I like this story, it's shorter and more concise while still relishing in the author's styles and themes. The bad guys are such real dicks too that I always appreciate.

It took just 5 chapters for Gai to become Akagi, but that's fine, they're a funny duo.

Old school villainy. Just keep it simple.

>>280567137
What are the odds it gets an actual adaptation?

>>280604198
Zero I presume. They aren't even adapting FKMT's more popular stories...

>>280606066
Who is to blame? They already know the formula for adapting it.

>1/12 of a year

The whole thing reminds me of the troubled teen industry in the states (probably exists elsewhere too but I only know of it there) such as Elan School. Very frustrating to read but you hang in there because you're hoping for a good conclusion.

>>280641665
>>280641691
>>280641721
>>280641750
>>280641775
I love the thought process he has his characters go through. It's almost like Poirot going over who the murderer is but it's just a thorough analysis of what just happened. It all makes sense and just like him we get frustrated at not having noticed it already.

>>280644781
Kurosawa, zero, bunch of other mahjong series, hell's golf

>>280652126
I remember reading about parents paying to have their kids essentially kidnapped to a "resort" in Jamaica. Rich parents who didn't want to raise their troubled children.

>>280610604
>The Human Institute
What the hell, there was a place I could learn to human all this time?!

>>280610387
>but how would you feel if you had eaten breakfast?

>>280654575
Yeah it's a whole 'industry' and it's just awful. Lots of documentaries about it but yeah, crazy how it was all (I think it still exists but thanks to public outcry they've been at least reformed in some form) legal, including the kidnapping part.

>>280652126
there used to be a couple of similar schools that in japan too, famously Hamada from Downtown was sent to such a strict school, Nissei Gakuen

>>280654662
The line between the right to parent your own children and child-abuse is one of the most difficult things to address in theory, and in practice close to impossible.

>>280644781
I think Hell's Golf is the latest one. It's different but also good.

>>280642024
I wonder if there's something you boil it down to. He's does it very consistently.

>>280652126
I wonder if the author has experience with that.

what a nice smilling old man

>>280644781
he did a lot of manga. This chart is a bit old since Hell Golf wasn't released yet but it still gives you an idea of his most popular works

>>280548173 (OP)
I remember this manga. The scene that I remember the most was when they were forced to lie down under a wall of glass for days or something like that.

Okay so far

>>280641807
Regret always comes too late.

>>280666332
Look for Elan School. There are multiple videos on it. And there is a comic made by one of the kids who attended it, Joe vs. Elan.

>>280690710
It even has a film adaptation. I know there's a torrent of it online but I haven't gotten around to watching it.
I planned on storytiming Confession then watchpartying the movie at the end but without subs, I don't think it'd be a good idea.

>>280673427
He was purely baiting

chapter 6 bump

Soon?

>>280548173 (OP)
Ah, I've been meaning to read this. I loved Kaiji and Kurosawa, but Mahjong filters me (also means I only know Kaiji Part 1 and 2... really should catch up before it resumes. Also read Ten, but most of it was lost on me) so it's nice this has none.
Is it true this was axed? If so, did it negatively affect the ending?
I'll catch up/read along anyway, just wanna know if I should curb my expectations as far as that's concerned.

This man is so correct nobody can argue with him.

>>280706594
It's made of the same material.
>>280707376
Zawa are murmur. Everyone was dead silent.

>>280701894
This always felt like a short story to me so I don't think it effected the ending much.

>>280713812
NTA but fair enough.

>>280707243
>>280713812
I see. The entry on Mangadex says this was cancelled, so I feared this might've led to a shitty/rushed ending.
Anyway, this is shaping up to be pretty interesting. Chapter 1 could've come straight out of Baki, that was unexpected.

I've been wondering for the longest time but does fkmt copy and paste? It feels like his dimensions, especially the faces and angles are way too perfect. I'm not putting him down for this as his simple style is iconic. It feels like every face has a perfect ratio for eyes, chin etc.

>>280716578
he rotates the paper 360° when he draws and just knows the angles, he can probably do it blindfolded, especially the 3/4 shot of the face

>>280704062
I don't know about iron rods and all that, but Gai has balls of steel.

>>280704223
CBT? In my facility? It will never happen!

>>280717998
Anything's possible with Fukumoto!

>>280697423
both Mamiya and Hell Golf are nowhere close to be finished, even New Kurosawa scanlations haven't seen a new chapter in 2 month. They would all end at a weird spot.

>>280719626
mamiya part 1 is completed and translated, and iirc last time we did kaiji arc 6 up to the latest chapters. I think it's fine to bring new readers up to speed.

>>280719139
kek

>>280716578
Considering how simple his face design is and how long he's been drawing is it wouldn't surprise if he just nails it off-hand.

Funny coincidence, the day Hirata is supposed to arrive at the Institute is July 19th.

We're getting close.

>>280766445
Thanks anon. This one always felt a little strange to me in its messages btw. Even without going too philosophical about whats freedom, can you call what Gai is trying to achieve independance? Even here he depends on prebuild free infrastrucre like abandoned houses and water fountains.

>>280766572
Well, that's already all there and it's not taking away from anyone else. You might as well say that even having a job is just relying on someone to give you money in return for services.

It's not that he wants to live in the middle of nowhere with no human contact and DIY his whole life, he just wants to feel that he's living by himself, for himself.

