My opinon about Akuma no Riddle [SPOILERS] <----------

Akuma no Riddle didn't met my expectations, at all. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this manga is poop, I kinda like it, but I can't help but feel it was false advertising. Let me explain: The synopsis says that is a class full of assassins targeting a single girl to get the "wish what you want" prize. This prize is a big deal, right?

The first few chapters (or the first episode of the anime if you want to consider it) we are introduced to all this cool and badass characters, so I got really excited and I had really high expectations in all of the characters. But MOST (not all) of them fell flat... what a disappointment... Can you really blame me for have high expectations for these girls? They all start acting tough and like they were a big deal... but most of them sucks...

Gonna quickly talk about the assassins.

1- Takechi (scissors girl) - Unlike most of the girls, she was a real threat... But still, kinda lame the fact that she barely did any damage on Haru, since she's a sadistc psycho and all that... But okay, she was the first girl to try kill Haru... So I didn't expect her to cut off Haru's arm or something... an Okay start in my opinion.... Just okay...

2- Kouko (bomb girl) - The BIGGEST disappointment EVER! She was acting all tough and serious, but in reality, she is just a clumsy girl that can't do anything right... Yeah, she sucks...

3- Shiena (the other girl wiht glasses) - Second big disappointment. She didn't really had the chance to do anything. She got knocked out and that's it... Waste of time...

4- Chitaru (the lolicon) - She has no business with Haru, and her objective was one of the others assassins girls. I did liked this "twist"... I'm okay with her... and her death was tragic... righttttttttttttttttttttttttttt?

5- Hitsugi (the loli) - Kinda like her crush with Chitaru... Cute and all that... I like cute things. And I liked the "dillema plot" with Chitaru. I'm okay with her... and her death was tragic... righttttttttttttttttttttttttttt?

6- Haruki (cliche girl) - The most bland of them all. Guess what, she have lots of brothers and sisters to take care of... Wow, how original.... Not at all, I'm SICK of this trend. And the dumbass almost killed herself... it goes a little against the "I'm doing this to sustain my huge family" bs motive. Guess what, you can't sustain your family if you are dead.

7- Suzu (young forever) - Kinda like the idea of a "game" to kill Haru. Reminds me of the Saw movie series. XD Not much to say about her. She's okay.

8- Banba (2 for 1 combo) - Another big disappointment, She seems the biggest threat. But she got her ASS KICKED by Haru. Shame on you!

9- Isuke (gay parents) - Another bland girl. Sorry I didn't like her very much. She have a knife, she talks a lot and her attitude annoys me.

10- Sumireko (prosthesis girl) - At this point, most of the girls sucked ass... I can accept anything... It was a fresh air to see a girl that was a real threat again... Yeah, I know, that super prosthesis is over the top as fuck... But whatever... I don't care anymore...

11- Nio (my waifu) - She is my favorite. I still gonna criticize her... C'mon... Magical tattos? "Well, actually, to be fair, it's a illusion caused by..." Nah, don't come with that bs excuse.... It's magic... It create that silly cenario of "OMG, who is the REAL Azuma now?"...

And that was the assassins in general. There is more to talk about each one, but this post has gone far enough XD So, why Akuma no Riddle is false advertising? Let me answer my own question: It's a history about a bunch of fake tough assassins sucking ass all long. And for a history about assassins, is funny that NO ONE died... That's right, Chitaru and Hitsugi didn't died... they were saved by... Umm... Errmm... Yeah, that's it, they were saved by the power of LOVE baby.
I don't want a bloodbath... But when no one dies in a history about assassins it really kills all the tension in it, cuz you know that there is no real risk...

