(L) Btooom!

Did I miss something, isn't the glasses guy with the camera already confirmed to have killed the old lady when he activated one of her BIMs or was it one of his own?

How about having one person activating the old lady's BIM while being restrained by 2-3 others? They could make an impromptu glove where only one finger sticks out to activate her BIM.

Maybe mangaka forget the rule of the game. The confusion is already cleared. The current chapter is about 3 against 1. The one culprit who killed rest of team gets most of bombs. But he is fighting Ryota, he never beat Ryota in the online game. Unless there is accident, thing is getting settled.

[Kirito]

Alright. Chapter 68 has been scanlated and released!

Spoiler for Chapter 68:

Looks like the culprit has started to make a move.

[frivolity]

I think the culprit might be the little girl. She has her bim with her, and only she and her follower know about the patrol routes, as well as Sakamoto being trapped in his room. It would also explain why the old woman was the first victim, since she's the only one who is weak enough to be overpowered by the little girl.

Oh come on. Don't blame the little girl. Shame on you.

[Farplaner]

The culprit is....

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

The camera guy. He faked his own death.

[Preciize]

Are the scanlations relatively caught up with the raws or are they fairly behind?

[Forbin]

So we went from 'Find the secret to take this island down' to 'oh look ANOTHER group has been living on this island and has been IGNORING all of you all this time'.

[Farplaner]

Scanlations are about 5 chapters (5 months) behind.

[Kirito]

Alright guys. It's about 4 months since this series got updated. None the less...I'm here with a new update.

Ahem:

I'm happy to announce that chapter 71 of this series has been scanlated and released!

Spoiler for Chapter 71:

- Torio explains his motive for killing and at the fact he nominated himself to be on that island.
- Torio is a Btooom player like Sakamono but loses to him all the time
- Sakomoto is hell bent on stopping Torio even at the cost of morales.

I wonder if this means that the Btooom translation team is back. I hope the new chapter comes along really soon. So for now until next update, until then!

[Kirito]

Okay guys. I'm here to announce that chapter 72 has been scanlated and released!

Spoiler for Chapter 72:

- Torio gets "cursed" by Amakusa moments before he died (During a flashback sequence)
- Sakamoto is leaving it up to Soga to put an end to Torio.
- Torio's plans to kill Sakamoto and his team fail due to careful observation and luck on his end.

There's about 2-3 chapters left of this arc and it'll be the end of volume 14. Hope the translation team will work on this constantly, but for now all we can do now is wait.

[Mach56gs]

Awesome stuff! Wonder what the next arc will be....

[Kirito]

Here are my impressions on volume 15.

Spoiler for Volume 15:

- Ryota and his new team try to get in contact with Himiko and Oda. Ryota currently now has 5 chips in his possession.
- Himiko and Oda team up but are being attacked by Kira and his new team. Despite the overwhelming odds, Oda is proving much too difficult for them.
- The company figures out that Ryota's friend is the one who leaked personal info to Ryota. Ryota's step-father and his journalist brother meet with the former to get information into what's going on.
- The company behind the game are probably changing the rules (I think)

That's what I can speculate. My Japanese reading and translation is still weak, but I'm getting there. That's all I can think of...for now. So what do you think?

[Kirito]

Alright guys. I'm back with a new chapter update.

Chapter 73 of this series has been scanlated and released!

Spoiler for Chapter 73:

- Torio plans to kill Sakamoto still fail due to Sakamoto making use of his smarts and survival skills (Net game wise)
- Torio tries to run but is stopped by Soga who uses a homing bim to track him down.
- Torio gets blasted by the homing bim leaving bloodied and on the verge of death
- Torio's bad story regarding his cruel family and the death of his mother and the camera she left behind.
- Amasuka's curse on Torio is fulfilled and dies a pitiful death
- The bloody night comes to a close and we get a glimpse of Himiko and Oda

And with that folks we just finished volume 14 of the manga. All we have to do is wait for volume 15 chapters to be translated. It'll take awhile but all we can do now is wait.

I've been thinking about reading this manga for awhile now(I hear its a good one) but I'm hesitating because I was looking in the Categories section for this on Baka-Updates and there is a lot of rape tags so I'm not sure if I should read it or not.

Spoiler for Categories:

Abuse, Abuse of Power, Abusive Parent/s, Adapted to Anime, Amnesia, Animals, Attempted Murder, Attempted Rape, Attempted Suicide, Betraya,l Big Breasts, Blood and Gore, Bombs, Character Growth, Conspiracy, Corpses, Criminal/s, Delinquent/s, Deserted Island/s, Divorced Parent/s, Doctor/s, Domestic Violence, Drugs, Dysfunctional Family, Experiment/s, Father and Son, Flashbacks, Game of Death, Game/s, Gamer/s, Gang Rape, Genius, Hated Character/s, Hero/es, Hidden Past, Hunted Protagonist, Hunter/s, Hunting, Injury, Island/s, Kill or Be Killed Situation, Love Develops Online, Mad Science, Moral Dilemma, Murder/s, Necrophilia, NEET, Nurse/s, Older Male Lead, Older Male Younger Female, Online Game, Panchira, Past Plays a Big Role, Phobia/s, Play or Die Situation, Programmer/s, Psychopath/s, Rape, Rape as a Subplot, Rape Victim/s, Realistic Art Style, Realistic Fighting, Rescue, Reunion/s, Sadist/s, Sexual Abuse, Smart Male Lead, Soldier/s, Strategic Battles, Strong Male Lead, Stun Gun/s, Suicide/s, Survival, Survival Game, Teammates relationship, Teamwork, Torture, Trap, Trauma, Trust, Unscrupulous Character/s, Video Game Industry, Video Games, Wild Animal/s, Young Female Lead

(You know it's bad when it has Rape as a Subplot in the categories section.)

I do enjoy series with game elements to it though.

I can handle it if it features a little rape but what I'm trying to avoid is another series like Wolf Guy(TABATA Yoshiaki) for those of you who has read that manga then you already know what I'm talking about.

Spoiler:

Wolf Guy also had Rape as a Subplot in the categories section, which is why my caution for this series has been heightened.
(the only reason I finished that manga was because I wanted the MC to kill the S.O.B's responsible, the problem was that the MA died in such an unsatisfying way.)

I too dislike rape content. But the heroine is still chaste, and the struggles, mind games and how the protagonists having to overcome and survive in the land of human scum and the development and growth they go through really outweighs all the negatives.

[Farplaner]

There's only one chapter where the rape/attempted rape happens (as a backstory of a character). It is pretty explicit.

Wtf is happening in latest raws

Spoiler for 97:

Some pierrot looking guy (pale face, dark lipstic, Joker like hair) forced Himiko to suck Ryota's dick (who is tied and mindbroken) and then he with insanity in his face thrust P*NOS into her VAGOO (fate joke).

wtf indeed...

Spoiler for viper guy:

isn't that "pierrot guy" the lead singer of the band who tricked Himeko and her friends (drugged rape at his appartment) before she was sent to the island?
At the start of Vol.20 he is listed under the same name.
