From having a flip phone in the second chapter to having a smartphone in the latest chapter.
The pinnacle of technique combine with the pinnacle of physical....
I feel like a voyeur, a third party intruding in their story. I feel like I shouldn't be here sneaking at them. It's like every chapter is making me holding my breath while my stomach tighten because of the butterflies it gave me.
I read renaissance eve before this one and Reiji is there and he said he's a lot older than he looks. So, I think this was setup way before renaissance eve, and Renji is not dead yet. He survives and got picked by the professor munakata and then team up with F and Shizuma.
The type v and t blood later was collected and given to Julius...
He suffers so much. I can't wait to read more so I finished the novel and man, I cried for him like he suffers so much.
This has continuation. It's after they are released from prison.
I discovered this manga because of the drama. I really really love the series but the manga has a different charm to it.
Some differences:
1. Shiki's power is a lot more powerful here than in the drama. Plus more useful as well since he can hear the voice of the dead within the crime scene. His eyes differentiate between murderer/killer/someone who has killed before with people who kills on legal duty with the difference in colour of the fog but in the series, he can only see black fog. Plus he doesn't hear any voice.
2. The sequence of the cases. Between the manga and the drama, I like the sequence of the drama more. It makes more sense to me (but maybe because of the storytelling itself). Like for example, the three brothers case, since Shiki comes from prestigious family (used to), it makes sense that he has some knowledge/ties with them albeit an acquaintance.
Even the case with Ikoma, in the drama since her murder happens way later, we can see more interactions of her and Shiki. Plus, during the case, Amakusa has lives longer at Shiki's house and they have some kind of bond already, so when it happens, Shiki quickly called Amakusa and Amakusa abandoned everything to come to his side.
Oh, plus for the first case of the idol murder, the reasoning Amakusa give out is way more believable? I guess
3. The characters' personality. I guess the biggest different for me is Amakusa character. How do I say it... In the drama, he's a lot more proper. He's still a boaster but he's a very proper man. He's more like Kambe Daisuke, a wealthy detective. In the manga, he's very cheery and of course very boastful. Plus, he behaves very childishly, and it gives out a different kind of charm to it. Of course, I love the proper and boastful Amakusa but I love the manga version cheery and childish him as well.
4. Characters. The drama gives more scene to the behind the scenes character like Ikoma and Ryuzaki. (Oh, she doesn't behave starstruck like she did in the manga when she saw Shiki for the first time). She's a very capable person, a serious one at that has to deal with her self serving partner.
Anyway, I love them both very much. Both in manga and the dramas.
Laguna looks really cool with his overdrive. Plus, he's Gray now... Feels like Laguna is Gruvia's descendants
