Plunderer Omnibus #1
Plunderer Omnibus, Vol. 1
In the world of Alcia, where rank is determined by "counts," a young girl named Hina scours the land for the fabled Ace--the legendary hero of the Waste War. With only the last words of her missing mother to guide her search, she wanders from town to town until she meets Rihito, a clownish masked vagrant with a count of -999. Girl-crazy and unpredictable, he's the exact opposite of a hero...or at least, that's how he appears to be...

No sé como sentirme al respecto.
Es un manga con un mundo lo suficientemente interesante y un arte muy, pero muy bonito. Pero por los dioses, qué incómodo es presenciar tanto acoso sexual!!! Tantas bromas machistas y comentarios fuera de lugar. Si existía la menor posiblidad en mi cuerpo de querer seguir con esta historia, se anuló en el momento que ese tipo de contenido invadió una premisa que podría resultar interesante.
Sin duda alguna, si quitaran el innecesario acaso, esta historia podría brillar a niveles catastróficos.

AMAMOS AQUÍ!! 😍❤️
Agarraré este volumen para propósito de reseña de toda la histaria.
Quedé un poco obssesed cuando me vi el anime y como ya no hay más episodios, yo necesitaba más y decidí leer el manga.
El anime es muy fiel y la animación es muy buena pero el manga es SUPERIOR el arte es increíble. 🤩
La trama es muy interesante y en el primer volumen todavía es introductorias, pero conforme avanza la historia va mejorando, hay muchos más desarrollo de los personajes y se vuelve increíble.
HISTORIA
Está ambientado en una era post apocalíptica 300 años después de una guerra que casi destruye al mundo donde los héroes fueron los Aces Legendarios.
Por lo que el calendario se reinicia y ahora estamos en el año 305, donde el mundo es gobernado por números todos tiene un contador en su cuerpo y éste aumenta o disminuye dependiendo de cuál sea la causa, ya sea los kilómetros que recorrieron, las veces que mintieron etc. Cuando el contador cae en cero ellos son arrastrados al abismo.
La historia comienza con una chica llamada Hina que unos años atrás su mamá cae al abismo, pero antes de ser arrastrada le da una ballot y dice que se la entregue al Ace Legendario y así comienza la aventura de esta chica, hasta que se encuentra a un hombre misterioso, con una máscara y un poco pervertido.
La historia tiene bastantes plot twists que me dejaron PUFFF MY MIND IS BLOWN.🤯🤯
Reí, sufrí, lloré y amé como loca, de verdad tiene partes muy buenas, niveles de poder alucinantes y algunas batallas increíbles y otras que me quedaron a deber.
Y también me quedó a deber la conclusión de la historia, bajó la intensidad.
PERSONAJES
Tenemos como personajes principales a
Licht/Rihito Bach: El protagonista y mi personaje favorito, el amor de mi vida, el más poderoso, amble, guapo y pervertido, pero miren yo no estoy para quejarme, me dejo que me meta mano.😏😍
También es uno de los que más ha sufrido, tiene un pasado muy trágico y tormentoso y él sólo merece ser feliz porque es un ser bueno lleno de luz.
Hina Farrow: Es la protagonista femenina y el interés amoroso de Rihito. Es la portadora de una ballot original y el único recuerdo que conserva de su madre.
Su origen es interesante que te deja con la boca abierta.
Jail: Es uno de los teniente sde las fuerzas armadas y con una gran convicción el cual es su contador, al principio es un antagonista para convertirse en un gran aliado y de los personajes principales y más importantes.
Nana: Es la amiga de Licht, un personaje clave con un poder de suma importancia en la historia. LA AMO ES LA MEJOR!!
Tokikaze: Es mi segundo personaje favorito, lo amo con todo mi kokorito, no saben cuántas lagrimas derramé por él, si alguien ha sufrido es él. Su contador es cuantos seres querido ha matado.
El merece toda la felicidad del mundo también. 😍❤️😭
Entre él y Rihito se llevaron mi corazón, mis emociones y mi paz mental. Su bromance es TOP.🔝
Los otros personajes secundarios también son muy buenos, me gustaron y complementan muy ben la historia.
Es el primer manga que leo completo y aunque no fue el mejor final quedé satisfecha y siempre lo voy atesorar porque me dejó momentos memorables y espero con todo mi ser que adapten al anime la segunda parte y que la animación la haga justicia al manga.

Some uncomfortable fanservice ("She must want us to see her panties because she's wearing a short skirt!") mars this otherwise interesting fantasy/sci fi adventure.

