Hikaru no Go struck a good balance between "this sport is extremely important to these people and it deeply affects their lives" and "this is still the real world* and not some weird Sports Dimension". *Apart from the ghost, obviously.

Is the Medaka Box anime good? The talk about it earlier made it sound like a loving incredible series, and I'd rather watch it than read it unless the anime's poo poo.

Spirit Migration appears to have been canceled, based on how absurdly rushed the ending was. What a shame, it was a fun manga. Kou's evolution with his friends and various parties he traveled with was great fun.

I had forgotten about that too so I did not notice! Still, it's an interesting turn this chapter. We'll just have to see how the plucky gang gets out of this predicament!!

Didn't notice the first time I read but when I was looking for it I spotted 2. Wonder how much they regret writing that in and how long it lasts before the kids meet Minerva and he shows them his demon medicine cabinet and they regrow their ears.

They could probably take care of that pretty easily just by having some time pass and the characters growing out their hair to cover it. Problem solved!

Does anyone know what the current status is of Silver Spoon? From what little research I've done it looks like it's still on hiatus, but I'm not even sure the latest scans (Chapter 120) were all of what was available.

My understanding is that 120 is the most recent chapter period, and there hasn't been much in the way of news since.

Not people previously spooked at a spooky mansion trying to blow it up and then getting destroyed by ghosts. Seems pretty promising

Dr. Stone: It's a bit weak for Tsukasa not to notice something like that but I'll take it as a piece of good luck. I'm guessing whatever primitivist society he builds is the/a major antagonist. Robot Golf: Obviously the guy has to be a quick learner for the story to work going forward but if he's that quick they're going to have logic problems challenging him later.

I'm pretty sure that minus Tsukasa himself, any primitivist society would easily be defeated by a more advanced one, especially when you consider that more people will want to come to the protagonists' "not dying of dysentery" society.

As big and stupid as someone like Tsukasa is there's always going to be some bigger, stupider and holding a bigger stick just around the corner ready to rally the cry for ludism.

I don't see why you'd assume that. But there's a few times that same weird assumption in this thread that Tsukasa is secretly a useless idiot doomed to job to someone, either a bigger version of himself or the power of science, so far as I can tell because goons tend to be science fans and can't take his views at all seriously. But 1. primitivism has a respectable intellectual pedigree and is no less coherent than most anime villain philosophies, 2. he is personally extremely intelligent and has been hyped heavily as both a rival and a main villain in the prologue, and 3. there's no particular reason besides his opponents being the heroes why he's doomed to lose, primitivism is only even in question because Senkuu is a literally comic-book supergenius who can skip the thousands of years and thousands of people required to develop sophisticated theoretical knowledge. Tsukasa has nothing in Senkuu in the OTT superhuman stakes. Remember also that he uses technology (spears, nitric acid, etc) himself and is clearly well-read. He just doesn't want advanced technical civilisation.

I agree that Tsukasa isn't going to randomly job out, though I wouldn't say that the sort of primitivism shown in the comic is anything remotely respectable/intellectual. Like, Tsukasa's motivation seems to literally be "I just like this simple livin'".