"Wow, Komugi, it seems that you really hate Akuma no Riddle", not really, I'm just criticizing... Does not really means I hate it. In fact, there a lot of thing I like, for instance: The Azuma x Haru duo, most of the ships provided, my waifu Nio, and I know that lots of people HATED the "Queen Bee" stuff of Haru, but I really buy it, It makes sense to me. And has caused a tension between Haru x Azuma.
That's all I have to say. If you read it till the end, thank you and sorry for my awful english (not english speaker)
Btw, it's just my opinion.

Well, that crisis was resolved quickly.

Still not knowing where this manga wants to go.

Resolved? Where? She didn't explain her motives yet.

Ririha what the hell are you doing ?!

That's my fetish

Good to know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Okay, I can't take it anymore. There is 751 comments and no one addressed a very important thing about Sakura Trick. Is something that I know everyone knows, but no one has the courage to say! So I gonna reveal the obvious fact that everyone is purposely ignoring! Someone has to say it! I gonna do it!!!!

Haruka and Yuu, they are developing a special kind of fetish! Haruka and Yuu... they... they... THEY HAVE A FETISH CALLED AGORAPHILIA! There, I said it! Done!

For those who do not know, agoraphilia is a fetish that involves arousal stemming from OPEN SPACES or HAVING SEX IN PUBLIC! Let's face it, that's the true! It still in early development but everyone deep knows that one day it will become that.

Thank you and good night!

If you are going to whisk away shitty writing with something as vague as "selfishness" then that's your own prerogative.

Hi, can you please expound on why do you consider this a "shitty writing"? I'm genuinely curious.

I think is still early to call this "shitty writing". I know my whiny comment kinda started this discussion, but still... We don't know yet the real cause of why Yuzumori left the group. Who knows... maybe could be something that no one thought about. I still gonna read this till the end.

Some people (and exspecially kids), when they really want a thing, they will do anything that seems like a good plan, until they realize they have fucked it up.

That's true!

First
Rob what you hold dear, so you won't have anything and become mine
Second
She annoyed because Yuzumori are not lonely so she can't approach her
Now
My assummtion, she thought that's another lover of Yuzumori, the kind that abuses her

First and Second: my thoughts exactly.
Now:
I think Ririha just acted impulsively when she saw Yuzumori crying because somebody's bullying her. I doubt she had any rational thought like assuming Shiori was "another lover" of hers.

First Not after Ririha threatened Yuzumori. Do you guys really find that scene on the bathroom appealing? I find it quite disturbing...

Second: Yeah... "After I throw you in the shit I can approach you..." Do you guys enjoy BDSM behaviors? XD

Now: Is probably because of the bullying. But still makes no sense... Apparently only Ririha can bully Yuzumori...

Ok, I just don't understand...

First, Ririha wants to "completely rob that which Yuzumori hold dear". And lets agree that could made Yuzumori sad and cry, right? (chap.18.2)

Second, Ririha gets annoyed when Yuzumori dont become sad (chap.25)

And now, when Ririha sees Yuzumori crying she helps her?
WTF logic is that? First Ririha tries to upset Yuzumori, and finnaly when Yuzumori gets upset she helps her...

You could say that is because Yuzumori was getting "abused" by an older girl... But c'mon... It's not like the scene was a creepy old man trying to touch her special spot! (in that case I could believe that Ririha would help because that's fucked up) The scene was: a cool looking older girl scolding a child. Teens scold kids all the time... and kids cries all the time for stupid reasons... Ririha overeacted... Even Isuzu was like "what are you doing you crazy slut!?"

---

But yeah, I guess Ririha is lesbian for Yuzumori after all...

There is something that bother me a little about this manga. Lets make a comparison between a level 01 goblin and a level 01 demon. A level 01 goblin has a lower basic stats than a level 01 demon, right?

So, with that in mind, don't you guys agree that a level 99 goblin is not THAT big of a deal? It's only logical that a lower class mob's stats should escalate at a lower rate if compared with a higher class mob's stats, correct?

I'm not saying that this manga is bad because of this. In fact, I loved this manga and how it make jokes about lots of games tropes. This is just a little thing that is bothering me for a while.

