[Kaiji] I haven’t read anything since the one poker with Kazuya…

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:02Yeahx12

You read that well.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:51

>>1Crab 🦀

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:02

I have bought all the volumes, but I haven’t even unwrapped the plastic yet.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:04

Personally, I think the swamp arc is the peak.
I don’t really understand things like cheating mahjong or trust games.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:05

It’s just that I’m gambling to that extent…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:07

The black-clad guys say there’s no way Kazuya-sama could lose.
It’s a loss.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:07

I’m reading the escape arc as well, but I think it’s way too tedious as a weekly series.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:08Yeahx1

The story from the swamp section has become sluggish, and it has gotten even more intense since then.
The anime really ends at just the right spot.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:11

Personally, one poker was the bottom.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:12Yeahx3

The swamp edition is really interesting.
Seeing through Otsuki’s trickery and from there on the ground
A big gamble to save the underground labor union.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:15Yeahx3

>>9Since then, it has simply become tough to read with the betrayal of the trash.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:13

What’s up with the author starting various works and then quitting them…
What was zero anyway?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:13

What happened to Kazuya again?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:13Yeahx1

Chinchiro had a story development like something out of a boys’ magazine.
It was a bit different from what I was looking for, but it was interesting.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:14

The King of Gamblers probably wanted to play a beautiful Kaiji.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:22Yeahx1

>>13If you choose Safety or Junior, there’s nothing dangerous, and if time runs out for the quarter jump, death can be avoided. They are playing a life-or-death game, but since Zero and the others are acting as if they chose that, it seems they skillfully toned down the urgency that would be unsuitable for a shonen magazine.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:14Yeahx1

The escape arc is really enjoyable if you read it in one go in the paperback.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:14

Talent can wither away, huh…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:16Yeahx4

Bridge crossing with steel beams → Showdown with the Tone River → Showdown with Chairman Hyōdō
I feel like I’ve accomplished everything.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:21

I guess I’m all in on Nikaido now.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:27

It feels like Nikaido is suddenly getting angry and some young people are starting to show bad habits.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:28Yeahx2

Nikaido was much more interesting than I expected, and I thought that rather than the author having run out of ideas, there just wasn’t anything left to do with Kaiji or Akagi.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:34

The escape chapter made me frustrated with the two middle-aged men at the campsite.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:36

One Poker is so slow in its progress that even reading it all at once in a single volume feels too slow…
I think it would be interesting if it could be compiled into about four volumes.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:37

I quite like escaping until I go to the department store.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:38

Please tell me about the 17 steps as well.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:48Yeahx2

I like the part where the three men are living modestly during their escape.
It reminds me of dorm life and my university days.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:55Yeahx1

I wonder if Fukamoto doesn’t really want to continue Kaiji, but just wants Young Magazine to keep going.
Even though it’s not included, they keep using Kaiji at the end.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:58

I wonder if they might even do a reader recruitment gamble or something.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:58

Fukumoto is originally a person who tells stories about human情.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:59

>>29I thought it would definitely end without bouncing if it stayed that way.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:59Yeahx1

Mamiya also toyed with the rich old man of the darkness and in the end made him acknowledge her ability; it felt like a rehash of Washizu and fit within the first volume…
I appreciate that you included the episode with Akagi x Osamu at the end.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)00:59

>和也とのワンポーカー以降読んでないや…Rather, the last one to have a proper conclusion is One Poker, right?
I think it would be better to read the escape chapter once it’s finished.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:00

17 Steps is annoying, but it’s properly interesting.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:08Yeahx1

I feel like I probably can’t portray the tense gambling like when I was younger, but somehow, when it comes to depicting humans, Nikaido is still quite skilled.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:09Yeahx1

The escape arc is quite different from the previous tone, and while it could be considered a slice-of-life, it’s fine as a spin-off.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:11

The bonus content in the Tonagawa paperback was more interesting than all of Tonagawa’s episodes.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:13Yeahx1

The development itself is interesting, but since it’s weekly, the content feels diluted, so it’s just right to read it all at once after forgetting about it for a while.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:15

Although reading “One Poker” all at once was honestly pretty bad, the escape arc is actually quite entertaining when read in its entirety.
Except for the beastiality part.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:19Yeahx1

I feel that I’m the type of mid-length writer who would normally want to wrap things up with a volume similar to Silver and Gold and switch to a new work.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:24

The heroine in Nikaido is normally cute, and I was surprised that someone could draw something like this.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:27

>>41It’s better not to force yourself to draw cute characters, right, Fukimoto-sensei?
Children drawn without consciously trying to depict them as beautiful girls are cuter.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:27Yeahx2

I like the moment when Kazuya declares that from here on, it’s a no-holds-barred game of rigged poker, and Kaiji seizes the opportunity.
Kazuyoshi was far stronger when there was no cheating.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:28

I only remember up until the point where I bribed the old lady next door with some yokan.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:32

>>44You’re amazing for remembering everything!

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:31

According to this magazine, the excessive stretching has been happening since the time of heaven…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:32

I think “Chinchiro Underground” is a masterpiece.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:34

It’s great that golf is featured every week.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:34

The fact that One Poker still drags on with the safety net after the conclusion is amazing.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:36

When I read Nikaido, I think that they still have a lot of motivation.
Whether to resume Kaiji or go for a new work after this is quite uncertain.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:38

Akagi also ended up having that old vibe at the end, which I liked.
If I can draw things like zero and golf, I can somehow manage if I get into it.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:39

Is Nikaido Are interesting?
The other day, when I read it, it was a manga that concentrated all the boring gags of Kaiji and Kurosawa, and it was really uninteresting…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:44

>>52There are plenty of both good and bad aspects, so if you like Fukamoto’s manga, I can recommend it.
Well, the hurdle might be lower…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:39

The boy has done so much, but in the end, it’s all a trick.
I think that if Kaiji has a limited amount of money and has no choice but to live through gambling, then he has no choice but to face the chairman in a one-on-one match…

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:43

Kaiji’s “Double Push!” is clearly visible while he can still earn money in the story!

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:45

17 Steps is somewhat interesting as a game, but…
The president is just a worthless loser who has been cheating from the start.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:46

Fukumoto’s jokes are like a comedian’s slippery comedy, so if you don’t get into it, it’s not funny.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:48

I was able to do it because I read it after it was over.
I wonder how people who read the treasure hunt of Zero in serialization felt.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:49

The punchline of the 17 steps, including the original 4-sou, depends heavily on luck to hook that president, I realized calmly.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:51

I like the one who was accused of bestiality in the escape arc.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:52

The underground chinchiro ends around volume 5, so the pacing is nice.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/24(土)01:53

The underground is naturally focused on pachinko, so it’s no surprise that we quickly get out of there.
