what they did to Yumis character was outta pocket.. i better see some justice being done to the female characters

[Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am sadden by the tragic end of a favorite character in this volume. Such a great person and it was a huge loss to everyone. In this volume, 2 years has passed since that incident caused by Mori's inexperience and recklessness at solo climbing. He's is still as determine as ever to become a climber and just as insistent at doing it alone. Mori can be as stubborn as a mule, once he has set his sight on a goal no one could stop him. I am impressed with his relentless drive and passion in achieving his dream.

I've continue to get more insights on mountaineering and was utterly amaze by the cost incurred. Even a solo expedition was exorbitant. In these chapters Mori met a new face and two other old acquaintances. Two of them had spurred his drive for mountaineering to newer heights, while one other was a bad omen and a distraction fatal to Mori's goal.

I was really not expecting it to be this good but I’m legitimately finding it hard to put down

les dessins m'impressionnent à chaque fois 🥹 c'est vraiment fou

[Brandon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved everything about this except the one female character being the absolute worst? Not like there were many girls or women in this series anyways, but dang really you gotta go that route? Mori seems really on his own and determined, but now he's got money problems and the like. No matter how much you train, if you can't afford to go to a mountain how are you supposed to climb it? I enjoy watching him grapple with this, but I am curious how 'push everyone else away' is going to be the point of this series.

Uno de los principales objetivos del manga es hacerte sentir lo que vive Mori, y desde esa perspectiva está muy bien logrado. En este volumen se encuentra con una vieja amiga, su compañera de clases Shirai Yumi. Y siento que la manera de ilustrar cada momento es impactante, sintiendo repudio de las situaciones y los personajes, por lo que da una inmersión total de lo ocurrido. Bien logrado este volumen, como también el desarrollo en la escala y su impacto en esta sociedad de escaladores.

This, is where the story actually begins, when the artist picks up the story. I don't know what the intended vision was for the previous writer, but what I do know is that what the artist had done with the story is beautiful. I'll post one more review on the last volume however, that one will have spoilers.

Okay what they wrote about Yumi in tome 2 was true she is a slut 😭 but omg the development here is so wonderful I literally got goosebumps when they talked about K2 seriously a dream to climb the east side honestly reminiscing about giving this a 3/5 but the development so good here I have to leave it at 4/5

[Ohagi · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 ⭐

at first i thought it was merely a transition volume but it really picked up towards the last chapters

i'm curious to see in which direction his relationship with Yumi will go now. what happened between them that night and how deeply did it affect him?

[Mersi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC (part 1)!

I have been waiting for the next omnibus since I finished the second one! I love Mori and watching him try new things while still dedicating himself to climbing is such a great feat. Poor Mori...he is still traumatized

[Chris K. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Is it commitment or stubbornness with mountains at this point, Mori?

I can’t believe Oonishi-sensei died.

This volume was really good. Mori is LOCKED IN to climb the most difficult mountain in the world. I really admire his determination. This is exactly why I picked up this series

Pretty decent

[Абрахам Хосебр · Rating 4 out of 5]

Сцена з ГГ в дощовику нагадує римського бога одужання Телесфора. Навряд би в мене виникла ця асоціація, якщо б я паралельно не читав Юнґа.
Вкінці є натяк на цікавий конфлікт.

I loved the old shirai 😭 too bad she turned into a ho* that’s why i gave this volume a 3 cs i was disappointed

[VK · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m sure it all gets explained at some point but the main character is so crazy and irrational

[Bariktj · Rating 5 out of 5]

I feel empty

Wow

[Danielle's Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

Man, I was not expecting for this to be quite so depressing. However, I am a masochist and love depressing things. So we have no fastforwarded two years into the future. Mori is now wanting to attempt climbing the K2 East front, and that screams danger and possibly more depression. Sign me up!
