Full Metal Panic!, Volume 3

漫画 フルメタル・パニック！/ Full Metal Panic! #3

by 館尾冽, Retsu Tateo (Illustrator), Shouji Gatou

The boy of Kaname's dreams, a former upperclassman, makes a sudden appearance, and Kaname is convinced he will ask her out. But are his intentions honorable? Sosuke will attempt to find out, as this all-to0-familiar high school love story suddenly takes a turn. By going undercover, sporting a Bonta-kun costume, he ends up saving the day, or at least Kaname. Aside from the high school dreamboat, Kaname still has her eye on Sosuke, and she is finally ready to come clean... but why is Tessa steeping out of Sosuke's shower?! Full Metal Panic! picks up more momentum, and more action, knife-wielding terrorists, a handful of hostages, and just one man to save the day!

L’ambientazione scolastica non mi fa impazzire, anche perché è tutto un susseguirsi di botte da parte di Chidori ai danni del povero Sousuke.
Alcuni capitoli mi hanno strappato un sorriso, ma la storia anche se simpatica risulta statica…
Voglio l’azione!

PUNTUACIÓN: 3

Los tres volúmenes hasta ahora no han subido de 3 y es que aunque la historia es MUY interesante y está muy bien construida, con argumentos de todo lo que pasa, con datos geniales, pasa que aún los personajes no terminan de cuadrarme.. bueno, no los personajes.. EL personaje.. Kaname.

Imaginen a la típica protagonista de novela YA.. ahora súmenle más drama e intensidad.. ¿listo? Bingo, acaban de conocer a Kaname. No puedo con su actitud en la mayoría de las escenas y aunque juro que estoy intentando que me agrade, para poder shipear como me gusta, no he podido.. siempre que me empieza a agradar llega a un punto en que piensa algo totalmente ¿? no asimila aún la situación .. "estás huyendo de un asesino y piensas en lo triste que estas porque tu chaqueta nueva se rompió" !!!!! WTF

Con Tessa me la estoy llevando muy bien, está enamorada de Sousuke, ya lo acepta, pero aún así sabe cual es su lugar, sabe que ella es su superior y no se está con juegos a la hora de sus responsabilidades; aunque lo tiene en su mente en algunos momentos críticos pronto entra en razón y sabe que el amor, aunque suene triste, está en segundo plano.

Y Sousuke.. me gusta el chico, me gusta su actitud, que no le importe ser el mismo .. con sus locuras y todo, con su obsesión por la seguridad y su seriedad.. manteniendo su mente siempre en combate, porque eso es: el chico ha sido un mercenario toda su vida, es a lo único que está acostumbrado.

Me ha gustado el giro que dio la historia al final y que se va descubriendo más y más de la tecnología Lambda Drive y de los Whispered que me está fascinando.

That ice queen Malania went and told my psychiatrist I was holed up in the bathroom. I heard the whole thing, the bitch makes it sound like I'm having some kind of episode. Fuck no, this is me time, and Dr. Lipshitz told me that taking mental health days is very wise. Take that, Melania. Ain't getting me away from this heaping pile of good times :) #1000books #wecandoit

Setting sekolah memang selalu menarik dan membuat saya tetap bertahan hhe, juga karena itu semua adalah rentetan kekonyolan yang berujung pada pukulan harisen Chidori terhadap Sousuke yang malang.
Beberapa bab membuat saya cukup terhibur dan tersenyum, alur ceritanya meskipun membaik namun terkesan statis.
Yah harus diakui, saya ingin lebih aksi mecha2 sekarang :))

Back to high school craziness. Methinks the anime is better and likely puts this in the same category as, say, Shaman King. The action was a bit hard to follow in the last volume so I would expect the humor to pull through. Alas, the anime can bring it to life in ways the manga seems to fall short.

This is by far the best of the collected volumes. It features a beach trip and a date at the zoo, replete with mysterious ghosts and monkeys on the loose. Light, fun, and fluffy as is highly appropriate to the series.

Ако се самоубиеш ще те застрелям... Е*аси...

[Elodie Cunningham · Rating 3 out of 5]

Much better articulation of the series's core premise than the first volume, still a little less engaging than the second

[Ben Zimmerman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is enjoyable, but I don't think I'll buy any more. There are some iffy gender dynamics, and they make some jokes about suicide that I didn't love.

There is a great mixture of comedy and drama here. Addressing how Chidori pushed Sousuke away and the regret she feels over it is very important. It's a scene I feel was missing from the anime.

Udah punya komik Ini cukup lama, tapi baru sempet baca kemarin2.. *stok komik overload banget*

Ini komik awalnya lebay.. Chidori cewek SMA, dilindungi sama Sousuke kebangetan, sampe make senjata beneran.. emang ada alasannya sih, kenapa Chidori Ini harus dilindungin karena katanya Chidori Ini seorang 'whispered', orang yang punya pengetahuan luar biasa.

Makin kesini, ceritanya Makin macem2...
perang pake AS (semacam robot), Chidori yang mulai naksir Sousuke meskipun Sousuke lugu, terus ada Tessa kapten Sousuke yang juga naksir Sousuke..

Komik Ini asik buat dibaca, ada komedinya juga yang bikin cengar cengir, ada romantisnya juga~
pantes konon katanya Ini komik laris banget jaman dulu, ya... gue telat gaul baru baca sekarang haha

One of the reasons one reads the manga for this story is it, like the original source novel, integrates the silly high school stuff with the hard science fiction. These were famously divided into two separate anime, Full Metal Panic and Fumoffu. The artist does a better job with the high school stuff than she did with the sci fi, and this volume has a great deal more in the former category. Thus it's a slightly better volume.

I loved reading this volume of Full Metal panic as it has expanded more of what is great about the anime series and I love the characters of Sousuke and Chidori who are so good together and really make it work, I always look forward and reading the manga and watching the anime series.