>>280766572
>can you call what Gai is trying to achieve independance?
I'd argue yes. In the same way a street cat leeching off human leftovers and infrastructure is considered independent. Would they survive without us? Probably not at the same scale, but some would just adapt to another environment. If I'm trying to be too pedantic, I don't think parasitism equates fully to dependence when the host (humans, society, gibs, parents) can't be bothered to push back, just like we can't be bothered to do anything about street cats. So in a way, the kids Gai is upset about are also independent, they've simply found a loophole system that cucks their parents into serving them.

Man, I remember this manga but I forgot how drawn out it was, but that's on par with the author. In my memory it was much more condensed.

>>280776988
Its not really drawn out though. It just feels like that becasue we are reading 20 pages a day

>>280775873

When was Buraiden Gai written?
I'm not gonna lie it's quite a good telling of perceptions changing as you fly the nest.
That feeling of superiority for living the "real thing" is kinda cringeworthy, but these are kids so it's perfectly natural for them to take pride in that.
It makes me feel that it's a retelling of FKMTs or one of his friends/family's actual experience or feelings around their teens and I wonder how far away that was when this was written.

flippity

>>280796355
You see this trope a lot but does covering yourself with newspapers like that even do anything.

>>280811098
it's camouflage

>>280796693
>>280796722
>>280796755
I can relate with the feeling
Not the actual circumstance, fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you want to look at it.
Unlike Gai, while I felt the same way, I was too cowardly to pursue it. Well maybe, there's also the fact that I wasn't in the same position as him. If I didn't have a family to be tethered to, like he doesn't I think I would have totally done the same as him, I mean i wanted to do it too and I'm in a much better situation.

But in the end the rational part of me won out, like all the other characters in the manga say it's kinda crazy and nonsensical to put up with those hardships when you really don't have to and also have no plan or anything like that, merely for the feeling of self-reliance and a sort of freedom that, like he notes actually isn't all that "free".

>>280811098
Yes, it does. Anything that stops direct exposure to air streams has a big effect.

>>280814744
Does wearing a big barrel with suspenders really help if you're poor?

>>280814839
If you set the barrel down it would. Or if the winds are harsh.

Here's a ranking on likelihood of FKMT adaptations (keep in mind, almost all of these are below 5% in terms of chance)
>Tonegawa/Ichijo/Hancho
Probably the most popular ongoing Fukumoto work still.
>Akagi Continuation or Remake
Extremely popular in Japan to this day, so I can see this happening.
>Buraiden Gai Movie or ONA
This seems like a weird pick, but yeah, this very well could happen considering it's a very condensed work, and we do see legacy works getting picked up for adaptations (a recent one was Oda's "MONSTERS", though that got tied into One Piece).
You can also lump in other one-shots and short stories here, like Confession.
>Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa
This could be adapted into multiple one cour seasons, or even condensed to a two cour season if a studio tried. It's fairly well received, and has had a spin-off and full sequel, which was also pretty popular.
>Kaiji S3 or Reboot
I don't think this will ever happen since Kaiji Part 3-6 is all one continuous story UNLIKE Parts 1 and 2, but this is more likely than everything after this point.
>Ten
Too hard on the mahjong, too reliant on Akagi in the final arc, too long. There's a reason most FKMT get adapted as dramas, and the mahjong is a big part of it (that and the fujoshi).
>Gin to Kin
Again, too 'hard', it's not exactly an anime you could sell an audience on.
>Zero
We're both long past the point where this could be up for adapting, as well as far beyond that fucking cliffhanger its been on for what, 12 years? 13 years?
>Misc. spinoffs and other works
Too niche or too tied up in other works to adapt.

>>280825476
>having hallucinations of being faster then his reflection (probably caused by bad nourishment and enviroment)
>laughing like a retard in the middle of the night
In hindsight its a good thing that he was sent to some sort of facility right?

>>280825332
Certain lows allow you to occupy land for long enough that you own it, and variations of that. I believe its intent was to settle title disputes, say if part of the Empire State Building was found to be the neighbors technically, to just make the case dissappear and maintain the status quo. You can't exactly demolish the building to move it? It's often abused by drug addicts who broke into construction sites and such to claim they own certain buildings, which is usually thrown out for being ridiculous, but a drain on the legal system and everyone involved.

I'd read it.

>Gin to Kin
>Again, too 'hard', it's not exactly an anime you could sell an audience on.
Gin to Kin is very popular in Japan and there's already a live action adaptation.

>>280836515
Yeah, but again, that's because the audience for Gin to Kin would be more receptive to a drama (it's a crime drama with a significant fujoshi audience), same reason why Ten and Akagi both had successful TV dramas.
I don't see these works getting anime simply due to that fact alone, that they would be more successful within another medium.

>(it's a crime drama with a significant fujoshi audience)
Of course it is. I should've known. It's only natural.

>>280825356

>Kaiji that low
Say it ain't so...

>Tonegawa
I want this so bad.

Again, Kaiji is too massive at this point. The manga as it is has no clear effective stopping point that isn't a cliffhanger until, at best, Part 5's ending. That's around THIRTY VOLUMES of material, and again, Part 5 is barely an ending.
They certainly could Akagi it and just stop at the end of Part 3 or 4, but that calls into the question why they even bothered. S1 and S2 existed to advertise a movie, that's why they exist, making an S3 to tell an incomplete story for no reason would be absurd.

This manga always reminds me how FKMT wishes he wrote Ashita no Joe

>>280843826
Could be a DavidPro situation where they're just in it for the long haul with the intent of doing all of it.
Chance of that are sub 0.01%

>the evil within
If we can't get resident evil can we at least get the evil within?
