many thoughts, head so full with ‘???’ as to why any of this was needed. i’m confused but also know exactly what happened at the same time.

This is another wonderful volume full of action. As the action escalates, and after a lot of twists and turns, we still have to get a resolution as the action moves onto the next volume, and that's alright. The art is great, and the action is frantic.
I have always loved comics, and I can and I have. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more. You should also read what you love, and I hope you will always love it. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.

this series is starting to get a bit off for me. i kind of don't like where it's heading right now 😞

Ah, Platinum End you are so weird.
So, something finally happens in this one which is nice. Saki does something and is more than "the girl“ and there is one very funny joke involving a Trump Mask. The art is obviously beautiful as always. Hajime and the angels are probably the most interesting characters at this point. The main characters unfortunately stay very bland, especially lead Mirai.
The dialogue can be so awkward. I really have no other word to describe it. It’s the weirdest kind of exposition and oversharing in the most inappropriate situations (so great you taught your little sister how to count while she was in the bathtub, Kanade. Why does that matter in the middle of a battle?)
The most irritating aspect however is again the use of color. It’s not as confusing as it was with the wannabe Power Rangers in Volume 3 (or was it 4?) but it’s still irritating. Why put so much emphasis on color, if you know exactly it will be published in black and white?
Oh well, it continues to be just interesting enough to read on, but we certainly don’t have another smash hit like Death Note here.

This series continues to wow me with the angelic artwork. It's in stark contrast to all the mecha going on now; it's an interesting juxtaposition. I'm more interested in the angels, myself.
Congrats to Revel in this one! So proud! And Saki is actually useful and helps out a ton! Proud of her too!
Story is kind of dragging at this point. Getting redundant. I think it's time to wrap it up. Kanade is a sucky villain, he just floats around or sits in his little chair being grumpy and generally without any other personality traits. I mean Hajime is a more compelling character than him (I kind of like him as an ally, even though it's only because of the red arrow).

I'll keep going with it, because of Death Note, but this volume was all over the place. Hard to follow action scenes, very little actual plot, and not enough explanation given to some of the new powers gained by our candidates and Angels.

Another amazing work by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, an amazing collaboration.

Continuando justo tras el final del volumen anterior, la entrega número 6 de Platinum End supone el tankôbon más adrenalínico y emocionante de la serie hasta el momento. Kakehashi decide entrar en la casa del espejo junto a Mukaido con una idea para que ambos y su familia no mueran de forma inminente tras caer en la trampa de Hajime. Cuando Metropoliman cree que ha ganado y se va a poder deshacer de los dos candidatos a dios, la estelar aparición de Saki cambiará las tornas. Un volumen en el que Ohba plantea un juego de giros y estrategias continuo, además de situaciones intensas y batallas espectaculares.
Esta entrega de Platinum End por fin ha explotado un poco todo lo que puede darnos. Juega con sus normas continuamente para hacer al lector pasar una página tras otra de forma intensa y descubrir cómo van a conseguir salir de este embrollo. Esta parte me ha recordado mucho a la obra magna del tandém, Death Note y sus magníficos duelos intelectuales, aunque sus personajes no llenen tanto las páginas. En esta ocasión, el arte de Obata sigue siendo hermoso, pero creo que las partes de acción están un poco desordenadas y requieren más esfuerzo del habitual para seguirlas. Lo que me fastidia es el componente ecchi e innecesario fanservice que toma esta entrega ¿Es solo porque se publica en la Jump SQ? No lo sé, pero realmente me saca un poco de la lectura, y es una pena.

La batalla alcanza un punto álgido, y el volumen se para en el momento más importante... con ganas de saber cómo sigue!

things are getting heated up

Es brutal el giro que da, la última parte del tomo te mantiene en vilo porque sabes que algo tiene que pasar porque si no, es imposible que esto pueda continuar, pero nunca esperas que sea eso. Además, los autores saben cómo darle esos giros y me encanta que sus protagonistas sean tan inteligentes.

It’s getting harder to follow and now I feel like the story isn’t going anywhere.

Confusing but then also not?

This volume is totally ruined by the fact that I was forced to see an underwear shot of a little girl. It was absolutely unnecessary and not needed at all
August 10, 2021
This plot is just so messy, it really doesn't feel as put together as "Death Note" did.
February 13, 2022
More cool looking action with nothing of substance happening...

