Deadman Wonderland Manga - Chapter 09
Minatsuki … you liar!
Summary: You continues wandering in search for Sector 4, trying to forget what he had seen Shiro do yesterday and his determination is restored when he focuses on saving Minatsuki. Ganta rests in his cell when he overhears Minatsuki warning Masu to not eat her pot plant. Ganta offers Masu his tray of food instead since he doesn’t feel like eating. Realizing that Masu is going to demand for more food, Minatsuki leads Ganta away to her room, which is filled with lots of different flowers.
Minatsuki thanks Ganta and he explains that ever since the incident when he saw his friends die, he hasn’t been wanting to eat. He goes to tell her that he thinks Deadman Wonderland is a twisted place and Minatsuki agrees that she’s sick of hurting people and others hurting her during the Carnival Corpse. She squeezes onto his shoulders and Ganta starts blushing, but decides to change the atmosphere by commenting that her room smells nice. Minatsuki says she thinks so too and picks up a Primrose, explaining that this is her brother’s favourite, also mentioning how pure and kind he is like Ganta. She says that she’s always known about her powers but because she was afraid of bringing harm to her friends and family, she stayed in the house all the time. Her father knew of her weird ability therefore hit her a lot. Her brother, who is You, was always there to protect her. One day, her father was about to rape her and You took out a switch-blade to attack him. Minatsuki notes that she can’t remember anything that happened after that but knows that she had used her powers. You, however, not knowing of his sister’s ability, thought that it was all his fault. Later on, Minatsuki was taken to Deadman Wonderland as a prisoner while You is now searching for a means to save her, believing that he should be the one in her place. Minatsuki returns to complaining that she doesn’t want to hurt people any more and Ganta suggests that they run away together.
Meanwhile, You knocks out a guard and disguises himself in the man’s uniform. Ganta and Minatsuki run out but are stopped by some officers who think they’re out to train for the Carnival Corpse tomorrow. Ganta doesn’t know about it so he asks them and Minatsuki reveals to him that she, the “Hummingbird”, is Ganta’s opponent. In the director’s room, Tamaki takes the director’s cord that helps him to breathe and destroys it, justifying his action that the show must go on. The next day, the battle begins and before the match commences, Ganta tells Minatsuki that he doesn’t want to hurt her. Suddenly, Minatsuki uses her power and Ganta is wounded severely. Minatsuki apologizes and comments that acting like a virgin is disgusting. Sadly, Ganta realizes that Minatsuki had been lying to him and she remarks that she loves that look. Ganta calls her a “biach” and attacks her with his power but the moment freezes when You asks what Ganta is doing to his sister.
Thoughts: Shit, DW really is some twisted manga. I loved the whole idea of Minatsuki pretending to be all innocent because I really don’t like characters like her. Once she stopped faking her personality, I was like: “WOW, this is one awesome chick.” Insane killers are the best and I just enjoy seeing them in anime/manga. If Deadman Wonderland becomes an anime, then I hope it’s just as good as the manga or even better. Minatsuki exposing her true self was just really unpredictable because I had thought she really was an angel and that she wasn’t going to hurt Ganta either. I was waiting for the “corny” moment … but … this … manga … it is just the best read ever.
