Summary
A blood-spattered battle between diabolical sorcerers and the monsters they created。
Caiman and Nikaido return to the Hole， where Doc and Kasukabe manage to cure Nikaido of her deadly fungal affliction。 But a prowler outside Central Hospital is watching and waiting for an opportunity to steal her away。 Fujita returns to the Hole to finally kill Caiman himself。 He gets close when he’s recruited for a baseball match between Central Hospital and Hole Peace Hospital， but his plans change when he spots an old friend。 Meanwhile， in the Sorcerer’s dimension， a little accident transforms Noi into a hideous monster。 It’s up to Shin to stop her before she kills everyone。

Q。 Hayashida just knows how to draw you into her world and make you feel at home。 Despite some of the gory events that take place in The Hole， you still feel like you are alongside these characters on their adventures， and that they will always have your back。 I will always come back for more， this is 1，000，000% my favorite manga series！！

So much randomness。And i'm starting to enjoy said randomness， i did enjoy it before but now it feels like i got used to it， and it turns out it super fun。 The story had a good pace and even though i don't like baseball， i did enjoy that weird game in the middle of the volume。I might've said this in a previous review but i don't remember so i'll say it again， the characters are the stronger things of this so far。 The humor is good and the brutality is so much fun but the characters are what drive So much randomness。And i'm starting to enjoy said randomness， i did enjoy it before but now it feels like i got used to it， and it turns out it super fun。 The story had a good pace and even though i don't like baseball， i did enjoy that weird game in the middle of the volume。I might've said this in a previous review but i don't remember so i'll say it again， the characters are the stronger things of this so far。 The humor is good and the brutality is so much fun but the characters are what drives this series forward， they are the most interesting thing to me so far。Overall， probably my favourite volume so far :D。 。。。more

Lots of side stories in this one。 Good world building。 Nice to know more about characters' backgrounds。 Good sense of comedy; funny， but avoids zaniness。 Lots of side stories in this one。 Good world building。 Nice to know more about characters' backgrounds。 Good sense of comedy; funny， but avoids zaniness。 。。。more

There is not much new to say about this series from my earlier reviews。 It remains a solid reading experience。 I love how random things can be in the world。 There can be a large focus on violence and magic that takes a break for a baseball game; and it all works。 Also， finally got to the introduction of Johnson！

Loving this。 I like the subtly that the anime didn't take from the manga， such as hiding Ebisu's powers until this point。 Overall， a 4。5/5。 Loving this。 I like the subtly that the anime didn't take from the manga， such as hiding Ebisu's powers until this point。 Overall， a 4。5/5。 。。。more

Much more back story in this volume， allowing more insight into the investigation and motives。 And all played firmly with a tongue in the cheek。 Man， I love this series so much！

