Just when I thought the structure of this manga would keep on repeating itself, we finally get an unexpected outcome! The difficulty with stories like this is that you need to ensure your MC is powerful, while also ensuring they aren't so powerful that the reader assumes they will win all the time.

One thing that intrigues me is the number of volumes this story has. Currently, if Uruma continues his current "judgement" pace (I won't elaborate on what judgement is, if you know you know), then he can fulfil his mission by the end of Volume 8. However, there are currently 10 volumes and the 11th volume is ongoing, which leads me to three hypotheses:
1) Uruma successfully completes his mission, only to find there is more work to be done.
2) Uruma successfully completes his mission, but has become mentally unstable due to his actions and is now evil.
3) Uruma still hasn't completed his mission (highly unlikely tbh).

Either way, only time will tell.

Psicologico deviante. Solo per adulti.

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.

My rating: 3.8/5

COMMENTO PERSONALE: Questa serie è qualcosa che ti si attacca addosso in modo viscerale, costringendoti in un loop di negatività e di frenetica vendetta efferata. Ormai Uruma sta per portare a termine il suo piano di vendetta in quanto ha selezionato il nuovo bersaglio; si tratta di Kuga, il penultimo dei componenti della banda che fecero sì che i suoi genitori morissero, che il fratello fosse ricoverato in gravi condizioni e che il nonno anche lui stia in ospedale. In questo caso conseguentemente la vendetta di Uruma dovrà proseguire ma senza l’aiuto del nonno. Conseguentemente serve un luogo isolato e un ostaggio affinchè possa prendere tutto il tempo necessario per fare il carnefice e sbarazzarsi del cadavere. Ma questa volta non ha tenuto per niente conto del soggetto da lui selezionato per fare da ostaggio. Si tratta di Anna, una delle vecchie compagne di scuola di Kuga. Lei, nonostante sia seguita da quest’ultimo, violentata e persino stuprata, non se ne allontana, anzi, si avvicina sempre più in quanto ne è innamorata in tutti i sensi. Il piano di Uruma sembra proprio andare per il meglio, quando all’improvviso qualche cosa cambia poiché Kuga è riuscito a scappare. Ma lui sembra avere delle allucinazioni e scambia Anna per Kyo e… il finale è aperto e non sembra promettere nulla di buono per il nostro protagonista ma bisognerà attendere parecchio prima di sapere che cosa si celi effettivamente nella testa dell’autore.

 

Ed eccoci giunti anche oggi al termine di una nuova avventura e di una nuova chiacchierata. Penso che per la prossima settimana non ci sarò ma cercherò di preparare i contenuti per la settimana seguente. Grazie ancora per il supporto e spero di conoscere qualcuno di voi qua proprio grazie a questo evento

Pffff una vez más me ha vuelto a impresionar , sin duda alguna se ha convertido en el mejor manga que he leído jamás , me parece ridículo que le den pocas estrellas por su gran contenido de violencia y gore , al fin y al cabo este género va sobre eso...

[María Liz Mosquea · Rating 4 out of 5]

¡Momentazo!

Quedé con la boca para atrás. El mejor hasta ahora.

Tantas cosas que procesar aquí. Yo quiero ver qué diablo va hacer uruma.

PD: La policía no sirve. Desde niños asesinando y nunca ha habido consecuencias para ellos. No hasta que llega este random.

You will never believe when I would say that it is the same as previous volumes.