Okay, well the world of Plunderer seems like a video game. Everyone has a number somewhere on their body. The number can represent many things. Hina’s is based on movement, and goes up by one for every hundred kilometers she travels. Licht’s drops by one every time he's rejected by a girl. It's a rather nonsensical gimmick if you stop and think about it. Clearly some rules are more likely to earn positive increments than others. If anyone's counter drops to zero or below, hands rise up from the ground to drag them down to the Abyss. The exact nature of the Abyss and what happens there are not revealed in this volume. There are stories of a great war three hundred years ago that was brought to an end by legendary warriors known as Aces. What are the chances, do you think, that at least one of those Aces will show up in the current story?
So the first character we meet is Hina. She's on a quest to find a man known as “The Fabled Ace.” She's been searching ever since her mother disappeared into the Abyss, and was apparently raised in sufficient isolation that everyone she meets has a need to explain how the numbers and so on work. It's almost literally like a video game, in which the early moments are mostly spent on tutorials giving you a background on the rules of the game. The first two people she meets are Licht, an itinerant pervert who always wears a mask, and Nana, a woman with implausible breasts.
I may as well level with you. The fan service gets awfully thick in this one. I honestly feel a bit unclean for having read it. It gets pretty grossly exploitive in spots. You have been warned.
So, overall, this is pretty trashy stuff. I was originally considering two stars--the art, at least, is fairly competent. But then I hit the end of chapter five. And, you know what? That was a scene worth reading. It's an honest to God character moment in which we learn something about someone that allows us to appreciate them more. It's handled reasonably deftly, and it definitely made me smile. And the end of the book is pretty damn intriguing actually. I really do want to find out what happens next.
So, it's mostly trashy, but with the capacity to pleasantly surprise me just when I think I have it pegged. That's worth another star, I think. I don't know that I outright recommend this--it's definitely not for everyone--but you could certainly do worse, manga-wise.

I was very interested in this after seeing trailers for the anime and, then reading the actual manga description/plot line.
This ended being the first manga, and book in general, that I did not finish. There was a lot of sexual harassment and a sexual assault (attempt? or did it happen?), and that was just in the first 3 chapters.

The amount of sexual assault is way too high.

Goddamit, Plunderer! I wanted to like you! Your world-building looks so interesting. Why all the perverts joke? Why the gratuitous rape scene? I was rooting for you! This sucks!

The story is good, but the fan service detracts from the story and is uncomfortable at times. Plunderer has potential though, and I liked the art.

Completely confused in the beginning but I hear its end pretty well.

Ich lese schon beinahe 20 Jahre Mangas. Ich bin einige Klischees gewöhnt - aber wtf war das? So etwas Mieses habe ich seit "Devils Line" nicht mehr zu Gesicht bekommen! Die ganzen sexuellen Übergriffe gehen hier zu weit - insbesondere da sie nur für die Comedy da sind. Das Schlimmste? Sie kommen vom männlichen Protagonisten und ich nehme an, dass er auch der LoveInterest ist. Dazu kommt, dass die Prota so strunzenblöd ist, dass ic mich frage, wie sie so lange in der Welt überlebt hat. Wirklich. Sie kennt nicht mal das Prinzip, das in dieser Welt über Leben und Tod entscheidet (Zahlen auf der haut). Oh und es gibt eine Szene mit Tentakel, die übertrieben sexuell aufgeladen ist, Warum. Das ist kein Echhi-Manga!

Confusing, intresting, too much fan-servce at times, and pretty art work.
Picked this up because i saw a pre-veiw for the anime and it looked good. The manga was okay, the plot is intresting, as is the world with the numbers. It can do with out the fan servce, it isn't needed in this. The ending was like what the heck!? NOT WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTING! You and the charcters are thinking one thing but really its not and it makes NO sense. I will have to pick up the next book to figure out what is going on. I am hoping it will not be all over the place like this one seemed to be.

Mildly interesting if not overly generic fantasy story. I found the count system interesting but poorly explained. The series is marred by fan service and seems to be setting up a harem, although I understand this is not ultimately the case. In an attempt to introduce more characters, the story veers wildly off course and there’s no attempt to develop the main characters or their relationships. Despite all this I kept going, and oh, oh boy, does it get stupid...

Would rate this higher but the level of sexual harassment is BEYOND everything! Story was good so far, can’t wait to read the rest.

