Hungry Joker 12: Two bites from the apple

Comments

Once again, nothing especially interesting in this chapter. I'm still waiting for those awesome plot twists that should raise Hungry Joker in my rankings from bad to readable. Baa-chan being dead is something unexpected, but nothing that would make me feel enthusiastic towards the next chapter.

Also what stood out in this chapter was Viviane: in a seriously poor way. I think that she's an extremely poorly designed character that isn't at this moment suitable for a long story. Her power is as generic as it gets and her personality is kind of that I'm especially not fond of. 

I think that if this keeps going Hungry Joker may easily get axed (cancelled) in the near future. Though I'm not exactly sure how people are liking it, but as far as I know it's ranking in shonen jump polls has been more on the lower side.

Recap of Hungry Joker 12: Exploration in the fog

 Viviane is feeling confused with Haiji praising her abilities.

Meanwhile the fod minotaurs are going back how they were after being sliced up.

Haiji decides to pick up everyone with his gravity power and fly away, but the labyrinth changes constantly, hence separating them into 2 group: Haiji and Nils / Viviane and Toriiooji.

Toriiooji checks her Eureka locator that was given by the white joker and sees that the Eureka isn't far away.

Meanwhile Haiji and Nils are lost and trying to figure out what to do, going upwards doesn't work. Nils is being an emo.

Haiji decides to do an experiment with his apple: he takes two bites of his apple granting him even greater power. He destroys a huge part of labyrinth with only one move. Haiji however suffers some backlash from two bites and coughs some blood.

Haiji's group and Viviane's group finally meet in front of a house, in which the Eureka resides. They heard a whistle coming out of the house before.

Inside the house they found Baa-chan, dead.
