This is the official discussion thread to the manly manga called Riki-Oh!

So, let's discuss.

After a full volume, what are your thoughts on the manga?

Disgustingly great.

Awesomely ridiculous.

Re: Riki-Oh

I think so too.

Tetsuya Saruwatari is becoming one of my favorite mangakas with his gruesomely violent style and many interesting mangas.

Re: Riki-Oh

Are you guys at Illuminati planning on ever doing Oniwakamaru The Grotesque?

Re: Riki-Oh

Who knows. In the near-future, I don't think so. I already have too many projects. In the distant future, never say never.

Re: Riki-Oh

you guys know that there is also a movie right? it's live action and badass as all hell! you can buy it from amazon.com i believe. Also the manga is kickass, i read it about a year ago and it is one of my favotites ^-^

Re: Riki-Oh

Two movies, actually. An OVA as well.

Unfortunately, they're not all that good. ;/

Re: Riki-Oh

Well, the first movie is hilarious, I have it on DVD. But yeah, the manga is far better. Saruwatari is insane.

Oniwakamaru The Grotesque

*browses more RAW scans*

I'm beginning to think Saruwatari is a fan of Tool.

Also, the last 2 Riki Oh you guys have done have been some fun shit.

How do you figure?

Re: Riki-Oh

I mean you got Yomi skinning that little mute guy, and then this:

Now I know this is common in the seinen and horror world, but the way this mangaka does it, it keeps reminding me of Tool and their video with the really dusty people ripping their skins off and everything somehow.

 

[GGpX]

Bump.

Volume 10 is complete.

Awesomely Hardcore. It has Nazis, Armageddon, punches and kicks that rip off limbs and crush skulls and a storyline that would make Tolkien feel like a mental midget. Thanks Illuminati!
