Finally!

This chapter lacked the usual WTF-moment in the end, however, despite the obvious suggestions that what’s-his-face was actually a spy for the Undertakers, I still never expected the mangaka to reveal where his true allegiance lies within one chapter. Although there was no OMG, WHAT?! reactions, I was definitely not disappointed about this episode because Nagi’s past is awfully tragic, and Promoter Tamaki using the dead Director’s head as a bowling ball in order to knock out the pins was just pure brilliance. What I love most about Deadman Wonderland is that it’s so gruesome and it takes manga on a new sort of level. I’m beginning to wonder if Shiro has a split-personality because she doesn’t seem to remember anything really, or if she has other reasons for hanging out with Ganta instead of just being “friends.”

I loved it how Ganta forgot his revenge and replaced it by promising to take Shiro on the ferris wheel once they get out, and the entire talk about “freedom” certainly wasn’t the common corny-ness I get from other manga and anime. The “unknown” character that was doing her homework looks really interesting too, and I assume she’s a little girl that’s probably also one of the strongest Undertakers. The Director’s twin bodyguards also remind me a lot of the twins from Full Metal Panic! The 2nd Raid. And I really loved them because they delivered sweet action, so I hope these two from Deadman Wonderland will do the same.

I’m still fairly sad that I hardly know anyone who follows this manga …
