All he people in the comments who've never read or watched a cop show....The cops are tricking Bum into a confession. It's the oldest trick it the book, along with good cop-bad cop. Sangwoo didn't confess anything.
No way... So, that cop trick Yoon Bum to make him confess everything. Like that?
Yes. The cops separate two suspects, then get them to believe the other has or will confess, which pressures the other suspect to confess first. The two cops know Sangwoo won't tell them anything, so they're trying to get something out of Bum. That was the "trick" Yang mentions.
possible, but we don't know for sure since we only seen Bum's point of view.
Sangwoo, as a sociopath/psychopath would not out himself. Watch Hannibal: you'll get the idea. If Sangwoo ratted on Bum, he would be outing himself as an accessory. PLUS, that would go against what we've seen of Sangwoo's character so far and what has happened in the last few chapters. Sangwoo just adamantly claimed he and Bum are lovers in front of many cops. Going back on that or claiming Bum hauled and burried a body on his own and without Sangwoo's knowledge/physical help, would be highly suspicious (and would only give Yang more to hang Sangwoo with).
Officer Yang knows Sangwoo is a serial killer. He also knows Sangwoo won't talk. He also outright says he's going to trick them. I think it's pretty obvious what he's doing. The only question is whether it's ALL he's doing: there could be more the trick, maybe having something to do with taking Bum's DNA, the knife, and liquid sample. Is that part of the trick, or is he just gathering evidence?
I don't think Bum will fall for it. He may be mentally unstable, but he isn't an idiot. He'll probably keep playing stupid and demand to see Sangwoo before saying anything.
And I was hoping Bum WOULD kill his nasty uncle, but maybe next time (maybe when Sangwoo can help Bum).
It depends how the policeman play his cards. Under extreme stress people crack. I've seen it happen, even when it's evident that they're being manipulated. Plus, Bum may be able to not say anything but non verbal language says a lot. Inconsistency in your story too.
Am I the only one who was laughing my ass off this whole chapter? Sangwoo's antics, Bum's stalker tendencies coming up again, and the cop like "wtf" the whole time. Too good xD
Bum is going to be able to fill out that paper, no prob. I can't wait to see how Sangwoo gets out of this one.
I agree, Bum is not gonna have a problem with his end of the situation
I giggled at Bum's "we're dating?"
Yeah bitch, you were promoted to Waifu the day he said "you be the mom" & he let you suck his dick.
He should have told the damn truth then. I do not feel bad for Bum anymore.. Smh.. Anything that happens to him after this he deserves.
I don't care what happens to Bum anymore he is a weak character that just needs to be dealt with. I applaud Sungbae for trying to help him he did his job even though the odds were and are stacked against him. Sangwoo just need to die point blank period there is not room in the normal world for him and will kill again and again and again.
I like how one of the reasons Bum fell for Sangwoo wad because he saved him from getting raped in thd military, but when a handsome hero puts his life on the line to save his life & sanity, he's still hung up on Sangwoo, who turned out not to be the man he idolized. He's like one of those wives on true crime shows who won't leave their abusive husbands, though I do think Sangwoo has feelings for him.
If he does have feelings for bum he has one hell of away of showing it. How can you torture someone you love like that? And I guess the manga creator doesn't want to be typical good cop gets the guy and the glory.
I have this feeling Sunbae is going to have a fall from grace. He seems to have a history of skirting the law while working for it, not following orders... Perhaps Sungwoo will drive both him & Bum insane.
Yeah maybe but Sungbae doesn't seem easy to manipulate. Bum was easy to manipulate because he had already had some traumatic experience which weakened his mental health. I just want sangwoo dealt with I'm not cheering for him and bum escaping together and what not. I just hope Sungbae isn't killed I like his character the most now.
Yeah, Seungbae's not the type to be manipulated, even if he's sheepish around superior officers, he'll still do what he wants the minute they turn their backs. But he had a tragic past too; His father was murdered & I guess they either never caught the guy or he was convinced they got the wrong one.
Why is there so much focus on Yura? It's like she's the main character, and that sucks because the brothers are way more interesting than typical high school drama. I hope there's a good reason why the author chose to give her so much screen time.
Agreed. It's not that I hate Yura, but her plotline is kinda boring that I find myself craving for scenes with the little brother in it.