Platinum End, Vol. 6 continues where the previous tankobon left off and contains the next four chapters (16–19) of the on-going manga series.
Mirai Kakehashi is outnumbered with Kanade Uryu as Metropoliman and Sokotani Hajime. Instead of fighting the duo, Mirai Kakehashi steps into the mirror house and becomes trapped himself. The trap is devious one must be in constant motion or are killed. Therefore, Mirai Kakehashi and Nanato Mukaido picked up his daughter and wife respectively and take flight with their angel wings. They will continue to fly until they tire out, but hopefully before then they would find a way of escape.
Meanwhile Revel is having difficulty taking the mantle of Angel of Knowledge away from Baret. He tries to absorb as much knowledge he could, but he could retain it and realizes he could not replace Baret as Angel of Knowledge. Watching Saki Hanakago, his charge, keeping vigil for her comrades, who wants to be in the field, but can't, made him empathize with her to the point that he shed tears – a feat though impossible for angels. He was promoted to Angel of Emotions and gave his wing abilities Saki Hanakago – the first thing she did was to shoot a red arrow in Sakotani Hajime, made him fall in love with her, and to free her comrades within the trap.
Just as they are freed and Nanato Mukaido's family is safe, Kanade Uryu as Metropoliman returns (he left shortly after Mirai Kakehashi enter the trap) with three allies he had charmed with a red arrow. One of them is Bakumatsu Ryuji – a military agent who disappeared with a great number of weapons. Another is Kohinata Fuyuko a scientist that uses biological weapons to kill. The third is an unknown child reportedly with psychic powers, but wears an enormous mask of Donald Trump.
Prior to fighting the battle, Mirai Kakehashi stabs Saki Hanakago, who stabbed Nanato Mukaido, who stabs Mirari Kakehashi with red arrows simultaneously. It is a backup measure so that they would not be hit with a red arrow from Metropoliman or his associates and become succumb to the enemy. Sokotani Hajime was able to doge the firepower of Bakumatsu Ryuji and managed to sever his hand with his sword and Mirai Kakehashi used his white arrow on the biological weapon that Kohinata Fuyuko tried to use, by killing the living matter in the weapon.
Tsugumi Ohba has written another wonderful tankobon. I particularly liked how Revel was promoted – it was emotionally poignant and was depicted well. The battle was depicted well and I was somewhat glad that it was a one-on-one match, because if they went all out – following eight combatants would be difficult on the page. However, having it being a one-on-one match does not seem very realistic. As always, Takeshi Obata's art is simply amazing and accentuates the text rather well.
All in all, Platinum End, Vol. 6 is a wonderful continuation of the series and I can't wait to read more. I'm intrigued to find out how the story continues.

Esta historia aunque a ratos mejora, sigue sin ser consistente. Y no sólo eso, ha perdido el gancho con el que me había agarrado y ahora sólo la leo por compromiso.
Tanto la premisa como los personajes y el combate, dejan mucho que desear cuando la comparamos inevitablemente con Death Note. Como había mencionado en mi reseña del primer volumen, es imposible que no las comparemos porque Platinum End está diseñada para ser el espejo de Death Note: contrarias en muchos aspectos pero de cierta manera el mismo tipo de historia.
Este tomo se centra en los protagonistas tratando de salir de la trampa con la que Metropoliman y Hajime lograron atrapar a Mukaido y a Mirai. Todo el tomo trata de esto y aunque tiene algunas sorpresas, es bastante predecible en general.
Mirai ha mejorado en la manera en la que utiliza sus poderes, pero sigue sin querer matar a nadie y se sigue sin justificar eso de manera orgánica.
No hay desarrollo de personajes significativo en este tomo. Eso es lo más increíble del tomo, es pura acción y sin embargo no te atrapa o te asombra. Normalmente los tomos que están repletos de acción los utilizan para enganchar al lector y aquí no sucede.
Si mis teorías son correctas esta historia durará 12 tomos, técnicamente vamos a la mitad ¿La historia mejorará lo suficiente para estar a la altura del legado de estos dos autores?

I have enjoyed this series so far, but not as much as any of the previous Ohba/Obata works, this one feels a little too jumbled, maybe too many characters from the start? It seems to employ a similar cat/mouse game from Death Note between the two main characters, but is less gray about who is 'justice.'
I like that the series touches on a range of experiences in the various characters, and how their backgrounds affect their decisions, but again, I feel like this series could do with some more introspection and a tiny bit less fan service and violence.
What I really fear is that this series will just continue to ramp up with new superpowers until it turns into Dragon Ball Z or Naruto and keeps going into the double digits and beyond. One thing I've really enjoyed about Ohba/Obata's series is that they don't drag on, they tell the story, and then it's done. It doesn't turn into arc after arc until the story loses all meaning and all but the most die-hard fans move on to something else.
That said, Platinum End is still a nice series, different from the majority of same-same manga series available.

