@Komla_6 (opinion alert) hate to say it, but this manga has gone to ass. its getting so far away from what made it cool and interesting. instead, focusing on rlly weird and opaque stuff like the black fog.

interested to know what ur opinion is. i was really enjoying this manga up until the time skip - when MC got out of the hospital after losing sight in his eye.

@TemporaryPortal a more than valid opinion bro, for me at the very least ive been enjoying the series much more from the injury timeskip because shishido was able to mature from the life changing situation/ fight, there's obviously the little hints of the black fog and the weird mind reading stuff but this very same series had guys crushing men with brute strength.

my highlights of the series was when shishido killed ariga and how he was able to repel kakine as it showcased the charaacter development from the brash man that he was and it also paved way to his own "moral code" of sorts. the black fog is an intersting concept because if it's done well can have a domino effect towards japan. we have to remember that peace was created from the chaos that the yakuza brought contextually so still being tied to this chaos would sure be disaster.

but my only qualm is even with what we were given i still find it very peculiar how a police officer without a strong family or any major backing was able to get his hands on information so classified and has been known for centuries within the most elite of people.

hope this helped bro!

@Komla_6 awesome! thanks for the response!

i did also enjoy shishido's character development a lot. he now seems like a fully (or at least almost) realized and mature character-if at the worst a bit OP-but im willing to suspend my disbelief since this manga does have its over the top moments for pretty much every character. but him becoming a hard mfer that will straight up demolish people is satisfying to read.

i do find the concept of the black fog interesting in theory. maybe my gripes come from the way its being executed; there are A LOT of loose plot threads that tie into the big mystery (ie. all the main bouncers, as well as the yakuza, the mysterious masked group, police, and shishido's uncle).

i can see a way for the author to tie everything together, and i hope he does, but it seems like a big ask, especially with the sheer number of the aforementioned characters above. it seems we spend handfuls of chapters focusing on 2 or 3 specific characters at a time, leaving everyone else doing nothing for so much time-almost to the point where i forget about them.

i actually forgot about the president of Tokyo Fist hes been out of the story so long-and he was such a cool character! same for Torai (i think was his name-shishido's trainer/mentor) after the hospital situation he's been AFK only appearing very seldom (but conveniently) and having nothing to really do.

i dont want to nag too much. theres more i could say, but it does come from a place of love. i do enjoy the manga and will continue reading because it hooked me!
