Even though her one-shot Koe no Katachi won critical acclaim, it took a longsome law suit to get a magazine to publish it because of its socio-critical theme. Eventually, it was featured in the February edition of Bessatsu Shounen Magazin, where it placed first, and later in the 12th edition of the 2013 Weekly Shounen Magazine.

She has also collaborated with UBUKATA Tow for the manga adaption of his novel Mardock Scramble.

[Carlos J. Eguren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Otro volumen más de un manga que sigue demostrando que es capaz de superar su premisa para crear un importante entramado mitológico y fantástico alrededor de su protagonista y sus capacidades.
Oima se supera en cada nuevo volumen, tanto en guion como en dibujo; en este volumen la autora desarrolla el trama de la herejía y y el destino del protagonista Inmo cuando empieza a comunicarse con los golpeadores.
Una trama entretenida, mágica y que además logra desarrollar todo el potencial de esta gran historia.
En definitiva, con muchas ganas de leer el décimo volumen.

Otro tomo de transición, pero este trae cosas interesantes a la mesa, como los nuevos poderes de Fushi y la evolución de Bon.
Está buena la cosa.

I don’t know what it was about this volume that I didn’t enjoy as much as the previous ones. I ended up not being able to justify a five star rating. That being said, I still love this series. I think this volume may be a set-up arc because we delve into more of what Fushi is capable of and get to see lots of Nokker fights. I just wasn’t moved by anything in particular...
Still, I can’t wait to get my hands on the next volume of this series!

[Rod Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

A transition volume has the previous arc ending with a whimper as pieces are shuffled around to launch the next arc. I was a little more confused than normal in several sections as Fushi floundered about meeting new characters, dealing with memory loss, and training to expand his power set. This may be the weakest volume of an otherwise intriguing series.

[Remxo · Rating 5 out of 5]

At this point I just want this series to go on forever. The story and its main character continue to evolve is such an interesting way and it would allows for Oima to explore a lot different metaphysical and mythical concepts and stories within this universe.

The art is stunning as always. This is one of the few times I wished a Manga was in technicolor.

[Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great ending to the Bennett Church arc, looks like it's only one more arc before the end of "part 1" so I'm excited. The pacing faltered a bit in this volume but overall managed to provide a satisfying resolution and transition into the next arc. I love the direction things are going.

As a side one, the cover for this volume seems a bit premature.

Un tono algo más fácil de querer que el anterior. Sigue estando muy por detrás de lo que los primeros tomos lograban, pero es cierto que por fin ha arreglado Ôima al personaje de Bon con un arco lógico que lo lleva a ser mejor persona. Aun así, siento que nada avanza realmente y que los secundarios parecen de relleno, especialmente esa Phoke tan extrañamente cambiada (en serio, ¿no valía su aspecto inicial? De hecho, ¿cómo coño se consigue semejante figura solo con no comer?). Kahaku cumple la función de plot device y Bon, el único con auténtica importancia, parece pensado a posteriori en la trama. Así, el único interesante vuelve a ser Inmo, que va desarrollándose y por fin comienza a reflexionar sobre sus poderes. Un poco tarde, la verdad, y todavía no entiendo el porqué de muchas situaciones y elementos narrativos (por ejemplo, ¿por qué el Observador ayuda cuando le da la gana al guion porque no sabe cómo avanzar la trama?). Lo mismo con Ato, que parece metida con calzador tanto como las dudas de Inmo en la ciudad. No niego que todo esto sea lógico, tan solo creo que Ôima se inventa excusas narrativas en vez de plantear un argumento coherente. Todo esto debería haber ocurrido mucho antes.

Pero bueno, no niego que al menos tiene su punto de entretenimiento. Este manga me produce tanta apatía que lo único que puedo hacer es disfrutar del dibujo, que no está nada mal, y ver qué nuevos conceptos se le ocurren a Ôima, porque otra cosa no, pero conceptualmente, To Your Eternity está plagado de ideas. Ojalá las aprovechara mejor y no fuese un pastiche narrativo que no hay por dónde cogerlo.

