I'm not sure what I like more - JUSTICE HUG, or Max's holy-gently caress-would-you-two-get-a-room expression in one of the final panels.

I prefer Max's hand gesture in that panel. I don't know why, but that's the part that sells his reaction for me.

Also A nice as he seems, I'm not sure Doorman is on the up and up. 2 pages ago he was calling for 'Master' not 'young master' asking if they had succeeded and last page he told us he was expecting someone else.

Dude's hiding something.

I like that Isaac is obsessed with good and justice (as are the spirits in his life, in one way or another). When we were introducted to him he seemed like a selfish jerk, but it makes more sense now why he actually hangs around with the club despite hating them; They're an opportunity for him to smite some evil.

I've said it before but I'm so glad Isaac has turned out the way he has. He's basically the best possible 'partner' character for Max. He's got a similar sense of humor, but he's already invested in this and has a great moral compass deal compared to the most apathetic Max.

Looking at the first panel again, who are those people in the convenience store? Is the activity club doing a sleepover, or maybe some investigative "journalism"?

Strange beings sometimes wander into stores to buy things.

Also I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but see the [Pull] rope in the first panel and look what it's attached to upstairs.

Basically Issac:Spendor::Old Getter Team:New Getter team.

Vibe's gone nowhere since that end of chapter a month back? Seriously?

I really really really want to like vibe, but it's one comic a week and even then its pacing is all sorts of hosed. Seriously, we open with a single normal night in this dude's super hero life, he loses to a duder, and now suddenly FRIENDSHIP POWER UP! I didn't even know that Jeanne didn't act like they were friends before now. Or that the combining spirits is something they tried and failed.

It feels like I picked up a Shonen anime halfway through its run.

Yeah agreed. Max can't take on Johnny physically, Suzy apparently has blackmail on him (jumping through the bus I guess?) and Isabel looks like she's gonna put in him in a world of pain.

The Blackmail is him fraudulently activating the emergency alarms on the boss by opening the window, which is enough to get him in some trouble at school. Like a week of detention. Maybe. Suzy's not that bright.

Someone in the comments mentioned this page: http://paranatural.net/chapter-1-page-60/

In the 4th panel, he seems to be showing both light and darkness. Could be removing light though, I suppose.

The Light/Dark thing makes sense given his freak out the other morning when he thought it might be another yellow spirit. His Mind is a delicate Balance. So a Darkness spirit would make sense.

Spirits can't survive discorporated for very long. I imagine he plans to possess an item on the Ghost Train, or possibly a person. He might try Max and we get to learn more about Max's spirit.

If he does grab for Max it creates some really interesting stuff. Since Forge is aligned with The Doorman (Roughly) he's kind of at odds with the Magnet Snake.
