Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Just ignore the previous content.

I want more shark, which I'm sure we will get at some point, but some devil's are not that smart, so there isn't much to discuss about them, other than the person that they used to be.

They either have severe writers block or are just wanting to do different stuff which sucks for us but is fair.

There's 4-8 chapters already released in Korea; it seems alright so far.

Or she is the love devil (I could see people being afraid of love) and is just best buddies with the gravity/falling devil.

You’d think so but Chainsawman likes to defy expectations so maybe she’ll just reject Denji when she realizes how weird he is/that he’s part devil.

Yeah I can't see Makima wanting to lose sway over Denji. I also think that seeing Beam crawling out of a wall could also be a turn-off.

The author is writing a significant portion before they start putting out content. They've been working on it already for several months. We might see something next year?

Jujutsu got a New chapter and it's just the most roundabout way to give someone a similar motivation to Hao Asakura. And I'm disappointed in Yuki. She trained best brother but then proceeds to give really bad guidance to Getou.

I loved the Breaker but I don't like reading comics that are so very vertical. I don't know what it is about it, it's just uncomfortable. Probably too much exposure to manga and Western comics. If it's them and it gets good responses then maybe I'll try to push past it.

Yeah, he’s got the track history already.

Reze has a really similar hairstyle to that Fire Punch character and it’s never explicitly stated she’s a girl, only Denji think that. The cafe is also called Crossroads which could mean a lot of things I guess.

I don’t see the mangaka pulling a harem

Chainsaw Man retroactively justifies my opinion that Fire Punch was actually more "good interesting" than "bad interesting" even though a lot of specific things didn't work well.

I didn’t realise they were by the same guy I just thought similar weird fun concept. Glad Chainsaw Man is More focussed on having a fun time than the gross hardcore apocalyptic rape stuff that I didn’t expect going into Fire Punch. The Gun Demon is a cool idea as well as tracking down the parts from lesser demons.

Denji learning that new girl is actually new guy will have one panel of 'guess I like guys too' and two chapters of 'can I have a boyfriend and Makima is my one true girlfriend?'

Also Denji is terrible at judging names. Power and Beam are wonderful names.

Nanatsu no Taizai: Escanor Gaiden

I'm very happy that we got this. It does provide some extra insight into Escanor that I wanted and it's sweet. Taken by itself it's everything that I originally liked about Nanatsu no Taizai.
It's unfortunately completely incompatible with everything else unless Gowther rewrote everyone's memory at some point. :shrug:

Some points:

We saw a flashback of Merlin and Meliodas recruiting Escanor which didn't look anything like this.
Meliodas went Assault mode with no problem and transformed back with no problem.
Neither seemed to recognize the others mode during the later slugfest.
While it could be a problem with the translation, Escanors talk during the One's debute implied that that was the first time they went all out against eachother.
Somehow Meliodas one punched the One Escanor. The best excuse you can give for this is that Escanor was a lot younger back then. But even then, how? This is Meliodas pre getting his powers back from the druids.

Ban got pasted again. I missed that. :unsmith:

:psyduck:

But at least it was sweet and I really can't wait for the Ultimate One next chapter. There's no way it's not going to be gloriously stupid.

i read through Beastars up to the end of the school killer arc last night, though i did skim a bunch of chapters. pretty good stuff

the love-triangle material was ehhhh, but Kemonozume was one of my favorite shows years back so i liked how it tied the visceral horror of its characters' eating habits into their inter-personal feelings (without making it seem too much like the author's kink, at least for the most part). there were some arcs i cared about less than others - the romantic trysts did little for me and louis' little extra-curricular career was sometimes hard to swallow even in a comic where the destitute sell off their bodies one finger at a time - but pretty much everything with legosi himself was the tops

mostly i liked how no one can deal with how loving awkward legosi is, especially in the early chapters. the boy has negative charisma. he's so fidgety and weird that he occasionally loops back into suaveness by accident. it's difficult to tell how many of his suicidally poor decisions are due to the setting mixing predatory/prey dynamics into shounen hot-bloodedness and standard machismo attitudes, and how much is due to legosi himself being thicker than a yard of lard

This chapter really is a mess for continuity and we still don't know why or how Escanor came into possession of Mael's power. At best I think it does make sense for Meliodas to have his assault mode at this time since it shouldn't have been sealed until around the time the group got framed. But it's still supposed to be an uncontrollable state for him. And yeah it was established early on that Escanor either runs off before noon hits or he has to be put under by Merlin + Gowther due to it's nature. I don't think it makes sense for Cap and Escanor to have fought and then conveniently forgotten that fight when round 2 happens in the present.

poo poo like this is why I fell off with this series.

he checks off a lot of the same traits:

- stoic but embarrassingly earnest whenever he talks
- suicidally gallant
- prone to bursts of righteous violence that land him in huge trouble
- Has Never hosed (he's a 17-year old who literally doesn't know what it feels like to have a crush)

he's way less self-assured than kiryu (because he's a shy theatre kid instead of someone who was born hardboiled), but one still gets the impression that he would spend all his spare time staring pensively into the middle distance with a glass of scotch at his elbow and a cigarette between his fingers if he wasn't underage

and legosi is absolutely the sort of twerp who thinks underage drinking is Wrong

I started reading this yesterday and I'm at the part where Legosi is apparently trying to become the wolf Jesus or something. Won't be surprised if the series ends with Legosi dying for the sins of carnivores.

Mangastream translation
It translates a few things slightly different. Like Merlin seems to reference meeting Escanor before with Meliodas, which may refer to the flashback we saw earlier?
But meh, it's a sweet story even if it doesn't really fit.

Oh that's right. I forgot that it was at the ambush that Meliodas' power was sealed. For some reason I thought it was at the destruction of Danafor.
I never felt like I needed an explanation for getting the grace. Mael lost it when he became Estarossa and then it floated around for a bit before accidentally ending up in Escanor is a fine explanation for me. :shrug:

A while ago Radiant, a french made series getting published in Japan, got it's 2nd anime season announced. I can't vouch for quality of the show but the manga is definitely one to follow. Volume 12 got translated a few weeks ago, it's worth reading if you haven't picked it up already. I'm looking forward to the Herculean king who just wants to stay hip with the kids.
