Taika no Risei - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Rain, Fall!

This is going to be REALLY HARD to defend

 

[Theozilla]

IDK man, Paru is the author, you gotta drop that to at least 70%

Especially with author comment from Paru Itagaki at the end of this debut chapter.

And the cover art with the handcuffs acting as a collar is definitely kinky imagery.

was the previous gou/host-san manga ended ?

 

[Robinisback]

Who the fuck let Paru see this meme?

Why is no one talking about the fact that she's more worried about her pit bull being discriminated against, even though that same pit bull just mutilated her dad? Is this girl a psycho? I don't get her reasoning. She loved her dad, yet she's prioritizing the very fucking dog that killed him?

Her dad and her dog are the only two things in the world that she loves, and she just lost one of them. Not continuing to love the dog as best as she can would not only result in her losing everything she loves but also definitely wouldn't be what her father would want, since he loved the dog too.
Besides, it's clear this girl isn't normal; she's hyper cynical, a bully, spends her time arguing with people online, and calls her dad's corpse an object... Obviously she's abnormal. There wouldn't be a story if she wasn't.

Looking at the kind of stuff you usually leave comments on, I can see why you'd struggle to grasp the complexity of her situation...

The sexual tension is unbearable.
You know it‘s gonna happen eventually. You just know.

Other than that… I‘m not as convinced as I was with Beastars. Let‘s see, but the MC and her reaction to her own father being (seemingly) killed by the dog is already very off-putting. Makes it hard to sympathize with her. Which is okay, that kind of story can work too. But the most popular stories are usually those with kind, sympathetic MCs that the readers can cheer on.

@jawsh
Typo on page 46:
Three was nothing... > There was nothing...

Should be fixed. Sorry for that.

Very interesting first chapter. With a lot of first chapters in the last year, I've thought "this doesn't have legs" or "I'm not interested in what's next," but this one's got me hooked. Who the hell knows where the story's gonna go, we barely even understand the setting so far. Here's hoping Paru gets to do plenty of insane weird worldbuilding like she did in early Beastars with this.

Weekly? Monthly?

Weekly, unless she starts to imitate her father and starts taking 3~ breaks a month.
It's a great opening, I agree. Characters feel very human and complex for a shonen manga, while still being easy to understand as a reader (some people in these comments are still failing though...)
Sanda had a similar start, where the world they were living in was clearly very different to ours but was barely touched on to begin with and slowly expanded upon as the story needed. Hoping for the same here.

Paru's manga have the track record of having very strong first impressions and this one is no different. I agree that the synopsis i saw floating around in certain manga news sites may have given people the wrong idea, in execution, I can get an idea for what this is going for and I am intrigued, there's a 100% chance extremely fucked up and horny stuff will eventually happen and i am in.

Thank you so much for picking this up.

 

[tototototoo]

Paru is cooking again and not only does it smell delicious but the small bit I tasted is very promising as well!

 

[Levankua]

Keep going Paru I wanna see how deranged it can get

 

[YyAoMmIi]

was the previous gou/host-san manga ended ?

on pause, should restart next month for part 2

 

[LuznoLindo]

After Drama Queen, i cant believe theres another immigration vs Japan manga so soon lol

I really hope you were joking here, because that isn't at all what this manga's about. Honestly, I don't think that's what Drama Queen's about, either. There may be parallels, yes, but to think that's what their about based on parallels alone is foolish. Then again, the Internet's chock-full of fools who don't use their brains for anything worthwhile.

 

[LuznoLindo]

That aside, it looks like the plot of this manga's going to devolve into some depraved nonsense very soon. Why Ao thought hiding the body of her father to protect her pet instead of calling the police and telling them what happened, I'll never know. Then again, there wouldn't be a story if she did the former... but, if the story hinges on her doing the former--which is clearly a dumb decision nobody would ever do--it should've hinged on her doing something else but the former.

The only other thing I can think of is it's a set-up and Taika got manipulated somehow.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

Why are there so many people who think that a person always makes a rational decision in a time of great stress?

It‘s not about being rational, it‘s about being realistic. We saw that the MC, despite the teenage edginess, loved her father. This nonchalant attitude when confronted with his disfigured corpse is very unrealistic and off-putting and drives a wedge between her and the reader. Maybe that‘s what Paru intended, but if not then it‘s bad writing. She‘s certainly not gonna be a Legosi, that‘s already clear.

You think that it’s unrealistic that people make bizarre decisions when under traumatic stress?
