not me liking yet another fictional serial killer

[Luxembourg · Rating 5 out of 5]

He is the love of my life I think

[rit · Rating 3 out of 5]

don't we love a guy who kills criminals/ lh

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

So basically there's this guy who's definately memorised every bit of The Exorcist and is probably into BDSM and he kills monsters. Oh and he also like doing pottery.

Go read it(and check the warnings). Enjoyyyyy :)

You'll probably end up simping for him Imao

Handsome, successful, and talented, detective Hiroki Dan has it all. Each investigation solved is another good deed to add to his pile of closed cases. However, while his work is fulfilling, there are still times when he becomes frustrated; the police are helpless when vile people are beyond the reach of the law. It is for this very reason that Hiroki takes matters into his own hands.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, Hiroki exacts twisted justice on the dredges of society, one "good deed" at a time.



This was the summary provided by MyAnimeList and I certainly got hooked. It was a short read (only 8 chapters) but I love the pacing and how it progresses. If you're a fan of Dexter and gore, then this manga is for you.

well it sounded promising but it's kinda garbage ngl
off-the-wall grotesque and surface level

[Prokrastinuji čtením]

Tak tohle bylo jedním slovem totálně brutální🤯 Vůbec nevím jak hodnotit, co se počtu hvězdiček týká. Myslela, že mě po Killing Stalking už asi žádná manga, a celkově příběh nerozhodí svou temnou a zvrácenou stránkou.

Věřím, že na někoho tohle už bude za čarou, a proto doporučuji před koupí trochu listování v knihkupectví.

Jasně, je to takovej Dexter, jen o dost sadističtější, morbidnější a celkově se snažím říct, že vám možná z některejch kreseb nebude úplně dobře.

Nemůžu říct, že by se mi tahle manga líbila, ale rozhodně si získala moji pozornost - šokovala mě, a jen tak z hlavy ji asi chvilku nedostanu.

Pokud máte rádi hodně temné až zvrácené příběhy, popřípadě jste třeba četli Killing Stalking, tak tohle je teoreticky něco pro vás😁

[Julie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay so this really lives up to it's name. It's brutal. And very graphic and just super fucked in general wow. It's... alot. But I'm interested? Like I definitely want to read more, but uh, yeah. That was a lot.

I'm interested in Dan, our main character. I feel like we haven't gotten too much of him except that he kills bad people as good deeds and that he's doing those "good deeds" so that he can meet up with his friend in heaven. This volume was more focused on the bad people than him. We only get introduced and see him do his thing twice, but I'd like to know what makes him tick. Hopefully we'll learn more in the next volume.

Many content warnings: suicide, GRAPHIC depictions of violence, rape, murder, child murder just all the things, all around messed up.

[TSam · Rating 2 out of 5]

There's only one word to describe this; brutal. The premise is interesting but story didn't do much with it and the lack of plot makes me slowly lost ineterest. But if you like the show Dexter, then give this one a read

[Fatima · Rating 5 out of 5]

Satisfying 😂😂😂😂 yet traumatizing

[Hailey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dan Hiroki is just like Dexter; if Dexter was an ambiguously gay pretty-boy whose favorite hobby was crafting horrible pottery… and if he was obsessed with The Exorcist movie from 1973 to the point of doing the infamous “spider walk” and spewing coffee from his mouth simply for his own enjoyment. Funnily enough, each “good deed” Dan acts on is inspired by The Exorcist. There’s even one based on the cross masturbation scene, and it’s… brutal. To say the least.

This strangely funny series is carried by the bizarreness and moe of the main character, as well as the sincerity(?) of his motivation to punish those who hurt others (women and kids specifically) to join his ex-lover in Heaven once he dies. Although, the reader wonders whether Dan is actually a vigilante hero or just plain psychopath. Even though he has noble motivations on the surface, he receives a perverse gratification from leading his victims into despair. Each chapter scales the violence and extremity of the last, and no type of “punishment” is off-limits… so have a barf bag handy!

My main complaint would have to be the structural homogeny of each chapter… each part (of which there are three disconnected stories per volume) is wacky and entertaining in its own right, but just like an episode of NCIS, does not amount to any greater story or characters. This didn’t bug me at first, but it becomes tiring the further you read on in the series. You become invested and want something… ANYTHING… to throw a wrench in Dan’s routine and put him to the test. I personally wish Koga would have given Dan an equal but opposite rival to really break his calm demeanor and heighten the stakes of his “good deeds”. By volume four I found myself losing interest due to how repetitive the stories felt, similar to other horror manga like Pumpkin Night and Happy Sugar Life.

Also, this series becomes significantly goofier past the first volume. One notable moment is in volume three where Dan kills a baby-hating misogynist via bungee jumping. It’s so weird and funny.

[G_occasionally_reads]

I won't even give it a rating.
I read the first volume, and that's it for me.
I am traumatized. I am not saying it's bad; it isn't.
It's just too graphic. Too much Dexter (vigilante murdering criminals)

May I interest you in:
🔪 josei manga
🔪 gore 🩸 and shock
🔪 psychological horror

های کوالیتی گور. متاسفانه فن ترنسلیت بود و نسخه رسمی نیست تا با کیفیت بالا از خشونتش لذت کافی ببرم. هر چند آرت معمولی‌ای داره ولی خشونت تصویری بولدش واقعا تکان دهنده است.