The death of a prince!

Willing to sacrifice himself for his people, family, and he realizes friend Fushi, Prince Bontell Fushi to leave him behind so he can pull off a devilishly good trick to clear his name. However he finds himself unable to renounce Fushi even with his devilish scenario he cooked up so he bravely sets forth to his execution having pride that regardless of his past if he were to die here it would be an honorable death at least. However Fushi has other plans as he explains how he pulled off an amazing rescue before a huge crowd of onlookers and making it look like Bon really had perished in the end (yeah misleading headline but it is sort of true anyway.) Now officially dead Prince Bon is free to go as he pleases and changes who he is on the outside but he still has some things he has to change internally as well before he joins Fushi to stop the nokker attacks as best as he can along side Kahaku and the others working with them. However the nokkers are learning and they let Fushi know not only that they will be targeting a major city in a year but that they know of Kahaku and the nokker he has been using since it was given to him as leader of the Guardians.

Honestly with the younger looking Pioran on the cover I thought she might show up in the story but I didn't see anything about that though there is some notice of the older version of her as Fushi has to fight the desperation as the nokkers' more advanced strategies have started taking his shapes and memories of those in his past once more. Thankfully he has friends that are on his side to help and he meets another interesting pair as he does his best to enhance his own abilities so he is not outshined by his ever evolving enemies.

[Ren (A Bookish Balance) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume didn't quite grab my interest. Also, the nokkers really don't make sense and that makes them really uninteresting as villains.

[onion64 · Rating 4 out of 5]

oh my god i am obsessed with this series after that volume

[DonutKnow · Rating 2 out of 5]

This series is so weird… but it sometimes has some meaningful messages about life 🤔

[Kristin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume marks a transition into Fushi preparing for an all out war with the nokkers.

I much preferred the slice of life storytelling of earlier volumes, where you were introduced to character quickly but they were all so well-defined it was genuinely painful to lose them. Now Fushi is teamed up with the least interesting characters in the series and everything is moving so quickly, with Fushi morphing bodies just as fast, that it's both confusing and a little soulless.

[Emmy · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much has happened over the last two volumes. 8 and 9 are by far the best in the series. This volume in particular really sits with you after you finish reading it.

[Dani Wladdimiro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hay dos partes en este volumen, comenzando por la resolución del príncipe Bon, y luego el entrenamiento de Fushi. La primera parte me decepcionó un poco, porque al fin de cuentas se perdió toda la discusión que podría haberse hecho sobre la identidad de género y sexualidad: Bon se transformó en un chico normal, y Todo es una chica normal, como tampoco se ha vuelto a tocar el amor de Kahaku. Se podría haber aprovechado tanto eso, y lo veía venir que no seguiría por ese rumbo, pero valoro de todas maneras que un Shonen se toquen esos temas, porque el tema no es sobre relaciones homosexuales (entre hombres), sino sobre el amor trans-género, y eso lo encuentro maravilloso, pero como digo, quedó en poco y nada. Me hubiera gustado que se adentrara más en el tema, porque poner el tema sobre qué es amar, qué es ser mujer u hombre, qué es la sexualidad, era perfecto para un personaje como Fushi, dado que él es como una hoja en blanco, por lo tanto las y los protagonistas deberían haber explicado lo que sentían. Bon no le importaba amar a Todo si era hombre o mujer, igualmente Todo con Bon, siendo que utilizaba vestimenta femenina, esos temas podrían haberlos discutido, o como Kahaku le explica sus sentimientos teniendo la forma del chico de pelo blanco, eso habría sido potente, dado que independiente si era hombre o mujer, él sentía una gran atracción, e incluso en un momento lo dice, sobre si es chico igual lo seguirá amando. Pero bueno, terminó todo en poco y nada, aun así es curioso que mangas que tratan de salir de su zona de confort le pedimos mucho más que otros mangas que no se arriesgan a algo diferente y siguen reproduciendo los estereotipos de esta sociedad.

