>>287628573>he's still asking people to stop firstAsura has clearly played a paladin with a shitty DM.
>>287628647Also, break next chapter.
>>287628709Why is every mangaka taking breaks?
>>287628941The Japanese cold... is strong!
He's so kidnappeable.
>>287629027Clearly not.
>>287628941It is important to take frequent breaks.
>>287629042He is if you ask nicely!
sex with Asura
>>287628941You're not a real mangaka unless you have deteriorating health.
>>287628941They learned they need to take breaks so they don't keep dying.
>>287628647>hey boss, so I sent all my best guys after that kid and they’ve all disappeared after I listened to them seemingly get slaughtered over the phone by a creepypasta monster>can I keep the rest of my teeth this time?
>>287630268Nah, he's eating the wall clock.
>>287630268They should at least find the burn marks. That's probably suspicious and spooky enough for the boss man to show some mercy. He will get to keep half of his teeth.
he's disappearing too many people for this manga to not end with some kind of twist
>>287631010Will the toothless wonder be the first person smart enough to repent?
Loved this chapter with Asura as a kind of monster or horror entity off screening those kidnappers.
>>287631466I wouldn't be surprised. He's being humanized more than the other criminals and bullies and has already shown a lot of hestitation. Which could be an interesting test for Asura since we also know that he was involved in an assault (maybe even a murder?) similar to the one where Asura's mother was killed.
>>287631455He's already getting physically stronger with each person he keys
>>287631455The twist is Asyra becomes Prime Minister, and creates World Peace by keying world leaders who do bad things.
>>287631880Robbery-homicide, yeah. It is pretty fascinating to think about because even some Nip commenters are going "Ganbare Kanima-san turn things around!" If he actually tries to escape the life but Asura keys him anyway because he can't look past what he did it'd 100% be an extreme turning point for him. Multiple Iruya's would just come out of the door and grab him, I imagine. No worse hell for the dude.
>>287628941you could say mangakas are a dying breed...heh
>>287628302>>287628329>>287628349>>287628379Wonder why we spent 4 pages on this unless this guy will have a bigger role later.
>>287633672he will become the second bishop of asura
>>287633672Yet another reason I think >>287632548 is on the right track. If he is a major turning for Asura, then spending extra time on him makes sense.
>>287631880“Humanized” is a little generous. His hesitation here was over money he wanted to spend partying, not the morality of yet another attempt to abduct a middle school boy.In the event that he comes face to face with Amashiro, I could see him being the first to take up the offer of repentance. However, there’s any number of ways that could go wrong. Big brother could find him or Amashiro could just (rightfully) not believe him and give him the key anyway. Anyway, our hero has done nothing wrong for 31 chapters in a row. What a nice boy.
>>287634604Humanized doesn't mean he's a good person. Just that we are shown more of his human side. His fears, doubts, and desires beyond just beating old ladies to death. And by hesitation I didn't just mean the personnel decisions for this kidnapping. He's almost constantly scared and second guessing everything. Of all the bad deed doers we've seen so far, he's the only one that seems like he'd actually believe Asura. Doubly so now that he got to hear his guys being keyed.I think there's two main ways it could go if he does repent. Either Asura finds out about the old lady and breaks from his current standards to key him despite him stopping his bad deeds. Or he backslides into doing bad deeds and Asura blames himself for giving him that chance. Either way, it would cause a change in the way Asura conducts himself.
>>287630268>Find kid, tell him you know a bad man doing bad things and you will take him right to him>Drop him off at boss man's placeI would do this, it would be the only way to save your ass.>>287631466Maybe he does, but if Asura ever finds him doing bad deeds again he is going straight to hell
>>287630268just leave the city at that point,your best guys got killed, your boss will probably kill you so the best bet would be to run away lol
>>287628573>it went inASURA NO. Rape is wrong!
>>287635880>reverse shota rapeour hero
>>287635652I don't think he's smart enough to evade detection. His best opportunity would be what this anon said >>287635529. But he's also probably not smart enough to pull that off, either.
>>287628941They should just use AI already
>>287628573>>287628602>>287628647The idea of having these guys offscreened like this is one of the best I've seen in this type of manga in a while. It really adds to the horror/unsettling element of what Asura's doing.They still deserved it, though, since he gave them a chance to change.
>>287640067i mean, yeah, he gave them a chance but who is realistically gonna take it? say you are some thug shaking a kid and he says "repent or i'm sending you to hell right now" would you believe him?
>>287640472This time and in his house there was a compelling reason for the 2nd person to consider what he said. If a middle schooler somehow manages to escape your grown man criminal comrade who is nowhere to be found, you should become cautious. Obviously you wouldn't jump straight to hell key. But there's clearly something up with a kid like that.
>>287631455random guess: he's be brought to hell to work as an asura.
>>287640701>you mean I get to do good deeds forever?
>>287628709>>287628941Utugi is basically releasing a monthly manga at this point. Following Asura has been pretty funny.>Starts as weekly>Shifts to biweekly>basically every other chapter is followed by a "break">eventually starts doing three pages of full colour art in place of updates occasionally>still takes breaksAnd now it's like this. It's their first manga so I imagine they might've rushed into it, and Jump+ probably doesn't have the breathing down the neck aspect that mainstream magazine publishing has.
>>287628941Take the position you normally take when you draw or write something on paper. Now imagine staying in that position for at least 6 hours every day with the added stress of having to deliver everything in time and the fear of getting cancelled and losing your source of income at any moment. Making manga (and comics in general) fucks you up really bad.>>287633672He'll be the first guy to actually repent in front of Asura and cause him to struggle with his doctrine of punishing evil-doers that don't repent when the boss forces him to continue doing bad things.
>>287628709>>287628941He's literally selling his soul with each chapter published. It's like reverse gate to hell or somethin I dunno
