Deadman Wonderland Manga – Chapter 10

Sorry for posting this one late. I was trying to download it from MangaShare through MegaUpload but for some reason it wasn’t working until now.

Summary: We learn that Yoh (You) and Minatsuki both became liars after their mother’s death during the earthquake in Tokyo. Minatsuki pretends to be innocent in front of her brother and this irritates Ganta to an extent where he attempts to attack her even though Yoh is present. However, Yoh protects Minatsuki and she pulls a face from behind his back. She quickly plans another secret attack but pauses when Yoh asks her if this is how she killed father. Minatsuki, although surprised, returns to her insane self and uses Yoh as a shield against Ganta’s attack by tying him with her blood whips. She tells Ganta that there isn’t a single person in the world worth trusting. Round 2 ends and Ganta finds himself face to face with Senji, who is now wearing an eye-patch to cover the missing eye. Senji reminds Ganta that he’s not going to be able to defeat Minatsuki because his attacks are always straight, and informs him that he has to attack her hair since that is where her branch of sin comes from. Before leaving, Senji warns Ganta that anyone who beats him in a match has to win. Ganta uses his ‘Ganta Gun’, his attack named by Senji, and manages to hit a rebound to save Yoh from Minatsuki’s grasp. Ganta dives forward and head-butts her directly, knocking her out unconscious before telling her that the only one she’s hurting is herself. Meanwhile, the director is in a room with his two bodyguards, surrounded by corpses. The director looks ahead at Shiro who is resting on a large cushion and asks her to finish the lullaby for him. In the clinic, Yoh visits his comatose sister and Ganta enters, apologizing for hurting her. Shiro opens an eye and suddenly Deadman Wonderland experiences an earthquake. Minatsuki awakens from the tremble and remembers back when her mother had run off during the earthquake in Tokyo, and how she had just left her there alone. Presently, Minatsuki is about to get hit by a falling cupboard but Yoh saves her by stopping it. Yoh gets severely wounded by the glass that pierces into him but reassures his sister that he’s fine. Ganta’s chest starts hurting and he wonders how the song that his mother used to sing with Shiro ended, ‘The Woodpecker Lullaby’.

Thoughts: This was a very decent chapter but not so much ‘wtf’ moments. Minatsuki is now one of my favourites because of her insanity and Yoh continues to be a rather interesting character, especially since he said that he doesn’t care who his sister is, but he will always protect her. Aww, how sweet. I had hoped to see more of Shiro since the last time I saw her she was holding onto someone’s head. I wonder what she’s doing in Deadman Wonderland to begin with, and what relationship she has with the director. I like his bodyguards too — they look cool and remind me of the sisters from Full Metal Panic: the 2nd Raid (I think). Anyway, as always I am looking forward to the next chapter!
