Pure kino today
>>288156192>Issho smiling at Akane's God of DeathKaisei bros...
T-To Be Continued???
>>288156275I can't believe Akane embodied the story so hard that she's actually fucking dead
>>288156371Guess Kaisei's the new protagonist now!
So, Whichever crowd stays quiet the longest is the winner, right?
>>288156275F
>>288156518 (Me)Because I didn't spot a single curtain before she started.
>>288155830someone said fury?
>>288156275Boy do I hope the page was inked manually. Lotta respect if so.
>>288156581I will never stop being mad about this series abrupt end.
>>288156192Does this counts as grooming?
>>288156083KWAB
>>288156146I figured it had to do with shiguma but I kind of wanted Concrete Dad to be an influence on god of death too
>>288157143Yes. He also groomed Kaisei.
>>288156275I can't believe Akane fucking died
>>288156083Afro spoiled this>>288156233but she still made it work
>>288157194Same. Just because Mutenroshi's sister was able to bring Akane's father back from the Concrete Realm for a day doesn't mean he isn't gone.
>>288156275The chain part of her earring is visible, how rare.
>>288156275>killing yourself for the storyA true artist
>>288156271I hope his shinigami makes him mad
>>288156192He can't stop fucking winning.
>>288156275I'm kind of underwhelmed. Feels like Kaisei is going to mog this performance.
>>288156192>tfw years of putting depleted uranium flakes into your former bestie's ramen finally pays dividends
>>288155927>It insist upon itselfThe fuck it's supposed to mean?
>>288156275RIP What a way to axe a manga.
>>288156112the medieval era remains insanely GOATed for creating a cultural depiction of death now being referenced 600 years later in an entirely different culture.
>>288156192He's literally in the right. He's always been right. Tell me one thing, one actual thing, he's done wrong in this entire manga. His plan was good and it fucking worked.
>>288156192Issho wins again!
>>288158263Iron sharpens iron.
Unironic chills this chapter, damn that was good
>>288159899
what a chill thread...
>>288156275BE THE BECOME
>>288156275Is she going to talk with her dads ghost now thats she's fucking dead?
I can't believe Kaisei won by default.
Why do I feel like Akane would have a piss kink?
>>288161040Projection, most likely.
>>288159086They still got the best dead baby jokes in history.
>>288161273what
>>288161105Why do I think you have a tiny penis?
>>288161292Medieval people had a disturbingly morbid sense of humor, which was their way to cope with reality I suppose.
>>288156083Absolutelly based and kino
>>288159115>Tell me one thing, one actual thing, he's done wrong in this entire manga.Insulting his ex-BFF on his death bed?
>>288156083So this sis suppose to be a comedy moment or just a representation of how death can be a suddent event in anyones life ?
>>288161354for example
>>288161576Yes.
>>288161637You're putting me on the spot. Gotta unhearth some of my historical book on the middle ages I didn't read in years.
>>288161879NTA, but between the Danse Macabre and Memento Mori, there's been a lot of thinking about death. And just like today, sometimes when faced with tragedies (like constant military conflicts, or the fucking Black Death) the only thing you can do is laugh.But I'd also like to hear about some specifics.
>>288156192IsshGOAT continues being the best character.
>>288158051That won't happen unless Kaisei fucks up.
>>288159115He destroyed Shinta's career and any hope or dream of becoming a rakugoka by expelling him from the Arakawa school despite not even being his master.He had his motives but I can't say he was in the right.>>288165816Kaisei didn't fuck up at his shin'uchi promotion test but wasn't promoted despite it.I think his performance is going to be flawless, but it will fall short because his mother's still alive, and so he doesn't have the same intuitive understanding of death that Akane has.Any way, I hope Kaisei being better than Hikaru even with his less than stellar performance will make her seethe.
>>288166793Shinta had every opportunity to join another schoolWe know another reject joined Sanmeitei
>>288161576It’s both.On the one hand, it’s a man desperately trying to cling to life in a desperate situation, perishing in the exact moment his hope burned brightest, when we the audience had thought he had overcome the danger, mocked by the capricious personification of death all the while. It’s haunting!On the other hand, this absolute dumbass did the one single thing he was told not to do, tried to bribe death with a grubby ten-dollar bill, and killed himself with a fucking sneeze. And that’s funny, albeit a rough chuckle.It’s really putting a set of events out there in such a way that the audience has a lot of room to react based on their own feelings about death.
>>288166793Not being up to Issho's standards and messing up aren't the same thing but they're both skill issues. Anyways, it doesn't seem Issho was mad at Kaisei, but more at the judges. He gave him his trademark psycho grin afterwards. It was really a show of how much he favors him.>but it will fall short because his mother's still aliveThat's not the problem, since Shiguma isn't dead either. His illness was more severe than Kaisei's mom's, but that's offset by how much younger and more dependent Kaisei was compared to Akane.I think what might be his problem is that Kaisei's Death is bound to be based on Issho, and despite everything, Kaisei can't help but love him. This ambiguity might work with the craftsman style where things can be left open, but Kaisei's current style is to dominate the audience with his interpretation. If he wavers for a second, his performance will suffer.
>>288156275Thank you for posting.
What happened to the art? When did it get this good?
>>288161879I see...
>BEST chappy in the manga's history>75 posts>anime airingit's over
>>288172059Opening so sucks, song is good but anime is weird.
>>288172059You need to be Japanese to understand : the manga
>>288172204But in Japan, only Jiisans love this manga.
Have we learned why her dad got expelled yet?
>>288173004It essentially comes from Issho power tripping. He's bitter over being passed over as the second Shiguma.He wanted to make a big media spectacle to reinvigorate Rakugo's public profile.He was trying to cultivate a very specific form of rakugo that Akane's dad (and his cohort) failed to embody.He wanted to fuck over the Federation, for not promoting him in his youth.Aaand some kind of as yet unspecified personal beef with Shiguma (II) that he drilled into Kaisei so Kaisei would hate Shiguma's school.
>>288156112Wait kek did Akane imply she'd rather have Zensho dead?
>>288161576It's basically Junji Ito's manga.
>>288173413Can you blame her?
>>288175584Nah, it's just funny
>>288158759Relentless. Inescapable. Unchanging.
