Are you excited about Rikudou Chapter 203? We got you!! The next translation of the manga chapter is all set to release this week. Before revealing the release date and how-to-read guide of the manga, let us first take a look at the introduction and characters of the story.
Rikudou is unpopular and it’s more of a hidden gem. The manga focuses on the character Riku and the wild things that happen and continue to happen in his life. Riku had a rough life filled with crime and tragedy and because of that this manga is very dark and covers themes and topics that you don’t really get touched on a lot in anime and manga today. So, if you like those kinds of things, in a fictional sense of course, then this is right up your alley.
There are a lot of gruesome and graphic things that happen as the story unfolds, I am talking about things like murder, drugs, rape, prostitution, gangs and the list goes on.
In the first chapter, we get to see Riku, punching his father’s hanging corpse, now you might be thinking, what on earth was this, and what’s going on; Well, Riku’s dad own money to the Yakuza but he wasn’t able to pay it off, so he decides to kill himself in the house while his son, Riku, is home.
This is also where we first get to see the former boxer turn Yakuza, Kyousuke Tokozawa. He walks into the house looking for the money that Riku’s dad owes, and sees Riku is punching his dead father, and you know what he does?
If you are thinking of calling the cops, then you are dead wrong. Instead, he punches Riku and then he punches his dad’s dead corpse to show Riku, how to through a proper punch. He also tells Riku that his dead father was a loser.
After this incident Ruku gets sent to live with his mother, so think that things are starting to look up for our main character, Right? Nope, wrong again. It turns out that Riku’s mom is a drug addictive prostitute. She is so addicted to drugs that she goes down on her drug supplier in front of Riku because she is craving them so badly.
This makes Riku starts to yell at his mother to stop, which pisses off her drug supplier and makes it start beating up Riku. During this beating Riku manages to throw a counter punch which ends up killing his mother’s drug supplier. Keep in mind all of this everything that we have just said, happens in the first freaking chapter.
