And I basically had the same experience as you, although in my case my parents realized it when I couldn't see a boat that was clearly in sight. Went to the doctor, and yup, I was nearsighted. Got a 3 in my first pair of glasses, 11 years ago. Now it's a 9. I was going to get surgery this year but I never got authorization because paying a lot for medical stuff is apparently not good enough sometimes. Oh well, I'm okay with my glasses and I admit, Senku pointing out that's totally fine made me really happy, as did Suika's happiness at being able to see the world. I'm ten billion percent glad I'm reading this right now. And I wouldn't be able to do it without science.

Bonus points if Magma steals the glasses thinking it'll make him powerful too, only it greatly weakens him. That would legit be the best shounen power up in the history of shounen power ups.

I kinda liked how they put the lenses on Sukia's helment rather than simply giving her glasses .

I think my favorite thing about this manga is that it is basically "What if we had sports-superpowers without the sports?" taken to its extreme, and it's extremely good.

You can tell Boichi's working with someone else on this because it doesn't have half as much cheesecake as he'd be putting in on a solo series.

I'm kinda curious how this conflict is gonna work out, because I can't really think of anything short of actual guns that would definitely allow Senkuu's side to defeat Tsukasa's army of swole warriors (and I feel like it's a huge stretch to make any particularly effective firearms within just a few years). Like, even if he manages to manufacture better armor and melee weapons, I'm not sure if that would make the difference against the super-human sorta fighters Senkuu is gathering. Depending on just how primitive Tsukasa's side is, Senkuu's side might benefit from just the mass production of higher quality bows, crossbows, and other weapons. Crossbows in particular I think are useful in terms of letting even less skilled people contribute, and it seems like we're supposed to just assume Senkuu is capable of building most things as long as he has the necessary tools and materials. Another thing I'm wondering about is how this conflict is gonna occur without a heck of a lot of bloodshed.

I still don't get what the con-artist thinks he's gonna get out of an anarcho-primativist commune of gorilla-people. He's exactly the kind of dude they'd hate.

Team Science could probably do pretty well just having flashlights during a night raid. Or if Senkuu figures out how to fix broken statue-people, some portion Tsukasa's group who didn't want to kill their parents might switch sides. Or if this antibiotics plan works out, it opens up the possibility of germ warfare. Ok maybe that last one is a bit dark for Shounen Jump.

it's a matter of differing philosophies, really. senkuu appeals to the idea that they can regain something of what they lost. tsukasa appeals to the idea that they are better off now. i rather doubt that this will suddenly go full battle manga.

i'm guessing that if it gets far enough to be a competetion between competing societies, tsukasa won't be able to keep control. see, why should someone be content with living primitively under tsukasa when they could go take over senkuu's society instead? they'd get to be in charge while still reaping all the benefits of civilization.

RatHat posted:I assume he just kills them on the spot unless they can convince him otherwise. That's not the point really. Tsukasa's idea is fine up until the point that his people realize they have an option. Anyone he revives is going to agree with him at first, but he's going to have a problem with defectors, big time.

And Senkuu was probably counting on just that when he gave Tsukasa the recipe. People who remember the old world would be a liability to Tsukasa, while Senkuu can still work with the "primitives", by impressing them and improving their lots in life. Yeah, Senkuu could have gotten poo poo done faster with modern people, but the primitives aren't nearly as big a handicap to him and the modern people will be to Tsukasa. Tsukasa just isn't in a good position, and the longer things go on, the worse his position becomes. He's going to have to act soon.

I don't think Tsukasa cares about technology itself, he just doesn't want to recreate the old world. So if he can still maintain his paradise with some technology he'd probably use it.
