Is that soldier's gf the same lady we saw at the end of chapter 5? Considering the author it wouldn't surprise me if she managed to take revenge on one (or all) of Danya's sibling .

Am I the only one not vibing with series at all?

It’s leaning really heavily into the hard-boiled Soviet cyberpunk noir aesthetic. I’m digging it, but I gotta admit that is an extremely niche genre.

 

[vylix]

I like this chapter, what a way to show the human behind a 'bad guy'

Page 2:
Sign "Только наличный расчёт": "Cash only"

Page 6:
So, it's an Ace Combat universe?
Trivia time: In reality blatnoi is not an organization but a highest caste in Russian criminal hierarchy. It's a substantive noun, and as such it's subjected to inflection rules. So, correct usage would have been "blatnye" instead of "blatnoi guys".

Page 7:
Newspaper "...ОС ГАЗЕТА": probably "РОС ГАЗЕТА" - "RUS NEWSPAPER"

Page 12:
Sign in the front "ДЗ...": no idea
Sign in the back "Проте...": could mean a few things, my guess is "Протезы" - "Prostheses".

Page 15:
I find it funny how author keeps using "Ч" instead of "Ц" in Muromets' name, yet makes distinction between "Ш" и "Щ" in a story.

Page 20:
Handwritten note "Мишень": Literally "shooting target". "Цель" (simply "target"), would've been a better choice of a word.

There's nothing niche about it. It's just generic action with no real hook. Bland, mid, unspecial, made by an author who can't write and only got attention from cheap shock value in the first place. The aesthetic is only surface level.

Hater gotta hate. From your previous comments on other manga it seems like you're a professional hater

I don't hate good manga. There are at least 5 or 6 of those.

Must be the art then? I dig the story and revenge setup.

In other words, you're a snob.

 

[Turkeyjerkey]

In other words, you're a snob.

Do enough reading and thinking and it'll happen to you too. If you still have the ability to be entertained by mediocre dreck then treasure that.

But don't worry when you inevitably become like me, it's not so bad. The scope of what you can enjoy narrows, but the depth of your appreciation for what remains will grow.
