I have to wonder if this is just another story wrinkle or is the next chapter the end of Kill Blue?

My Girlfriend Gives Me Goosebumps!: At this point, this is pretty much just extremely wholesome and sweet romance story and the whole Yandere bit comes up like once in a blue moon when author remembers. And I am absolutely not complaining.

And I am absolutely not complaining. It's really nice. Even falling which was a secret passion of his didn't get his heart racing. But his awesome girlfriend did. As for her yandere tendencies. I don't think they ever left she just isn't always doing the more generic stuff like bugging his room or stalking his associates. But it has been consistent every chapter she says or does something that shows her obsession. Like this one where she basically says air means nothing when it comes to love.

Ice head gill, do retry and fabricant 100 are all rushing their endings. MHAs also ready to just drop dead and witch watch may be heading towards a conclusion? Unless they have some very promising replacements having all of these series end in the last third of the year is a bit much.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Betting on another wrinkle. fabricant 100 already had an arc that completely looked like "oh its rushing towards an ending". this arc gives equally strong "oh its rushing towards an ending"-vibes, so while i do agree its probably ending... it might randomly just not and then go on into another "oh its rushing towards an ending"-arc

Yeah, I take the "no yandere" thing back. I didn't notice the eyes of our dear MC on the final panel until I re-read the chapter. I guess we are having a Yandere switch instead.

Very satisfied with the outcome, genuinely my favorite thing in Jump right now. muscles like this! posted:I have to wonder if this is just another story wrinkle or is the next chapter the end of Kill Blue? I like Kill Blue a lot, but it would also be very funny for this to be how it ended. Just "Oh, you got better on your own, we were wrong" would be an incredible way to wrap up something cancelled early. I'm also really digging MMA so far, hope this sticks around for a while.

Fabricant 100: I don't know what's going on right now but MC is burning bright!Lt. Lizard posted:Mikane and The Sea Woman: I still have no idea what kind of theme, or even genre this series wants to do.Supernatural Slice of Life? Psychological Drama? Romcom? Horror? Battle Shonen? There are hints for all of those in the two first chapter. Still, I remain curious about where this is going. Lt. Lizard posted:Yeah, I take the "no yandere" thing back.

Kill Blue seems to be fairly popular, so I'd find it weird if it ended after only 20 chapters.

The first chapter felt like it was ten miles a minute, and the bit at the middle seemed like a weird way to get the plot started. Has potential, I guess, but could fall flat on its face with the premise.

I'll be interested if they can keep the concept of the MC being okay with robot revolution and humans getting killed without it ending up just being goreporn.

I'm expecting Marie to chill out somewhat before she kills anyone truly sympathetic, and mostly just kill members of the fascist government conspiracy.

Like Detroit Become Human, it leans too heavily on bad scifi tropes to really hook me. We live in a society where humans get attached to a roomba with googly eyes, property is more valuable than people and corporations will always reduce production costs, it's literally the opposite of the three primary factors that underpin the setting.

Kyte posted:Like Detroit Become Human, it leans too heavily on bad scifi tropes to really hook me. For me, the main issue was the main character. He's not very compelling, has a backstory that stretches disbelief to fit the needs of the plot exactly, and his ethical stances are bizarre, again feeling more driven by the needs of the plot than by anything about him as a person. I saw comparisons to Fujimoto earlier in a general "there's more violent and grim works premiering now inspired in part by Fujimoto's success" way, but with Denji, Asa, and even Agni, you get why they do what they do. The actions fit the character. Here, it feels much less connected.

MarriageToxin: Yeah, obviously this whole thing wouldn't just end that smoothly. Still, it's good to see that Wind Users are absolute weirdos, as is usual for Specialists. The whole "strategies to counter the Poison User got leaked and are freely circulating the net" thing is pretty interesting and will probably make this battle far harder than it would be otherwise. I wonder what game is the Beast User sister playing. Make the Exorcist Fall in Love: Mikhail was an incredible addition to the cast. That is all.

I found the beast guy kinda boring by the end, but these wind people? These are my kind of psychos. I hope the poison info leaking gives Akakura a chance to shine. She needs a solid W here.

 Gachiakuta I could honestly read Typhon just talking about anything for a long time. He's just the right amount of intensity and throws everything the MC (and by proxy most shonen protagonists) believes back at him. Once again, the villain has used the power of friendship in all the wrong ways. And it's finally time the main character realized he's crazy but now he has objective confirmation. Shinji2015 posted:
 This arc is still cascading to a horrible tragedy but for a brief moment, things were very wholesome.

Just "Oh, you got better on your own, we were wrong" would be an incredible way to wrap up something cancelled early. I doubt manga is ending. Instead, I believe the narrative is setting up a way for Juzo to transform back to an adult temporarily. I would guess that the cherry he ate that day would be the cause.

Shojo Null: Continues being comically edgy. The human are just absurdly evil and while the director of the "play" is the most obvious example this chapter, for me the highlight was the police chief being all "idgaf that my son just died and my home burned down, WE GOTTA FIND AND MURDER ALL THE REBELS  ". People are saying this is inspired by Fujimoto's works, but all I can see is Elfen Lied v.2Mikane and The Sea Woman: I already noticed it the last chapter, but I really like how the authors draws expressions. Each time the mermaid smiles, almost her entire vibe changes completely and it's really neat! The story is still very obviously in prologue and I am still not sure where this is going, but I kinda like it so far.

Shojo Null thoughts: seems really meh, honestly hate the art style and it's just so comically over the top in how badly the gigins are treated that id only hope it ends with destroying all humans. Not feeling any of the characterization either.

I’m getting big “Detroit” vibes from Shojo Null where the author is turning a dial that says “Racism” and looking back for approval. I think what really rubs me the wrong way is that the author doesn’t trust the audience (in both those cases) that they can be a bit more subtle about how the robots are treated to show how things are messed up but it’s always the glaringly obvious stupid things like “THE ROBUTS CAN BE HARMED AND PEOPLE DON’T CARE” just dial it down and people will still figure it out. It’s almost making me miss stories like Chobits where the big worry was “How can we stop ourselves from loving the robots? Cause we can make very sexy robots”
