death note was so far over the top that there is a lot of room in the death note lite category. certainly nothing wrong with that.

The Black Stones posted:Yeah. I thought this has been the best chapter so far. Really set the protagonist up to feel pretty smart with a great antagonist to play off of. It definitely feels like Death Note lite, but it’s not a bad thing. Agreed. We seem to have our three primary characters right now in Q, Zenichiro, and Nagi. I did not expect Zenichiro to just expose himself like that, and for him to also have two Owner Subordinates.

Akane-banashi: Great setup chapter for the finals. It's interesting to see how different characters approach Akane's use of Jugemu for her chosen act; the freeform-using prodigy looks down on her for using a traditional and rigid act, the VA who's built Akane to be an unstoppable threat in her mind thinks Akane's flaunting (perhaps not the right word) her innate advantages, the teacher who's new to the whole rakugo thing is just impressed by Akane's skill without understanding how beginner-level the Jugemu act is, and the pretty boy recognizes that her starting act is setting up for her act in the finals. Also, the big man is finally here! Really excited to see the next few chapters! Aliens Area: Whacky teammates and compulsory newbie hazing, standard shounen fare. Also if they wanted to recruit the kid why didn't they lead with "Join us and we'll make sure you can provide for your siblings." Elusive Samurai: Poor dude is so overshadowed that the author even fuckin' brings in his historical advisors to jam the knife in even deeper. Also wow, the Kokushi really is a visionary, dude's fuckin' inventing stuff from centuries in the future. Mashle: Wow the jobber squad jobbed instantly without being able to do anything to their opponents. Who could have seen that coming. And now our MCs are gonna, uh, beat these unstoppable opponents in their first year of school. I thought I was reading Mashle, not My Hero Academia. (I am not reading My Hero Academia.) Roboco: Standard chapter, it's okay. Ruri Dragon: Still good! Very chill, it's funny how everyone's just fuckin' accepting the whole dragon thing and how the grandma knew about Ruri's dragon ancestry. Sakamoto Days: Shin pretty much explains how I feel in that I'm really excited for this assassin school stuff! I guess since Shin pretty much spent most of his life in a lab, he never really had a normal school experience! Though then again, not like the JCC is a normal school. But still. Also a dude from the past is here!

Earthchild's chapter is even more garbage and poorly-thought out than usual. - Albert, who's supposed to have lost most of his power as an Earthchild, is somehow managing to keep himself and the main guy flying just slightly slower than Kareri's orbital speed. Even with this taking place in zero-G, that sounds improbable considering we saw Albert could barely push one person that's near to him. - In the hands of a more competent writer, it might make a point about how Albert is being near-suicidal in his desire to help the family. That he's too traumatized by his past that he's pushing the main guy to break the Earthchild curse even if it kills both of them. But no, he's being presented as someone heroic. - Maybe I missed it being mentioned in an earlier chapter, but I guess Kareri's power recharges if she gets in close physical proximity to her husband now? I get that this is trying to go for the standard power of love shonen thing, but even this feels like a complete asspull. -  that the author's "victory condition" for this scenario is to have Kareri enter the atmosphere at reentry speed, while the two doofuses use parachutes. Surely Kareri won't shatter to pieces when she crash-lands, or the other two will burn to a crisp.- Shouldn't Albert's head have a hole now from getting grazed by space dust? They mentioned before that the meteor shower's speed was 250,000 km/hour. Not to mention that a few pages later, we see the main guy's hand have a hole blasted on his hand by a stray pebble from the meteor shower. - The main thing that bugs me about this chapter is how the main focus on what saves Kareri is how she and her hubby love each other. You would think that since this manga has been about saving the mom so they can be a complete family again, that the thing that would inspire Kareri is a future where she's there to raise her kid, but no, Mamoru's a complete afterthought. Kareri's big moment that makes her move has her go, "I wanna go on a date with my husband -> I wanna take our baby outside -> I wanna hold hands with my guy!" It's a huge mess.

