PT Aquilo que Eiji mais temia acaba por acontecer: a SKALL envolve a sua família adotiva e a sua namorada, colocando todos em perigo.

Forçado a agir sem hesitação, Eiji lança-se numa viagem repleta de tensão e adrenalina, cujo desfecho promete ser tão inesperado quanto marcante.

Sinto também que a arte de Shota Ito sofreu uma enorme evolução neste volume — os cenários de fundo, em particular, estão absolutamente fabulosos.

EN What Eiji feared the most has finally happened: SKALL drags his adoptive family and his girlfriend into the conflict, putting them all in danger.

Forced to act without hesitation, Eiji embarks on a journey filled with tension and adrenaline, with an outcome that promises to be as unexpected as it is striking.

I also feel that Shota Ito’s artwork has gone through a tremendous evolution in this volume — the background settings, in particular, look absolutely stunning.

Ich mag die Spannung, den Nervenkitzel und den Horror dieser Reihe. Jetzt muss ich auf den nächsten Band warten und würde so gerne direkt wissen, wie es weiter geht.

[Lesebiene]

Der Band war nicht ganz so spannend wie die anderen, aber wie immer mit einem fiesen Cliffhanger ausgestattet. Einen Band habe ich noch zuhause, was schauen ob ich den gleich noch hinterher lese.

Eiji is your typical shy college student trying to find himself, get a pretty girlfriend and cruise through life with no issues. Unfortunately his father was a brutal serial killer that left a stain on his family that follows him around everywhere he goes, and the emergence of a split personality with dark and violent tendencies gets him wrapped up in a murderous conspiracy where his dangerous alter ego seems to be his own worst enemy. Is he doomed to involuntarily follow in his disgraced father’s footsteps?

I thought this series would be a bit predictable considering I’ve seen this type of horror thriller before, but it ended up throwing dozens of unexpected twists at me, none of them being what I predicted given the premise. The truth behind both of Eiji’s personalities ended up being more twisted and complex than I had originally imagined.

What really won me over with this series is how unexpectedly complex and multilayered the entire cast of side characters ended up being. At first, the side characters all seem very simplistic and forgettable with one dimensional character tropes, but almost every single side character ends up having dark secrets of their own that are even more insane than those of the protagonist. Hardly anyone in this story is completely innocent, everyone is involved in the mass murder conspiracy in some way or another and the puzzle keeps getting bigger and bigger until the very end where everything is finally pieced together.

Don’t be deceived by the predictable opening with familiar psychological horror cliches. The series gets more intense, unpredictable and challenging to figure out the longer it goes on and the payoff at the end hits really hard. Eiji is a tragic character that’s easy to hate at times but incredibly sympathetic, the side characters all have fascinating subplots of their own as well. It has a slow build up but gets significantly better with each volume.

Oj zawiodłam się bardzo... W porównaniu do dwóch poprzednich części mega słaby tom, jeden wątek został rozwiązany, ale liczyłam na rozwinięcie osoby z okładki, więcej szczegółów, historii... Na początku może i coś się działo, za to potem wszystko poleciało tak szybko, tak szybko się czytało, ale w sumie nic ciekawego niestety ☹️

[Laurie]

Bon alors ce tome je l'ai bouffer à une vitesse, avant la dernière page je ne m'étais même pas rendu compte que je le finissais 😅
L'histoire est toujours aussi mystérieuse et prenante ! Franchement je fonce acheter le tome 4 et 5 !

[Grecia Fava]

Me pareció que terminó muy rápido todo para lo peligroso que nos habían pintado a la mafia, pero bueno. Ahora vamos con el siguiente arco donde ahora tenemos a la novia como sospechosa de ayudar a B1 al acompañarlo a la clínica, a esperar el otro tomo para ver qué resulta ser 🤔

[AsianMerr]

The climax of the first major arc and man it had everything! I honestly was thinking the gf was involved in some way and to see it wasn’t the case was good. Also she’s great for sticking by Eiji’s side.

[Raphael Gomes]

Nesse volume vemos a resolução de certos conflitos e mistérios das edições anteriores, ao mesmo tempo que novas perguntas são levantadas com o plot twist desse final. Mal posso esperar pra ler o próximo!!!

[Arashi]

Historia podąża w bardzo ciekawym kierunku. Przy pierwszym i drugim tomie wydawało mi się, że doskonale wiem dokąd fabuła zmierza, a teraz (na szczęście!) okazuje się, że się myliłam. Ostatnie co można zarzucić tej mandze to przewidywalność i sztampowość.

[Marion Emberger]

I'm so glad that the Sai Yashiro and Skall arc seem to have ended and we're focusing more on Eiji's condition now.
