So apparently Shonen Jump English/Viz isn’t putting out chapter 94 of Ayakashi Triangle but will be putting out 95. Anyone know what happened that Viz elected to go “gently caress this?”

Manga Plus is also skipping the chapter so something is going on.

Ayashimon: drat these Enmas loving came to wreck poo poo up. Wonder if our boy is gonna be dealt his first L.

Elusive Samurai: I'm glad for the twist that the adults actually know the kid is a huge brat but can't really bring themselves to reprimand him because they know they're responsible for the way he is (foisting all the responsibility on him). Also fun to see Toshiyuki being the chaser and not the chased for this game, so it looks like a fun arc! Also I didn't realize he'd been there for 2 years now, if I'm reading that correctly? drat, the time passage is insane????

Mashle: It sort of gets tiring how the manga seems to be constantly showing you a piece of poo poo villain and then going "But actually he's got his reasons" right before their defeat. Actually it's probably like 2 or 3 times at most but it sure feels like it pops up way more than it should!!!!

Roboco: I haven't read the new chapter yet.

Sakamoto: Hell yeah Sakamoto (the manga) rules. Sakamoto (the store owner) also rules, too.

Apparently Apple was a big reason, although I haven't checked recently is Manga Plus actually on the Apple or Google stores?

Looking around the internet and I see people saying that Viz should surrender the license if they can't handle the heat but lol Viz is owned by Shuiesha my dudes.

You say that but thats more or less how To Love Ru and Yuna got published. Albeit well after the fact, with a cut going to seven seas, and with them both having been pirated to hell and back.

That, I assume, was the onus on them simul-publishing Ayakashi on their own dime in the first place.

Manga plus has an apple sku but it (and the jump app itself) simply omits the works that shuesha don't want to publish

We also know that things can be dropped from the app and left on the site if Apple is the issue, like the chapter of Chainsaw Man with the lesbian orgy. This one seems to have been an internal decision.

ConanThe3rd
Mar 27, 2009
Yeah, the apps allow for omission on a per series, chapter and OS basis (HiDive does it too. For example No Game, No Life isn't available on apple devices) but this seems to be on a higher level as it was skipped entirely.

I looked up the Ayakashi chapter and....it's not nearly as bad as I was expecting really. Considering what had come before it. I expected the kid to be naked and having something quite more suggestive. Why are you even publishing this?!



Anyway.

I was mostly just confused. I thought he was the magical guy who created explosions when he cried. I had to look it up, but apparently that was the other guy who disappeared offstage after the billiards shot.

You know when the iron sands remark came I was ready for another Naruto riff.

Sakamoto: Hells yeah. Old guy is awesome. I wonder if this means we're getting a training arc for Sakamoto. This doesn't feel like a manga that should get one though.

Doron: Pretty average chapter. This probably should've been the chapter from last time for pacing.

Ayashimon: Prepare for his special attack! Punch extra hard.

Roboco: Ummm, are we getting an actual arc again?

Elusive: I didn't like this chapter much, but that's because I don't like the boy or Yorishige. BUT! I do love the way the art was used for the different scenes.

Witch Watch: A new friend and he seems like fun.

Magu chan: Another new god?

in retrospect that wouldn’t be that crazy since he just constantly mumbles, huh? Idk, that would be pretty great for the inevitable meeting of his daughter-in-law/granddaughter, especially if he just goes around doing insane poo poo with the flat of his blade after being converted to a not-murderer.

It's possible, but would be a bit weird. Sakamoto referred to him with his name. On the other hand, he did come along to save the Japan Eifel tower for no real reason.

I read the last few chapters of Doron Dororon, and I like that they're doing something very different with the female co-lead than in most other similar manga (and there are certainly a lot of manga with uncannily similar premises). Usually a character like that would be someone who is reluctantly forced to work with the protagonist by some higher-up or higher-ups who are interested in the protagonist in some capacity.

Posting here because I didn't see a thread for it, but I started watching Tokyo revengers. I'm working through episode 4 and wondered what opinions on the show were? I'm really down with the premise but so far I'm kind of picking apart the time travel shenanigans (or at least hoping it all gets explained further on) and feeling half invested in the characters.

Some of the side characters and their struggles are cool, but the main character sucks rear end after episode 1. It's also, while serviceable, not particularly interesting animation wise, and the manga visually looks better too. I gave it a 5/10, not really interested in watching more though.

the anime seems like an incredibly bad way to experience it imo. lots of sloppy censorship due to the manji symbol and there's just a sort of texture to Wakui's art that nothing i've seen of the anime captures.

i read like 12 volumes of it before the anime happened and enjoyed it, between the ensemble cast plots and mystery of the Butterfly Effect-y time travel stuff. most criticisms for both versions seem to focus on the MC's immaturity and stagnation, which i think are apt even though i found plenty to enjoy in the rest of the series that it didn't bother me much.

I was hiding under your bench because I don't want to work out
I am surprised that SJ refused to publish chapter 74 of Ayakashi Triangle. They kept the chapters where Matsuri's mother turned up and to be honest those made me feel physically sick and I only picked it back up when I'd forgotten why I stopped reading it. To be clear I wish the series had foregone both, but the choice seems inconsistent to me.

The series has one of my favourite tropes - something huge and powerful turned into an adorable sidekick, much like in Dandadan - with the added bonus of the flabby cat taking it upon him self to tamper down teenage hormones.

The series has a lot of good stuff that would let it succeed, and wouldnt need to get rid of all the horny stuff. Parts of it make me reminisce on being a dweeb teenager frazzled by other girls' boobs and I laugh, but then theres a chapter where a mother shoves their hand in their childs underwear and it's... ugh.

I want more tiny cat crying because he is a former pseudo-deity now reduced to exhausting himself manipulating a planchette to embarass some annoying teenagers, less horny naked moms making their children soap them up.

The times in Dandadan I had a viscerally unpleasant response were purely action related, and not because I felt like the manga was going "this good for you too?".

Edit: thank you for reporting the monster house building manga. The art style is fantastic, theres such an amazing sense of depth and perspective to every panel. The bit pieces manage to be detailed without being busy, the action is dynamic without getting confusing. I really want a little model of the lead dwarf eyeing up his work.
