i don't feel like writing much right now, but i hope to do some more complete reviews of these 3 titles at some point... i'd rather be concise with words, and just include some images to make up for it xP
i'm on chapter 138 of Liar Game. i only stopped reading because the series is ongoing, and there's no more available to read :X i'm addicted to that series, hehe. i guess i could go ahead and watch the drama to catch up with where i'm at now... i'll probably be disappointed though <(`o`;)> anyways, here's a few images from the Liar Game manga:
 |
| i absolutely HATE Yokoya! before this page, i liked him-- but as soon as he killed those mice, my allegiance faltered. |
this panel actually makes sense... and in fact, the game does turn out to be pretty intense! but i just found it to be funny out-of-context :>
having exhausted what is available for me to read for Liar Game, i decided to check out some other series in the same genre of "high-stakes games"-- an area previously unexplored by me! :o i think that i'll actually give a chance to One-Outs, Bus Gamer, Kaiji, and Akagi-- all of which did not appeal to me before Liar Game, even though i had heard of them.
last night, i didn't sleep at all. instead, i read Jisatsu Sakuru/Jisatsu Circle/Suicide Circle/Suicide Club! it was quite good. i also read another 6-chapter one-shot called Reset. it was... interesting. o_O sorta confusing, and not really my usual genre. but it was good-- good art, good characters (considering the character development limitations of a one-shot), good quotes... here is an out-of-context panel that i found to be especially amusing:
 |
| oh! good thing you have that! |
and actually, this is sorta how i felt after reading all this psychological seinen manga all night:
 |
| i believe they call that a MINDFUCK. |
note about the above image: in the girl's case, it was kind of a more LITERAL mind-rape. O_O read the manga to find out what i mean <_<; (i didn't want to see that.)
so! that's all for now folks~