amigolupus posted:Earthchild's chapter is even more garbage and poorly-thought out than usual. Albert is basically a walking plot device, his power is always exactly as strong as it needs to be. Still, I can't help but laugh the way they keep strapping people to Earth Childeren to make them fly around. Can you even use a parachute to drop down to Earth from space? I will say one thing though, at this point I only expect everyone to survive because the author is a hack. But I just can't be certain that's what's going to happen. It's such a chaotic mess. I don't think Katagiri actually said she was getting her power back, but more how he keeps talking about how the actual power is the family?  And that probably translates to that somehow? But then, what does he know anyway.And then he took off his helmet in space.  This is the best trainwreck. Ruridragon: Honestly feels like we could've done another chapter on her fire breathing "training"? It felt flat how it was basically "oh, you sneezed and this time fire came out. Done. You have full control now." But hey, Grandma's are filled with the wisdom of the ages Sakamoto: This chapter was great. Invisible guy, Shin reading manga to learn about school life, everyone leering at Sakamoto's wife. The legendary sharpshooter guy with a bird. I guess the worst thing is, there's not much to talk about because it's so perfectly entertaining.Undead: That's cool. You know, what kind of power would unbelieveable be? I wonder what the trick to moving was. I assume he just ripped off his skin again. Mashle: Well, at least we didn't waste chapters upon chapters on guys who were going out in seconds. And we got some really cool artwork out of it. And the last joke of the monster made me laugh. Also, Adam Jobs. Super Smartphone: Death note lite indeed and that's praise. Witch Watch: I love these chapters so much Like the hairy cloak and the student president monster arm. Doron: Ooh! Stakes! Jose posted:Anyone else fill in the mangaplus survey?

So a new series launched called Make the Exorcist Fall in Love and whoo boy is the first chapter something. Gore warning because we go from 0 to  real fast.  Guess SJ is trying to promote romance in very weird ways. But at least the entirely predictable plot twist of Lilith being the current tempress isn't hidden for long.

Yeah the 1st chapter goes a bit too hard on the edginess. Thankfully it gets much better as it goes. It's unofficially translated up to Ch 18 by the way, the official translation will probably take a few months to catch up. I assume we'll follow the same rules as other scanlated series that are picked up and clearly mark and spoiler unreleased chapter talk.

The series definitely caught my interest with the first two chapters, but I'm not entirely sure if the initial impression is more positive or negative.  Still, I kinda want to see where it is going, so I'm tentatively on board for now.

It absolutely goes in really hard but I feel that it's there to illustrate a) Demons are loving dangerous and b) Despite that and the fact that they don't explode into cuthuluoids, the church isn't much better. That said "Leviticus 26:29" worked pretty drat well at what it was trying to achieve without being visualy disgusting. ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Jun 22, 2022 |

Earthchild - this might be the first chapter I actually liked, so hopefully we're done with this series after next week. Witch Watch - I like the teacher/student chapters, but they feel so disconnected from the rest of the series that it might as well be its own manga. Sakamoto Days - I feel Sakamoto has shown more emotion disguised as his wife than he has the entire series. Ruridragon - continues to be cute. Aliens Area - continues to be boring

Bio Organic Weapon Ruri: I think this will fill the Magu chan hole in my heart nicely. Mashle: Still pretty funny, but I think I'm ready to move on from Namek now. But I assume it's now time for Mash's friends to step in first? Earth Child: An actual spoiler for once so if you still want to try this trainwreck, don't read it. I didn't expect dad to croak. If he doesn't get back up next one I'll be very impressed.  Also, this made me laugh. Katagiri can't believe he's lost his best friend? I guess? I'm also not a fan of the panel composition here, but part of that may be fed from the underbaked characters. IT feels like Katagiri's comments could've come from Kareri and those word clouds could've come from Katagiri was well. Also remember the dangerous dust storm that took out Albert and was going to destroy the space station? If yes, you have a better memory than the author. These people are all so selfish. Kareri is literally, I want to come back to Reisuke can praise me more. Sakamoto: I love the choreo in this series. Invisible dude was cool. The way lunch works is ridiculous and I love it. Undead Unluck: Doron: Characters are this series strong suit as we're just introduced to a bunch of weirdos most of which I immediately like. I'm also enjoying the dynamic between Dora and Kusanagi. Dora was immediately worried about losing Kusanagi, but Kusanagi has his eyes on his promise instead. Super Smartphone: Is wasting no time. I also can't stop laughing at how tiny those super phones are. How the heck do they even type on those things. Witch Watch, we'd better get a new Uron Mirage out of this.

Loving the Earthchild artist's dedication to drawing space wife's fat rear end whenever possible. At least when it happened in Dr. Stone there was interesting writing around it to distract me. Agreed on the Roboco shirts, those were great. I hope the exclusive Shonen Jump merchandise store is paying attention!!!!!