author has created it to live through it in a world she prefers to the real one， and to hang out with cooler， more interesting people than what is available in reality。 And yet the cozy world she has created is an apocalyptic one in which people can barely hope of climbing out of extreme poverty， they need to fear themselves or their loved ones getting killed by people from another dimension who couldn't care less about their existence， or in the best case scenario getting afflicted with life changing mutations like your body parts changing into a different creature's。 Its inhabitants witness people getting murdered in gruesome fashion and then go back to their regular jobs as if they lived in a less realistic version of "Children of Men"。 While the author could have made her characters experience a day to day filled with nightmarish despair， they tend to remain cheerful， and often don't expect much of life beyond being able to eat their favorite meal。This author's version of magic might be my favorite， and one of the only acceptable ones for me: it works as a sort of supernatural radiation， toxic fumes that can make a person mutate into a mass of mushrooms， turn their limbs into insects'， or even turn them into two meters tall cockroaches。 The effects of this filty magic doesn't end when it gets ejected from a magic user's fingers， because it accumulates into the ground， in the rivers， and stays in the air in some areas， poisoning everything it touches。 If some magic users lose control， they risk turning the people they keep around into monstrosities。 I can't blame the inhabitants of The Hole， who aren't magic users， for despising these interdimensional foreigners that seem to come to their world to make their lives a living hell。The overall feeling of this series is， however， difficult to put into words， because all of it seems so idiosyncratic。 The plot progresses according to a mysterious internal logic hard to predict and yet satisfying。 As the overall plot so far we have our main protagonists， alligator head dude and cool athletic restaurant babe， trying to figure out what magic user turned the guy's head into an alligator's。 Their investigation tends to involve massacring as many magic users as they find， a factor that gets complicated when we learn that the restaurant woman， the protagonist's best friend/undeclared girlfriend， is actually a self-exiled magic user。 Throughout these four volumes， the protagonist has been growing little by little to take a final decision regarding whether his favorite human being a magic user is something that would change their relationship。 Their investigations lead them to open an interdimensional door to the world of the magicians。 There the protagonist has to learn to navigate another society without murdering everyone he meets。 Although he still hates magicians in general， he understands what the restaurant babe knew from the beginning: that in that other dimension its people are divided into the powerful， the middle class and the downtrodden， and those without power don't fare much better than the average inhabitant of the Hole。 It gets complicated further， however， by the fact that the magic users do consort with literal demons， and magic itself in this world might be demonic。 While visiting her former world， the restaurant babe， wanting some clues on who transmogrified her sort of boyfriend's head， visits a demon she used to be well acquainted with， and after kneeling to kiss its claws they hang out for a while chatting pleasantly。 The demon turns out to be quite a helpful fellow that's glad to be able to assist a person in her quest to help someone else。Opposing our main protagonists' quest we have the mushroom guy's gang， who are relying on magic rituals to figure out who turned the protagonist into an alligator head person who can also resist magic。 Because this world is weird， they recover the protagonist's previous， human and decapitated head， build a body for it and revive him in order to get some answers about who they are facing。 We have then two characters who are the same person and yet don't know about each other， and would likely end up fighting to the death if they happened to meet。 The revived guy doesn't know that his previous body was revived but with an alligator's head， and the alligator dude is usually just worried about when his next plate of favorite food is coming。So many cool moments， somewhat spoilery: restaurant babe breaking into the mushroom guy's lair to locate her sort of boyfriend's alter ego， and punching the mushroom guy in the mouth in the process。 The mushroom fellow loses control and his magic spurts in a toxic cloud that begins turning the rest of his gang members， and friends， into mushrooms， in a disturbing fashion。 After they find out who transformed the protagonist's head into an alligator's， which ends up being quite surprising， the disturbingly sexy behemoth of a woman who works for mushroom guy turns into a huge mutated reptile who can't control her unleashed aggression。 Her beloved senpai stops her， getting eviscerated himself in the process。 Shortly after he stands around stoically while they perform a demonic ritual that will turn the woman back into normal; they needed a sample of her favorite person's guts as part of the ritual， but thankfully the guy's intestines were already hanging out while he casually witnessed the whole thing。 There's a great baseball sequence in which the hospital the protagonist works at plays against an opposing hospital; one of the members of the protagonist's team is a two meters tall， mind controlled cockroach， and the pitcher for the opposing team is a magic user who came to the Hole to murder the protagonist for killing his partner。 At some point the peculiar， half-retarded girl who got her face ripped off in the first volume （and who might have been half-retarded before， I'm not clear on that point）， visits a store owned by Death itself。 After buying some stuff there， Death gives her tickets to a horror movie it apparently produced。Plenty of other fascinating bizarre stuff going on that has melded together in my mind。 This is so far one of those series that you just want to go back to and enjoy a timeless， self-contained reality full of awesome characters。（Link to the full intro song of the anime adaptation， because I might as well） 。。。more

Weird manga， It’s quite gory and has lots of blood which is always a plus but this manga has horrible art and like no story 😅📖🔪👌💕💕

Es la historia， los propios personajes y el dibujo de la autora lo que me hace querer más cada vez que termino un volumen。 Es una mezcla exacta entre humor， sangre， un dibujo flipante acorde con la historia y un sinfín de personajes carismáticos 💕
