I need to find a shorter title for these side mangas.
Summary Time: Chapter 2. Ok, this manga don't have titles for its chapters.
Literally from where it left off last chapter. Prisoners state that they can't run away because they will be food for the dinosaur if they did. It belongs to Zanzul the male Karin, who comes in and tells them to get back to work. Then as they are working Sasuke's cellmate Jiji comes up and starts talking with him. Ah god damnit. So as they are chatting Jiji explains they are building a telescope/observatory, its freezing, but its work or get eaten. Jiji gets a blister which he is happy about because they got a new nurse a hot sweet heart who is single...Is everyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Incase you think I'm just overreacting or something like that the image while this guy talks look very similar to Sakura with maybe a few differences that might just be down to artwork. Oh in this land they have rings to show you are married which is why the prisoners assume she is unmarried. Sasuke thinks of a ring for some reason...oh damnit, is that going to be foreshadowing to some tinder moment where he give Sakura a ring. He also points out the guards are nervous around Sasuke since he was able to hold his own against a group of prisoners on his first day.
Back to the cell, his cellmates are playing dice. One old guy is painting his toenails...ok. Sasuke decides to play dice with them for a favor and uses an earth jutsu to fake a gem. He uses jutsu to win and he asks them to cover for him while he checks out the area. He goes off to fight the raptor. It is immune to genjutsu. He at least cuts off one of its hands if not kills it.
The next day he spots Meno alive and well with both hands. Zanzul comes up to him an questions if he was the one that harm him. Sasuke again tries genjutsu but it doesn't work as Zanzul has glass eyes. He decides to let Sasuke go but tells him, he will be watched.
Kind of hoping to hear the stupid excuse of why Sakura is already there but I'm guessing I'm going to have to wait so they can try to build it up.
As far as the chapter. Lot less contrivances besides Sakura already being there. It would make sense for his cellmates to try to form some camaraderie with him, and he was somewhat clever with his sneaking around by waiting a while before exploring. They also have a few mysteries to keep the reader interested.
The first chapter still damages it so I give the manga a 4/10 so far.