La segunda parte me gustó mucho más narrativamente, porque trató de ordenar la trama que se había perdido por parte de la mangaka, teniendo la clásica fase de entrenamiento. Es así como nos deja distintas reflexiones, un poco superfluas (y dudo que las exploremos) sobre el potencial e injerencia de Fushi en la sociedad, por ejemplo ser un mesías generaría un desequilibrio en el status-quo. Esos diálogos donde piensa una señora que quiere tener control, es efectivo, Fushi tiene todas las capacidades para cambiar la economía, sin ningún problema, podría tener un poder político gigante, pero la mangaka no quiere meterse en ese tema, quizá serían demasiados hilos. De todas maneras, por mi mejor, porque ahora viene una parte que me interesa mucho, los lazos que tiene con lo que estuvieron. Todavía no logro entender bien como funcionan todas las habilidades, trato de leer varias veces las explicaciones, y me cuesta deducir todo lo que quieren transmitir, aun así me gusta mucho lo que quieren plantear. Veremos como avanza la historia y tengo mucha ansiedad por la evolución de los poderes de nuestre protagoniste.

Fushi breaks Chabbo and Iris/Todo out of prison and fakes their deaths, with Bon volunteering to stay behind to make sure the Church of Bennett doesn't punish the rest of Uralis. Bon is about to be executed but is saved by Fushi at the last minute. He starts to form a found family with Iris and Chabbo, but ends up deciding to help Fushi and Kahaku. Kahaku attempts to kill the Nokker in his left arm, but the Nokker stops him and writes a message explaining the Nokker's motives and warning of a major Nokker attack. Fushi tries to stop it, but doesn't save everyone and loses a few forms in the process, including Gugu, Parona, and Ligard. He then goes to get them back by fighting a Nokker in a swamp, and while he defeats it, all he gets is told that if he can make large things, he will be better at sensing Nokkers. So Fushi starts training to make a large boat to push his limits, while Kahaku and Bon help a large city prepare for the next large scale Nokker attack.

Looking back, there's a lot going on, including some new characters that I didn't put in the summary, but there are some things that are confusing in ways that don't help the plot and some things that are just bad.

One big issue is that I'm not clear on what prompted Kahaku's Nokker to start betraying the other Nokkers by giving information to Fushi. Initially, it can be written off as a desire to survive, but it hits a point where the other Nokkers start feeding false information to Kahaku's Nokker, and it has to regain Fushi and Bon's trust by helping Kahaku defeat another. Fushi's ability to revive the recently deceased and Bon's decision to hide it from him has been brushed under the rug.

This also resolves Bon and Iris/Todo's romance, and it's not great. A lot of Iris's moments aren't great, which sucks because I liked her in the previous volume. During her captivity in the Church of Bennett, Iris gave part of her share of food to Bon, causing her to lose a lot of weight, which results in her looking a lot like she did in the past, who Bon had a crush on when he was young. Iris's first proper appearance is her talking about her weight loss during captivity with Bon's sister and Fushi in Rean's form, and the whole thing is treated like a cool diet secret (like that infamous fake magazine that came with a Barbie), which was uncomfortable. When Iris confirms that she was the girl sewing before, Bon initially freaks out saying that girl would never climb a castle wall to deliver something, gain a bunch of weight, then pretend to be man so she could serve as the prince's chair. He later apologizes, but I felt Iris forgave him too quickly.

❌ SPOILER ❌
Tres estrellas. ⭐⭐⭐

Hasta ahora es el tomo más lento que he leído. Sí, hubo peleas interesantes que Fushi tuvo que presenciar, como la de los Knockers invadiendo una iglesia, demostrando la irracionalidad humana fundada por la fe. Pero, casi la mitad del libro era peleas, correr, peleas, discutir, preocuparnos por la fragilidad humana, peleas, etc. Y se detiene cuando el hombre de negro les explica cómo Fushi podría presentir la cercanía de los Knockers. No hay que olvidar que el Knocker de Kahaku nos reveló que las misión de estás criaturas es liberar el alma de la gente, ya que nuestro cuerpo es como una prisión.

