These chapters are way too short and the cliff hangers never actually mean anything in the next chapter like cmon you could catch up the the story in like an hour.
Shun Uruma is a high school student being targeted by 4 bullies and their psychopathic leader that wants to perform cruel psychological experiments to drive other kids to suicide by finding creative ways of mentally and emotionally torturing them. One day the kids take their nasty games too far and get people close to Shun killed right in front of him. After the law fails to bring these five killers to justice, Shun trains himself under the guidance of his grandfather who served in the military and knows all the techniques of how to murder and dismember without being caught.
Juujika no Rokunin is one of those gory extreme horror manga that are so over-the-top edgy, brutal and sometimes flat out stupid, that it’s actually kind of great in its own right. It’s like Dexter on cocaine with the brutality of Saw and Hostel. It’s full of baffling moments that often throw logic and reason straight out the window, but it does manage to be genuinely thrilling, shocking and entertaining with how extreme and whacky it gets.
Urumua is also a surprisingly compelling protagonist. He does some really horrible things and spirals down an immoral dark path, but he never fully loses his compassion for others, his loyalty to his family, as well as the urge to be kind and protective to innocent people. You can’t help but root for him, even though he’s seriously screwed up in the head beyond redemption. The villains are also such monumental assholes that it can be nice to see them get their just deserts.
My only true complaint about this series is that it relies too heavily on sexual violence towards women as a repetitive means of shallow shock value. I could forgive it if it was only a one time instance, but almost every single female character in this story exists just to be assaulted, kidnapped or held hostage to give the main character motivation to kill evil men. It can get tasteless and detrimental real quick, especially since the author has proven that they’re capable of coming up with significantly more creative scenarios that could be so much better in the grand scheme of things.
In some ways, Juujika no Rokunin falls into the ‘so bad it’s kinda brilliant’ category of horror thrillers. That being said, it has some really solid moments once in a while that had me on the edge of my seat in suspense. I have my criticisms, but I found myself enjoying it more often than I found myself disliking it. The sheer malice between the main protagonist and the main antagonist is ruthless and makes things constantly exciting.
COMMENTO PERSONALE: Questa serie sta diventando per me una sorta di ossessione dalle tinte davvero molto violenta e non pensavo che sarebbe potuta essere tra le mie saghe preferite. Credo che al termine manchino ancora due o tre volumi in quanto il centro della trama riguarda proprio la vendetta di Uruma nei confronti dei suoi vecchi persecutori o meglio bulli che hanno annientato la sua famiglia. La vendetta in questione questa volta vede Hiro Mandoka che è stato a lungo tempo infatuato da Kyo. Nel suo passato voleva dimostrarle a tutti i costi il proprio affetto anche in un concorso scolastico e coglie la palla al balzo quando lei le fa una richiesta. Ma i suoi sogni vengono infranti e fa riflettere questa frase pronuncita dalla stessa Kyo: “ Ti sei mai chiesto per quale motivo i mostri distruggono le città?... E’ divertente!” Ma cade nella trappola di Uruma che questa volta usa due tecniche e chiede l’aiuto al nonno. Sfortunatamente per la sua compagna che è stata stuprata non ha potuto intervenire prima ma le va a parlare e la rassicura. In tutto questo però si scatena il caos in quanto viene appiccato un incendio che coinvolge in primo luogo l’unico membro ancora cosciente della famiglia di Uruma ovvero il nonno. Per fortuna le ferite sono effettivamente lievi e di conseguenza è davvero molto irritato dal comportamento degli individui. Anche in questo volume, come nel precedente ci sono dei colpi di scena inaspettati e proprio l’ultima pagina lascia con il fiato sospeso. Non vedo l’ora di andare avanti sperando da una parte che si concluda e dall’altra che ogni persona e cosa ritrovi il proprio equilibrio

Volume 4. Why are the chapters so short?! And what is the point of writing a "cliffhanger" only to swoop in with the answer to the mystery in the next chapter? That's just delayed gratification :/
Me sorprendió mucho eso de la violación de la chica, pero siento que es la historia más floja. Respecto a las muertes, está bien, como las que visto hasta ahora.
Pol favol, que las mujeres sean algo más que víctimas o interés romántico. La única que sale de ese hueco es la detective y otras dos.
Un manga que no decepciona, me ha vuelto a sorprender con creces en muchos aspectos , pensé que podría predecir las cosas pero que va, fue imposible hacerlo , es todo demasiado retorcido, eso sí esta parte tiene un poco más de relleno por lo de la obra de teatro pero quitando eso 10/10
