What to expect from Gokurakugai chapter 7

Chapter 7 of Gokurakugai will see Alma and Tao begin investigating the cannibalistic individual killing humans, especially adult males. Although the mysterious suspect is presumed to be a human and Maga crossbreed, it is strange for Alma, Tao, and Tatsuomi that the individual is not devouring their targets but instead gnawing chunks from their body and leaving them to bleed out.

For Alma, it would be shocking to learn that Kanata was the rumored cannibal behind the sudden uproar. Given how Alma shows no mercy to the Maga kind, regardless of their needs, it is hard to anticipate his reaction.

Moreover, the upcoming chapter will also possibly see Alma figuring out a way to use Kai, his ultimate weapon, in Tao’s absence.


A brief recap of Gokurakugai chapter 6

Tatsuomi gave a new tip to Alma and Tao on a recent crime involving a cannibal wreaking havoc in the city. After sharing pictures of all the victims, he revealed that they were all criminals charged with assault, harassment, and robbery.

Tatsuomi continued by explaining that the culprit gnawed through each victim's palms and chewed chunks from their body, leaving them to die with massive blood loss.

Later that night, Alma ran into a strange girl named Kanata in a black hood who seemed distressed to him. Being a kindhearted person, he took her to a restaurant and fed her a buffet of meals. It was hard for Kanata to swallow the food for some unexplained reason. She ate the food anyway, not disrespecting Alma’s kindness.

Alma and Kanata started hanging out every night at the same place three nights in a row. On their third day, the former walked the latter to her street and returned home.

Kanata threw up everything she had eaten in a public restroom that day. All of a sudden, a strange man started harassing Kanata, so to defend herself, she gnawed through his palm and escaped. After his friends arrived to help him, the man described the girl as a monster.
