The stories of prisoners trying to escape from prison or their life in prison seem to be a recurring theme today, with both anime and manga as well as Western series having the theme of prison and prisoners as protagonists of the stories. stories. Anime and manga are not far behind with these themes and the manga we are going to talk about now is one of many stories that talk about prison.
Nanbaka begins with the story of four men who are sent to Nanba, the most formidable prison in the world. The four of them try to escape from prison a couple of times, causing their stay there to increase without managing to escape from it. The story is a comedy that tells the daily life of the prisoners of this extravagant prison in the middle of the sea and the guards who must do everything possible to monitor the prisoners and prevent them from doing their thing, which will lead to situations of the most comical to the most dramatic. If you think that this manga is just a comedy, you will be surprised that it has quite dramatic moments and even epic fights that will take you by surprise if you are not prepared. The background of the prison is not that of a normal prison since the characters develop certain special abilities that will cause the situation to become more dangerous for both the guards and the prisoners themselves.
The format of Nanbaka is that of a web manga, since it is published only by the official Comico.jp page , a site that hosts other web manga with different plots. It is completely in color and each chapter is a few pages long. There is also an official version in English currently published on Crunchyroll, with 138 chapters in Japanese and three volumes in English ranging from the first chapter to 25. The web comic is still in circulation on the official site. Who is the creator of this story? It’s Sho Futamata , who will also direct the anime that premiered this season.
The main protagonists of the story are Jyugo , a young man who failed to escape from prison and thus increased his sentence, Uno , a womanizer and gambler, Rock, a troublemaker and finally Nico , an anime fan. Each one has their reasons for being sent to prison and the main guard who will be in charge of ensuring that these four behave will be Segoroku Hajime, a man with little patience and whom the four prisoners manage to get out of their temper all the time. They will also have to deal with the head of the prison and an endless number of characters who will be introduced throughout the story to further complicate the absurd situation of the prison and will contribute to the plot of the story, which is not what it seems. naked eye.
The web comic has an anime season that premiered in Fall 2016. Currently, its first episode can be viewed legally on Crunchyroll with both Spanish and English subtitles. If you still haven’t decided what to watch this season, I recommend both reading the manga and watching the anime, which we hope will be entertaining and interesting.
