This second volume moves into a little more action, as Hideo begins to realize the chaos that is happening around him. There are so major wow that is terrifying moments, some of which are drawn from mundane things, made worse by the knowledge of what is happening. For example, at one point Hideo is stranded in the woods at night, it is pitch black, and he is freaking out due to his own issues; however, as a reader I couldn't help but also be scared, I mean the zombie apocalypse is happening, so a lot of his fear is justified! But being scared of the dark in the woods is such a mundane fear, made real in this story.

Hideo ends up joining up with the girl on the cover later in the story, and his gun finally gets fired! I am really excited to dive into the 3rd volume and see where these characters go. Hideo's odd humor and issues really resonate with me and I like the dynamic of a teen age girl constantly reassuring him, while seeming far less phased by everything.

Este segundo tomo de I Am a Hero nos introduce ya en la acción de un Japón en pleno Apocalipsis Zombie y con nuestro protagonista en el centro de todo.

Si el primer tomo servía como introducción de los personajes sin que la trama nos enseñe gran cosa, en este segundo tomo suceden muchísimas más cosas, aún que a mi gusto, en exceso y sin profundizar demasiado.

Por el momento considero curioso el tipo de Zombie que aquí se muestra con un atisbo de consciencia que le queda de su vida anterior. Pero muy a mi pesar, creo que el concepto general no está siendo mucho de mi agrado. El tono humorístico que se muestra en un mundo apocalíptico no consigue hacer en mi gran cosa, y aún que la idea la considero buena, por el momento no me parece un guión especialmente novedoso. Ya que en la práctica, historias sobre Apocalipsis Zombie hay a patadas. Y pocas son las que se desmarcan con algo nuevo, fresco o que llegue a captar la atención.

Le daré unas pocas oportunidades a esta "aclamada serie" aún que por el momento considero que le falta un punto de seriedad y potencia en los personajes.

repeated out loud “oh my god”s were spoken. the gore in this is not tame!!!

For Fuck sake he just noticed he had a bloody gun
I am really confused about this guy He acts stupid but when he talk he is not really
its like a really shy introvert pacifist Found himself suddenly in a zombie apocalypse before there was ever games or tv shows about the dam thing
I am amazed that he is still alive and not for lack of trying from the zombie side lol
the zombies in this series are very unique at least for me They talk 1 line or a word or something it feels like the last thing they said before they died , or maybe its the thing they are thinking about the most
Did Tekko san really destroy her teeth because she knew she could infect him with them ?
Was she saying I love you hideo because that's the last thing she said before she died or because she still have a thought pattern and its revolving around her love for hideo?
Plus it seemed like she wanted to cut something like she is making food
I don't know exactly how to feel about these people not understanding the disastrous situation they are facing , I mean Dead is dead right if someone looks dead you need to be freaked out and at least leave the premises not say dad/gramps/mom no stop it
And the only guy who actually thought about fighting back so far is mitani sensei he could helped hideo out a lot to take a stand
Where did all my babbling come from i don't even know i thought i will just write a few words and that's it but fuck it i love to talk about my books its a sign that i was immersed in it.

a lot better than the first volume, fast paced, the tekko arc was SUPER interesting, nice to know more about the other employees in the studio, hideo only negative, his ignorance/the fact he was unaware of the severity of the situation until late in the volume was annoying

edit: 3.5 stars

The action has seriously picked up on this and I managed to get through this A LOT quicker than the slow burner before. The grayscale on the panels were part of some gorgeous art. I'm still interested and will keep going until it bores me, however if the action is like this then it may never do that!

Weird. The good kind of weird I guess. About Zombies and stuff...

Esse segundo volume, faz valer a pena todo o lenga lenga do primeiro. A ação não para, já que a primeira pessoa contaminada no círculo do Hideo é a sua namorada maluca , que lógico tenta comê-lo de todas as formas. Aí começa o desespero.
Eu particularmente gosto muito desse momento nas histórias de holocausto zumbi: quando as pessoas percebem o que está acontecendo mas ficam sem acreditar muito, enquanto a horda de zumbis começa a aparecer e comer todo mundo! É aquele corre-corre, mãe desconhece filho, é cada um por si e Deus por todos. E todos contra a Argentina. (Brincadeira!)
Eu gostei muito desse mangá, o segundo volume que fique claro. Mas apesar da extrema chatice o primeiro volume ajuda vc a conhecer o personagem principal, que será o “herói” da história. Um herói bem merda, mas ainda assim o herói.
Outro ponto positivo, na minha opinião, são os traços dos personagens, tipicamente orientais, o que difere de outros mangás que muitas vezes apresenta uma ocidentalização exagerada dos personagens.
De um modo geral, acho que vale a pena e continuarei comprando.
