hideo was never gonna save the world, so squeaking through the zombie apocalypse and then being left alone, useless and forgotten suits him pretty well.

I wish we didn't get those crazy chapters about the guy who became a tree or the girl the zombies were protecting if he wasn't going to give any sort of explanation for what was going on.

I'm not even mad, it kinda felt like he was stuck there with just endless loops of "they find a community, community breaks down, they have to flee" so I'm glad he just ended it.

Is talking about plotpoints in I am a Hero even considered spoiling the story? The whole thing seems like a disjointed mess of different "what if?" concepts. The world became so much larger than Hideo and maybe Kengo didn't know how to pull it back to the point that made the series so endearing in the first place. Still can't get over his Manben episode and how he's a little tracer baby

to put it another way, it was a perfectly fine ending for hideo but not for any other part of the story.

Yeah basically this is why I'm a bit miffed, those chapters were really cool and seeing nothing else about it sucked.

Yeah, I liked where it put Hideo, I just don't get what happened to the hive. I mean...did he...kill it? Is it just incubating? I don't mind not ever knowing what it was trying to do, but I'm bothered not knowing whether or not it was prevented from doing it, and if so, then how.

i think the idea is that they no longer needed to deal with the real world at all. instead, they became outwardly inert and focused instead on the combined inner world of every infected human. of course, that only explains what happened in tokyo and not the weird poo poo we saw elsewhere. i'm not really sure what that giant mass was trying to do while it was moving, much less going after the office building where survivors lived, but hideo had little influence on the outcome regardless.

Steady mine soliloquy if what sayest ye was tongue-in cheek *averts person awayest from the mic, to inhaleth* Ryo was felled by an idiot with practical martial skill. A majority of imbecilic readers will consume any mainstream piece of pop culture. Hideo was felled by an idiot, who deflected his insta-killshot with a first-edition of his magnum opus. The idiot coveted it so closely. It seems idiots are to blame for the wanton destruction of all that is good.

It's just liek when my parents waited to let the dog get put down because i wanted him to live The way an author can start feeding their current series morphine before it even knows it has cancer is a modern marvel of medical malpractice. All I know is I didn't miss the "No Dale, TURN LEFT!!!" scene in Urusawa Naoki's Billy Bat. It was when the mangaka still knew too much. :foilhat:

Which is why kengo should refrain from making long series, IMO. He opened so many threads he was forced to just cut them off. Guess you don't have much of a choice when you are successful.

According to wikipedia, Happiness is still running (4 volumes so far), and there's a new one called Chi no Wadachi as well. Looking at his previous stuff, parallel serialization (er) is familiar to him.

Also I've never seen someone get so many anime deals in so little time. I feel like there's 2 per season.

Those don't require nearly as much work as "regular" manga.

He has like 8 series running concurrently right now, though I think most (all?) are monthly, yeah. Kuzushiro has like 5 or something too. It's not particularly rare to have a few things going at once.

a kitten posted:The tamer version is the version i'm most familiar with since the Dark Horse version i picked up back in '96(or so) used it. AFAIK Shiro did the re-draw himself. I had the later uncensored version when I was a kid and thought it was insanely sexy. I just think if you're gonna make a definitive version you should keep the original intact even if the part you're changing is Shirow's pre weird fetish hentai. Although then again the later Dark Horse release might not be flipped in which case I don't care.
