Summary
A blood-spattered battle between diabolical sorcerers and the monsters they created。
In a city so dismal it's known only as "the Hole，" a clan of Sorcerers has been plucking people off the streets to use as guinea pigs for atrocious "experiments" in the black arts。 In a dark alley， Nikaido found Caiman， a man with a reptile head and a bad case of amnesia。 To undo the spell， they're hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole， hoping that eventually they'll kill the right one。 But when En， the head Sorcerer， gets word of a lizard-man slaughtering his people， he sends a crew of "cleaners" into the Hole， igniting a war between two worlds。
Caiman finds his true face， and the person who cursed him is revealed， shaking the world to its foundation！ The severely injured Nikaido's heath is draining perilously。 Meanwhile， En may just possibly have met his match。 What drives him？ A dark secret known to none save En himself。。。

Four and a half。 This is a general review of volumes 10 and 11。This week I'm working from home because of the whole people dying stuff， but I'm still swamped with tasks and with no break in sight，

reviews。 So I just remember general stuff about what happened in these great couple of volumes， but I still Four and a half。 This is a general review of volumes 10 and 11。This week I'm working from home because of the whole people dying stuff， but I'm still swamped with tasks and with no break in sight， given that I'll likely be working through the summer as well。 At home ironically I have more issues concentrating enough to read even when I get the chance， and I can't focus enough to write the reviews。 So I just remember general stuff about what happened in these great couple of volumes， but I still felt compelled to write something about them。We left Ebisu， the skull-masked， previously half-retarded magician with the ability to turn herself or others into reptiles， as she had recovered her previous mental state and realized that she had parents。 She abandons the mafia-like family that had sheltered her， leaving her best friend behind as well， and marches towards the isolated house of her parents。 Her friend likes her and worries enough to follow her against her wishes。 She tricks him into following her into a shady club only to leave unseen， and the guy almost gets killed by the local gang。 It made me lose quite a few sympathy points for this weird girl。When she arrives at her parents'， she ends up facing her own face。 Her parents， bereaved after her only daughter had disappeared mysteriously， had made a pact with some shady magician， who had created a sort of demonic clone of her daughter。 But as these things go， the clone ended up being a hardcore psychopath， and the parents fled never to be seen again。 The only adult remaining is Ebisu's grandmother。 As the old woman explains the crazy situation to Ebisu， the psychopathic clone bursts into the room and caves the grandmother's skull in with a tray of cookies， because the woman had burned the cookies or whatever。 Ebisu doesn't like that her grandmother was murdered， so she takes some powdered magic essence， the local version of cocaine， to power up and destroy this bitch。 Memorably， she turns into a dinosaur and begins tearing her clone apart。 As the clone laid almost in pieces， Ebisu's friend comes in and sees her in trouble。 That distracts Ebisu enough so that the clone attacks with her morphing arm turned into sharp stuff， and rips through a quarter of Ebisu's torso and her skull。 The friend， shocked but having to fight for his life as well， gobbles up the magic cocaine and becomes the kind of powerful he always wanted to be。 He destroys the clone。 However， Ebisu is dying: the friend attempts frantically to keep together the separated halves of her brain。 She ends up dying in his arms。 However， this is a world in which people can revive if they know the right person （usually a magician）， so he does what others had before him: he carries the rotting corpse of his friend towards home。Regarding our beloved alligator head dude and his restaurant woman/time magician best friend， they had been fleeing from the main bad guy as well as trying to find out who alligator dude was in his previous life， pre amnesia， and also to run into the breathing version of the gang member that alligator fella has in his magical mouth。 It's hard to summarize anything for this series， because little of it makes sense unless you've been following it。 In any case， I don't remember much of this sequence except that the big bad guy， mushroom fellow， who can turn entire towns into mushrooms if needed， has found their position and teletransports right in front of them。 The mushroom guy had intended to forcefully turn Nikaido， the time magician， into his partner because that would allow him to go back in time and figure out if he actually killed the serial killer of magicians who had almost killed him。 Alligator head dude won't allow his beloved to slip away from his non-clawed hands， and he confronts the terrifying magician。 Nikaido is stunned at her best friend's decision to throw away his existence to save her。 Although alligator head dude is immune to magic， he isn't immune to breathing spores and then having those mushrooms explode-grow through his stomach， which is what happens。 Even though his intestines are falling through the hole in his torso， he faces the mushroom dude and breaks his mouth with a punch。 In the grand scheme of things， though， that doesn't accomplish much， and mushroom dude ends up leaving through a portal with Nikaido。 The alligator head dude lays dying， and actually dies or something。 The "or something" is important in this series。 In the middle of all this， alligator head dude turned magically into regular human head dude。 Nikaido had a glimpse of this stranger's face shortly before she was kidnapped。Along the way we learn more about who the protagonist was before his head got transmogrified into a reptile's。 