i am very sorry to the people who were being mean to me in my previous comment bc i edited it and can no longer see your mean replies.. this makes me a little sad.. what if we were all kind to each other though
ive been keeping up with this for awhile now and honestly idk if i can put my full thoughts into words but here we go with my most thought out comment ever:
this manhwa has a great art style that i cant get enough of! unfortunately it also has a lot of rape too. i think its better suited here than most other stories though bc this IS a prison and we know these are bad people!
a lot of the characters are troubled, i like that. i like that we can learn more about them, what makes them the way they are (although its no excuse for their actions). i enjoy a story with lots of serious moments and i do wish slammer dogs had more of them and less of these "comedic" ones..
i also think we should be hating BOTH heonjae and jingi in these comments i personally favor heonjae but honestly? neither of them could ever be good people, its just if i had to pick
myeongil goes through a lot of emotional distress, id like to see even more of these moments with more emphasis on the negative emotions hes feeling. understandably, he goes through a lot. he has worries about the people he is surrounded by and the people he cant be there for (like his family)
andd ive run out of juice! feel free to add more to this just dont tell me to die or something im bad at writing and am lowk special needs

『 • If you somehow ended up on my profile and found yourself reading this section, you now have a civic duty to look up and read the best manga of the decade: Kagurabachi. I'M SERIOUS GUYS, GO READ IT, NOW! IT'S AMAZING, DEFINITELY THE BEST NEW-GEN SHOUNEN!!』
⊹₊
『• What is Kagurabachi about, you might wonder? Well, it is a dark fantasy, action shounen manga, and to sum it up as accurately as possible, I shall quote a famous tweet; Kagurabachi is literally if "Oppenheimer had a son that was like 'I need to collect and disarm every single nuke in the world' but he kept getting jumped by dudes going 'Bro I loved your Dad so much, no one made nukes like him man'." IF THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOU EVEN A BIT CURIOUS ABOUT THIS MASTERPIECE, THEN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WOULD!!』
⊹₊
『• Eh, still not convinced this story is the peakest fiction to ever peak? Then, here is a TL;DR plot summary of what it's about:
- the story is about Rokuhira Chihiro, an 18-year old man who wanted to follow in his famous father's path to become a swordsmith until tragedy struck - a ruthless yakuza organisation comprised of sorcerers, known as the Hishaku, murdered his father and stole the mystical Enchanted Blades, forged and imbued with sorcery that helped end the Seitei war years prior to the beginning of the series. Chihiro's goal now is to exact revenge on his father's murderers and reclaim his stolen legacy.』
⊹₊
『• What's that? The plot sounds interesting but you're wondering what themes and ideas are explored through the story? Well, here are a selectfew:
- legacy, revenge, grief, generational trauma, the burden of responsibility and using your power, good vs. evil, morality and personal identity, war and war crimes (genocide), creating and using weapons of mass destruction, the cost of violence, abuse (mostly abuse by family), anti-colonialism and propaganda (through the Japan-Shokoku war), political commentary on the glorification of national heroes (through the sword bearers), exploring the multiple ways to interpret historical figures, their motives and their beliefs, etc.』
⊹₊
『• I hate to sound like one of those annoying animanga fans that are like "erm akshually, the anime/manga gets better after episode 632/chapter 236," but honestly give Kagurabachi at least a fair try and read the first, the VS Sojo arc (chapters 1-18), OR try to read until the end of the second, the Rakuzaichi arc (chapters 19-44) since that's when the manga starts to really pick up the plot, and if you still don't like it, then oh well! At least you gave it a shot!』
⊹₊
『• Kagurabachi's biggest strengths:
+ two page spreads and panel work/composition that are very distinctive and beautiful
+ gorgeous artstyle that evolves with each new chapter
+ masterfully crafted action sequences and fight choreographies
+ simple but interesting power system
+ perfect blend of storytelling, heavy themes, comedic relief, character development, and hype moments/aura farming
+ all characters are written pretty realistically, all have their individual flaws and strengths, both the good and the bad guys
+ although there are fantastical/supernatural elements, the author already stated the core conflict of the story will be a human vs. human based conflict, so no hidden ass pulls/random plot twists such as "erm akshually, it was the aliens from planet Xyzytysel who were pulling the strings behind the scenes"
+ doesn't shy away from more serious topics, such as war and their consequences on both the civilians and the veterans who fought in it, creating and using weapons of mass destruction, the morality and ethics of genocide, etc.
+ SO MANY GORGEOUS WOMEN AND BEAUTIFUL MEN
+ reading Kagurabachi doesn't even feel like I'm reading a manga, it honestly feels more like I'm watching a movie, it's so fucking tenoí!
+ chill fanbase that is cool with fujoshis/fudanshis and shipping culture』
⊹₊
『• Every piece of fiction, no matter how peak it is or how much you subjectively love it, is not immune to criticism, and sadly Kagurabachi is no exception - here are some flaws you should be aware of:
× a lot less focus on and involvement of (most) side characters
× not enough down-time between arcs
× introducing characters with their full government names, occupation and cool designs only to kill them off literally the next chapter
× small nitpick, but some, especially important to the plot, characters get their names revealed WAY TOO LATE (looking at you, Hatshaku... mf was introduced in the 1st chapter, we've already reached triple-digit chapters and we STILL don't know his name; EDIT: March 1st, 2026, Kagurabachi Part 2 officially began today and this mf's name is still unknown omg )』
⊹₊
『 Manga & other media that inspired Kagurabachi: Naruto, Ajin: Demi-Human, Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, AKIRA, western comics (Batman), western films such as Quentin Tarantino's films (ex: Kill Bill) & the John Wick franchise, video game Ghost of Tsushima』
⊹₊
『✍ Mangakas who have recommended Kagurabachi: Kishimoto Masashi (Naruto), Horikoshi Kouhei (My Hero Academia), Sano Yuto (Gokurakugai), Yasuda Kasumi (Fool's Night), NEO Shoco (Phantom Busters), Kishimoto Seishi (666 Satan)』
⊹₊
『 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR Kagurabachi: Violence, blood and gore, depiction of organised crime, torture, dismemberment, depiction of child abuse, human experimentation, depiction of child abduction, human trafficking, blackmail, child neglect, child abandonment, sibling abuse, depiction of suicide, attempted suicide, implied grooming, bullying and harassment, mention of attempted assault, depiction of and references to war and war crimes (genocide), depiction of corruption and government cover-ups, mild misogyny, depiction of psychological trauma and mental illnesses. 』
⊹₊
『 LOVE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO LOVE Kagurabachi SINCE I BEGAN TO READ IT. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD LOVE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE LOVE I FEEL FOR Kagurabachi AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR Kagurabachi. LOVE. LOVE.』

