The way he was breaking up that glass in Chapter 91 page 20 gave me the chills!  Fellow can chop a finger off using a pick like that...

 

While I understand what you mean I think the odds of him accidently injuring himself like that would be pretty low (at least at such a young age). He's supposed to be insanely skilled at what he does so it means he would be able to do it with his eyes covered, next he's not really a jumpy person so someone breaking in and screaming in his ear wouldn't be enough to make him lose focus. So really all that could ever injure him is "random act of fate" and well.. in those cases your always boned no matter what you do.

I imagine he's a fellow frog-eater. In France, "ice" is the word "glace". See ? Glass // Glace, there's room for confusion.

 

I see your point, but it's not very convincing :/

 

If we were talking about something like crayon vs crayon, which look identical written down but in reality indicate two very different things in each language, I might be more inclined to buy it.

 

(Finally, a conversation where my high school French lessons come into play!)

Hmm? Wasn't that ice?

rape face

haha 2 old men who hates each other, stupid retards.

As much as sentimental the chapter is (which is pretty lame for me because I kept having tears in my eyes every recent chapter), I can't discredit the comic relief from when that guy stormed out to bar hop...

Nice heartwarming chapter :)

This last chapter (ch 90) is one of the used in the oh so short live action drama. The way it goes is somewhat different and has a little more depth about the story behind Sanae and Mari, but the core is basically the same. It made me realize that I liked the concept of basing the drama in a "growing up" Ryuu instead of the "mature" Ryuu we have in the manga, it provided a nice shift.

best chap in a while.

*Here comes a new challenger*

She doesn't like bartenders? Oh, someone is looking to be put in the harem.

Heh I looked at my last comment and again I get the same feeling

Awesome chapter. I wonder if there were some couples that were saved by this chapter?

Amazing chapter.. made me stop for a bit to reminisce. Good lesson, good lesson indeed.

Lots of life lessons to be learned in this.

Guhh. After all this, and before when he traveled, I still can't believe Sasakura doesn't have a girlfriend, yet. 

SCelG.gif

@oposum yea I got that I wasn't trying to say I wanted an unrealistic happy ending and that was still a great chapter, but I just can't help it if I don't like the impending death of a character I got attached to, no matter how many times I'm told "life goes on". I'm glad he's recovering though.

 

Anyways another great chapter, it made me reflect on all of the past chapters and think of all the lives Ryu has affected from behind the counter of the bar.

Nice chapter.

"it doesnt matter what happens around me, i just need to get drunk"
@Frost because it is not Hollywood where everything has a happy unfinished ending... It was kinda the moral that life goes on and people die...
Three days later...a puppy drowned in the blood of a murdered kitten.

See I can make shit-ruining lines too.
