its not as if this comics weekly or even monthly

This probably would've worked as the gag I think it was supposed to be if Murata drew a lovely little plane with Psychos' face on it.

I mean if the manga caught up to the webcomic, then the obvious thing would be for ONE and Murata to just... work together on the manga from that point on. They're already doing this anyway, ONE storyboards a lot of the new stuff before Murata draws it, it'd just be with actual new content instead of additions to old content.

I would lose my entire poo poo if ONE stopped doing the webcomic

"There is no God! Right, Mama?"

"True."


When I remind myself that the entire premise of this comic is deriving humor from setting ridiculously high and serious stakes and then quickly defusing them, and the higher stakes equating to a funnier punchline, I start enjoying this kinda stuff.

If this comic was all jokes it wouldn't have as big of an impact. Heh.

This is such a weird manga to read, since I normally just skim through about 1 in 40 chapters to speedrun to the end.

I dunno if it'll recover though, with her in a fighter jet demon thing that doesn't look hot at all now.

I like to think it shows that despite all the power she has gained, she is still thinking like a human rather than an ultra-powerful monster psychic. Putting self-limits on her power is gonna bite her in the end.

It's weird because in any other manga a villain that morphs from some weird giant neuron monster into a squid for a moment to ink and then into a jet complete with a little human version of themselves piloting it would be like, pretty cool and creative, it's just that its the latest in a growing string of fakeouts that are serving little other than to pad things out. I think when ONE and Murata talk they regress into little kids and make jet and laser noises and clank figurines together until somehow an issue gets storyboarded.

I don't feel like all the extra stuff is going to feel like padding when reading these at more than one every couple weeks. That being said, I like a lot of the 'filler' because it has been pretty good at fleshing out the characters and stuff. The webcomic is pretty lean but I don't think the pacing of the manga is really throwing things off all that much.

I wouldn't mind half as much with how bloated some of these fights can be if I didn't read the webcomic. poo poo I've been waiting like two years to reach and it barely feels like we're closer.

I mean I think this would be bad pacing even if this wasn't an adaption. Like, all the fights in this comic are much longer than in the original but nobody was complaining last chapter because it was good and felt appropriate. Psychos creating a fighter jet is funny but this fight's just starting to drag. It's repeating the same ground, we've already had chapters of Psychos arrogantly assuming she's grabbed the advantage only for Tatsumaki to shut her up because despite all the power ups she's still so much stronger. Only difference is now Drive Knight's here.

It's not as bad as say the Phoenixman fight, if only because Tatsu is very cool and the fight feels like a bigger deal but Shonen comics often have issues with fights lasting too drat long and OPM also has that problem.

yeah, at this point it feels closer to a BLEACH arc. Way too padded to let the heroes get some good poo poo in. It's cool as gently caress, but the pacing is definitely bad
