4.25/5

Damn the art in this manga really keeps amazing me more and more with every volume.

My favourite volume so far

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

In this volume, Niimi's background and his reason to stand on top of K2 peak was brought to light. He's a tenacious man and would not yield any hardship in order to achieve his goal. Although I am not too impress with his selfishness and recklessness. Having a man like him on the team just spells disaster in the making. He is just too much of a hothead to make wise decisions. 

Seems like every team members on this attack team are outspoken and fiercely dominating. Mori's case of extreme shyness and his inability to communicate his opinion made his stick out like a sore thumb and unsurprisingly he was being picked on by everyone. It's disheartening and scary to see how selfish humans could be. Makes me wish Mori could just ditch the team and go solo on his mission to conquer K2. This team is poisonous. Deadly even before setting a foot any where near K2. Frankly, it is almost suicidal to be apart of this team as no one could be trusted. 

While at work Mori was being pressured by unwanted attention from a persistent female colleague. She's one hell of a creepy character. Both her and Shirai is just as rotten inside although look wise the latter character has the face of an angel while this new female character was the complete opposite. Ugh.

It's evident that Mori is beginning to mature as he gain more experience with handling people around him. I guess being on a team helped his progress somewhat. I do hope that he would be more assertive in future. He is stubborn as hell yes, but when it comes to voicing his opinions he is hopeless. Blindly following orders from others while traveling on a mountain is a very bad idea.

هر جلد دارک‌تر از جلد قبل.
واقعا نمی‌فهمم این چه کرمیه ویزمدیا مانگاها رو دو جلد یکی می‌کنه.
در واقع جلد ۳ رو خوندم که میشه جلد ۵ و ۶ ژاپنی.

[Dani Wladdimiro · Rating 2 out of 5]

Los personajes se me hacían insoportables, el ambiente en torno a ellos era tóxico, asfixiante y sin mayor valor que forzar la relación entre ellos. Así mismo todo lo que sucedía en sus vidas, como la chica que conoce Mori o el tener que tomar decisiones por su propia cuenta, lo entiendo, hace un excelente desarrollo de personaje, pero al mismo tiempo se hace muy pesado todo ese viaje. Habiendo terminado la serialización, entiendo perfectamente la búsqueda de este tramo del manga, y la respeto, porque al fin de cuentas sufrí con el protagonista lo ocurrido, pero no quita que terminaba siendo más una obligación el querer acompañar a Mori en su búsqueda (cómo él lo hace con sus camaradas) que un gozo de la lectura.

In this volume, everyone walks all over Mori and his inability to assert himself is screwing over every part of his life. So maybe he learns to stand up for himself (yay) and maybe that doesn't matter because screw you (boo).

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

best tome so far Mori finally talking ✌🏻

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

Really don't like the other people that Mori is climbing with. They're a bunch of jerks, but that is apparently normal in this manga. I just feel so bad for Mori, and I am routing for him.

[Julie T.]

An ugly world filled with ugly people (physically and spiritually) who think ugly thoughts and do ugly deeds. One of the most unpleasant things I've read. I don't see the world this way.
