I think if it had been that from the start it might have at least earned a few more eyes than "absolutely insanely bog standard by the numbers shonen first chapter where the protagonist literally rips off the second most popular shonen punchman protagonist of all time when showing off his Unique Power."

Yeah, very bad first impression there. The author does seem to have realized the problem with the protagonist's power and subtly retconned it to be more of a Parasyte knockoff instead of a One Piece knockoff, at least.

Akane-banashi: God I love Akane she's so cool I wish I was more like her. Also drat must have been hard to translate into English, props to the translator.

Elusive Samurai: Awwww poo poo Takauji is entering the battle! And he finally fuckin' remembers who Tokiyuki is, too! Honestly the dude is so friggin' inhuman that I really wonder what his whole dealio is. Also interested in seeing where this goes, since history (Wikipedia) says that Takauji took Kamakura and Tokiyuki was forced to fight under the Emperor to survive, and also that Takauji ultimately won and established his own shogunate in the end.

G&G: Awww yeah we're getting to see the big hitters, the movers and shapers of the world now. Go get that jerk!

If I recall correctly. Tokiyuki’s rebellion here does take Kamakura, but Takauji takes it back in a few years forcing Tokiyuki to flee again. Tokiyuki’s group then eventually teams up with the Emperor against Takauji’s growing power but eventually Tokiyuki’s faction falls to Takauji who becomes Shogun.

Well the first chapter does say he’s kind of a footnote. Though he did fight with and run away from Takauji for 17 years before they finally caught and beheaded him. He even managed to take Kamakura a second time before running away again.

I figure that there's a few different possibilities.

A) We follow the historical record and the story ends tragically

B) We follow the historical record but certain details are different, like say that Tokiyuki fakes his death and escapes rather than being executed.

C) gently caress history, Yorishige is a time traveler and alters fate.

Aliens Area gets the same “read the volume” ending as Super Smartphone, but with less of a cliffhanger to justify it; I suspect the number of people who will care enough to buy the volume is pretty small.

Fortunately, Hunter x Hunter is back, and is good.

Bad news, the mangaka for Heart Gear might be going back on hiatus because their health isn't doing that well again. Hoping for the best.

On another note the newest chapter presents a design problem for these androids.

If you are going to tell me that breasts aren't cosmetic on combat androids but instead serve as cushions for blunt damage. It would make sense for said combat androids with this feature to just be fat because this absorption material covers the whole body or at least the whole torso. Instead because the author is horny (I don't blame them) this is the exact flaw chainmail bikini armor has.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the Gear design meeting where some horny engineer is desperately attempting to pass off what are clearly a giant pair of tits as "shock absorbing material", only to be shocked when his equally-horny boss signs off on it anyway. All while another member of the design committee is sitting there going "Shock absorbing material my rear end, those are clearly a pair of tits."

No, the tits on the previous lady were for shock absorbing. These things are obviously a last ditch effort for the win. Those things could take out Chrom's head again if they'd hit.


Sucks about the hiatus though, I quite like Heart Gear.

Akane-banashi: More big players! The new dude is a disciple of the head honcho of the rakugo association, but he's meeting up with a different master for reasons? What could they be?

Also, drat, Akane's repertoire is pretty limited, huh? It's cleverly masked by the fact that we only see her perform 1 story per arc, so we assume she's got a ton of stories she's good at, but it turns out the ones we've seen her do are the only ones she's allowed to perform! (According to a dude on r/manga who posts a bunch of rakugo facts and trivia, Akane only being able to perform 5 stories doesn't mean that she only knows 5, but rather that her master - Shiguma in this case - has only allowed her to perform those specific stories.)

It's neat cause the story has consistently shown Akane being incredibly talented + hard working and being able to blast her way through obstacles with that + her pluckiness, but now she's legit in a quagmire because she can't just power through the system (performing something she's not allowed to perform means going against her mentor, and performing one of the five that she knows means interfering with the acts of the actual performers). Eager to see how this situation resolves, or if she'll be forced to bow out of performing and use it as motivation to pick up more stories she's allowed to perform.

Elusive Samurai: drat, it's time for the freaky horse dude to hit the fray. Also wow the elf dude is fuckin' crazy. Also Shizuku is like, "I don't love him!" about Tokiyuki but at the same time says she's addicted to how upfront he is about his gratitude towards his followers. Tsun, much?

G&G: Someone save my beautiful Mini-Gin...

Mashle: Eh.

Roboco and Me: I'll admit I didn't understand the math question, which makes me dumber than Bondo and Gachi. Feels bad, man. Also took me for a swerve when Gachi and Roboco knew it was Motsuo, cause I'm so used to Bondo being the sole straight man. I guess it really was that obvious, huh.

Sakamoto Days: Turns out Invisidude wasn't actually gonna betray the gang, though that was pretty predictable. But he ends up being forced to fight them either way. Wonder how Shin's gonna fare up against one of Slur's elites, given how strong they are.

drat Akane needs to have 10x the stories if she wants to make it to the next tier.

quote:

The requirement for promotion to Futatsume for the Arakawa school is to be able to perform 50 stories along with Koudan (another storytelling method), singing/dancing/shamisen, and drums for the Yose, so she needs to pick up a whole lot more.

So it works like this, take each letter of the word and figure out its corresponding number. A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on.

M=13
E=5
A=1
T=20

Add up the numbers, 13 + 5 + 1 + 20 = 39

I'm guessing that the translator had to come up with their own thing for this puzzle.

I think it's a bit lost in translation. Don't have the raws to confirm but I bet it's something like

Meat = 肉 (niku) = 二 + 九 = 2 + 9
Coral = 珊瑚 (sango) = 三 + 五 = 3 + 5
PM = 午後 (gogo) = 五 + 五 = 5 + 5
Leaf = 葉 (ha) = 八 = 8

I could be wrong though! But if that's the case, all the translator would have to do is come up with an alternative letter/mapping scheme and then change the numbers.

My guess is that she'll twist one of the stories in a clever way. Like turn one that's usually a comedy into a tragedy, or something similar. Same story, but with altered framing to "change" it.
