What do they do with all that hitman money if most people won't take it

 

[Isopotonic]

The black market has everything in stock and more I'd reckon

Thank you for the update!

 

[Iroboke]

Love the world-building on this chapter: the classic TV panel discussion representing different viewpoints, the doodles signalling dens, the encroachment of the state on individual freedoms through digitization and surveillance, the existence of a ranking system for assassins (No More Heroes anyone?) and a black market for identities; I just love seeing this dystopian world fleshed out. Asano has already explored similar thought-experiment scenarios about rights-holders and rights-less people in some of his one-shots and I'm hoping to see what he can do with the theme on a broader canvas.

Dude can't stop wearing the real-world influences on his sleeve though: Yasuo is clearly modeled on Noda Yojiro from RADWIMPS, what with the sensitive lyrics and his success as a composer of movie themes, and the Megiddo's blackballing tactics on the entertainment industry recall the late Johnny Kitagawa of Johnny's, whose pedo exploits were recently the subject of a BBC documentary.

Kudos to the team for all their work in bringing this to a wider audience. Thanks!

I usually really like his manga, but this one is boring right from the start.

Hated the exposition here, there was not a lot of character interaction. Though the relation between Ubume and Juno makes me wonder if neither of them remembers Ubume didn't give a fuck about Juno when she was about to be raped

 

[Coldlight]

I wonder if Ubume will take the offer? At face value, it seems like a good proposition getting an assassin to get rid of previously untouchable, heinous people in high places, but we also only have Mimi's word for it. If her story about this power couple is true, then Ubume's decision could serve as a test of where her alignment lies.

That sequence of events seemed extra weird to me. Ubume seemingly fought on the side of the would-be rapist Yasuo, but it's her that Juno stuck to like an elder sister; Ubume then escaped the building together with both Juno AND her would-be rapist, and once they left the building the attempted rape seemed like it got completely swept under the rug and memory holed as if it never happened.

Seems like shit is about to go down

Yeah, this bothered me, too. I get that we're dealing with amoral underworld (overworld?) characters in an "edgy" dystopian setting, but I'm enough of a moralist/idealist that letting a wealthy human trafficker & child rapist off scot-free sticks in my craw. At least flense his glans or something...

I dunno, maybe he'll come in handy against the Megiddos?

Hell yeah. Fuses have been lit

how is it amoral? there is literally no fucking difference between a 15 and 16 year old and you call him a pedo? the age of consent in most of the usa is literally like 16, thats like 1 year diference, plus the girl was doing this to hire people to kill all her family and classmates.

moralfags like you don't even give a shit about children,
just like the girl who broke in didn't give a shit that she almost slashed and killed the so called kid she tried to protect, in fact she wasn't even here to that she took a job and thats all lmao, if the opposite was true and the roles were reversed it would have made no difference.
