Hungry Joker Chapter 16: The Anticlimatic Meeting

Comments:
A decent chapter, I did expect a little bit more to be honest. The character, which we've seen from at the beginning of the series turned out to be Nasyasu, Haijis big brother who erased his memories and separated his Mavro -part of the blood making him effectively human. Nasyasu weirdly enough forgot why he did all this.

That's basically the only thing that happened in this chapter and it was somewhat interesting, however I can't help but to wonder which way the series is going to go now. I think the author could give us some sort of long term aim for the readers to wait for: also the revealing of Haijis big brother at this point felt a bit soon since it was essentially the only mystery that we truly had at this point. I have to admit that Nasyasus power of Space distortion manipulation was a pretty impressive one: I can't imagine our heroes fighting against him in the near future.

Anyways, I hope that Hungry Joker will continue to be as interesting as it has been in terms of character abilities, but what I'm truly hoping for that its art would get a lot more depth: right now the colors used are a bit too "greyish" which leads to the feeling of this manga being a bit plain. It would be awesome if the author managed to make something to truly wait for, otherwise I wouldn't be surprised for this to be axed.

Recap of Hungry Joker Chapter 16: Showing His True Colors

-Haijis big brother walks through black portal near Haiji saying that he's in such a poor condition because of Dodomekis' poison.

-Haijis brother seems to have Space Manipulation power

-He then goes to Dodomekis and allows him to go "back", first sending his stomach which is very painful for Dodomekis. Haijis big brother's name is revealed as Nasyasu.

-Dodomekis then seemingly gets destroyed then and there.

-It is revealed that Nasyasu used Haiji for experiment, he separated the blood that made them brothers and erased his memories. He forgot why he did those things.

-Nasyasu then asks Haiji to join Mavro and that he has now possibility choose between the two (human / mavro)

-Haiji refuses saying that he doesn't know why he's calling him Barscheit. Nasyasu says that their mother was human, so their father must have been Mavro.

-Just before leaving Nasyasu says that Mavro against the reversal form human (which is Haiji) will be Barschheits fun experiment.

-So Haiji is a mixed Mavro, but he is their ally.
