Deadman Wonderland chapter 43 read

Summary

Ganta Igarashi has been convicted of a crime that he hasn't committed, and sent to a new, privately owned and operated prison, where the inmates are the main attraction in a modern day twist to the gladiatorial coliseums of ancient times. Throw in a healthy dose of weird little girl, some new-found super powers, and a little conspiracy theory, and you have Deadman Wonderland.
Artist(s) Kondou Kazuma
Genre(s) Action, Horror, Mature, Sci-fi, Shounen, Supernatural, Tragedy

That Yoshitaka is so evil is where some of the series' charm and a good deal of the series' fun factor come from. Characters like him in anime rarely get to be male protagonists, so he is a welcome change of pace in content otherwise awash with common romantic comedy clichés. Anna's relentless lesbianism has become an all-too-common archetype, and tough-minded and much-harassed heroines like Izumi are a dime a dozen. The girls' mildly creepy father is also an archetype that has also popped up a little too often of late, and the alligator Pochi is a little too similar in temperament to Hayate the Combat Butler's Tama (although this series came first by a couple of years). The girls' mother, while not an original character, is much more amusing for the way she merrily encourages Izumi to hook up with Yoshitaka. The one true breakthrough character is, quite surprisingly, Mitsuki, who gradually shows that her cheerily innocent disposition masks a subtle but almost frightfully effective talent for manipulating people; although her resorting to contests to resolve things may be eyeroll-inducing after a while, in retrospect the contests usually prove to be tailored specifically towards producing a desired result. If anyone is in real control in this series, she is.
