Seit seiner Entdeckung zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts ist es noch niemandem gelungen, das Millenniumspuzzle zu lösen. Als Yugi Muto – ein kleiner Junge, der ständig gemobbt wird – es letztlich lösen kann, erwacht in ihm eine andere Persönlichkeit und er wird zum König der Spiele. Das legendäre »Spiel der Finsternis«, das über das Böse, das die Welt heimsucht, richtet, beginnt jetzt!
Takahashi (高橋和希) started as a mangaka in 1982. His first work was Tokiō no Tsuma (闘輝王の鷹), published in 1990. One of his earliest works was Tennenshokudanji Buray (天然色男児BURAY), which lasted for two volumes and was published from 1991 to 1992. Takahashi did not find success until 1996 when he created Yu-Gi-Oh!
A better volume than the last. Interesting changes in this one, not sure why they didn’t have Jonouchi battle Yugi in the manga, but did have them duel in the anime. Tbh it does make sense for Yugi to just duel Pegasus because Jonouchi will never win against Yugi, but there’s been a whole arc about Jonouchi growing so for his storyline it does make sense for him to duel Yugi even if he won’t win. Idk I can see pros and cons to each of them, but I think I like the manga version more.
Excited to see what differences there are going forward now. After the last volume I was considering not reading the manga anymore but this volume renewed my interest.
This is the best one so far for sure. It felt like there where stakes and one of the most engaging due to how good of a villain Pegasus turned out to be. His cards were really unique and interesting and they made it to more fun since they connected to his personality. Although the rules were kind of convenient at times it still did not take away from the strategy and good writing to make the action moments more appealing and entertaining. I have grown to really like these characters especially the new ones that were introduced in this story arc. I don’t know where the story is heading but I sure hope that all the same characters return to make a second appearance. It’s always great when a series improves over time which is exactly what I am feeling with this one.
Yu-Gi-Oh gehört zu einen meiner liebsten Serien in der Kindheit und da jetzt Stück für Stück die massiv Bänder erscheinen, konnte ich einfach nicht meine Finger davon lassen. Vieles habe ich mittlerweile wieder vergessen und so darf ich die Reihe wieder neu erleben. Ich liebe die Reihe und fiebere schon auf den nächsten Teil hin, der Ende diesen Monats erscheint.
This continues to be a fun fluff series. Maybe I should be reading more serious literature than this, but serious literature doesn't have monster guys in it.
I was looking forward to the Jounouchi and Yugi duel but I know that will come at some point in the manga. Overall, another enjoyable volume and I'm looking forward to getting through the rest of them!
