Rebuild World - Vol. 2 Ch. 8

Wow, she actually said that three times? You know, sometimes, a scanalation group commits this weird mistake where they repeat a speech bubble in the same frame, and you can usually spot an empty speechbubble soon after. But not here, no, she actually said "beautiful" three fucking times. Alpha's a fucking riot, I like her. Akira is a ton of fun too. It's a good manga, but damn slow on the chapters.
 
@SuperRobotSolo You made me think of a specific group that does that about once per chapter. I honestly can't remember the other series or groups I've seen that in, the sheer amount of times they've made that mistake drowns everyone else out in my head.
 
What a fucking way to end a chapter. You could have gone with about helping her out using cliches like "so, what's the plan?". But no, you ended with wondering about the coin flip, the fucking coin flip. That better have an important role in this arc.
 
The coin flip is pointless since Akira chooses what to do anyway. It's likely just to make her wonder.
 
What is with these authors/artists and their poor design sense? Though outfits like Sheryl's are FAR better suited to girls who look like Alpha, they waste them on characters like Sheryl. Instead, Alpha gets the outfits that try too hard to exhibit sex appeal, and pantyhose (which always look like granny panties with legs, I don't get why people like them so). The one exception was that lovely dress she wore when Akira hid inside her.

Seems like a double waste to me, because Sheryl's not very smart: "Negotiations"? She vastly overestimates the strength of her position, given how she could only stare down the barrel of his gun--petrified with terror--the first time they met, and broke down in terrified tears the second time they met when she flashed back to that same time. (BTW, back then, where was the sense in rounding the same corner that was a killing field that claimed at least two guys standing in front of her?)

I wouldn't be surprised if she dies soon.
 
All components of this manga are fine, nothing really innovative or groundbreaking but certainly well executed. Art, dialogue, concepts, etc.
The ruthless attitude of Akira that shines through and implied in Alpha is what elevates this though. I also like the detail of honeypot training as a reason why Akira is not flustered nor horny for the loli.
”BeautifulX3” was the cherry on top
 
@Giga calling out artist and their "poor" design sense, with your own subjective opinion about fashion. Nice job.
