Given how hard they ran away from any possible hint that the plagiarist plagiarized in Ghost Plagiarist, you might be waiting a bit.

I'm pretty sure Helck 2: Volundio is shounen? Anyway the latest chapter cliffhanger is very mean.

ImpAtom posted:I'm just not very clear on what tone it is going for so far. It's kind of like Kid Friendly Death Note but it's also pretty blunt about invasion of privacy and constantly pushing the MC to do extremely morally questionable things and rewarding him for it. It'd be interesting to see if it is going for "having this level of power is corrupting and dangerous" or "It's totally okay to invade people's privacy because I'm a superhero." I feel like this premise could be interesting; the "power" has some pretty different angles than the Death Note one (though the immediate introduction of "basically L" makes it seem a bit unsubtle with the parallels). Also, when I reread it a few years ago, I realized that literally all of the mind games in Death Note are predicated on Light loving up near the beginning of the series and narrowing the search area down to his general geographic area. IIRC they noticed people were only dying at times consistent with "a student in Japan" causing the killings, or something along those lines; without that one huge mistake, it would have basically been impossible for anything interesting to happen. At least with this premise, you have multiple actors all using a similar power that could potentially be used in interesting ways (though whether this actually happens depends on the strength of the writer).

Never because the author said they are mentally and physically adults. Like yes it is still creepy and loving weird but however the nonsense works it somehow makes them Actual Adults which is why it was an option for superbaby. The series sucks but they did theor handwave for it so it is up to the reader to decide if they buy it or not.

Nagi does not seem as competent, and is just a cop rather then a freelance Detective. L took a guess in Death Note and Light screwed it up. He figured a student in Japan by the timing of the deaths, then did the Lind L Taylor thing intending to air it region by region starting with the most populated one. Even he was surprised that he got it on the first guess, and that Light was petty enough to murder a guy cause they called him out.

So many manga, so little time. Super Smartphone: This is the weirdest retread of Death Note. Except instead of Death it's Privacy. This new cop they introduced is even literally L. Still, it seems pretty promising. Witch Watch: This development seems interesting, but to be honest my trust in the mangaka is kinda gone. He's been spinning his wheels basically ever since they beat the first Warlock. Unless you consider expanding the group to be progress. My expectation she cancels the spell only to find out he really is that honed in his craft. Though maybe he will give Nico an affectionate pat on the head at the end. And we'll all go d'aww  Shugomaru: sigh, yeah I think I'm done with this. Roboco: Actually kinda funny.

lmao Earth Child is so loving bad. I love that it's established that Kareri's parents were so proud of her for sacrificing herself to save the earth... But then chose to erase their memories of her doing that?? But still leave the memories of her being dead?? This really is written like a webcomic, where the author just wanted to have some drama with visiting the parents so they just made up some contrivance for the protag to not be able to explain what's going on with zero planning or forethought.

I'm a bit surprised by all the people complaining about Witch Watch not going forward further with the main plot, because I alwyas got the impression that the main plot itself would be a sometimes food and that this was going to be very firmly a slice of life/gag manga. And I'm fine with it, it really does feel like a cozy, relaxing weekly appointment.

Yeah, I don't really care about any kind of ongoing plot for Witch Watch. I enjoy the art and the characters so having it be kind of a chill relax zone where a bunch of goofy people get up to shenanigans is fine with me.

This is literally Sket Dance stuff The Author tosses in some short serious dramatic arcs about one of the main cast building on their story like 2-3 times a year. They then use that new status quo/info for some comedy for a while before doing it again. Like some of the backstories in Sket Dance are turbo hosed. Seriously if you like Witch Watch go find time to binge Sket Dance it's fun.

when sket dance went hard on the slapstick, it was one of the funniest things i've ever read. that was relatively infrequent, though. the rest of the manga was relatively light drama and comedy.

MonsterEnvy posted:Nagi does not seem as competent, and is just a cop rather then a freelance Detective. Oh yeah, I forgot about the dumb murder he did; that was probably significantly more stupid than anything else (the other dumb things were more "things you could reasonably overlook" - though still kind of hard to believe that someone as supposedly smart as Light would make those mistakes). Basically going completely undetected is entirely possible with Light's "powers" (and not even that hard), but the whole "war of minds" thing is only possible in the first place due to necessary big mistakes.

Pierson posted:I vaguely remember they got punished retroactively or something in a 'crime doesn't pay' moral ending way which everyone thought sucked because the dude successfully gamed the system and should have won. Honestly I thought the ending sucked because Mamoru’s MO was at least partly to not just sell the Death Note, but to sell it publicly in such an outlandish way specifically because he realizes that Ryuk might just find another guy that might get a God complex, and a byproduct of selling it to someone as high up as the United States President is that people know what’s up if people mysteriously start dying, like Near mentions. That said, it’s probably supposed to suck and feel bad so I can’t be too salty, but i feel like him only getting like .001 or whatever percent of the money should have been a legitimate loophole

A lot of dumb and fun magic hijinks, which then all came back in the fight with Wolf and the Warlock.

We're finally caught up with Ragna Crimson Looks like the war with the bloodline of wings is finally over. Dragon-girl could shoot during the frozen time because the Sun Cult clones gave everyone 3 minutes of immunity to Za Warudo before the battle started and I'm glad we don't have to re-do everything even if it means we lost a lot of good men along the way. Also glad to see Artemesia eat poo poo in the end just when she started to have real hope.

New Super Smartphone chapter is good. It introduces conflicts more immediate than finding out what happened to the brother, sets up several potential directions the series can go in the future, and addresses some logical issues that many other series wouldn't have bothered to address, while still having interesting things happening in its own right (I liked the everyday stuff with the classmates). There's still ways the series can derail itself, but so far it seems promising.

Also, it's sort of funny that PPPPPP actually briefly mentioned technical aspects of piano playing for once in the most recent chapter. Normally the series seems to be about people who can magically use a piano to project illusions rather than actual piano-playing.

I mean it was still one word bubble acknowledging pedaling exists to like ten pages of constucting an entire fairy orchestra out of unicorn farts and tachyon particles on stage so I'd say it's still pretty on brand.

The problem with music in manga is that they have to somehow communicate how totally awesome it is without any sound. I guess it's a similar principle to the food manga where they have to use crazy imagery to communicate how mindblowing the food was.