Creo que para salvar el tomo sería el increíble desarrollo de Bon, gracias a que fue encarcelado y ya no es un príncipe porque está "muerto", actúa más humilde y con un liderazgo que antes desconocía.

Mis escena favorita es cuando Fushi se fusiona con el barco, convirtiéndose en un montón de ramas y se ve sumamente surrealista, espero que pueda duplicar el barco para lograr ser parte de las cosas y poder presentir a esas criaturas.

Los Knockers quieres destruir Renril, la capital. Así que Fushi tiene tres meses para mejorar sus habilidades.

Vemos como ahora Fushi se cuestiona si lo que quiere es el control sobre las cosas, o en realidad quiere ayuda, esto lo vemos cuando le da dinero a una mujer de la calle y esta se lo avienta negando su ayuda, y luego salva a una niña bañada en lodo.

¡Nuevo personaje, Eko!

Prince Bon and Todo have been captured by the Church of Bennett, but Fushi has escaped from his metal prison, and comes to save them. But Prince Bon must make a hard decision in order to keep Fushi, and the others, safe.

And the Nokkers won't be long dormant. Where will they attack next, and how much time does Fushi have to prepare?



I really liked this volume.

I loved the development of poor Prince Bon, although I'm sad he won't get to be as campy and flamboyant as before.

I'm also glad that we are once more getting to see a development in Fushi's powers, as well as those of the Nokkers. It's also interesting to finally get to know something about why the Nokkers are attacking in the first place.

Also, who was that strange girl we met at the end there? I'm interested to see what her role ends up being.

My favourite thing about this volume, however, was the horse.

I love that horse.

Kill the horse, and I will riot.

[The Book Dragon]

Fushi escapes, rescues Todo/Iris and Chabby, Bon stays behind to face the Church of Bennett. Then Fushi and crew manage to fake Bon's execution with a corpse double and now he has been dubbed Baron Springroll. Then they start talking with the nokker in Kahaku's arm. And then all hell breaks loose as nokkers attack the Church of Bennett and Fushi loses a bunch of his vessels.

The nokkers leave with an ominous warning that they're going to attack the nearby kingdom of Renril in one year. The team splits up to prepare in their own ways and Fushi makes a new friend who can't talk and I really hope they teach her some sort of sign language. Also, I think Pioran got turned into the horse.

[mayday · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ah, it's Prince Bon, the Jesus wannabe. Dang this character is silly but powerful. Even Hataku being good looking and proclaiming his undying love to Fushi even him being male is pale in comparison to Bon.

Anyway, Hataku's is the only Hayase's descendant that I could stand. Hayase herself being lunatic like that.

AND SUDDENLY NOAH ARK?!

[Littlebookterror · Rating 4 out of 5]

You can tell we are gearing up for some sort of finale.
I can only reiterate that I love watching Fushi grow and learn in this world and I feel proud like a parent of what he has accomplished.
And can I just say, I thought the smaller Nokker in Kahaku and his ancestors was a plot hole and would not turn into this?

[Arsenic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Vraiment mon manga préféré du moment. Même si je comprends pas toute l'histoire avec les knockers et le but de l'homme en noir, j'ai toujours plaisir et émotions en lisant les aventures d'Imm et de ses amis. Mention spéciale pour Boshen qui se révèle être encore plus cool que prévu. :)

[Harley · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel like the translation in some of these could use more work. I think stuff is getting lost.

Also I really am not a fan of the whole religion angle. This story started out in such isolation and its become this really different thing that I dont think I like.

[Felicia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Each volume has its own meaning. Reading is always a pleasure. Fushi learns every day. The Knockers reveal their goals. They seem to be driven by a reasonable goal, but Fushi will always choose humanity. Bon is a special person.
