So Okaya was super interested in Nagare because he never ran away or gave up like his previous victims. Nagare kept fighting and denying him, which in turn made Okaya feel like he had to destroy him more. But, the way that scene was drawn made it seem like Okaya was sexually/romantically interested in Nagare. Which would turn this story into a very twisted “bully teases crush” trope that it does not really need considering how brutually cruel these people are. No amount of backstory can justify them torturing and murdering Nagare.
I doubt this is the case considering Yuda was their victim before, unless Okaya also had a crush on him too.

What was with the flower imagery when the boy said he'd never run away from him? It gives it a very weird sexual desire angle to it.
I wonder if they knew eachother before the bullying started. This is a change in someone he knew and was obstinante to stay in that position to get that guy to stop acting this way? But in the end it was his true nature type sh*t

I'm going to be honest here, I honestly like the dynamic between Okaya and Ajiki. Both are scums, but acknowledge their partnership is just for shits and giggles which makes their interactions a lot more interesting than the BS Kyou pulled with his fellow bullies in JnR.

Besides, I'm also in the camp that Okaya had a twisted interest in Kiritaka because he never surrendered to his bullying.

Yeah I agree about the stuff in JnR. Like sure in this series it is sometimes questionable why the group lets Okaya lead them, but in JnR Kyou just acts exceedingly cruel to them and they just take it and sometimes even enjoy it? It just makes it all the more weird and uncanny.

Kinugawa isn't dead yet, the explosion will have hurt him - possibly crippled him - but Maria will come finish him off with the cruelty he himself inflicted.

Hoping for this. Death by crossbow was FAR too merciful for that little bastard. Eagerly await the SAW contraption she's got planned for him now he's hopefully helpless.

I started Juujika no Rokunin but as soon as the teenagers had whole gangs under their command lost interest. I skipped ahead a d it just got worse. While Maria has some issues at least it's kept the revenge to a small group and not bloated out.

Yeah Juujika really flirted with completely upending the suspension of disbelief. Like how tf are 15 year olds running whole illegal prostitution rings with an army of men under their wing?

Okaya tries to be a smartass with "Why don't you just run away" when his victim's got his hands tied and can't actually escape even if he wanted to. (Don't tell me it's his latent kink or something) But it's all moot when Mari's sweet little boy just won't break and run no matter how much they directly hurt him. It's only when they tried to drag Mari's name into their sick games that they got him to break.

Kinugawa is too much of a deranged musclehead to comprehend that he's not the hunter here. So he walks into a trap and takes a burning flour blast, which I don't think outright killed him, but later will when the air becomes saturated with flour. Then with enough flour in the air a true flour explosion like what happens in old flour mills will demolish him AND that house (if that's what Maria intends).

It's fun to see Maria slowly destroy Kinugawa, but the longer she takes to kill him the higher the chances that Okaya and friends can save him and that's not good. I don't expect the dude's dead considering how much of a cockroach he's been this entire time, but he should have taken significant damage from that since fire was involved.

I kinda find the need for explaination of a psychopaths motives moot. Their brain doesn't function in any understandable level so if you gonna portray your villians as irredeemable psychopaths like in this case, don't bother with their motive or backstory.

"Hence i won't kill them the moment i capture them" Sigh... So she will be captured for sure now. I hate when authors put in something so on the nose to their story.

it's really gay, like, there's so many YAOI/BL manga use this kind of trope where the oh so 'unfulfilled guy' find some other guy he couldn't 'break' and he found it amusing enough to keep teasing him and then found out he saw this poor victim special and fall in love with him or something.

I started this manga a year ago at a work I hated, now I work at a different place I hate but there are only 2 bullies alive left.
Wild to be here from start of serialisation to finish
