coincidência (ou não, vide que foram trazidos àquele mundo por Tet, um garoto que se apresentou como Deus de todas as raças), Sora e Shiro caem próximos ao território dos imanities, onde aproveitam para testar os 10 mandamentos dos jogos que Tet ensinou a eles durante a queda.
Enfim, não irei resumir todo o livro aqui pois iria remover a graça do incrível desenrolar da obra, o único ponto negativo que consegui analisar foi o fanservice um tanto exagerado, quer dizer, a trama está ficando boa e, de repente... Ecchi? Wtf? Desnecessário mas não desvaloriza tanto o ponto principal.

No Game No Life by Yuu Kamiya is about to siblings, Sora and Shiro, and their journey in a different world. Sora and Shiro play many games, as the title implies, and they have lots of fun while they are at it. Throughout the journey, Sora and Shiro really bond throughout all these games and they really show how teamwork is the best way to win games.
I enjoyed this book for many reasons. One reason why I enjoyed No Game No Life was because that NGNL was different, as wasn’t like any other anime. Also I like NGNL because many of the games that Sora and Shiro played were very creative, and the ways to win were very unexpected. I like when books are different and good, which is why I liked this aspect of No Game No Life.
I rated no game no life a ⅗. There were many reasons for this, but one reason that I liked it a lot was because of the fact that the plot was just overall creative. All the games they played and the ways that they won were just very creative and made me want to read more and more. One thing that I didn't like about NGNL was that it had too much fan-service. It wasn’t like another manga that I read recently, Keijo, which had the right amount of fan-service and made the manga actually interesting, and funny. For NGNL though, there is just too much fan-service, and I think that it would have been better if they just left out most of those scenes.

[kate rehurek · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book lost two stars because of the fan service. One star lost just for the general fan service in general (Poor Stephanie did not need that extra trauma done to her) and another star lost for fan service of an ELEVEN YEAR OLD. I’m sorry, but that’s not acceptable in my book. There were several times where I wanted to put the book down and stop altogether.

I watched “No Game No Life: Zero” before starting this series, because it was the prequel made after the series. That movie had me bawling- It talked about the war that happened 6,000 years ago and what actually went down. It was an apocalyptic scene, and Riku and Schwi were one of the best couples that I’ve seen in my anime watching days. The couple discussed adult themes (Since Schwi wasn’t human and they were engaged, she was a robot-type character), but there was no fan service and it had me in tears. I was so excited to read the manga on the original story.

The lore, hierarchy and gambling was insane. I can see why so many people got attached to this series, because it is truly remarkable.

I’m going to read the second installment to see if it gets any better.

[Makaila · Rating 5 out of 5]

No Game No Life is one of my personal favorite light novels. I watched the anime and just had to continue with the light novel! It still leaves me wanting more and more with every book. I hope to get others into the series, but I know it can be hard with the siblings being weird.

Summary:

Two siblings in Japan have a hard time with social interaction. Due to this, they become shut-ins that only rely on each other for support and games. The brother is a 18 year old who takes care of his 11 year old younger sister. The two don't want to play the game of "life", but are given the opportunity to change that. After being challenged by an entity that calls itself god, they are transported into the land of games. The duo need to adjust to this new land, but while that happens they get to see first hand how every conflict is solved by games. This truly is a paradise for them, now its time for the siblings to scheme and put their gaming skills to the test. Can they reach the finish line, or will this unstoppable duo get crushed?

[Arnold · Rating 5 out of 5]

No Game, No Life revolves around a unique take on a classic concept, and one that will certainly take you on an adventure if you are willing to look past its flaws.
The main characters, Sora and Shiro, are two shut-in siblings who are drawn into a fantastic world where every conflict is resolved through games, no matter what is at stake. Despite their rather standoffish personalities, the story is written in a way that is guaranteed to keep the reader on their toes -- the plot works surprisingly well with the characters' strengths and weaknesses.
However, the story is not without its disadvantages, as fanservice is a main theme portrayed in the book. Although this didn't ruin my experience with the book at all, it's worth noting that Shiro is twelve years old but is sexualized rather blatantly, a detail that can be off-putting for certain readers. Despite this, No Game, No Life is a novel with a colorful cast and action-packed story. It keeps me yearning for more.

Kiedyś kupiłam tę mangę, bo fabuła brzmiała interesująco.

Okazało się to jednak czymś tak odrażającym, że nie mogę!!!

Główna bohaterka ma 11 lat, a ciągle jest przedstawiana w mega seksualnych pozach.

Ogólnie mamy rodzeństwo: brat ma 18 lat i jego siostra 11.

Cytat z mangi: "Ale ciebie nie mogę tknąć! Masz 11 lat i przyjdzie policja. Braciszek jest już starszym panem! Takie potrzeby się pojawiają!"