I think she is one of the people the kid (can't remember his name) is going to stab. Just a guess
because the author needs to build the premise which leads tp the brother's psychotic rampage...
if she focused on yoseob there wouldn't be much to build on if you consider the plot line so i'm assuming in the author's mind that if you're from the outside looking in it leaves room for more questions to the thrown into the air about his actions and less predictabilty
if she focused on jaeha it would mostly revolve around his love for yura which would be pretty dang annoying and drawn out
by viewing it from yura's perspective however we can get insight into yoseob's psychosis, see jaeha's reaction to her and the aurthor can tease your mind into wondering what the fuck did yoseob do to taeoh that it could cause him to go into a near panic attack
that one in particular is driving me insane Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
i've created so many scenarios in my brain of what could have gone down between them and i can't narrow it down to one （/TДT)/
i'm just guessing tho ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I thought something similar, which is why I'm holding out judgement, but I feel it's dragging on too long for a set-up, especially focused on Yura. He supposedly kills eight people, but so far we're only introduced to one of them. With this pacing, and assuming the little bro is the main character, and if the author is going to show the backstory for everyone who dies, I expect a looooong work.
And we don't actually know if the little bro killed a bunch of people, that part is still a mystery (I'm waiting to hear what blue-haired guy saw). Played straight, little bro will be a psycho serial killer. Or it could more creative than that, like he sets people up to kill themselves or others. Or maybe he didn't actually kill anyone. Who knows.
I'm really enjoying the story so far, but I hope something interesting or exciting happens soon. (〜￣△￣)〜
i very much agree (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Same. Thats exactly what i thought. But maybe its focused on yura cuz shes the one who started alll of this. Talking N flirting with Jaeha N ends up likeing him, just made yoseob upset. So maybe its showing us why he killed the 8 people. But then again they havent even introduced them yet. So far they introduced the main one (Yura) N like 3 others (Lee taeho, one of Jaeha's friend N woojin) im just guessing. These might not even be the ppl that dies. (except for yura, shes totally gonna die) but yea ur rite, who are the 8 people that died??? N did Yoseob even killed them?? He could of killed one or 2 of them N the rest saw what happened N paniced N ran into the street N got hit? Who knows, but all ik for sure is that this book is Fking Good!! It MIGHT be better than Killing stalking Like i fell in LOVE with this book since ch 1. Thats how good the opeaning the book was.it gives off that Mysteryest feeling N leaves U begging for MORE!
*From ch 1.*
I just thought of something: in chapter 1 we see Kyon trying to kill himself. What if Kyon killing himself was Edmund's plan to destroy Lucaon? Like "get him to love you, then kill yourself". Edmund specifically chose Kyon for a reason, likely because he knew of Kyon's past. I don't think Kyon will die from his suicide attempt, but Lucaon could still react poorly. I need to see what happens next (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Yeah maybe Edwin's trying to make Lucaok turn into a Zero by the emotional pain caused by Kyon dying
Lucaon will think: U'd rather die than stay by my side...
Well play, Edwin, strike at the heart.
For fuck sakes, his is the worst cliffhanger in the series. I'm about to have a heart attack.
What's the point of scanlating this if you're going to white out the sex? I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but this work is literally all porn and no story. It just doesn't make sense to blank out the important stuff. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
They aren't the ones whiting out the sex. The countries of origin do as part of their censorship. There is a movement for some groups to redraw the penises etc. but not all groups can do this. I appreciate the translations and still find it hot, but my mind is good at filling in blanks
Well, I've read the scans elsewhere and they weren't censored, so I figured it was the English scanlators that censored it. It could be the case that the scans they used were already blanked out, though.
Almost 99% of modern mangas/manhwas and manhuas as well as Hentai videos are censored because of strict censorship laws in asian countries. A few scanlating groups with editors who are proficient in graphic design use graphic software to "uncesor" the sex, and by "uncesor" I mean that they create/draw the genitalia, which is not original to the author's work. The point is that the censoring is done by the publisher and has nothing to do with the scalantors.
I knew about Asian censorship laws and how groups "uncensor" some works. I wasn't thinking when I posted the OP. I guess I was wondering why they didn't use the uncensored scans, but that's probably because they didn't have permission from the group that uncensored them. Oh well, I'm still grateful for any scanlated work done.
I agree, uncensored or not, just the fact the manga is translated is a blessing to us fujoshis and fudanshis (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Why all the hate for the cousin? He loved/loves Masaki and from the cousin's perspective, Masaki was cold to him when they were younger and then basically abandoned him. Then he finds out Masaki has given himself to an Alpha. I can't blame the guy for being upset.
