I think that she's switched from being nice to trying to scare him away, especially if her blood's mixed with his. Whatever injured her to begin with might be after mermaids, and now that he's got mermaid blood in him he might be a target now. Hell, maybe mermaids want to kill each other and her instincts have kicked in

Do Retry is definitely ending next chapter seeing as every plot point got resolved this week. The new series MamaYuyu is a little too early to tell since this first chapter didn't actually set up where the plot is going to go.

Brought To You By posted:Goosebump Girlfriend: An expected outcome but I still feel bad for Rinko Poor girl is probably my favorite character.  Also, yeah I expected that our dear protagonist will be unable to cheat on Kisaki. He may be a bit unhinged, but he is still good boy and likes Kisaki way too much to do something like that. Even if he doesn't fully realize it himself, yet. Which makes the ending of this chapter extra hilarious. Also also, the author might be legit the sanest person in Shonen Jump, considering he decided to switch to bi-weekly schedule once he felt that weekly schedule was a bit too much. Good for him, I hope a bunch of other mangaka will follow suit.

Yeah Do Retry is done, not really sad. Was reading it out of sheer momentum. Wasn’t that good. Mamayuyu seems like it could be interesting but it had a ton of chapters without really giving us anything about what the actual story is going to be. It’s about him going on a journey to discover what being a hero is, so is that solely in his world? are they dimension hopping? Why did the demon lord even take in the hero? It really needs to show us what it wants to aim for. I don’t dislike it, but I don’t think it has anything going for it either.

I assume it'll be a battle manga solely because of that image on the Viz frontpage but yeah the actual chapter gives zero indication what the driving force is gonna be. Could be interesting, could be an Earthchild situation where it veers from place to find to find a plot that works.

MMA is still good. Feels a bit like Ippo with the protagonist finally entering his first tourney (though as an amateur rather than a pro)

The Black Stones posted:Yeah Do Retry is done, not really sad. Was reading it out of sheer momentum. Wasn’t that good. It also didn't give us much personality for the Demon Lord, which feels like an odd move considering that'll be the co-protagonist, judging from the art. As a one-shot it works, but most successful Jump series end chapter 1 with a hook saying "this is what the series is going to be like". They might move away from that hook sooner or later, but it tells the reader something to look forward to. Here, there's no clear next chapter, which makes it harder to see what we're working with, despite an interesting setup.

it becomes a wildly successful 500 chapter series about the protagonist using his hero status to protect people by publicizing systemic corruption, leading peaceful protests, and starting non profit organizations. Or maybe he'll fight other extradimensional threats. Could go either way.

So a weird thing about Detective Conan is that in the first 200 chapters a setting got repeated almost verbatim. There were two instances of going to a remote cabin specifically with the only connection to the outside world being a rope bridge that gets destroyed leaving everyone stranded.

Do Retry had a chance to be good if it actually committed to "having a strong heart" does not solve everything. The narrative was set up to discuss how this typical shonen trope cannot handle certain issues which is why Nijimura resorted to using drugs. But in the end, "having a solve heart" apparently solves everything, including PTSD and TB.

Lol. “Yeah, I was sick and on my deathbed but then I said ‘TB sucks I don’t want it’ really hard and now I’m cured.” I think my biggest issue beyond story was the art didn’t really click with the type of story. It just looked a bit too nice for a manga about beating the crap out of others.

It came pretty close to linking the determination-is-the-solution-to-everything mentality of Shonen Jump to fascism. Obviously there was no way it would end up concluding “actually this magazine is fascist,” and obviously the author lacks the political sophistication to explain why it isn’t. The only solution was to just ignore the dad’s arguments and fall back on cliches.

It's hard to say if the mangaka has the political sophistication to expand on their point (although you're probably right), but it never mattered since after that storyline it went into "well, gotta wrap it up" mode and whatever theme it was wanting to build was dumped by the wayside. It's a shame, though; has there been any manga that's explored that line of thought? I think I wouldn't mind reading a series that sees where that goes. panko posted:marriage-toxin continues to own

While it doesn't really pursue its ties to fascism, Fire Punch is largely about how BURNING PASSION can cause pain and agony. Content warning for... Just about everything from incest to torture, though.

Not as much as Fire Punch, but there's some parody of Jump convention all the same.

Medalist has got to the traditional 'the character comes within inches of defeating their rival but ultimately falls short due to being ever-so-slightly-technically-worse' mid-part of a sports drama and I think all ice rinks should be destroyed.

Mangalife or Mangasee. Those are the sources I use for Tachiyomi.

That's pretty much what happened yes due to some penalties bringing it down to a 2 Axel. What made it such a tough and bitter pill to swallow is that not only did she fail to podium(came in 4th) for the first time in her career thus far, but on PAPER even with the fall she DID beat Hikaru's score. So it's basically losing on technicalities. Super glad about Yu Yu Hakusho and yeah I liked Mama Yuyu as well, but agree that I have no idea where it could go from there. I legit kind of HOPE that it doesn't go full battle manga or even at all and becomes more of a philosophical thing exploring what it means to be a hero. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Sep 13, 2023 |

muscles like this! posted:Reading YYH and I had forgotten that the manga really drags out the opening with Yusuke staying dead for much longer than the anime. The impression I always got is that the 'staying dead' thing was supposed to be the bulk of the story. They spent a lot of time establishing various rules and gimmicks which could easily have been dragged out a long time and the major Plot McGuffin basically vanishes until the Dark Tournament arc where it becomes a plot device. It doesn't really become True Fightman until Genkai is introduced which is a notable shift for the series from "Dead teenager gets to come back to live but has to do good" and "Dead teenager has come back to life but now has to solve spirit crimes using magic detective devices"