Una linda chica pura e inocente, en un sensual traje con orejas y cola de gato, el contraste hace que un tipo loco encuentre su razón de vivir, aunque ya fue flechado, y se aviente un discurso sobre la alegría de nacer. Desde el principio que vi ese traje, sabía que no serviría para nada, solo atractivo visual, pero hacerlo demasiado obvio, colmó mi paciencia, además de que la cara de Saki está descubierta, solo la boca no, ¿Qué no estamos en una lucha a muerte dónde es importante que no te identifiquen? Qué absurdo se volvió todo.
Ni hablar de los otros villanos que trajo Poliman con él, dan flojera.
Mirai ni un dedo movió en todo este volumen.
Poliman en cada paso me causa más desagrado, y no porque sea el villano, me refiero al personaje en general.
Me alejaré un tiempo de esta historia, ojalá la pueda retomar, Mirai parace un personaje que puede evolucionar, me gusta su diseño.

With Mukaido's family used as bait he fell into the trap set by Metropoliman in the last volume. To save him and his family Mirai takes a desperate gamble but will it spell doom for all or will a miracle be over due as their speed is the only thing preventing them from being killed right now.
Revel is desperately trying to increase her rank for Saki's sake who wants to be of help but lacks the wings that allow the others to move at insane speeds. However Metropoliman has a few more members then Hajime Sokotani whom he left to watch the one way mirror house and at least two of them get to join the conflict. Just wait till you read how our heroes attempt to overcome impossible odds time and again. :)

Also ich muss gestehen, dass mir die Reihe wirklich nicht mehr so zusagt. Es wird einfach alles bis ins kleinste Detail beschrieben. Leider genau das, was mich schon bei den Vorgängerbänden gelangweilt oder besser gesagt genervt hat. Dieses ganze Taktik und Moralgequatsche über die verschiedenen Pfeile finde ich wirklich langweilig. Leider passiert so anders aber auch nur relativ wenig.
Was allerdings wie immer gut war, war der Zeichenstil, wenn ich auch manche Actionszenen wieder sehr unübersichtlich fand. Hier wird einfach so sehr mit Kontrast und Atmosphäre gespielt.
Story 2,4/5
Zeichenstil 4,0/5
Charaktere 3,0/5
Gesamt 3,0/5

worst volume yet. so boring, odd and awkward dialogue, unnecessary sexualization. only stopped being boring in the last chapter but it was a stupid plot point. i mean (small spoiler) how did she attach that button to her heart like that, and seemingly through both her nipples?? without fuckin dying and probably while on drugs? 2 stars is very generous and it's only cause the art is so good but a lot of this series plot is so dumb it's beyond me that this is the same person who wrote death note. don't know if i'm gonna finish this series, i am curious what will happen next and all that but i also feel like there's so many better ways i could spend my time. are the next vols worth it?
September 19, 2022
Sublime! Ciò che è iniziato nel volume precedente si sviluppa in maniera emozionante, salvataggi all'ultimo minuto, cambi di carte in tavola e soluzioni intelligenti a situazioni impossibili da risolvere... Il duo può calare il livello, ma non si smentisce. Continuano a confezionate albi da tachicardia e non vedo l'ora di proseguire. Menomale che vedo sono "solo" 14 volumi, altrimenti andavo i bancarotta con questo livello di entusiasmo e narrazione.

Probably one of the better volumes since it moved super fast. Watching the two baddies work together is interesting but the twist to turn one against the other was great. The fights are fun even if they're really fast and hard to understand what is happening at times. I hated the whole trapped for 80 pages do something narrative but guess had to. Overall, another solid volume of a decent series.
May 15, 2023
Emozionante a livello angelico (questa affermazione è quasi spoiler). La situazione iniziale era in stallo e non migliora. Molti eventi si avvicendano mantenendo la situazione in stallo. Si scopre quanto è bella e importante la vita e quanto la battaglia rimanga anche molto etico/morale. Sarà mai possibile usare una freccia bianca, per il suo vero scopo, dal protagonista?

I really love the designs on a lot of these characters. The craziness of them fits the characters and the facial emotions match as well which is really cool. Real smart move from red tho. The plot thickens!
January 5, 2024
holy shit, this was so good!! revel, my angel, you slaaayy! 😭 also, what the hell, uryu?! really... like that?! hitting on mirai's angel? what was that, sir? "you're my type of girl, angel" what??? and what the hell is with the trump mask? :))))

Me ha gustado bastante este tomo. Pero ¿qué les pasa con el ecchi en este manga? ¿Es necesario un fanservice tan exagerado y poco elegante?
