yeah... I can barely wait for FMC to kill the asshole.
i'll be surprised if fat boy doesn't end up betraying the ringleader simply because he doesn't care enough to actually risk his neck for him. out of all the bullies,he is easily the tamest simply because he is fine just being a spectator so i think that will give maria an edge in getting to the ringleader when fat boy sells him out,if not just let's him and maria fight it out because he can't be bothered to actually help.Lmao at everyone bitching at Okaya's mom being the corrupt Police-Chief and everyone misusing the word "cliche". It's not at all cliche: it was a great unexpected twist that he has a parent in the Police-Force protecting him. Honestly, I was expecting him to have some serious blackmail on the mocking pencil-neck Police-Superior like he did with that Teacher-Coach that bullied the Jock when he was a kid - now that's predictably cliche.
It changes the story's formula a bit and makes it interesting again. It was kinda getting boring for three arcs: pick off a clique member, punish him/her in a way related to his/her sins, confusing but getting closer figuring it out aftermath for the villians. Now the story has progressed further enough that the formula has to change a bit because the villian-cast can now be a legitimate antagonistic force given they've acquired enough evidence to have prime suspects/suspicions.
I have a feeling that shit is gonna get exponentially intense with Fat-Boy. Like, Maria is gonna finally seriously slip up given the more laser-focused scrutiny getting on her when she kills Fat-Boy. Like, Fat-Boy dies but he gets the last laugh because somehow he confirms she's the killer with his death - so Okaya and Maria have an intense battle where they are trying to kill each other without it getting public (Okaya sorta doing it like so because he finds the whole situation entertaining af). I still think Fat-Boy will be really different, like somehow a deal is attempted or struck with Maria to get to Okaya in exchange for his own life being spared. Maybe Fat-Boy might even be the first to escape his death-punishment somehow; like on his dying deathbed he reveals Maria is the killer to Okaya before he dies.
how else would they get away with the inciting incident if not for connections. I wouldn't call this a twist but I would question as to why this was even held back so long when it's something most people probably assumed anyway.Such a cliche "twist" that the villain has an in with the police and it's their parent
I wouldn't go that far. Juujika's whole cult twist was WAY more absurd than just having a cop mother covering up for him. That shit was so goofy in Juujika I still can't believe it.Welp, comment 19 beat me to it, but yeah, now I can see a tiny bit of Juujika in this. Damn, till this chapter the author was keeping the suspension of disbelief within the realm of the acceptable. Now it's barely hanging by a thread.
I can still enjoy it because it hasn't reached "copping out from the latest cop-out" levels: for example, we knew Okaya had a twisted relationship with his mother, and we knew Maria knows her. So while over-the-top, it's still tied up and not "bringing along an electric hammer to an island raid" and "VR simulation that behaves like time travel" bullshit.
Nothing similar to JnR, except for school bullying going too far.Getting real close to Juujikanizing your work, mangaka-san.
Thread carefully.
Yup, you either get criminal incompetence or straight up criminal activity from cops in these storiesacab as usual
Going off what she said in this chapter and this text, im guessing that he's also somehow blackmailing his mother because like What kind of mother would use san for their own childI wondered if she would appear at some point, but damn, this was a surprise. I remember her being mentioned back in Ch 13 via a text exchange with Nozomu.
Seishuu Handa's mother from Barakamon calls her son with the -san honorific, if I recall.Going off what she said in this chapter and this text, im guessing that he's also somehow blackmailing his mother because like What kind of mother would use san for their own child