Same... obviously in relationships noone owes you anything but when someone you care about acts cold with you and then one day you see them act completely differently it hurts. Logically we should be happy for them but its not that simple. We want people we care about to be just as happy around us as they are with other people.
That doesn't give him any right to refuse to hand over the letter that belongs to HIS FATHER, that HIS FATHER instructed him to HAND OVER. That is acting like a child.
Iam not hate him all..In fact I thought he maybe have "special" feeling to masaki. I Wonder if he love masaki all the time.. (○ﾟεﾟ○)
Oh, I have no doubt he has and still does love Misaki. It still DOESN'T EXCUSE his behaviour. He is being disrespectful to everyone else, INCLUDING his father, by acting this way.
Yes, If he alpha maybe he can push misaki although must take force.. But in reality he is beta. So he can't force it... And yet his personality to understand..
The cousin's being a pain, but family and close friends who really care about you are often difficult. Masaki ignored and rejected communicating with his family, and it hurt the cousin's feelings. We really shouldn't take what the guy's saying word for word. He had to act difficult to make Masaki take notice of him and talk things out, or else, Masaki wouldn't have considered talking to him at all. He would have just received the envelope and said goodbye and that's it.
It's one of these things that you have to grit your teeth and face it.
Same here. I still don't get why people hate his cousin. Seems to me his cousin is just worried. Since in volume one Matsuo , Hiromu's cousin (?), was one of the first people they told when Masaki was pregnant remember what he said to Masaki? Masaki at one point told them how he wanted to have to family end with him (or something around those lines AKA no kids) but when when he and Hiromu found out his mind changed from that since he was happy with Hiromu. And since Masaki didn't really contact anyone from his family much or go home at all in years it's understandable that his cousin thought something like "I thought you never wanted to give yourself to an Alpha. Why are you with him?" Not out of malice but out of worry. Like he thought Masaki was forced into it not that Masaki chose to be with Hiromu. So I understand that he is acting so oddly. Not to intentionally hurt Masaki but wanting to make sure Masaki wasn't 'acting' happy and was actually happy. Since the way he treated Yuuki and Matsuo was like 'what are you guys here to make this alpha look better? Are you trying to convince me of something that isn't there?'
(It keeps posting my comment on the wrong threads)
same here
I hope Lucaon rips Edwin a new one. Fuck you Edwin for messing with Kyon.
Serious question: why is this so popular? Is it genuinely any good? I watched the first episode of the anime and it seemed like another stereotypical action shounen, so I haven't went further than that. But everyone is hyping about it so I was wondering if the hype was warrented. I typically look for good characterization and character development (not power ups, or any BS like that, but actual character development) and character relationships and interaction (not romance). A unique plot concept is good too. I know it's about heroes and kids training to be heroes, etc, but that doesn't sound that appealing to me, tbh. I'll roll with it if the story is strong in other areas, though.
So, should I give this another shot?
I like it because it feels refreshing. It is a stereotypical shounen, yes, but this time the mc isn't dumb as fuck, the female characters are useful and they aren't reduced to love interests (actually there isn't any love interest among them), there is a real rival... And the mc isn't completely op XD (I'm thinking about Naruto, Bleach and Fairy Tail when I say that)
There are a lot of characters so not all of them are well-developped, but at the same time I don't think anyone is willing to have 10 chapters of flash back for every single character ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I would suggest watching the anime first, because its pace is better than the manga's in the first chapters. Then if you like it, come back and read the manga.
Clearly it's not the manga of the century, but it's not bad either ;)
And if you want a good ongoing shounen manga, please try http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kimetsu_no_yaiba/ ^^
Thank you for the reply and recommendation :) I'll check them both out then.
This manga has nothing special, if you see people excited about this you have to consider that people love the cliche, is excited by a good drawing and is pleased with things like shipping yaoi and characters with a nice design, the animation was good but the content of the story is the same as ever.
The female characters do almost nothing, as in so many other shonen and seinen.
There is no character development higher than what has been shown in manga like Naruto and in many cases is lower than this.
There are power ups from the beginning of the manga to the current saga and the fights are developed in the classic 1 vs 1 of all life, with the classic power of love and friendship, only adhered with a flash of strategy that more than anything is an overexposure of dialogue.
The world in which the story unfolds is limited to the city where the protagonist lives and to his school life.
The level of the manga is very similar to Naruto in its first part, if you like this, then you can read with confidence
Well, that was the impression I got. I suppose I can watch a few episodes of the anime and go from there.
It's also packed with feels and have great character development. All of the characters are likable with each having their own problems to overcome :)
