THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
And Bunch magazine February 2013 contains chapter 58! Which arrived today... and I dropped whatever else I was reading to read this. I so wanted to find out if Himiko was OK! That was the big cliffhanger for me, what the heck was Ryota doing leaving Himiko alone! I know he had stuff to do but... yikes. With Togo running around too...

As an aside, the ads for Himiko hug pillows are... hnnnng wow! Think my wife will let me have one? LOL

And there's an amazing A4 sized "Gravity Angel" Himiko picture book coming. Some of the sample shots are censored... in Bunch.

OK, back to chapter 58...

Hidemi is still on her knees on the beach below the cliff that Oda climbed, holding her last remaining BIM, looking up at him. He is looking at her in her "Sex and the Town" shirt, smiling down from the top of the bluff. When from behind her strolls... Ryota! He chats with Oda about whether they can help each other. Ryota tells Hidemi to get up.

Cut to team Togo. He meets up with them. They explain Ryota's helijacking plan and how he forcibly took all their BIMs.

Cut back to Ryota, Hidemo and Oda. Hidemi is on Ryota's shoulders with her engrish lettered "CANDY GIAL" shorts. With Ryota and Oda's help, she is up the cliff! Ryota says he's climbing up.

Cut to Oda and Ryota at the gym back at school. Oda sarcastically asks if he enjoyed ballet practice.

Oda does a behind the head back pull down of 70kg. Everyone says wow, cool! 70kg!

Back to the cliff. Ryota tosses up his stolen BIMs and his big stick. Oda catches it all. Ryota's coming up.

Back to the gym. Anything Oda can do, I can do too, Ryota is trying the back pull down of 70kg. Hmm, this might be like lifting yourself up an overhang on a cliff...

Ryota climbs up. Near the top Oda lends him a hand but Ryota says anything you can do... and refuses his help. I won't lose, I won't lose, I won't lose... I think I can... no he didn't say that. And he's up! Oda asks if he should think about tossing him back down...

Radar! Enemies, Hidemi says! It's Togo down on the beach. Good thing Ryota got there before him to help Hidemi up the cliff. Oda, Hidemi and Ryota go further up the cliff away from Togo, holding a homing BIM.

Ryota! yells Himiko! Himiko! yells Ryota! They are tearfully reunited. Hidemi thinks they'll have to get used to killing soon. 4 on 4.

Back to team Togo. Togo wants to hit their enemies hard. Kira explains that Sakamoto is a world ranker. They need teamwork. Need to work together as 4 people. Togo gives him food to eat and that brings back memories of his dad.

---

Next issue is out already but unless it also splits out of that shipment like February I won't have it for a week and a half... sigh... Back then with chapter 59!

Sorry, I read all mine as books bought from Japan so I don't know where to look but I suspect google might help. The scanlators aren't that far yet but they will get to it eventually.

I buy the Japanese. It is coming out in English now so some groups delete titles once they are licensed. Might have to wait, I think 3-4 volumes are done in English now.

Too bad, chapters recently are super awesome, just read chapter 64 this week, posted a summary as usual.

It's out in subs now....

Anyways, pretty decent chapter. I wouldn't trust Ryota entirely yet but they need all the help they can get in order to survive. Oh and this:


Wow.

Neither good or bad care, since there are only situations.

Mindfuck. COMPLETE MINDFUCK.
I totally didn't care about Oda or Ryota this chapter. I only cared about Kira. To see him shiver, tremble and cry really blows my mind. Am I sad? Angry? Happy? I don't know. Kira is like one of my favourite characters and even if he's a killer/rapist I always knew he was a 'good kid', but not like this. I think that the chances of Kira attacking Ryota or Kira getting killed are thinner now.

;_; meeeeeeh I waited so LONG for this chapter and most of it is bullcrap.
M-must.. have.. BIM, future diary and death note...

Good chapter. I wish it would get more chapters regularly though, but I guess it can't be helped. I also liked the part where Kiri mentions "He's Sakamoto, the world champion-level Sakamoto." Bring out the terrifying feels.

Honestly, I'm glad to see Kira crying for once instead of being a "KILL KILL KILL." He's extremely happy that he didn't get hit too, because his father always did that and for once he's not gonna get beat up.

Kira is the focus of this chapter, even though he is not in much of it. What we see is the unexpected cry of him due to the cop's kindness. This probably the first time someone is kind to him. Will Kira change from now on or he is still a psycho kid?!

Ryota and Oda's dymanic is very interesting. Ryota unsurprisingly had made racing with Oda his goal post throughout highschool. That gym scene explains why Ryota is still very athletic despite being a NEET. What's surprised me is that Oda, despite talking down to Ryota, repesects and, to a certain degree, is jealous of Ryota. Their highschool rivalry and resentment have lasted well into the current moment.

I'm giving a lot of respect to the old cop. He is not only practical but also very kind and has a strong sense of justice. He lets Kira join for practical reason, but he treats the crazy kid very well.

Great chapter. Oda excelled in pretty much everything in highschool and just made Ryouta feel jealous. Good to see Ryouta not relying on him now. Aww Kousuke crying at the end. His father was such a dick.

Finally they are a team now. Should be fine untill found the helicopter. Sakamoto now didn't follow Oda's amymore. Should be strong.
