MHA's world and character concepts have always been more interesting than its plot, and imo the quiet and/or small character moments are often much more compelling than the fights (which, after a certain point, inevitably degraded into "can he punch...even harder?"). a manga entirely of room comparisons and school festivals would probably have been much more fun to follow, whereas now MHA has entered the realm of Shonen Ending Nonsense where we have to drag out the final fight by months just to arrive at the same setup everyone's been predicting since the beginning. there is still a way for horikoshi and SJ to salvage the good elements and jettison the lame: give us Sugarman's Springtime of Youth

Ryaomon posted:They absolutely are but for some reason rather than even try to attempt to give them characterization the author is just speedrunning to the end while occasionally glancing at the popularity charts. I mean the reason why is obvious. He’s been doing it for 7 years and the weekly Jump grind is actually soul crushing. Togashi just up and rushed YYH to the finish line because he couldn’t stand the grind anymore. I’m honestly surprised more authors don’t push back on the terrible work conditions Jump imposes on them. Oda is the only one who actually seems to enjoy it and well... given his general health I don’t think he’s someone to emulate in that regard

Oda only does chapters 3 out of every 4 weeks on average (actually less because of holidays/"double issues"), but they are so crammed full of content I question if it is actually any less demanding. He should just lower it to one chapter every two weeks and so should everyone else in Jump, just alternating twice as many series every other week, there is always enough authors trying to run a series in Jump so it is totally possible and it would be more healthy for the industry.

If only there was a story to MHA but that focused on a smaller and more developed cast of characters. One that had street-level adventures and smaller but more personal stakes. Maybe revolving around vigilantes.

Great news, as of 5 minutes ago, there's 212k fics for MHA on AO3. If you're willing to sort through a lot of chaff (and porn) then you can definitely find the better version of MHA you want.

SpacePig posted:Tricking All for One into thinking he's talking to Aoyama but it being Shinso would actually be pretty cool I think. That would be a super cool plan but I can only imagine he'll go "Ah but actually, since I'm now two guys your quirk can't tell who you're talking to!" *craps out 30 minor-character eating grizzly bears*

I'm almost positive those chapters with the cultists at the very end was a 'springtime for hitler' (making it look like an earned attempt while going out of your way to make it bad) deal. Though I liked the closing chapters after that, running through all the characters' lives, even minor ones from the Dark Tournament.

It's just moving the points of propulsion to a different body part. It's as much a new power as Alien Queen putting acid on her arms and then hands.

Nice, I assume the regular series is on break this week? Also, I know a lot of anime/Japanese TV in general takes a break for New Year’s but does that apply to manga releases as well out of curiosity? In regards to Vigilantes, this fight is just going to keep escalating like this forever at this point isn’t it (Knuckleduster Style is cool though) Larryb fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Dec 24, 2021 |

The main manga will end next year, and this fight will still be going on, with Crawler extending his quirk a 15th time, while Number 6 morphs into his 20th form.
