In Progress The true face of Japan: Let's read Shigurui (NSFW obviously)

[Cowboy Moment]

I understand that with a title like this, most of you will enter this thread expecting shitting dick nipples on a planet-sized robot, lolis, pigeons, rape on top of someone's catatonic mother, and the reader was the cat all along. This could not be further from the truth. This will be serious in an old-fashioned way, and will earn its NSFW tag through classical nudity and gore.

I am a firm believer in letting a work of art speak for itself. Here we go.


A small introduction.

And here begins Chapter 1.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Man, one of these guys is gonna pop a vein.

 

[Excidium]

What the hell, you stop when shit is about to justify the NSFW tag? Post the rest of it, mang.

just visiting briefly to inform my bros that this series will contain some very slight homoerotic undertones

In other news, water is wet.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Please, not every manga has homoeroticism. Take Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, for example. Nothing but straight men lookin straight as you please.

 

[Random]

This should be good.

And a man pulling his bowels out with his own hands was not enough to justify it? Kids these days. You need cripple tranny guro in order to even get their attention.

And also female mutilation.

On a technical note, I've been wondering about spoilertagging the images. It makes the thread way more readable, but makes the images small enough, that you need to click on every one individually in order to read the text. What would you prefer, bros?

 

[Kane]

gay cripples beating the shit out of each other in japan?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I don't see the point in using spoiler tags. Just don't make too many updates on a single page.

Not a manga thing. Rather I'm expecting this to have the kind of machismo Commando has, which pretty much guarantees massive homoeroticism.

 

[Random]

Yeah, you don't need spoiler tags for this stuff.

 

[Haba]

There is nothing homoerotic about Shigurui. Unless you are in the opinion that samurai by definition were a bunch of queers.

I've said everything necessary in the earlier thread about the author. Shit is fucked up mang.

 

[Luzur]

almost every pic comes up as broken.

There's some sort of problem with images from imgur not being displayed on the Codex for some people; check out the relevant thread in Site Feedback

This is Chapter 2, where there is some explicit homoeroticism present, no matter what Haba says.

Thought you would get to see the tournament, bros? You won't even get to see any real violence, just Seigen being gay as fuck.

 

[Luzur]

somehow (now that i looked the manga up on google of course) they work.

 

[Excidium]

This went gay really fast. Good thing we had a pair of tits on the last panel.

 

[betamin]

This reminds me of that hilarious faggot that draws Grappler Baki or whatever was the name.

 

[RK47]

Fucking Katawa Samurai, man.

 

[Haba]

Uhm... Just because you find something sexually arousing does not make it homoerotic, Cowboy Shunkan. The most of the conflict comes from the contrast between the two protagonists - one represents the very "manly", honour bound and traditional school, one is very feminine and individualistic. And pulls off "gay" moves as well. You guys just need to get some dicks up your anuses and get it over with. Or just read some truly "gay" samurai literature where they spend all of their time fixing their make-up and reading or writing poems.
Edit: Oh wow why am I writing HTML formatted shit halphalphalp

 

[Cowboy Moment]

You have to remember Haba-kun, that not all of us are as experienced in the way of gay samurai literature. I will be looking forward to your guidance in this thread nonetheless.

 

[Kz3r0]

One of the characters practice self fellatio while thinking about the naked body of an underage boy and Seigen in the past had become the lover of a healer for the sole purpose to learn pressure points.
However, I think that the depiction of naked male bodies with anatomic details of bones, muscles and internal organs is intended to present the 'beauty' of the warrior coupled with the base reality of his bodily functions, to suit the ideological theme of the story.

 

[SerratedBiz]

Goddamn it Kz3ro, don't spoil the thing.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

My asspie mind demands that I post this update before we get to page 2.

So here's Chapter 3, which proves fat people are evil.

No homoeroticism this time I'm afraid.

 

[LundB]

Guy should have thought twice about insulting people he was considering becoming a pupil of...

 

[SerratedBiz]

So is this one of those things where every swordsman that comes after the one we've just seen is so much stronger than the previous ones? Will they fight in space at the end?