I just think that a level 99 Goblin being the strongest monster is a bit exaggerated. (I've read till chap 08 btw)

NANI?! http://yawaspi.com/yuzumori/comic/034_001.html I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS

And here goes the translation: https://pastebin.com/dJppc1nU

Lazy question : Will this continue as it is written "ongoing" or does the story continue fully in Yamada to Kase-san?

Really sweet story anyway, thank you for the translation YP and /u/ <3

It continues fully there.

Hmmm, so... Kase-san ends in chapter 24 (it's over)

And then it continues on Yamada to Kase-san (new series)

The series "Kase-san" is completed. And "Yamada to Kase-san" is the new series which continues where "Kase-san" left off.

Why not just include the "completed" then?

Omg, you know nothing about the people involved and you give orders. The worst. Life is not a manga.

Btw, Mii didn't listen to herself. She listened to the people who said it was gross.

Yes, life is not a manga. But things will not happen if you just sit on your butt and do nothing about it. If things did not work out, fuck it, at least you tried. It is better to try than to blame society for your own lack of initiative. I'm not ordering anyone to follow my advice (it was supposed to be a joke)

If she shared her own situation on the internet, it is only normal for people to come out with their own point of view. Do not take all the comments in a topic about a gay manga very seriously.

Oh my gawd this is literally what is happening to me right now lol. There is this girl in my class that really likes to hold hands so we link our hands all the time. Sometime she even gently rubs my hands while saying shits like: "you're so cute" and "your hands are so soft". I think I've fallen for her but of course im too scared to say anything :p

Do it

Inb4 their friendship is ruined and their school life too.

Never listen to advice on the interweb. Listen to yourself.

Yeah, listen to yourself and be just like Mii. Hold everything to yourself.

Fuck no! DO IT NOW!

Also have "reverse trap" that is when a girl dresses as a boy. Strangely also serves to "entrap" straight men. At least I don't remember any Yuri series with reverse trap. Not really my cup of tea. So I can't tell.

I don't think Flower Flower is reverse trap because the misunderstanding was caused by the ignorance that Nina of Adingala had in relation to the costumes and clothes of the other kingdom.

This is technically an orgy since the girl has multiple personality (BlazBlue wiki said it's 3 but apparently the third one can't control her body very well)

This one is pretty much filler from beginning to the end. Spoilers (In the end, she don't even get her original form back.) But I still like this one. It's kinda silly so I didn't expect an epic ending.

Loli is luv, Loli is life

The change was actually an upgrade <3

Why do I have the feeling that when she goes to Mimika's house, she'll find her in a worse off state than her then fuwa fuwa comes after.
Or she'll find that shitty brat in Mimika's house again for lols.

Second scenario would be the worst, just imagine Yuzu arriving and seeing the bitch making a move on her and confusing yet again the whole situation making it worse and Mimika's friend thinking that she's just a sick lolicon who would go with any girl as long as she is loli

I would seriously drop it and hope for cancellation lol

The second scenario is impossible to occur. The separation of Mimika and Yuzumori was due to the age difference between the two. So why the hell would Mimika be hanging out with another little girl if that was the reason for the drama to begin with?

If the shitty brat forces her way inside her house or wherever Mimika is right now it's possible, I'm not saying that Mimika would be her friend or hanging out with the stupid brat, but a scenario where they are seem together somehow it's possible and might trigger more confusion which would ruin the series.

Ok, everyone is done? Good, now back to Yuzumori-san.

If that brat dares to force herself on Mimika, I will not wait for Ririha to grow up... I, personally, will collect her magical blood on the spot!

I've reread the whole series once again and I must admit it's a really good age gap/lolicon story; in opposition to the classic student/teacher. Thank you translator(s)!

I'm glad Mimika's friends is accepting their "relation" even if they don't like each other with Yuzumori. A true, true friend!

My thoughts exactly
