A little blood and a little whipping is gore? ... is enough for a viewer discretion?
Yeah, its sad, yeah, its evil... There is a lot worse in the world, and they easily could have been more explicit about it (without changing the age rating).

(I am not reacting to the beheaded bodies because they were shown in the past chapter, which didn't have the warning -- or I missed it -- and the description was matter of fact, and not detailed.)
(P.S. I certainly feel bad for the little girl, but worse still goes on in our world during our time...)

@JustNatsuki Agreed, it's so edgy I can't even take their pain seriously, so just indulge your inner sadist, I know I do!

On another note, I kinda like this Jeanne chick as is, So I hope she's not secretly suffering inside........

This story has probably the most exposition I've ever seen. There's so little personality in the characters as well, most of it is just a bunch of reactions.

I still find the story interesting though, because
I want to see how their endeavour to overthrow the country will go.

It's rather amazing to see an author put so much work in making his characters as op as possible and then give them the easiest challenges he can think of and then seeming to expect us to be impressed.

@Aricitic "But what about"-ism is also a major problem in our world and you seem to be suffering from it. "They whipped me so much that I was bleeding a ton and even fainted, and were trying to do it more saying it wasn't enough!" "Yeah, I hear you, but what about the people who get their guts shown? You should just be glad that's not what happened." Fucked up shit is still fucked up shit, doesn't matter how used to it you personally have become from other, more gory depictions of it.

EDIT: Apparently mislabeled it to Garrett, my bad.

KazumiSangaku, is that a reply to Garrett, which is the way the @ makes it seem, or a reply at me, which is what the response makes it seem like.

In my defense I certainly do feel bad for the girl, for the entire town; and I really don't need to have that called into question. But what was depicted is not, in this industry, defined as "Gore" (and here I am not referring to R-18 material but Japanese manga in general), so I found the warning a little unwarranted. FFS if that deserves a warning then Deadman Wonderland needs to have a massive warning in its description and ahead of each chapter, but it doesn't. And given the extreme range of usage and meanings of tags just putting "tragedy" or "psychological" in as a tag can mean anything from "the parent of the MC's friend died before the first chapter and is never referenced again" to "every chapter (or arc) ends with everyone we become emotionally invested in dies in a horrible way." (FFS, ecchi - which means what hentai means here, in Japan, btw - can mean that a character's underwear is shown with some regularity, or it can mean what To Love-Ru means.)

So, yeah, it is tragic that the girl is whipped. It is tragic that the town is forced to work themselves to death and eat travelers. It is sad that horrible things happen, and I am sorry that you all were exposed to it, but I still don't believe that this level of horrible warrant a warning - especially when other manga of the same age range as others with worse and consistent material.

P.S. just an FYI, the little blurb stating a story is purely fictional and has no relation to any real world places, people or events... That is a legal blurb required for companies to be off the hook legally. It isn't required for fan translators.

@Aricitic Hello, I'm the scanlator here. I made the decision to put a warning due to the amount of people saying how it went too dark in the last chapter. The warning is not official. I'm not saying people under 18 can't read it. I'm just saying that this chapter features a scene of a minor being tortured and some people might not be comfortable with it. If you have no problem with the scene doesn't mean everyone else is as well. I personally didn't want to look at that page whilst I was cleaning and translating it. Therefore I've deemed it necessary for a warning page before the chapter. I understand that there are many other manga out there that are way way darker than this but it is still a lot darker compared to it's previous chapters. However, after talking with a few readers, it seemed to have created the wrong effect from what I wanted. I'm sorry if it has ruined the experience for you.

Phymiath, thank you for replying directly. I was in no way criticizing your decision. It is your decision to make. I was calling into question its necessity, mostly because I have noticed a tendency to blow things having to do with Manga WAY out of proportion.
I did feel uncomfortable reading it. I felt bad, pain even, for the whipped girl...
However I feel anger more than anything. Anger at how the mangaka is essentially sensationalizing this. Everything (almost) in this manga is sensationalized and most of the tragedy is completely unnecessary.
Most "pulled into another world" manga are about an empowered beyond human means human doing things with their new power. Often these are unnecessary (either at all or in scale), but this manga doesn't follow the premise of "empowered in a new world (by the mechanics of that world)" but instead "unrealistically 'perfect' people going to a world 'worse off than our own' to solve things that have been solved with time here". And I feel that I must point this out, most of what they are solving and the ways they solve it can be done HERE, so not only isn't the"other world" necessary, it is negligent...

Often the Isekai manga have some grasp of the relationship these medieval European worlds have/had and work around that. This one does not (appear to). It uses this well known construct in the same way some manga/mangaka use Japanese isolationism to construct their fiction: "we were right to isolate, the rest of the world is factually out to destroy us for our indepence and resources. They are monsters and we are the only civilized people." While it is true that the west created unfavorable relations (treaties) at the time, Japan has seriously benefited from it, and themselves began taking a Brittish stance of creating colonies (i.e. WWII). Basically, they are missing the point entirely. They could use the story to show how unfair the world is/can be (e.g. parts of "Happy World" among others), but instead they use it only to further how "awesome" the seven are.
(The above paragraph was an edit. And since I lost track trying to research the above point I will stop here so I don't say anything -further- stupid)

So, yeah, I feel bad for the little girl, her family, and the village. I feel bad for the entire world there, but I also feel that they are an unnecessary artificial construct created purely to show how "awesome" the seven are. And, I feel that I need to point out that the mangaka has, themselves pointed out how unnecessary some of the new events are since the weapons they manufacturer could sweep through the medieval era they are in, and they coukd provide aid once the hostiles are removed - i.e. they are letting people suffer.

So, I wasn't calling into question your right to put the warning. I wasn't calling into question that people would be negatively affected by it. I was calling into question the necessity of it all.

@Aricitic People are probably just jarred by the contrast between the torture porn and fluffiness til now.

gaigous, I wish you hadn't said that. I wish I didn't have to add yet another thing.

If you think the past two chapters (and two pages of the one before) is torture porn, then you are FAR too ignorant of what content Japan creates. An innocence I wish I shared. (Seriously, some of the non-R-18 manga really should be R-18...)

It is jarring. But it was expected given the bull shit (checks rules about swearing, leaves as is) that has been pulled already.
They were going to burn people alive. It is simply escalating, and I am afraid (seriously) of what will be pulled next. I honestly hope this is as bad as it will get, but I just as honestly doubt it.

P.P.S, for now please excuse any idiotic spelling mistakes, I am writing on my phone, which isn't doing spell check, and actually usually behaves like spelling.istakes are correct (that, for example). Also, sonas to not spam, I will refrain from responding to anything else for some time (hours/days)

@Aricitic I've "read" various legit Guro hentai, so that's just not true, it's simply a term of convenience in this case, although I wish more things would receive a rating accurately representative of their content, at least that way helicopter parents and puritanical morons don't have an excuse to break out the pitchforks when something has "sensitive" content.

Also, I love grimdark type stuff, especially when an author pushes the envelope farther than I thought they would.

I tried reading this, but the students immediately rubbed me the wrong way. Everything looks so easy to them, there's no sense of struggle or even effort. They feel smug even without meaning to. I usually don't mind OP protagonists, but those, I just want to beat up.

@Eloyas, agreed with you. to them are think "THIS IS FUCKING EASY PASY GAME" no struggle and hardship whatsoever, even OP protagonist in other trash isekai manga they have. I only can feel they are bunch of cocky brat.
Well I still reading this because of the plot, development, I have no problem with dark theme or edgy theme. But I hardly stand with arrogant protagonist.