Albo w innym miejscu: "Nie chciałeś jej gwałcić, bo tego nie lubisz, więc zażyczyłeś sobie żeby się w tobie zakochała."

Co proszę?!

I ta siostra (11 lat!!!) nagrywa brata jak obmacuje inną dziewczynę i ich instruuje. Co do chuja pana!

I jeszcze bardziej mnie obrzydza, że osoby, które stworzyły to gówno są małżeństwem. Nie wiem, jakby to sprawia, że jest to jeszcze gorsze.

Nie wiem czemu to ma taką wysoką ocenę. Pewnie nie jestem w gronie odbiorców... pedofilów i zboczeńców. Ja pierdole...

[Samantha · Rating 2 out of 5]

That was weird. I like the gaming angle but it was so fanservicey I lost interest in the plot. The siblings have a lot of instances where it seems they’re a couple, with the brother even joking he can’t touch his sister sexually because she’s underage. Creepy dude. Sister doesn’t want him to have any girlfriends and just be with her all the time. Then when he does interact with a girl there’s a long explicit grope scene with her tits out. Then there’s a mostly nude bathing scene with fog blurring out the inappropriate parts. What ticks me off is that this is rated Teen, which is usually 13 and up. Most of the time this stuff would’ve at least been Older Teen so I was surprised and very glad I always read stuff before putting it in my classroom. This was more explicit and creepily sexual than most of the OT stuff I’ve read. Geez.

" We are the proud weak. " ~ Sora

The protagonists had been pulled into a new world, found a shelter, gambled to be become king and queen and gave a hopeful future to Immanity and citizens of Elkia through the knowledge, mostly from gaming and reading preparations for quiz games, to aid them in challenging other Ixceeds to collect all the pieces so they can challenge Tet, the One True God.

I gotta admit the siblings are excellent at what they are doing. One is a perverted strategist and the other is the embodiment of logic and intelligence, a loli genius. Both of them are quite sadistic to Stephanie (for comic relief or not, she deserves better).

The journey to challenge the One True God. I'm looking forward to reading the second volume.

[Kristin ✨ · Rating 2 out of 5]

I actually fell asleep 4 chapter's into the book..

I'm not the targeted demographic, I get it. But never have I ever had such a bad time with a shonen manga before? I have not watched the anime nor read the light novel's but right now I feel scared away from the series, which is the opposite of what I wanted from reading this manga.

The plot is intresting but at the same time nothing really happens in this first volume. It's simply a few chapter's filled with a underage loli getting extremly lewded by her own brother + that one steph girl.

If you happen to live for fan service this might be something for you, but i'm not going to touch upon this series again. I also didn't know skirts shrinked and enlarged that way? and I tend to wear them??

[Mio · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book starts off with 2 siblings living in an isolated life. They then were given a choice to either stay in their dull life or get transferred into a fantasy world from a "God". They obviously chose the fantasy world rather than live in their current world. The rest of the book continues with them competing and living in their new fantasy world where everything is about games. I read a few pages before buying this, I thought it was going to be an exciting book. However, when I continued reading more after purchasing, it became boring. I definitely regret buying this book, the animation was better than this. I do like the character designs and art style. I don't recommend this book, it's weird.

[HardLight · Rating 5 out of 5]

I said to myself this year there'd never be a season 2 and to just get on with reading the Light Novels and be done with it. so I've started, volume 1 is done and

I love it, there's rarely a series that had been as faithful to the source material as this one was, virtually everything in the opening arc of the anime is there in the LN and it's translated perfectly, though I prefer the chess battle in the anime if I'm honest, a bit more gravitas to it.
Outside of that, it's No Game No Life, it's amazing and you'll love it, doesn't miss any beats and addresses all the fan arguments right ont he nose immediately while not hiding from them like other series do, I'm a fan and will be continuing it throughout the series.

[Anna · Rating 1 out of 5]

There is a fun lil "2 social-rejects get sucked into another world where GAMES is literal everything" plot in there somewhere... ... you just need to really dig for it!

Buried in ridiculous l33t-speak, clumsy sentence fragments (think 13-year-old's typing on early AIM), exceptionally terrible & cringeworthy fanservice (in both prose & illustration) and the outright "eeeeeiw" of the book opening with a full-color illustration of naked Shiro bein given a bath by naked Steph (Shiro is ELEVEN!!! Nobody needs to see that!)

And guess what, the fanservice only gets worse from there! There is a literal paragraph, full 3 lines, of nothing but sound effects of Sora squishing an unwilling girl's breasts! (later they'll see how much worse then can get away with on her by making her dress up in skimpy clothes etc...)
The gross-out factors keep piling up in usual light novel fashion: have some implied incest. Have the secondary character be shapely, so of course she has all the brain power of a tired hamster and will be taken advantage of constantly... did i mention Shiro is goddamn ELEVEN & clearly needs professional help?