[ollie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought chapter one was already crazy. Then chapter two happened, and so on. If you’re one to enjoy revenge and can handle the extremely dark themes and depictions, you’d probably like this.

3,5/5 estrellas

Sé que lo habréis leído en muchas opiniones, pero a Brutal le viene el titulo que ni pintado. Y es que este manga es brutal en todos los sentidos.

La trama es brutal, una historia protagonizada por un policía que se toma la justicia por su mano y acaba con la peor escoria que te puedes encontrar. Al más puro estilo Dexter, Dan Hiroki se dedica a asesinar a lo peor de la sociedad, lo que él llama sus "buenas acciones".

Las escenas también son brutales y no aptas para todos los públicos. Son escenas muy explicitas que pueden herir sensibilidades, la verdad es que a mí me ha costado un poco leer la segunda parte del tomo, por varias de esas escenas.

Brutal es un manga con mucho potencial, con personajes que parecen salidos de Metes Criminales y una trama que me causa curiosidad. ¿Llegarán a descubrir a Dan alguna vez? Habrá que seguir leyendo el manga para saberlo.

Si sois fans de las series que he mencionado, este manga es el indicado, es sí, para un público adulto y que no le importen las escenas de violencia explícita.

Butik yayınevlerinden daha çok kitap okumaya çalışıyorum. Brutal da bu sebeple karşıma çıkan bir kitap oldu. +18 kategoride olduğundan ve çizimlerinde aşırı şiddet olduğundan siyah poşet içerisinde satılıyor. Adını tam anlamıyla yansıtan bir kitap Berserk bile bu kadar vahşi gelmemişti doğrusu. Dexter tarzı polis bir ana karakter var ve suçlulara kendince bir adalet sağlıyor. Ama yaptıklarının adaletle uzaktan yakından alakası yok. Bütün ağır konuları birleştirmiş. Şiddet, t.cavüz, .şkence ve çok daha fazlasını içeriyor. Açıkçası beni çizimlerdeki aşırılık rahatsız etti. Hassas konular hassas olmayan bir şekilde ele alınmış hatta neredeyse duygusuzca denebilir. Ana karakterin motivasyonu Exorcist filmiyle birleştirilmiş. Adaletten çok katillerin bakış açısına ve yaptıkları iğrençliklere odaklanılmış. Bu iğrenç kısımlardaki bazı eylemlerin gereksiz yere sırf aşırılık olsun diye konulduğunu düşünüyorum. Açıkçası beğenmedim ve seriye devam etmeyi de düşünmüyorum. Siyah poşet içinde satılması doğru bir karar olmuş, çocukların bu kitaptan uzak tutulması gerekir.

[Tesutamento · Rating 3 out of 5]

Adının hakkını veren bir manga. İşkence, tecavüz ve şiddet dozu yüksek ölümler içeriyor. Biraz Dexter havasında bir karakterimiz var. Başarılı bir dedektif kanunların yetmediği yerde devreye girip kendi çarpık adalet anlayışını gözler önüne seriyor. Şiddeti ana teması edinmiş bir manga için çizimler çok iyi diyebilirim. Karakterler, olaylar ve durumlar güzel aktarılmış. Ben yine de bazı noktalarda çizimlerin fazla güvenli olduğunu düşündüm. Sanki başımız ağrımasın veya okuyucuyu rahatsız etmeyelim denmiş. Kendini okutan bir manga olsa da bir hikaye sunmuyor. İki hikayede de aynı şiddet döngüsünü gördük sadece. Ne bir eksik ne de bir fazla. Bu yüzden kitabı bitirdiğimde bir şeyler eksikmiş ya da olmamış gibi bir his vardı içimde.

[Demeter Kate · Rating 1 out of 5]

Sorry Leute aber außer das wir „live“ dabei sind, wenn die schlimmsten Dinge, die Menschen angetan werden können, ausgeübt werden, gibt es dann im Anschluss nur die „gute“ Tat des „Mordermittlers“ .

Da wir überhaupt nicht mitbekommen, wie er die Täter aufspürt etc., hätte es jeder beliebiger Mensch sein können. Mordermittlung Spielt also keine Rolle und muss ich mir halt denken und dann sind wir in 2-3 Seiten fertig mit der „Auflösung“

[melike]

az kalsın kuscaktım amk sinirden ateşim çıktı

[Yackie · Rating 1 out of 5]

If I could give it less than one star I would. It was all just rape. And then murder by rape. Very disturbing for no reason? And there was also no story behind it either? So it was just a book full of pointless rape (not that it would be less disturbing if the rape had a point). Really fucking gross.


Based on the description I was thinking it would be like Dexter meets Light Yagami but yeah no, fuck no. Really just no. It was told entirely by the criminals too so the narrative fallowed horrific rapes even though the story is advertised like it’s about the homicide detective. There was no detecting to be found. No cunning problem solving, no traps to catch the criminals. Just torture. Yeah gross.

CHIEF DAN CAN BANG ME

[Molin · Rating 4 out of 5]

日本語で読んで、フリガナないのでちょっと難しかった。 初めて読んでとき、「日本人のデクスターだ」と思っていました。

It feels so wrong and evil but then also right at the same time. If evil why hot /.\

CW: very graphic depictions of SA, rape and murder

Well, it certainly lives up to the title. The premise is very interesting so I plan to keep reading and see where it goes.
