i'm really digging mg tsubame now. it's asking the question "what if a random girl who became a magical girl was fundamentally incapable of fighting?" good intentions, a frilly dress and the power of friendship just aren't enough. rui simply should not be doing this.

I know it's the same author but isn't this the same premise as PPPPPP (sp) but with magical girl powers instead of piano playing talent?

Shes very capable at fighting, she just doesnt understand anything thats going on and is blithely unaware why she is.

I reckon the series actually has a really good style for merchandise, very distinctive faces both for telling the series apart from others and for telling characters apart. Every character has a small chibi design for easy recognition as well as their standard more detailed one.

Diasporaiser: This has been fun but "Final Arc" on the cover of the latest chapter makes me wonder how much more it has in it. Someone on Reddit mentioned that it was always intended as a short "feel out how to do a manga" sort of comic, which makes sense; it's had the bones of something longer but has definitely condensed a lot of what would normally be much bigger arcs into just a couple of chapters. And that art style is great but has got to be hellish on the typical manga production cycle.

2.5 Dimensional Seduction is probably one of the underrated titles that had been essentially fully dumped (150+ chapters) onto Manga Plus two months ago. Given scanlation was behind by 40+ chapters its no wonder pretty much the only way to read it is on the app. But then they essentially took the Seven Seas release and censored it to all hell until essentially chapter 60 so that people are even more discouraged by it. And that's a problem considering how the manga has developed over time from ecchi harem rom com to dropping that premise after the second girl and switching to more Cosplay Battle, Drama, Comedy, and Romance series that punches above its weight class. The series shines when it fully embraces its Otakuness and dives into the psychology of what it means to cosplay professionally and as a hobby, what it means to be an Otaku in the first place, and the overall nature of passion and love as framed in the lens of Otakuness. I like how it takes a simple background of "My mom cheated on my dad, and my first crush rejected my confession so I turned to 2D," and turns that into an exploration of distrust, being burned, but also healing. Fromyes, people do actually like you to it's okay to like other people to It's okay to like multiple people and even the self awareness of love in fiction versus reality as seen by the club advisor Mayuri who ends up dating her friend since high school because she wants to see if falling in love with her is possible. If one simply has to compare it to Sono Bisque Doll, just imagine most of the cast is some degree of Marin, taking in either her Otaku side or her Gal and Model side.

There could be some scaling going on to pretend to keep things fair. Only 1 person(Nico) was allowed to participate in that quest.

Undead Unluck: Never thought about it before, but this chapter touched it somewhat and now I am kinda curious what the first loop looked like. Were there originally no Rules? How the hell would that kind of world even work, considering rules seem to be stuff like animals, language or gender? Just some kind of literal biblical paradise? Also good observation that Language seemed to be soloed by Niko in previous loop, although that might have been just early chapter weirdness. Kagurabachi: Another setup chapter for Kagurabankai. I wonder if that supermove at the end is it, or if it's just Chichiro mixing abilities in an unorthodox way. MamaYuyu: Living in a world of constant rain, while your the lady you are supposed to defeat can freeze water at will would suuuck. Also no big surprise, but Corleo seems to be the only Hero (and Demon Lord?) without a massively tragic backstory. My Girlfriend Gives Me Goosebumps!: That's really hosed up and incredibly selfish thing our protagonist is asking for.

Lt. Lizard posted:My Girlfriend Gives Me Goosebumps!: That's really hosed up and incredibly selfish thing our protagonist is asking for. Absolutely, although I really liked her response to it. I wonder if we're heading into the series finale with this arc. I hope not, because I think it'd be really good to see the fallout from however this resolves, but I'm not expecting much once this arc wraps up Witch Watch: fantastic, Dragon Lady fits in perfectly with the rest of these idiots MMA: Nao is so cool  And love the backstory for the oji-sama Akane-banashi: this chapter isn't going to hurt the Akane/Hikaru shipping lol Green Green Greens: wow, he really does play dirty lol. But it comes from an earnest place and it works Sakamoto Days: drat Sakamoto, you didn't have to be so extra there Nue's Exorcist: a whole lot of sighing on my part while reading this chapter

Akane-banashi: Of course the gamble man is going to ask if his proteges can bet it all. I like how I'm honestly unsure if Akane is ready for this or if she's still going to be finding herself on stage instead of performing.

Kagurabachi is still keeping my interest between the main villain of the arc having his own little character growth and a really good flashback with his dad.

Yeah, it's a good twist that I think the series needed Diasporaiser: I honestly think the series had more legs than this, but better to go out on a high than dragging to the end, I suppose Sachi's Records: honestly a great chapter. Really sums up each character's role perfectly, while revealing that all those points gags are being tracked of, and aren'tjust throwaway gags Hope You're Happy, Lemon: lol at Kogahara

The God Before Me: almost thought that this was gonna be a comedy series at the start, but I like the premise. A guy trying to dig himself out of the hole he's in is a bit of a change of pace from the usual prodigy stuff we normally see MMA: Nao's so cool Two On Ice: something I think this series does well is pointing out how physical development can affect performance, especially with athletes who are still growing, and what figure skaters specifically have to consider when it comes to the demands of the sport. It's also interesting that it took away the triple axel from the MC, since him learning it was such a big deal Kill Blue: Friend zoned Witch Watch: I missed the Prez lol

Brought To You By posted:It's been how many years since the End of Evangelion? This chapter was so hosed up I was just  the entire time. It was deeply uncomfortable to read, which was the whole point, I supposeDaddy and Buddy: also speaking of uncomfortable! Letting the pedophile go while explaining just how bad grumble bugs (creatures that feed off of negative emotions that the pedophile was exploiting) can get over a person's lifespan just feels like an extreme dereliction of duty for a group of superheroes dedicated to keeping children safe from grumble bugs, but that's just me, I guess Dark Doctor Ikuru: well, two more chapters until the end. Not that surprising unfortunately, considering how long the mangaka was sick, but the series had grown on me
