Warning: Massive Massive spoilers. I know there's a spoiler text but not everyone sees it. (Read OG Kiichi and then this they're masterpieces.)
Anyways, this is the easiest 10 I've ever given a manga and it's not really close. Not my favorite ever but definitely top 2 and Kiichi negs fiction so horribly. The setup to the inevitable end of the series with Kiichi's death was done perfectly and I couldn't have asked for a better conclusion, not just in the story of Kiichi, but in all of fiction. It was a scene constantly foreshadowed throughout Kiichi VS and even some of OG Kiichi. I'm glad
...
I was able to read all of this translated and holy.
One of the most complex, thematically deep manga I have ever read. Kiichi as a character has some of the best symbolism in fiction easily. The Russian Roulette scene is perfect in every possible way and it isn't even the best Kiichi peak. His conclusion where he dies alone despite not wanting to die, and not wanting to be alone is so poetically tragic. It could not have been done more beautiful. The first 2 volumes were a little rocky but after that it just picked up greatly. Chapter 4 kickstarted a near flawless run of volumes, with only one volume being below a 9/10 past that point.
Volume 11 is without a doubt one of the best manga volumes I have ever read and it's just truly unbelievable. Overall, everyone should read OG Kiichi and then Kiichi VS. A genuinely life changing experience. A perfect 10.
5/5
