It's a 99% conviction rate too because they drop any case they think they any chance of losing. A lot of missing persons cases are just re classed as runaways and found murder victims will be tagged as suicide body dumps and marked as cleared. This doesn't even touch the complete unwillingness to try sexual assault cases because why bother when you don't have a confession a jury might give you a loss and then your career as a prosecutor is over.

The time you learn Phoenix Wright isn't really a parody the Japanese justice system works almost exactly like that up to and including defense attorneys and their families getting openly harassed in their daily lives for protecting criminals.

I'm getting sick of waiting for Kodansha to get Shaman King over here to the point where I might actually end up buying the JP release off BookWalker just to have it legit so I don't feel guilty reading scans. To be fair it's probably taking so long because they could be concerned over some of the problematic content and they're trying to figure out how to go about it.

Fumino is a snake and her arc has been spinning it's wheels for ages now.
The only saving grace this boring arc has is her going full yandere and murdering everyone in this timeline.

Are they planning to do a retranslation as well? Because the original english ones were rife with localization changes.

The Viz release wasn't the Kanzenban release so I'd hope they would, but there's been cases of them picking up license rescues and just flat out not bothering to retranslate because of presumably how costly it would be (Initial D for one thing, which is loving annoying because the newer volumes Tokyopop never got to have a proper translation so it goes from their poo poo to a better one)

Again though these are entirely new editions and I'd like to think they have the common sense to just do a new translation entirely, especially since there's a new anime coming and 4Kids isn't around to license it again

If you're waiting for Kodansha to do it then you'll be waiting forever since they don't own the series thus it's not in their control. Gotta look at Shueisha for this one. Wiki says the Viz media license expired so that's probably why.

Kodansha aquired the rights to Shaman King like 3 years ago, they didn't renew international rights with Viz when those rights expired like a year or so ago.

Kodansha currently has the worldwide rights to SK.

It's why SK:Flowers was canceled and SK:The Super Star started up in one of the Shonen Magazine books.

Hadn't heard about that and I was wondering why Super Star was going on, but there was no word on Flowers(granted I don't keep up with SK). Really weird that it's owned by Kodansha now though.

I'm glad Burning Effect is being translated again because it's great.

My favorite part of the recent chapters is sword guy telling Xevolts he's going to hide in the shadows and show up when they need him and the other fight heads going 'drat, that's cool, I should have done that.'

Also, Burner in uniform. :hmmyes:

Hands down the best character in the revolution. It's not even a question. RIP to him because he has plot sickness

I'm also glad that the story seems to be picking up with this new arc because The battle against the gatekeepers was kind of dull despite having amazing moments like above.

I was thinking that maybe people were exaggerating about the new cop manga by Beelzebub guy, but that was actually pretty yikes (particularly the part where they're portrayed as being in the right for confiscating the phone of someone filming them). It's one thing to just have police as protagonists, but that seemed to go out of its way to directly bring up a couple controversial topics and take the police's side in them.

We Never Learn had a transition chapter, and I estimate about 2-3 chapters left in the Fumino arc. It'll be interesting to see if they'll move on to other girls once this arc is done, or if they'll call it a day.

(If they have a Sensei arc, I'm out.)
