A Sometimes Food posted:MMA: Still losing it at the loving ripped mma ojou. It's great. Also loving Nao in this chapter. Huge "gently caress you" energy that I very much appreciate quote:Mamayuyu: enjoying this but looking like it might have gotten the "wrap it up" signal. Yeah Glazius posted:Akane-banashi: It's neat to see how they're still treating the protagonist as a small fish where a couple dozen people is a pretty successful live. Yeah, it's great that it's treating everything as work and a grind. She's talented af, but she still has to put the work in. Two On Ice: the couple at the end is way more interesting than anything the series has done so far Elusive Samurai: Tokiyuki is a creeper, confirmed Kill Blue: I still appreciate that the manga continues to go "listen, this relationship is NOT happening" while allowing situations to occur. I think it's fine for Noren to have feelings for Ogami. It makes perfect sense for her to! But I like that Ogami has to try to figure a way out of it without alienating Noren in the process. That makes for an interesting dilemma My Girlfriend Gives Me Goosebumps: poor Rinko Witch Enforcer: I really do like the world building in this series. The moon and Witch society sounds like a terrible place to live in Demon Lord Exchange: okay, this is an interesting wrinkle Hope You're Happy, Lemon: y'know, if the mangaka hadn't gone out of their way to clear things up with the previous situation, I wouldn't be prepared for this one to end next chapter. And heck, maybe if both situations were happening at once, we might have a fun romcom right now

Undead Unluck: Lmao that Unburn just has a power to turn off the sun. And now we have the next five Negators to convert/save. Noticeably, UnRuin is not among them, so I am really curious how they'll handle eventually him. But first we gotta save the girl that will get stuck in a giant bunny outfit! MamaYuyu: Honestly this could be just a beginning of the new arc, but with the Shonen Jump Reality and it's low ranking, it's probably accelerating towards the end. A pity, I'll miss Minerva. Kagurabachi: Kinda rough fighting scene, but I like how the fight was juxtaposed with scenes of Chichiro providing intel. Although this is an obvious set up for both Chichiro and Sojo to be pushed beyond their limits and achieving My Girlfriend Gives Me Goosebumps!: Rinko.... Shadow Eliminators: Yep, this is still not doing anything special.

The new Elusive Samurai chapter with the giant warrior dude just casually mauling his own retainers who don't even react to the pain out of fear and the other Daimyo just looking horrified was pretty funny

So they'll just ignore it. That said, it's extremely similar to the previous thing where Kogahara fell in love with Lemon in Sunao's body, so I guess the message here is that everyone would be in love with their best friend?

That's a good point. And yeah, now that you point it out, that kind of is what the manga's saying, especially once you remember that Lemon and Sunao used to be best friends before they started dating. Dawgstar posted:Nao's turning into a nice co-protagonist and I hope it keeps up. Same. It looks like she's going to be the more gutsy of the two, which is a nice change of pace. Daddy and Buddy: okay, I like this new character. She feels desperately needed in this series At Summer's End: I didn't like the art style of this manga at first, but I think it's starting to grow on me. The roughness of it definitely adds to the vibe that I think the series is going for

I am not looking forward to what happens next. The art of the series has consistently been good and yeah, those past pages show how Asmodeus gets a partial victory in the end. She's unleashed another repressed side of the Priest and it didn't escape me that the story is more obviously signalling Belphagor as a factor here with the giant sloth in the Priest's bed right next to the snail. But also we have a snake very prominently because even Satan has gained a foothold.

I thought it was cute but above average at best. Like it wouldn't have surprised me if it got canned after around 20 or so chapters. I've been continually surprised how it's attained almost mythical status.

I liked the way characters in Ruri Dragon tended to react to things in an understated way rather than an overstated way.

I've been continually surprised how it's attained almost mythical status. The original one-shot did a lot of heavy lifting there, the pacing was much better and the concept does have potential. I felt like the six chapters we got in the series were already dragging their heels, there's a ton of padding in the dialogue. I'd read it if it came back, but it wouldn't be the reason I opened the Jump app.

It's mostly the situation around it, didn't get canned, but put on hold due to some very unfortunate circumstances. Didn't know it was getting mythical level hype, but I'm sure people will show the same for when Black Clover comes back.

Ruri Dragon was a simple concept and had a pretty good execution to it. It was charming and fun, and it was easy to like. I think people are also judging it for its potential. There was room to grow. I mean, compare it to something like Shadow Eliminators or Two on Ice and I’d bounce either one in a heartbeat to have Ruridragon back.

That makes for an interesting dilemma She's not developing feelings for Ogami is the thing. The point of the chapter where the Home Ec group talked about their crushes during the night was that they're still a bunch of dumb kids who think relationships are binary. From their perspective, Noren can only either see Ogami as a fake boyfriend or someone she loves. This contest has made Noren actually consider how much Ogami means to her, but the others' suggestion and Noren having no life experience with this sort of thing has her confusing friendship with love. The whole thing fits with the story's theme about how middle schoolers are still figuring things out about themselves and what they want in the future. Dawgstar posted:Nao's turning into a nice co-protagonist and I hope it keeps up. Surprisingly, it's the best friend character who doesn't really add anything to the story. Not that I'm complaining since Nao's awesome.
