Game X Rush, Volume 2 by Mizuho Kusanagi

kiki6k's review

4.0

Game x Rush attempts to blend action and humor, but leans more towards a melancholic story. The core concept of a bodyguard and assassin locked in an unexpected bond is intriguing. However, the story feels rushed due to its limited two-volume format. The overall plot arc holds promise, but would have benefited from a more fleshed-out narrative.

~3/5

This is clearly a weaker series, probably an earlier series, by Kusanagi. I have quite enjoyed her previous ones, whereas this was more meh.

The humor is rather exaggerated but funny, and a lot of the chapters are episodic with only hinting of something deeper. Until we finally get further in this volume, and we finally see what Yuuki has been hiding. And, honestly, it is really bad. It’s dark, and I feel terrible for him.

Having lived in such a terrible situation when he was a kid, and then finally finding the real child who should have been there. It’s bad, and I feel for him. But the reveal needed to happen, and I think it worked out understandably. The ending was fitting.

Overall, it was an okay series.

I didn't expect the ending to give me quite the flavor of frustration that No. 6's end gave me, but here we are unfortunately.

If you know, you know.
