I keep saying every chapter that the content is too little per chapter and I should just let it pile up to binge, but I come back each update just to see if fujimoto put something that directly moves the plot along in each chapter that I don’t wanna miss out on. Like Nayuta’s “death”. So far since then I’ve just been feeling like there’s a lot of “wtf fujimoto” and “okay that was weird but let him cook” moments but not enough… payoff? And this chapter (193), there’s pretty big themes happening but it’s just depressing asf and doesn’t feel like we’re getting closer to any goal. Feels more like “a story meandering but in the style of fujimoto” than something really happening. Feel free to disagree idc and this comment section is actually hilarious and better with differing opinions than the fujimoto glazing elsewhere. Like even if this all leads up to something big and he’s actually cooking it still feels… meh.
Ikr, that too. I get that a story like this clearly thrives on conflict and chaos and themes, and fujimoto doesn’t hold back, but I genuinely think it would be better in part 2 if denji had more of a “slice of life” storyline before the chaos began where we saw him and nayuta way more involved in the plot without being wrecked and dunked on before “it” actually happened. Yeah we got it but not much lol. Still waiting for the payoff of this later half of part two because the author lost me. And waiting for a time when Denji’s character doesn’t completely circle back around to how he began, because it seems like so much of his struggle is him going back to square one despite all the people (mostly women because he distrusts men) constantly manipulating and harassing him. Like sir, even tho you’re a teen even teens learn what to watch out for after something happens for the eleventy-seventh time. You’re STILL falling for the same shit from part one???! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Okay this story is funny as fuck. Like, the extreme revenge turned me away a bit, but Karma’s dialogue with the bullies, their internal dialogues, and the chihuahua girl (bully with short hair and pulled bangs) kept making me laugh… I ended up getting attached to the chihuahua and was glad she lived — she’s so damn dumb and her interactions with karma were so silly at a point it started getting endearing!
Spoiler: Once rolled bangs chihuahua girl suffered enough I felt like it was okay to let her off the hook. She was a bully but I don’t think she was brutal enough to deserve death; her family’s fate was the brutal end. At least she gets the biggest change of a normal life into adulthood even with enormous debt lol. Her brother can suffer for eternity though. I’ll miss her; I wish she was taken in as another “daughter” by the director if he wasn’t so bent on revenge so I could keep seeing her interactions with karma lmao.
