It's like a love triangle lmao

We have bros before hoes but, who's the hoe? Are YOU the hoe? Am I the hoe? WHO'S THE HOE?

 

[Lehw]

Choosing who to side with Teru or Hoshizaki remind me of Hunger Game's Peeta and Gale which base the characters not on romantic satisfactions but on ideology
Go with Gale if you think the ends justify the means or go with Peeta, who doesn't think the ends justify the means
Go with Teru if you think that carving a place for yourself is right even if it mean drenching Tsuyoshi in violence (which he didn't want early on) or go with Hoshizaki, kowtowing to the world that screw Tsuyoshi over, so that he doesn't sink deeper into the mud

I do think this relationship triangle is well written

 

[Levankua]

Hoshizaki has fallen!?!

 

[catsdontsmile]

Which side are you on?

• Teru's side
• In the wrong

 

[catsdontsmile]

Lots of people wouldn't let the author cook and this is coming to be the best arc. They've set a saint seiya like stepped structure with a time limit to save the girl in the cruise ship where they'll have 1 on 1 battles and lose members as the others move through
Also I love how Teru and the other dude aren't falling for karate-dude's BS and instantly smelled the rat. Usually you don't see this in manga where some people wise up before shit hits the fan so it's very refreshing

i genuinely don’t know which side i’m on. obviously teru is trying to support tsuyoshi, but ultimately tsuyoshi never wanted any of this in the first place. teru idealizes the ruthless side of tsuyoshi and wants to see him become the biggest yakuza boss through his power, but tsuyoshi wanted to be an artist originally. he only reached this point because he was pushed to the brink and is legally unable to do much else. hoshizaki i believe does still want to support him in his dream to become an artist and is in the best position to actually help him get there, but he's clearly got some ulterior motives with bringing him over to the government, knowing the government was the one who put him in this situation in the first place. i feel like both sides are equally balanced, so trying to decide which side i’m on is way more difficult than i would've expected.

teru:

• made the best out of a bad situation
• what he built wasn't tsuyoshi's dream, but it's what was possible with the conditions at hand. ie you don't always get what you want.
• wants to empower tsuyoshi and set him up as boss.

hoshizaki:

• works for the govt who put tsuyoshi in that bad situation.
• wants tsuyoshi to work for them in order to fix the problems they caused for him. (same as the old guy who got him jailed and then got him out by making him join his group)
• lied to tsuyoshi saying he isn't using this situation to manipulate him, when he admitted he totally is
• this roads leads to tsuyoshi becoming enslaved to the govt. in a form similar to the agents from psycho-pass only tsuyoshi is a victim.

This girl is blushing because her captor has dark hair and glasses, OH BROTHER.

 

[Key_news]

This guy is easy to be manipulated, your groups have already big, don't leave them like an asshole

 

[Soneca]

As much as the government in this series is a crapshoot and should not be exempted of blame for their shit, I'd say it's better to not give Teru too much credit, or fault, same for Hoshizaki.

First, the government, the Oniwaban led by shitty and short baldy with a god complex (Okouchi), and the oligarchs/elite are not the same. You can clearly see the disagreement the current prime minister, Hoshizaki's father, had during the conflict of Japan x Russia where Tsuyoshi was kidnapped and later freed himself, it's most obvious with his duel with the russian prince (forgot his name), same with the team battle for Tsuyoshi of the Oniwaban vs the mixed band. Hell, there's even the US military taking part, and they were only pushed back because Tsuyoshi and his mom made everyone crap their pants.

Regarding choosing team Teru or Hoshizaki, they're both bad friends for Tsuyoshi. Hoshizaki mostly for abandoning him during the period where he was labeled an anti-social and was isolated on Okinawa, at first you could say he was busy working as the PM secretary and Tsuyoshi was finally going to art college, but he would obviously know what happened to him after Tsuyoshi was kicked out. And Teru, he pushes Tsuyoshi's worse tendencies to light, in some ways the harm he does to Tsuyoshi is the same that he does to himself and that has been done systematically to him since he was young, same as Hoshizaki, he does what he thinks is right, which doesn't make it a good thing, though it makes the narrative go in hilarious directions imo.

I still regret we didn't see Tsuyoshi fuck up the oligarchs, but maybe we'll see that in the future, I find it unlikely. Now, chinese Sasuke feels like a classic faux affably evil, I can imagine him wanting to take Saki for his personal satisfaction or to position her against Tobio or later Tsuyoshi, which is likely to backfire in a funny way.

Anyway, thank you very much for the scanlation, can't wait to see where this goes next.

Well, Saki is a woman... and we're reading Tsuyoshi. You know how are the women in this story

 

[Knighto]

with tsuyoshi's luck, calling it already, he gonna curbstomp the place and the girl is gonna protect the taiwanese chief

 

[Thebel]

Choosing between Hoshizaki or Teru is like choosing between law and chaos. By choosing law (Hoshizaki), you get stability and peace, but you need to submit yourself to the system and receive responsibilities in turn. By choosing chaos (Teru), you get to be free from the system's influence and can do whatever you want, but you will need to constantly defend the place you have created for yourself and can never rest because it's survival of the fittest. In the end both choices are terrible.
In Tsuyoshi's case, though, I feel that choosing to become the government's lapdog would be the lesser of two evils—that is if they can truly lift his anti-social status. The prime minister knows Tsuyoshi and his capabilities, so I doubt he'd demand too much from him (at least as of this chapter; things can still change), even if only not to piss him off. Tsuyoshi would probably need to fight a few matches per year and would otherwise be free to live his life as he sees fit. Not an ideal outcome, but he'd probably have more peace of mind than he does now.

The gleam in his eyes is gone...

That's the most heartbreaking thing that happened on this manga, this man was hope incarnate, and now there is nothing anymore.

 

[theshet]

Teru is okay for MC, but not the best. Because for him he HAS to be the go to guy, his inability to "share" MC or not feel a superiority by being closest to him is why he ISNT good for MC longrun.

I hate that you may be right

this seems a bit biased
