Nah, it has a bunch of very good arcs that have nothing to do with tournaments. Its just that the hiatuses began in the middle of the big squad battle tournament arc, so it has been stuck for like several years on it and that kinda leaves a lasting impression. A bit like "are they still on boat?" for Berserker.

there are two big alien invasion arcs, one right before they start the tournament stuff and another in the middle of it. if you're starting the series now like i did, it's probably helped a lot by being bingeable since i didn't really mind the tournament stuff. also it's basically at the tail end of the tournament now

I was reading that Gotoubun manga people mentioned earlier (I'm at chapter 20), and I feel preemptively bad for Miku, since she's totally doomed. Also, Itsuki and Nino seem like basically the same character, only Nino has the tsun turned up a few notches in comparison with Itsuki. I don't really give a poo poo about Yotsuba and Ichika is alright but doesn't work as a romantic option. I also think that Itsuki and Nino are the only ones with a chance of being the recently-mentioned ~girl from the past~. Normally I'd place Itsuki as the obvious "winner," but Nino has been clearly pushed as the "most difficult" which is also important in terms of figuring out these things. I think one of the things that seriously bugs me about most harem series like this, which We Never Learn mostly averts, is that it's impossible for me to not feel terrible for all the obvious "loser" characters. I can't see an outcome (that isn't terrible, like an actual "harem ending") that doesn't end in a way that is really depressing to most of the "loser" characters. We Never Learn has avoided this partially by only have two characters who are actually romantically invested in the protagonist to any significant extent (swimmer and glasses). It also helps that We Never Learn is primarily a humor manga, while this feels like it's primarily romance. edit: Okay it seems like this might actually have a "he ends up with all of them" ending, which would be very dumb. Also I retract Nino being a contender; she is clearly not The Girl From The Picture. Itsuki is obviously the main girl. edit2: Okay, Nino gets a lot of credit for actually subverting the typical "lol he didn't hear the confession" trope and just repeating it. It's a shame that's she's also probably doomed. Also, now that I'm caught up, I'm genuinely confused about who the girl in the picture is. Normally I'd say Itsuki, since she's the obvious choice for "main girl," but that doesn't seem to fit. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Nov 3, 2018 |

What a god awful dad.Also Nariyuki's sister's gimmick is poo poo and like the one glaring unnecessary thing in the series but she is cute. His other siblings have the right idea though, hurry it up Nariyuki.

In the couple of early We Can't Study chapters I read some jokes were made about the sister being romantically interested in her brother. I thought they were just jokes. Then I got distracted and stopped reading and only remembered the series again with this chapter. Turns out they weren't jokes. Does anyone know what's up with Japan and incest fetishes? Like, is this a real thing that gets traction over there? I mean I assume it is since it pops up so frequently.

Then I got distracted and stopped reading and only remembered the series again with this chapter. Turns out they weren't jokes. It dates back to an old practice where land-owning families with too many sons (don't wait to keep breaking the land into smaller and smaller pieces) would have one of them adopted by another family for the explicit purpose of marrying into that family. So you'd have a brother and sister being raised together, and then later getting married, but it's okay because one of them is adopted! Naturally this is then depicted in stories, which influence culture for generations, even long after the actual practice itself has died out.

I felt so bad for the author because of how much potential the story had and it was horrible timing because World Trigger had an anime going that was actually enjoyable (Toei aside) and popularizing the manga. It even had a filler arc that worked really well! It's charming and unique with good execution and honestly, all the goofy plot points in the setting are pretty easy to suspend disbelief for because of that. Mostly because the author did a decent job of giving the reader pretty good expectations for when the plot does eventually open up. I'm going to reread it soon so I'm pretty hyped for wherever the story is going to go now! It'll probably keep moving super slow but hey, I never expected to see any new content at all.

The best part about World Trigger coming back was that they jumped right back in. No recap or action heavy chapter in order to capture interest of new readers. Just BAM! Straight back into a full length talky talky chapter. Because damnit, that's what works for this series and this is what the fans expected.

I like the side cast in WT because even though I can't really remember their faces they all have casual quirks and mannerisms that really help distinguish them, and you get lots of fun banter within and between groups. It feels makes the whole place feel a lot more lively and somewhere where people congregate, rather than just a setpiece where the main characters happen to be at.

Is Seraph of the End still worth getting into? I read a handful of chapters ages ago but kind of fell off it due to being busy. I liked it but no reason to get re-invested if it took a huge nosedive or whatever.

Yeah, I couldn't distinguish them when I first read WT, and then I reread it a while back and now I know who most of them are.

It hasn’t really taken a nosedive it’s about what it always is though you will have to have a high tolerance for the word family in the middle chunks. As it’s repeated a lot. It cools down a bit later but man. Also Micheal or whatever loving sucks as a character because he is so single minded.

Mashima literally writes like some deep learning algorithm that had every 90's battle shounen and ecchi manga thrown into it. EXPOSITORY CHARACTER: AH, YES. THIS CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING REMINDS ME OF THIS SPECIFIC NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL MAIN CAST MEMBERS AND MCGUFFINS WE MUST COLLECT TO START THE FINAL ARC. Everyone Else: i have no idea what you're talking about but i won't ask you to actually explain any of the important stuff you kinda alluded to in case we decide to change stuff later New Main Cast Member: I have arrived but my motivations are entirely unclear. This does not matter because your leader is shounen lead archetype, "Happy Idiot who wants friends" Villains: We're just cartoonishly evil, we'd normally kick a puppy or something here but the additional non-shounen data we have indicates we must imply something rapey and maybe make the female lead's boobs pop out Female Lead: Kyaa!! I'm helpless since we're not enough arcs in for me to have the weakest badguy with a nametag to get an unsatisfying win against!