He used to live in the Hole， the world of the non-magic users， as a sort of orphan。 Angry and bitter， he sought the way to become powerful and fight back against the system， I don't recall if just out of general powerlessness or because some magician killed his parents or whatever。 The doctor character， who looked back then as if he were in his forties （a contraposition to how he looks in the present of this story， when he appears to be in his early twenties。 This is a world full of magic， so almost anything could have happened to turn him younger）， took pity on this guy and let him into his experiments to figure out how magic users operate。 After the kid risks his life to save a magic user and lays dying， he begs the doctor to operate on him and test his theory about how to turn non-magic users into magicians。 The doctor proceeds with the operation， which I suppose involves a transplant （maybe he transplanted from a corpse the literal little demon that all magic users have lodged inside their brains）。 The kid survived。 Although his mood got darker and darker， maybe an obvious consequence of having a little demon inside his brain， he claimed that the operation was a success and he was now a magic user。 However， some days after， the doctor finds the kid's corpse。 Sad， the doctor leaves the whole thing be， but in the present he has realized that it was that kid's face， but grown， the one he had seen in the statues of the big boss of the gang our protagonist alligator head dude was pursuing。 All the threads are coming together: the protagonist used to be this kid， who got sort of killed but survived and somehow ended up as a legendary， hardcore serial killer of magicians， only to be transformed into a reptile after some encounter， which erased his memories of his previous life。We find out that the former demon， and childhood mentor of Nikaido， who had gotten ripped out of his demonic form and flayed， had teletransported to where the dead protagonist was lying。 He then fled with his corpse。 However， the next thing the former demon knows is that he woke up next to a very alive person wearing the clothes of the protagonist。 He's wearing a mask， yet he clearly doesn't have an alligator head anymore。 In a nice twist， this reborn version of the protagonist， now called Aikawa， lacks the memories of his years long stint as a partial member of the reptile genus， and more tragically he has no clue about who this Nikaido person is， although she used to be his very best friend in the whole world。 The former demon is confused， but they both end up teletransporting to mushroom fellow's mansion and visiting Nikaido。 The poor woman has been resisting the forceful partnership， and as a result her body is wasting away。 Mushrooms are growing out of one of her eyes and also presumably growing through her insides， and she needs to use a cane to move when she gets enough energy to leave the bed。 She's only kept together by Noi's restoration magic hooked to her veins。 In any case， she gets the sense that this big fella is her best friend， although he has no clue what she's talking about。 She asks to see his face。 When he refuses， she attacks him， frantically trying to figure out if he has the same face she saw back when the former alligator head dude was fighting for her life。 He defeats her rather abruptly （he wraps his legs around her torso and crashes her head against a wall）， but he's moved by this heavily injured babe's dedication， so he shows her his face。 She isn't sure， however， if he looks like she expected him to。At some point Ebisu， the reptile magician， gets revived。 However， she had been wearing a "cheer inducing" charm as a hair clip， given to her corpse by the gay henchman who now walks around with a mushroom instead of a head， and in the process of sealing her brain into a whole， the charm fell inside。 As a result Ebisu is alive and finds everything extremely hilarious， to the disgrace of the moody people around her， who get annoyed and tired of the constant mockery。I didn't mention that when alligator head dude died， the gang member's ghost or whatever that was living inside of him leaves his body， and laments out loud that he wasn't the one to kill the protagonist。 He then flies away to find the living version of his body， who hangs tied in a gang hideout。 Despite the gang member's reluctance， the spectre climbs inside him through his mouth， and he transforms into a sort of superpowered living curse。 He injures a couple of gang members rather bad， which afterwards will force the remaining members， even though they are broke， to focus their efforts on acquiring medicines， and the living curse flees。 What I can gather about this presence is that maybe he's the evil that had been lodged inside the protagonist and that had "forced" him to become a serial killer of magicians。 Now that the otherworldly force lives inside another host， he beelines towards his nemesis: the mushroom fellow。Mushroom guy had spent the last few years obsessing over the monster who almost killed him， and endures the nightmares to this day。 His recent efforts had been focused on getting access to a time magician in order to travel to that moment in the past when he could certify whether he actually killed his nemesis。 In a sudden turn of events， the living curse appears in the mushroom guy's mansion with clear intent to murder him。 The mushroom guy， uncharacteristically terrified， faces the monster。 Although we've seen this guy destroy anyone he wanted， he gets slaughtered: we see one of the main gang members as he witnesses how the living curse carries away the mushroom guy's decapitated head。 I hope the guy doesn't remain dead; despite how much he's fucked things up for the protagonists， he's a very compelling character with a sympathetic edge to him。I suspect that other important stuff happens that has fallen through the many holes in my tired brain， but what can you do。 。。。more

