Tokage no Ou

Yea I know he cut off her arm. And, Tch, her arm's gonna stay that way huh...
 
Seriously, if this prologue ends without Tokage doing a single shit, I'll murder this mangaka.

Aren't prologues normally short... ?  I can only imagine how long this story is going to take if we're still on the prologue and it's already been a year.

If I understand it right the prologue is basically the first volume of the light novel. So it is a prologue of the series rather than a single book.

* page 1-19*

Okay, at least nobody lost a finger hahahahaha

*page 20*

...Well, fuck.

if you just take this prolouge on its own then yes there is a plot. a very classic horror plot. "tokage enters a building and must fight to survive"

There are questions that remain to be answered, but the plot makes plenty of sense if you pay attention to what's going on. Personally, I'm finding it quite enjoyable.

plot? what plot? oh you mean the plot in the first 2 chapters that disappeared somewhere along with the timeline? the plot hasn't actually gone anywhere since chapter 3. hell it might still not have gone anywhere since chapter one. where still on the intro. if this were a novel, this chapter would be the first one and would be called prolouge and it'd be about half the book (book being 500 pages long) and people would be going, so~~ is this SAW in book form?

sad part is so far this manga has less plot than any of the saw movies.

i'm serious about their being almost not plot so far. i mean what do we know? that people have developed powers. that there is a new religious power around a girl with wings. that there is an underworld organization (yeah real original there). but thats all we know. well that and that the MC is currently powerless and will possibly be a wimp for a while. but what is the plot? is the MC gonna join the angel girls side or the underworld or some government organization? is he gonna try and take down one or more of the 3? is he gonna cry and piss himself from now on? we know NOTHING right now. thats the real reason i want the LN's translated. i need to know whats going on.

frankly after ch.1 the title should have changed to "Part 1: the Loss" or something. maybe then i could better accept this lack of progress towards a plot and just accept story progress period. actually if it had been changed to that title i would have been like "oh, he lost his eye ok we are getting somewhere now" then 2 chapters later after losing his eye be like "WHY IS IT SOO SLOWWWWW!" again.

Spoiler

Kingfiser cuts her right arm. On this picture we only see her left arm.

Also, illustration from 2 volume of LN:

Ain't this the girl that just got her arm cut off? '~'

Kill it with fire

Magikarp I choose y..., wait a sec, what!? Hmm, is it a reference that though the MC (in the prologue) is useless, weak, and being played with like a ragdoll by everyone, both "friend" and enemy, he will turn evolve into a Gyarados?

That said it would be nice if someone picked up the LN for translation, I like this story so far, but the questions are annoying to wait a month for.That being said I guess this has probably sold some LN editions of the story.

I think they would still think it's progressing slowly. Because we've already clarified that the MC is Tokage but, we still haven't been given a good enough reason on WHY he is the main character. They have 30 questions in the beginning and answer 1 question every month after making it a very exhausting manga. I would love to read the light novel but, as a monthly manga? I think i'd rather lose my own eye much like Tokage-kun.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.  To those saying the "Prologue" part of the titles are meaningless and that the story has already started, yes, it is meaningless, no one gives a shit about the titles.  What we do give a shit about is the ACHINGLY SLOW pace of the plot progression.  Like JKitty said, in a light novel that tackles this "prologue" in one go, it would be bearable, maybe even enjoyable.  But in a monthly manga?  Well fuck me with a stick.  This is a case of an unfortunately mis-paced adaptation.  I still have some love for this manga - great art, engaging set-up, promise of mystery, but... fuck.

thank you Jkitty, just thank you. i glad someone can throughly explain why no matter what anyone says that the pacing is crap and flooded with filler.

you just don't put filler in a monthly series. at least not early on. and especially not ever with as much as this series has.

I wouldn't call this filler, more so much a PLODDINGLY UNHURRIED plot.  The author seems determined to go at the pace of a turtle climbing a hill made of molasses.  And while they're bogged down in the details, the rest of us have raced up this hill and witnessed the end of the Universe.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the author has redefined it to be about two words by my measure, and has written about a paragraph in the past year.  It took Tolkien 12 years to write 9,250 pages, let's not take 12 years to write a single page.

You get the picture.

WHat .... WAHT THE FLYING FUCK  ....

13 chapters full of filler shits ... The plot don't even make much sense .......... i belive the author is trollnig ..... maybe the end of the LOOOOOOOONG PRolouge is actually the manga's

What.

The.

KARP!

Leave slug alone! This fucking bullies man.

That aside, someone already spoiled it last chapter but it is nice to see it explained in much more detail. lol at the people complaining. Slow pace but as long as it's understandable, I don't mind.

Continue like this and you will see your deserved axe flyin' your way.

I would like the sadistic girl to be the 1st victim of Tokage's power but i highly doubt it will happen

I like how they give you a flash back in, what is essentially, a flash back just in case you forgot that happened in this flash back....

THE AUTHOR IS XZIBIT!!!

"repaint the world" my ass, you eventually did nothing noticeable.

this is just getting dumb now going to unfollow if it doesn't do anything within the next 2 chapters

the author must have some kind of metal condition...

Just started reading this today, and I can already feel how lost I'm going to be when the next chapter comes out...

This seriously should NOT be a monthly series.