Imagine the finest meal possible: the tastiest cake, the most succulent steak, the crispest vegetables... whatever. It looks and smells like a million billion dollars, and you can't begin to imagine how wonderful it will taste.
Now imagine, as the servers bring it out to you and set it on the table, they then pull down their pants and piss on the food.
This is what reading this tripe felt like. I wanted to give the anime a chance, because the premise sounds like something amazing, with so much potential to explore. Yet, as soon as it got started, the very first girl we meet is VIOLENTLY MOLESTED, by the villain AND the "hero." I started reading the manga just to confirm this wasn't just the anime being anime—nope, it's fairly faithful to the story (though, of course, the anime bumps up the nonconsensual molestation to *just* short of "actual" rape).
Look, Japan. I get you love this one joke, and it's the mainstay of almost everything you put out. However, it's the worst, oldest joke, and some of us are super tired of it. I don't even mind fan service (I read Hiro Mashima's stuff!), but STARTING your series with this trash is the fastest way to ensure I never give you any money, ever. (Hooray for sometimes being able to read for free!)
Also, just conceptually: Hina has gone through the effort to up her count to 441 by walking more than 44,100 KILOMETERS in search of this hero. Based on the system, that's a smart plan, because it doesn't seem like her count would ever be in danger of getting to zero! However, she somehow managed to travel all this distance and still be completely naïve about how the count system works (much less her ballot), managed to be extremely gullible (falling victim to the fake hero), and had absolutely zero defences when her very life was threatened.
The hero being a raging pervert is also a trope that can get buried forever, too—how do you possibly justify a hero being just short of the worst kind of villain? I don't care if he came to save her life, if he's only going to turn around and molest her (again). This is not "entertainment" I find entertaining.
I know defenders will just say, "If you don't like it, don't read/watch it!" Believe me, I won't. I just wish I could do more than ineffectually complain about it in a review, because this WILL encourage some horrible person to think that this treatment of other people is okay, because the HERO does it! (Excuse me if I don't trust literally every person to not be horrible; evidence unfortunately shows there are far too many horrible people that just need any excuse to be their horrible selves.)

This was... uh... yeah. It's been a while since a manga made me cringe this hard and skeeved me out so much.
The art was pretty good even if the framing of some scenes made me cringe. The characters were good when a couple of them weren't skeeving me out. There were points I laughed way harder than I probably should have (the Sergeant Major's falling for Mr. McPervy Pudding, and later the drinking contest). The fight scenes were actually really good and dynamic without the weird angles and jumbled layouts of other fan-servicey series. The premise for this world, with its seemingly arbitrary "counts" ruling the social hierarchy, is fascinating, the pacing makes for a real page-turner, and the cliff-hanger at the end of this volume is definitely going to make me read the next volume despite the flaws.
But uh... yeah, there was a lot of sexual assault in this omnibus, and a whole lot of sexual harassment that just made me really uncomfortable. The fact that Minazuki-sensei acknowledges it (like the one female character seeking a promotion just so she can get out of the ultra-ultra-mini-even-by-anime-standards-skit into a pair of pants, or another female character commenting that are gross as they grope her) fairly often doesn't help. If I'm feeling generous, I might say some of these incidents were supposed to be satire, but many of these are framed in... not that way. It... it's a lot to get through.
So yeah. Two stars (would give 2.5 if I could) but still going to check out the next volume. Even though I had to put it down more than a few times, it really kept me coming back.

I read this in 2019 and apparently reviewed the wrong version of it. Here is my OG review:
Ok, so I read this yesterday while sitting in a Barnes & Noble waiting to get a call about my car's wheel rim getting fixed in a town several states from home while worrying that I wouldn't be able to get home that night and feed my cats. The blurb seemed interesting so I picked it up and sat in a chair away from the shelf which was a big mistake. I had been dancing and drinking the night before at a wedding so I didn't want to get up and exchange it for something different. It's super problematic with it's fanservice. So much sexual assault and harassment. I kind of hate myself because despite that I enjoyed the manga but I can't in good conscience give this a higher rating. Anyway I ended up reading the entire thing while waiting and bought it and the 2nd one because a) I always feel bad for reading an entire book at a bookstore without buying it and b) it ends on a wtf kind of cliffhanger and I had to know what happened next. It kind of reminds me of Trigun (which is one of my favorite shows) if Vash was a serial sexual assaulter. Honestly, I probably shouldn't have bought the two volumes but I thought the story was interesting and wanted to read more.