Przepraszam z góry wszystkich， którzy uważają， że ta seria nie zasługuje na 10。 Czy zasługuje czy nie？ Ech， to jest dobre pytanie。 Psychodelizm， krwawy， czarny humor， rysunki i prosta， ale jakże wciągająca fabuła po prostu chwyciły za moje serce。 Nie potrafię się oderwać， nie potrafię przestać czytać。 To jest cudowne， zaskakujące i już nie pamiętam kiedy tak mocno wciągnęłam się w jakąkolwiek mangę！ Coś niesamowitego！

Q Hayashida has a wickedly twisted imagination， and she outdoes herself in this volume。 I'm still not sure I really understand what exactly happened with the transformation into Curse， but it was gloriously gory and bizarre。 And then what's going on with the walking corpse missing it's shoulders and head， casually having tea with one of the crosseyes。 The chapter in which we get to see Judas's Ear's subtitled thoughts was a nice dose of humor mixed into the tension of wondering if Ebisu would su Q Hayashida has a wickedly twisted imagination， and she outdoes herself in this volume。 I'm still not sure I really understand what exactly happened with the transformation into Curse， but it was gloriously gory and bizarre。 And then what's going on with the walking corpse missing it's shoulders and head， casually having tea with one of the crosseyes。 The chapter in which we get to see Judas's Ear's subtitled thoughts was a nice dose of humor mixed into the tension of wondering if Ebisu would successfully be brought back。 The climactic events around En were unexpected and sudden， so Hayashida continues to be able to surprise me。 。。。more

The first couple chapters here are really weird。 Really weird。 Thankfully， that wasn't the tone for the rest of this volume， but it is the reason it's not another five-star installment。 It didn't go quite where I thought it would， after the huge development at the end of Volume 10， but I still thoroughly enjoyed Volume 11。 Long story short， if you've liked the series thus far， you won't be disappointed here。 The first couple chapters here are really weird。 Really weird。 Thankfully， that wasn't the tone for the rest of this volume， but it is the reason it's not another five-star installment。 It didn't go quite where I thought it would， after the huge development at the end of Volume 10， but I still thoroughly enjoyed Volume 11。 Long story short， if you've liked the series thus far， you won't be disappointed here。 。。。more
