Ryota Sakamoto is one of the top-ranked players of BTOOOM!, an online battle game. But no amount of simulated warfare could have propared him for what is to come... Ryota wakes one evening to find himself dangling from a tree by a parachute with no recollection of how he got there. Before he can orient himself to his unfamiliar surroundings, Ryota is attacked. As a barrage of explosives rain down on him, Ryota realizes that he too has a pack of bombs...bombs that look very similar to the ones used in BTOOOM! Ryota may have mastered the online game, but can he come out on top in this real-life game of survival?!

As expected, the series starts going downhill. Bombs only kill bad guys, like in bad action movies. Ryouta can dodge 'em like nobody's business. Oh, it's cause he's so good at the game? No, it's because he is the main character. Everyone else is there to make him look even better.
Con los pocos tomos que llevo he encontrado Btoom algo disperso y facilista en su desarrollo. Pero este séptimo volúmen ha subido el promedio con creces, con uns giros argumentales muy interesantes e inteligentes. La forma en que se cuenta la historia, con el pov de más de un personaje sobre los mismos hechos, enriquece el relato.
En este tomo Ryōta se vio como un completo novato idiota 🤦🏻♀️ Se confía demasiado. Que bonito ver a Himiko preocupada por él y al fin confiando en él. Me gustó ver cosas que no salían en el anime.
Pretty Decent survival manga! Definitely not the best in the Genre, the art and action is pretty good but the story just drags on on just not good😴😁👌❤️
Btooom! is a bit derivative in concept, but this volume is easily the best of the series so far. The characterization takes a surprising (and very welcome) turn towards the unexpected as it turns out that characters we met back in the first volume are far more complex than we assumed.
Even the protagonists surprise us somewhat, as it turns out that Ryota gets to be humbled in a realistic way that humanizes him deeply. Himiko, too, shows depths that we had not seen before.
If you are a fan of Btooom!, or even on the fence, by all means try and read this specific volume.
This is a manga that's better than hunger games. Has more realistic events and tragedies. People die and dark things come to light not for the faint hearted. Good art style and characters.
