Maria no Danzai - Ch. 30 - There’s No Winning This

[Rafalga]

This shit slowly becoming Juujika no Rokunin. Not a good sign.

Not enough rape (fortunately). But this part started to drag on so that is apperant. Also, they made Okaya too inhuman imo. If he suddenly started feel fear and shit when its his turn, it will be highly out of place so i don't think his death will be very satisfying even if he acts out of character. At this point, its no different than putting down a feral animal. He is not human.

Also, like others said, teacher (and a violent one at that) immidiately not german suplexing a middle schooler upon being threatened with everything he has in life, doesn't make any sense. Why would he obey him instaed of trying to silence him for good? Unless Okaya has mindcontrol powers, some of the shit he pulls makes little sense.

Glad that I don't need to ever feel bad for this piece of garbage after this chapter (not as if I ever did in the first place)

Just hope again that we will not learn in later chapters that Okaya secretely build a cult of personality by amassing followers and gives to Maria a more difficult challenge for deal with him.

Elaborate, please. I don't read Juujika.

The evil highschooler in that one tuned out to be a criminal mastermind of an intercontinantal death cult who follows him without question to the point of occupying entire towns as well as being capable of making 1 to 1 copies of people with plastic surgery. Also, LOTS. OF. RAPE. Like in every corner. If you are a female in that series, chances are you have already been raped or at the very least survived one (if lucky). He even introduced lesbian rape in the latest chapters for flavor. It has been used so much for shock value that author managed to make it comical. They kill people, cops, anyone and everyone without getting caught as well.

Yeah, just hope that theses fuckers die quickly, like that fucking manga that already dragging on long enough as it is and which left a real frustrating feeling. Just hope that manga finish soon, even if i know it probably won't stop until the end of the year or the begin of the next. I mean Juujika of course

I think it's a bit too early for that comparison. Everything in Six People in Crosses is contrived: the antagonist is a cartoon villain who somehow managed to throw a country in disarray with some cheap mind manipulation techniques; intermediate opponents are conjured out of thin air; the plot armour is ridiculous, down to a character bringing an electric hammer along to the island raid; all characters do stupid things all the time. It's a textbook case of a shitshow.

LOL it got this fucking bad? I knew it was slop but only dropped it when the protagonist had sex with that rape victim instead of recipocrating his classmate's feelings.

Here we've had modestly plausible plots; an antagonist who's clever but not controlling hordes of brainwashed goons, while mostly in the dark about who's after his guts; the protagonist has so far only had to face people she knew from the beginning, no midlevel goons appearing from nowhere; and the only plot armour so far has been for a villain, that is, Kinugawa's absurd vitality.

Honestly, though, it's probably gonna be the most interesting at the end, kinda like demon slayer. not good writing.

I prefer to interpret the flashback as being more about Okaya than the musclehead guy; we're not supposed to feel sympathy, we're supposed to see Okaya was a cunning and dangerous psychopath even as an elementary schooler. And for the first time, someone draws paralells between him and Maria - I expect that to develop into a plot thread altogether, with Maria's own arc of staring too long into the abyss and becoming what she hates.

You're reading too deep into this. The story is slop, not much different from other revenge manga. The flashback is just there because he's about to die, which is a very common trope.

To the people going “why didn’t the teacher just attack Okaya?”, I think we gotta remember that he clearly comes from a well off family, mostly likely with connections. As such if any physical harm did come to Okaya, you better believe his family would come down hard on the teacher. After all, why else would Okaya say that he doesn’t need money after the teacher says he can give it to him? He already has all the money he’ll ever need and knows that he can get away with anything.

 

[wizard_mouse]

Ok.... that was very dumb, he is not even scared or thinks he can get an advantage, he just does not care. Which immediately contradicts his own character, as he does care for his friends. But at the same time he was a violent kid to begin with, but there is no actual reason for his violence.....but he did end up becoming a sadist....... Why does all revenge porn mangas always have crap writing???

 

[NIB]

You reap what you sow Kinugawa.
Okaya is simply a sociopath, I wouldn't be surprised if he had bipolar disorder.

 

[Hilfranor]

lol this backstory was useless. even before he was getting his shit rocked by the teacher, he was already a violent little shit.

 

[Outflanks10]

Don't worry his character development or lack of won't matter next chapter.
Because he will be dead.

Thanks for the translation Stressed Out Scans

If this was Juujika no Rokunin, we’d have a much more brutal punishment scene of Daimon beating up Kinugawa, alongside scenes of him taking up skirt shots of girls with extreme detail, and finally directly showing him commit suicide. That is to say that it hasn’t gotten to that level yet.

yeah, but the vibes are super similar

 

[rexmundi]

Thank you for the update

 

[NoiseBandit]

I just realized this detail that I don't think anyone has picked up on yet. Before meeting Okaya, Kinugawa probably wasn't a bully bully who enjoyed being violent, more just someone with a bad rage problem who would lash out when he got angry. It was only upon meeting and getting groomed by Okaya that he developed his sadistic streak, enjoying bullying for the sake of hurting others.

 

[Roaljo]

Wait, am I tripping or are the characters based in the 7 deadly sins?

The girl - Lust
Fatty - Gluttony
This dude - wrath
First dude - maybe sloth? I can’t remember him much
Main bad dude - Pride?

I know that leaves space for two more…

But maybe it’s…
The dad - envy (envy’s that his wife is able to take revenge)

That would leave greed?

Alternatively there might be two other bullies we haven’t seen yet (but then that would mean this is going to drag on)

damn I really dgaf about this guy 😭

No one gives a shit about the backstory of some loser. The author really is stalling and dragging shit out.
