Hunter X Hunter, tome 16 by Yoshihiro Togashi
4.0
Hunter X Hunter Volume 16
Story: 5/5
Art: 5/5
Gon, Killua, and Biscuit decide to play the game seriously after their training and start collecting cards. The other teams in the group quickly form an alliance to prevent the Serial Bombers Team from winning the game. The players travel to Soufrabi, where they realize they fulfill the conditions to get the Hard-To-Get Card. The alliance has to beat the pirates in competitive sports and win eight games but most members of the alliance are useless. Gon’s team decides to come back with a group of stronger competitors to win Razor’s challenge. They find Hisoka, and Killua figures out that he's looking for a Nen Eraser in Greed Island. Gon’s team subsequently forms an alliance with Hisoka, Tsezguerra’s team, and some others. They win most of the games--halfway through, Razor changes the rules--if they win a Dodgeball game, they can get the card.
There were some very interesting panels when the boys reached Hisoka, who was taking a bath at a lake. By taking a bath, I mean only his knees were submerged but he was naked. After he greets the boys and calls them his little fruits (and gets his happy smile on), the images for those in the manga where his body (with the speech bubble conveniently placed), the boys expressions suddenly change and one of their comrades calls Hisoka a pervert. THIS MANGA, I CAN'T EVEN.
