Can we have a thread about The Climber? Just finished reading

I agree with your gripes, but the final arc made the whole quick family thing fit in quite well because even when he found his place in society, he still decided to go on what was basically a suicide mission for his dream, climbing to his solitary paradise on k2.

I don't have it on me now but that page where it showed him climbing "naked" in total peace near the fucking top of k2 was really amazing and a fine peak to his character development.

Also, Buntarou had a hard time with everyone, not just bitches and whores. When his old friend took his money and lied to him just like that, I was really upset.

I liked how every couple of chapters it tries to push how if he got over his autism things would improve, only to prove a few chapters later that his autism was completely justified and everyone around him weren't worth opening up to in the first place.

One of the best manga I've ever read.

I think that at the start of the series the creator/s weren't sure what they wanted the manga to be. At the beginning it felt like a typical sport manga, moody hero discovering his passion, introducing rivals etc. But then it did a major turn at some plot points were forever left. But it doesn't mean the story is bad. It just decided to be something else. Most of the action was what was happening to Mori's mind thourough the manga, I'd say. It was psychological journey.

I don't know if you're familiar with the book "Birdy" by William Wharton, but that's what Kokou no Hito reminded me of.

The last chapter made me cry.

All the flash forwards made the story really confusing to read. I honestly can't put together a linear timeline of the post-Northern Alps pre-K2 stuff in my head because there were flash forwards on top of flash forwards. I'm not even sure which was the first time he met Takemura.

Bump again

I dropped it sometime after he had a family, this was when translations were coming out still so I kinda just left it off after a period of no scanlations.

His new manga Innocent and now Innocent Rouge is good.