『• Now, as much as I adore Kagurabachi and consider it my favourite manga of all time, there is another gem I want to introduce to anyone who might stumble upon my profile, and that manga is none other than MAD!』
⊹₊
『• MAD is the hottest up-and-coming action sci-fi shounen manga set in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by hostile alien life-forms, and it follows the story of John, a young man who lost his whole family, and a group of survivors he had travelled with who are one day targeted by the aliens again with almost everyone except John dying. After being saved, he is taken to a military base known as Jericho, a safe haven that would later turn into a nightmare.』
⊹₊
『• My personal favourite features of the manga:
+ beautiful and cinematic art
+ well-done fighting choreography
+ compelling characters and interesting character dynamics
+ great pacing
+ BADASS FEMALE CHARACTERS WHO GET SHIT #DONE
+ NO SEXUALISATION OF IT'S FEMALE CAST
+ BEST CHARACTER BONGO』
⊹₊
『• Some minor negative nitpicks I can think of:
× chapters release bi-weekly (it's a really well-drawn series though so I understand why it takes more time, but still)
× mild implied romance
× frequent nudity, it's non-sexual nudity though but sometimes it does leave me going "bruh" y'know
× fricking weird, sorta incestuous?? shit happening between the MC and his sister ONLY IN THE NON-CANON BONUS CHAPTERS THOUGH, IN THE ACTUAL MANGA THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS JUST A NORMAL WHOLESOME SIBLING RELATIONSHIP!!』
⊹₊
『 CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR MAD: Violence, blood and gore, body horror, suicidal ideation, cannibalism, psychological trauma, confinement, human experimentation, torture, implied sexual slavery, attempted sexual assault, threats of sexual assault, mass murder, child abuse, religious delusion, amputation, depiction of slavery, corruption. 』

2000 people did / 2000 want to do
i read this a long time ago and i just have zero fucking memory of reading it thats all i have to say ok bye
millions must read yoru wa tomodachi and thats why i will always recommend it to any friend willing to venture
over the years ive come to realize theres a lot of people who get defensive when you express opinions on manga/hwa/hua (especially negative), sometimes even coming off as aggressive i think about this a lot and its probably why i rarely interact on the site does this just happen to everyone? is there no escape from insufferable people? is it so ......
i couldnt even tell you why i waste time on things like this, its NOT good and yet i still read it (also iirc creator is a shitty person anyways)
kind of a waste of a good art style unfortunately
edit: i think everyone should be nice to me bc ive never taken my anger out on you
edit 2: i didnt realize editing deleted all replies im so sorry you can bully me another tim emaybe but also please dont!
