Super Smartphone: They'd better translate that ending!  So much for me thinking the author was going to stick the landing. This was, imo, the first really good Manga I was reading that was cancelled.Mashle: I mean the artwork is fantastic, but where's Mash. At this rate, it's going to take another 5 weeks to get him to show up since we apparently need 2 weeks for the Aimes brothers. Then probably 2 weeks for !Gaara. Then Mash has to get over there. I'm technically okay with this, except that no one cares about these guys. Elusive: He was much more honorable than I expected Undead:  I'm not a big Undead Unluck fan, but these chapters remind me why I read this.Sakamoto: I see he got his thin on. Should be interesting what's going to happen now, considering it was turned off earlier. Still, I love that Sakamoto just had the camera dude destroy his own camera

So we all know the joke for Mashle is going to be the wind up key doesn't work, but putting a cream puff in front of his face is going to get him to immediately wake up, Popeye style?

Akane-banashi: Digging rakugo politics at play, completely with the archtypical "newbie crusher" dude. Of course, Akane doesn't really care about some newbie crusher dude and just uses the guy's petty digging to listen to master rakugokas do their thing instead. Also the top zenza dude turns out to be a bro, it's the loving haircut, nobody with that 'do ends up being an actual jerk. I guess the plan now is to have Akane put on an opener so strong that the dude's performance is diminished in comparison? Go get 'em, Akane! Elusive Samurai: My boy Kojiro getting his Huge W. Attaboy. G&G: Lore! Also mini Ginka blushing is cute. Looks like we also go the name of the overarching main villain of the story. Can't wait to see these actually strong mages and see how hosed up they are. Mashle: Eh. Not even a meh. Roboco and Me: Didn't know the R&M mangaka had another series on Manga+, that's something new I learned today. Also the We Never Learn being on + confused me, cause wasn't it on SJ proper? Did it get moved to Manga+ for the multiple ending arcs or was it always in Manga+ and I was just mistaken about it being on SJ? Sakamoto Days: drat I love the fight choreography. Also the filmmaker dude is a fun villain you love to hate. He's a prick but he's very dedicated to his concept and I can respect that. I love him losing his motivation to fight after his camera gets broken and then getting all excited when he remembers that you can use phones to film because technology has progressed. The dude alternates between scary (willing to take Akari's arm because a one-armed protagonist sounds interesting) to comedic (instantly losing strength when his camera is broken) and it's neat.

Mashle: I know Mashle's supposed to be a parody of Harry Potter but it didn't also need to copy Book 7 where most of the book was spent with nothing important happening and just waiting for the plot to get here. Ginka & Glüna: Dropping this. The way it just speeds through building up an emotional plot beat and its resolution within the same chapter makes it really hard to care about the characters or anything that's going on. Witch Watch: The student-teacher duo chapters of making their own fan-manga are good but it always feels so detached from the rest of the series. Kind of seems like the author wanted to make a manga about making manga but doesn't have enough material for an entire series so they're just inserting it here. PPPPPP: Remains oddly compelling with its sibling drama. Having Fanta's playing style be copied and losing with it on purpose in order to throw off Fanta himself is a devious plan that the old Lucky wouldn't have been able to come up with. Would this be enough to close the gap between their abilities? Monster #8: 72 chapters in and it feels like there's way too much that happened and not enough at the same time, if that makes any sense. Timeline-wise, Kafka has only recently joined the defense force. But then the series kept escalating its threat level by having Isao get assimilated, to new high-category monsters appearing, to everyone unlocking the super-secret number weapons, to a nationwide and coordinated attack by the monsters. It's like if Naruto just finished the Chuunin Exam and then got immediately thrown to fighting Pain and Madara-levels of threat. The Game Devil: Haven't seen anyone bring this up. I found it funny how the main character is like a carbon copy of the protag from Ghost Plagiarist, right down to being someone struggling to make it in the manga industry but can't come up with a compelling hook worth a drat. There was an interesting angle there about how the MC was the one to originally come up with the idea for the Black Knight character yet his friend took it and popularized it in his own game, so now everyone thinks he's the one ripping off the concept. But then it falls off the wayside for the more generic 'real-life-turns-into-a-game' plot, so yeah. It's also a bizarre decision to make the MC's motivation be about wanting to impress his childhood friend but never showing the friend's face at all, much less a hint of his personality.

The only thing that keeps sticking in my head with Ginka and Gluna is how tall the aristocrat girl is. Is she literally a giant or are Ginka and Gluna kinda short? It seems like she towers over everyone.

