To be fair, I think the point of Goose is that she's really needlessly violent, but I can understand the comparison to Ajin.

I maintain that making the Escape Artists immortal really takes away from the interesting part of the pitch. In the beginning, they had better tech and training than their regenerating opponents, but they still felt vulnerable. Now that it's clear that there were never any stakes in the earlier violence, it makes it feel a bit pointless.
Are they immortal? I may be forgetting something but this chapter makes sure to show that she doesn't just "rewind", she manually attaches her arm and pulls a Senator Armstrong with it. I'm inclined to think their powers come from some kind of NANOMACHINES, SON!


I've been feeling it's gotten a bit too gratuitously violent for its own good for a bit now, but this chapter seemed like the most logical use of the gratuitous violence to me. Both because Goose is a total monster, and because she's right, the only way to make the immortals fear is to cause them pain WITHOUT killing them. But Windchime flipping her poo poo was a great moment, for sure. Seems we might be reaching a critical plot dump point soon though.

I also stumbled across Terrarium in Drawer, which is loving fantastic. It's a series of short whimsical tales, with a lighthearted surrealism to them. It's good poo poo.

It really makes sense when you think about it. Even the protagonist is the prototypical TFR goon who puts great effort into his OPs.

Hay everybody! I had a cool idea to take sets from Strauss, Neil's The Game, and practice storyboarding the sets. Lucky for me, I forgot and some Korean dude did it first instead! Way to go, me!

Skill of Lure is kinda alright I guess. I had to skip the chapter where the PUA tells the protagonist about Negging though because I have listened to way too many Fplus podcasts about PUAs to see them in a positive light.

Couldn't find a request thread, but I am trying to find a couple of pages from Vagabond where Musashi is making some little oni wood carvings. Anyone with an encyclopedic memory remember what chapters that was happening in? TIA.

The kind buddha craftsman who took Takezou in, unbeknownst to a passion with cutting wooden stumps for a hobby that exceeded even hs professional expertise. I remember it being somewhere after the middle.

Please give me a few minutes, Vagabond is indeed supersweet and well overdue for a climactic update. I've been meaning to revisit it after my disappointment with the ending to Shamo.

e:, wow, Kojirou gets a lot of screen time, and the timing is so disjointed. I'm glad I'm not getting paid for this.

Okay, I think the buddha carving episode was after his felling of the juppon gatana or the shinsen gumi. I know he was on the run, lame, crippled, and looking for a safehouse. Dude didn't know Takezou was really Musashi the loosener of limbs.

My goodness, this manga is like a nightmare for unified time.

I found Fort of the Apocalypse somewhat entertaining at first but it was too goddamn ANIME with the characters and plot. When that special forces unit came there with the moe girl as their leader or some poo poo I just rolled my eyes and stopped.

I Am A Hero is a much more interesting series.

If you must blink, do it now.
I remember reading somewhere that the lady who does Dorohedoro said something to the effect of "Faces are the one thing I'm not good at drawing, so I decided to tell a story where everyone wears masks."

Hilarious if true. Also cool.

What new Jiro Matsumoto thing? Joshi Kouhei? It's the last work I see he has.
The tags are:
Anal Intercourse Nudity Pegging Psychopath/s Rape School Girl/s Sex Addict/s Sex Toy/s Sketchy Art Style Suicide/s

so I suppose you aren't going to like it!
I didn't like the shot story that it's the basis, so I don't have hopes for it to be good. I don't see how from that flimsy concept he got six volumes. Though I usually like his work, I liked everything except Wendy, Becchin to Mandara , and two or three short stories.
