Another great volume. This is definitely my kind of story, a historical battle manga set against a religious backdrop and existential artistry. This was a well balance volume that offered up some answers such as the fact the tensen were made by Jofuku and are researching how to turn everyone immortal. Crazy thing about Jofuku is that I have heard of him before! There is a park dedicated to him in Wakayama that I had lunch in. It was a pretty cool park and I’d had no idea that the guy would be showing up in a manga. I love these connections to my experience in Japan. The fight between Gabimaru and Aza Chobe started the volume off and they really went at it until Mei stopped them and sent Chobe away. Turns out Mei is one of the original Tensen which is cool. Lends itself to the balance of tao that makes up the power. It was cute getting to see Sagiri tease Gabimaru in an attempt to get his tao healed back up. I’m really glad that Yui is real. The training battle was fun to watch and the banter between everyone has been a blast. The characters really have a great chance to shine when all hanging out. The end stretch where Chobe and Rien have sex as a way to understand each other was surprisingly informative, definitely understand a lot more about the greater mystery now.

Epic battles, cannibalism, and maybe the elixir of life! Just another day in Hell's Paradise...
This volume does not disappoint readers! The plot immediately picks up with Gabimaru battling Aza Chobe while suffering from memory loss. Yamada Asaemon Sagiri and her group are trying to reconnect with the others. More pieces of the Tensen puzzle come together with a big reveal of the overarching plot. However, as readers should come to expect with this series, there are more questions than answers at the end. The story still has a lot of humor and gore. The volume ends at the perfect cliffhanger that will leave readers eager for the next volume!

I’m still such a fan of this series’ use of weird elements and unsettling imagery! It works so well, given the fucked up origins of the island, of which we finally got to learn more in this volume. I gotta to say though, I’m annoyed that we’re still entertaining the “weird sexual comments after ageing up” trope for laughs and I didn’t really expect it to pop up, given this series subversion of certain classic Shounen manga tropes.
Anyway, I’m curious how this series will continue. It’s completely unpredictable, at least for me, and that’s one of the major strengths of Hells Paradise.

Fua qué tomo, no? Gabimaru y Chobe se comen la cámara todo el tiempo.
Questions are being answered and things are getting even more interesting! Excited to see where things go!
Side note: The art is so beautiful, yet unsettling and I absolutely love it. Also, although Gabimaru has some great moments, Aza definitely takes the cake with the most badass panels so far
