Lots of chapters like to pick one joke and run it into the ground for the duration, which usually works pretty well, but I think I will agree that this one it didn't quite connect and/or felt a little forced after a while. Some great individual moments/panels though of course.

There are a few chapters like this every so often, where the writer sometimes forgets that his characters are wacky enough and can carry a story by themselves without having to force in weird poo poo. Everyone has an off-day, though.

I want to reserve judgment until I see the actual show, but man, those really just look like they came from a generic harem show to me.

Edit: Like someone heard "harem show with a vampire love interest" and just adapted based on that sentence

Nearly one whole episode of soft focus with long pans with the off model all the way up until the point of seeing the wings. Since they've got a class rep, they could even use it as an additional visual gag for flashbacks before the secrets got found out.

Now we shall be even more disappointed when they don't do this.

If Shirobako taught me anything, it's that having food and treats on hand is absolutely essential to making an anime work.

Is it just me, or is (spoiling for safety) Shimada staring at Shiho's boobs on the second-last page?

And man, maybe it makes me a bad guy, but I love the competition here :allears:

That's Shima, yes. He's kind of terrible.

Also the ghost of Oka is still haunting his classmates. It's so tragic.

It was just linked in the 'Convince to read' thread, but Shion of the Dead reminds me of this series once it gets going. The first volume is heavy on fanservice, but once the first arc happens it starts to become a world of idiots in love plus one ambitious capitalist.

Best part "Is it really that exciting?" The bits in the background really sew this chapter together.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

God, I really really dislike the character designs they went with! They bishoujou-ified all the characters so that they look like a crappy knockoff version of the originals, rather than the unique, slightly kooky designs in the original manga. It's just similar enough, yet different enough to be uncanny, so it's really frustrating!! I don't think I'll be following the anime.

I'm going to hope that they do a sorta fake out thing and reveal something similar to the current art style, or that they evolve it sorta like how the author evolved the manga's art style.

Gonna at least give it a few episodes and hope for the best. Then whine and cry when they keep that lovely art.