Ginka & Glüna: Yeah, it's losing me as well. Speeding through the introductory chapters was a good move, but it seems to be speeding through everything else as well. Combined with how unchallenged our main protagonists seem to be by everything, it's just completely destroying my interest. Tall girl is tall which is pretty refreshing, but this being manga, I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out being like 178 cm or something.  Tokyo Demon Bride Story: In contrast to Ginko & Glüna - a series I want to like, while losing interest in it due to it's writing, I am ready to drop Tokyo Bride at any point, but I still can't see any reason to do so. It's cute and funny, there is zero fan-service and the main heroine is the only female character that has shown any romantic interests towards the protagonist so far. It looks like it's more of a slice of life combined with battle shonen than a harem or a romcom.

Also, I do like that for Heart Gear we essentially jumped back into the story with one of those scripted boss fights from a JRPG where you are going to lose. But come on, this is a really unfair matchup.  I can only imagine how much more berserk Chrome will be when he sees Rue in this much danger. That or maybe the other faction shows up for a timely save.

Lt. Lizard posted:the main heroine is the only female character that has shown any romantic interests towards the protagonist so far. What about the frog girl, and the cat girl who appears at the end of the most recent chapter? I agree that there isn't really any fanservice, but that just makes the harem manga tropes stranger. It feels like the writer is unthinkingly filling in gaps with clichés from the wrong genre. Speaking of clichés, Aliens Area looks like it's wrapping up soon, and while it's better than it started out as, it still kind of deserves the cancellation. Arguably a lot of the "improvement" was just using big-picture plot development as a stalling tactic to dodge the fundamental problem that it's a battle manga by someone who can't write interesting fight scenes. And yes, Ginka and Gluna, after briefly flirting with the idea that the protagonists aren't completely invincible, is now back to "lol we can just magic away any problem."

But come on, this is a really unfair matchup. Yeah, Roue needs to put the gun down. Bringing a gun to a fist fight.I look forward to the carnage when Chrom puts himself back together. Meanwhile Dandadan swerves from a love story to a horror story in the span of a page.  quote:The Game Devil: Haven't seen anyone bring this up.

I want to like Game Devil, because I like how it swerves between videogame and real world. But I keep glazing over whenever I try to read it. I think the lead may be aggressively uninteresting.

Tall girl is tall which is pretty refreshing, but this being manga, I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out being like 178 cm or something. Height is really relative in Shonen manga. Yuji in Jujutsu Kaisen and Makima in Chainsaw Man are the same height, but because Chainsaw Man's cast is pretty tall (Aki is 6'3'', for example), Makima doesn't seem that unusual, while Yuji's surrounded by people about his height, so he seems respectably tall, with people like Gojo looking huge rather than simply a bit on the tall side.

Silver2195 posted:What about the frog girl, and the cat girl who appears at the end of the most recent chapter? Dunno about the cat girl as she appeared literally on the last page of this chapter, but the frog girl is obviously friendly and feels like she is indebted to the protagonist, both because he helped her and because she attacked him, which is a pretty standard future harem member thing, but I feel that in by-the-books harem she would be obviously infatuated and actively pursue him by now, which she isn't. Demon Bride does this a lot, as you mentioned -it uses a generic harem cliché, but then doesn't follow through with it to a logical conclusion and you end up with a series that uses loads of harem tropes without being actually a harem. It's weird, but it keeps me curious enough to follow it and see where it goes. And in meanwhile, the actual character interactions are pretty fun.

It hasn't been since the first chapter of Make the Exorcist fall in love where I truly felt that the presence of a demon lord was something repulsive to earth and humans. Mammon was just an rear end in a top hat obsessed with that salty runback against Mr. Priest but also framed as a representation of anger and resentment MGTOW style. He was very human in the end. Leviathan was just misunderstood and unable to help being so ridiculously large and powerful and causing mayhem just by existing so she became a loli, she just wanted a friend. Now Asmodeus, she wasn't around for long but bursting out the deformed and distended stomach of her own subordinate and mind controlling an entire town in an instant was hosed up. Doubly so because she is the patron saint of the surprise snuggle. But I think she's finally been topped by the Lord of the Flies because I expected some really twisted stuff and this latest chapter did not fail to deliver on all fronts. What a magnificent disaster this whole thing was and an unexpected Jab at veganisms because meat will always be delicious. Shame Bubs is only a fan of the long pig. I cannot wait for him to get destroyed
