Didn't this manga used to be about demons or something.

Well whatever it's doing it's working.

There was demon power used last chapter! But the comedy is superior.

Loved the ending, Paako is adorable. I was expecting one of them to be surprisingly good, but both being complete poo poo was even better. I'm a little sad that Furuichi is out, but more KanPako is worth it.

I just want to see Furuichi win for once.

Well, at least we got through this without any terribly homophobic Alaindelon gags.

Reading my OP again and I may need to update some of the character descriptions in light of recent events.


Hildegarde posted:



Again, unusually for a shounen manga, there is absolutely zero sexual tension or awkward romantic hijinks between Oga and Hildegarde.



Takayuki Furuichi posted:


Furuichi also possesses zero fighting ability.



And while I'm at it, I probably should add character descriptions for some of the more important supporting characters as well. Besides Paako and Futaba, who else should be noted in the OP?

Kanzaki and Paako's assertion that they'd win a flirty thing :3:

They've already won... our hearts.

If they were going to get beaten I'd have preferred it be in something else, if only so they get more screen time. I've gotta say though, the idea that the event organizers ran out of ideas and decided to just have people fight is pretty great.

So I spent the last few days reading through this entire thing again, and goddamn if it didn't just reaffirm my love for it. It's not often that I laugh out loud reading manga but Beelzebub manages to do it.

edit: Also I just looked up some scenes from the anime out of curiosity and wow Paako's voice is not what I expected at all :psyduck:

Sample revamped OP:


quote:


Background

Beelzebub is the story of Hanazawa “Paako” Yuka and her budding romance with the kind-hearted delinquent Kanzaki Hajime. There’s also a sub-plot about some Demon King’s son that inter-weaves with the Paako-Kanzaki love story from time to time.


Main Characters

Hanazawa “Paako” Yuka posted:




Paako is a student in Ishiyama High School and a leading member of the girls’ gang known as the “Red Tails”. She is known for her trademark flower hairpin, which doubles as a deadly weapon in her skilled hands. She is a cheerful, outgoing person, and is very fond of Kanzaki’s adorable niece Futaba. Always one to put her friends before herself, she is at the forefront when it comes to supporting the romantic endeavours of her fellow gang members Aoi and Nene. However, she is shy about admitting her own growing feelings for Kanzaki, while Aoi and Nene in turn can see that Paako and Kanzaki “make a good pair”.



Kanzaki Hajime posted:




Kanzaki is one of the four five strongest students in Ishiyama High School and is known for his charisma (being the only male member of the five to maintain an entourage of allies and supporters), his dancing expertise (in particular his mastery of the “Kanzaki Flamenco”), and his attention to his health (exemplified by the fact that his favourite drink is yogurt). He has bonded with Paako over their common affection for his niece Futaba, and like Paako he too is willfully oblivious to his growing love for her.

They didn't win but the end result was still great. This goes for pretty much every couple. Even Furuichi gets a break.

If you can make sense of eyehax, then you tell me. I never understood why taking someone elses eyes and implanting them into your skull gives you even stronger magical powers, but then I don't have a ninja PHD, so I don't really get how magical eyes make sense in general.