Der Zeichenstil ist klar und sauber ausgearbeitet und gerade die Action Szenen haben einiges an Details zu bieten. Doch auch den Personen und deren Kleidung mangelt es nicht an Präzision.
Wie ich mich zum Inhalt äußern soll, weiß ich noch nicht so richtig, denn der Rahmen der Story ist äußerst interessant und zieht mich durchaus in seinen Bann.
Auch wurden im ersten Band schon genug Köder gelegt, um neugierig zu sein, wo das hinführt und was das alles bedeutet.
Zu den Charakteren kann man noch nicht wirklich viel sagen, denn Hina ist noch sehr blass und Licht ein storybedingtes Mysterium.
Doch es gibt wieder einmal ein ganz großes Manko und das ist der Fanservice. Ich finde ihn hier tatsächlich etwas viel und übertrieben, und finde, er stört mir die coole Handlung irgendwie.
Jedoch bleibt das alles in allem mein einziger, wirklicher Kritikpunkt, denn alles andere kann und wird sich wahrscheinlich entwickeln, denn irgendwo muss man schließlich anfangen.

Manga davvero molto interessante. Un'ambientazione piuttosto realistica nella quale non mancano persone straordinarie, in un mondo in cui ogni persona ha un counter sul proprio corpo che conta qualcosa. Potresti ad esempio avere un counter che aumenta se cucini un buon piatto e che diminuisce se cucini un cattivo piatto.
Il principio è sempre lo stesso, aumentare il proprio counter per poter dare ordini a persone con counter inferiori, scommettere i propri punti ed evitare di raggiungere lo 0, perché una volta raggiunti lo 0 si viene risucchiati nell'abisso.
Il primo volume è una grande introduzione che spiega il funzionamento del mondo del manga e devo ammettere che è parecchio intrigante.
Un po' di comicità, idiozia, sentimenti e scene abbastanza ecchi (nulla di visibile) , senza dimenticare azione ed un forte senso di avventura.

The art, world, and story would have made this a 4, but the constant objectification of women as a joke really made me consider putting this down. I like the concept of different activities increasing a person's number and the danger of letting it fall to zero. The ballots are still a bit of a mystery regarding why they work and how they give extra powers.
Litch is a typical hot, tortured soldier who is way older than he looks (possibly), which makes his behavior towards women even worse. So far, none of the women seem to have any personality or special skills; they're just a short skirt with legs.
The cliffhanger ending was a good surprise and is mainly the only reason I'm considering continuing on.

Man what a crazy couple volumes in this omnibus. The art is exactly what I expect from Suu Minazuki, absolutely perfect. I love how it is silly and serious at the same time. If you are not into fan service then just walk away now lol. The most interesting thing is this war that was fought so long ago and how legendary it was but then by the end of it you see something from it and it will make you do a double take lol. I can't wait to see where this will lead to.

In a world where everyone is branded with a number that changes when they perform certain actions, Hina is searching for someone she only knows based on something her missing mother told her. He wears a mask and seems to be an idiot, but he's hiding his number. And that's suspicious.
I am intrigued. Will continue.

Got four volumes of this series as a Christmas gift, decided to read one of them as a book before going to bed and I'm rather pleased with it.
The blurb on the back only comes to play for a few pages before going a completely different way but not in a bad way, rather a clever way where my attention was even more pulled.

The idea overally is interesting but....
Oh god!! I know its genre has also mentioned Ecchi( which I found later) but it's also Shounen!
It was not the type I enjoy but because I was suggested I continued

Picked this up after falling in love with Licht in the anime and just blew through this in a day

I'm glad I saw the anime because this moved a little quick for me, I feel like hour thrown I to this world so fast and have to just go with it. No slowing down that's for sure.

As her mother is pulled into the abyss, Hina is given this task: find the Fabled Ace, a war hero from centuries ago, and give him an orb with great power. Hina spends the next several years walking all over known creation looking for him. This helps her with her "count" - the magical number emblazoned on everyone that goes up or down depending on what they do. Everyone has a different reason for their count going up, and Hina gets hers to go up by walking. Despite having walked across the world, Hina is still very sheltered when it comes to the way thing work. When a man in a cafe tries to swindle her of her count and the orb her mother left her, who else comes to her rescue but the Fabled Ace she's been searching for! But, aside from saving her, Licht is not as altruistic as she hoped he would be.
The mechanic of Counts in this story gives this world a unique element, and it was fun to figure out what each character's count was for. However, this title has lots of fan service (gratuitous shots of girls' bodies), and the Fabled Ace is a bit of a horndog who likes to stick his face between ladies' legs at any opportunity. So far, there is no nudity, so the inappropriateness just extends to actions and illustrations. Despite this, there are plenty of little mysteries and hints at character depth that could lead into a much more developed world as the series progresses.The end of this volume becomes more serious with Licht and a few more characters where we delve into the history of the world, some of the conflicts that landed us where we are now, and they mystery of The Abyss, which is not actually known to kill those it swallows. I have a hunch that as we continue, the horndoggedness might get phased out more, but the illustrative fan-service might be here to stay.
