This series has totally lost any and all interesting ideas or character complexities ironically gutting itself for shock-value and no other form of substance, no lingering angst just lazy deaths of characters you just met that are vessels for the slaughter that the reader so craves.
I've given this many chances and let a massive amount of flaws slip in search of greater reasons for this thing to exist then just shitty blood splatter boobs and guts, the thing just repeats itself with fresh flesh to act has brand new, poorly defined gruesome segment after the other, lazy writing and total glorification/commodification of it's sloppy premise treating the reader has someone who would watch Death tube, no deaths are treated has tragedy all glimpsed over like minuet details after 1-2 panels even his dad's death seems like a minor inconvenience to the dried out plot.
The most idiotic flaw in this I see is that the main cam dude doesn't give a flying shit that the coo coo yandere quirky tool girl let his little sister he cared so much for die and get brutalized right in front of him while she was sitting in a corner pretending to be beaten up. Don't get me started on the whole pro death tubers shit and the womp womp so called hero is bad actually in the tease for the 8th dogshit. this is so shallow it angers me I've sought out more of this after the shit show that was the fifth volume and makes it hard for me to cling to the previous chapters, was it always this shit and was I totally delusional thinking this was gonna be more then what it so obviously is ?
I'm ashamed I've sat through these and even downloaded some of the panels that looked cool or thought were silly (the book has blunt protection thing & the team up on the carbine lady) but I'm on a site that uplifts smut so it's passable. I'll just go on and read better works like Afro Samurai & Apocalypse Zero that have actual stories, interesting characters to care for and a premise more then "film people die big views big boob death x300 no punchline"
I was sure this was going to be one of those "twists" that the sister is actually a psycho and enjoyed killing her father, and even the father was depraved. I'm so happy it didn't go through that route. It was a common theme in this manga series, so it's nice to know there are some innocence in this twisted manga, when though they died.

Un volume che dire sconvolgente sarebbe poco! Machiya non sa cosa è successo a suo padre e sua sorella; per scoprire la verità si reca alla scuola media che per colpa del professor George L. è diventata un luogo di massacro per la creazione dei video da 15 secondi per Dead Tube. L’uomo adesso ha catturato sua sorella perché vuole che Machiya filmi e sconfigga delle pericolose Dead Tuber. E intanto Mai è scomparsa, imprevedibile come non mai. Un volume molto crudo ed esplicito con molte scene violente e tanti colpi di scena, sopratutto sul finale che spero non sia davvero successo “quello” ma che sia un qualche trucco.... In ogni caso la crudezza mi è piaciuta e non stona anzi, direi che qui si dimostra l’ossessione verso Dead Tube e le terribili conseguenze che porta. Inoltre ci si concentra molto sul personaggio di Machiya e i suoi sentimenti: anche se è il protagonista qui finalmente si apre e si confessa come mai prima d'ora e mi è molto piaciuto. Poi, come dicevo prima, che finale, inaspettato e che mi ha fatto venire una voglia matta di leggere il prossimo volume per vedere cosa succederà (Team Mai sempre e comunque per vostra informazione)
