Bouryoku Banzai - Ch. 41 - Ripple

[KnightSpark]

He hasn't met walking plot armor yet.

Is that what you're calling Setsuna?

 

[Solipsist]

So basically:
Assistant: "sir we can't brutalize / murder people on-air, there are laws, we're going to get shut down and lose everything."
Producer guy: "Wow! It's that bad? That means our show is SO MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT!"

Uh, no, guy, you need to listen. It's already crazy they weren't shut down with the knife fights.
If the characters admit that they're gonna get shutdown because of the exceseive violence, then it better happen.

It has an additional 25% buff to your fighting spirit.

ppl levels up on each bed time together, the only downside is your limbs sore all over in the morning

 

[velatic]

nobody bring in a gun yet? or heck home cooked grenade also works

 

[brndndss]

not even just hugged back, lookin at her hand placement and his head on pillow, he pulled her on top of him

 

[Kaiofficialone]

Lucky bastard....tch

 

[Orpheus7]

Don't know how to feel after reading War Crime and seeing the guy hand holding a Loli

 

[Iskarioth]

Wait a second, so it is just okay to broadcast no holds barred fights and stabbings? Nobody cares huh?

Usually I can convince myself " hey it's fantasy" but for some reason this manga just feels completely implausible, it kills any kind of immersion.

A good start. Also liked he hugged Rikudou back. Expect cuddles every time he’s injured badly but…

Seggs wen?

You guys talk about sex like she wouldn't consider that a worthless use of time and energy.
Girl can't think about anything other than training and fighting.
I am also thinking about her role in the story. Is there any concrete reason for her to be training our guy other than it being interesting? In the one-shot storyline (where he was a police officer and she a serial killer) it made sense because he wanted her behind bars and she was looking for a sidekick and thought he loved her.

If having sex helps Akita, then why not? She was willing to cuddle and to take a bath with him. What's stopping her from having sex with him if it motivates him? As it stands right now, Rikudou doesn't have that reason yet but there might be a time if she sees it fit.

Also no need to think deep for this manga. It's grand and all but logic had been thrown out the window ever since the MMA fight (might be even earlier).

Akita: "Why the fuck did i get in to this fighting shit, i'm bruised all over"
Setsuna: "I will now cuddle you"
Akita: "...Well a couple more fights won't kill me"

 

[Josefumi_Maruta]

The war crime man sure seems like every war criminal young guy with white hair of the japanese cultural industry
Heh
I'm not here for original characters honestly

I was her for smut and a somehwat Baki-style fighting story
Really low on the smut, or even sexy department besides our baddie mentor here, but it still has been fun

 

[DeOneChester]

My respect for the protagonist increased 10-fold when he hugged back.

 

[Marborday]

"Walking War Crime" has a nice ring to it

 

[Entity_K]

After reading this chapter
Guess I will die because of hugless

 

[Redheadgearhead]

So is he gunna get expelled or anything?

 

[NotoriousB0B]

I was sure she was gonna attack him in his sleep

 

[MangaDexGreyrat]

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

It ties back to why I am kinda confused as to how she fits the story.
Akita's motivator is mostly revenge against the producer and curiosity about violence.
Setsuna here is both mentor and maybe a potential heroine (even if Akita has shown no romantic feelings towards her, only occasional lust).

But the reason why she's sticking to Akita is... Nebulous.
Sometimes she talks like she's doing it only because it's fun or interesting to train a normie into a killing machine, but sometimes her actions make it seem like she's leading him around: living together, the bath, and cuddling.
Doesn't it make it seem like she wants him to stick around for the training?
Like she's training him with a purpose instead of doing it just because?
Now, a well thought out story would incorporate these elements into a coherent narrative.
As this manga stands, I am willing to bet my breeches she only sticks around and cuddles him occasionally because the author wants big titty crazy jk fanservice.
