I'm glad I started reading this thread because I had totally written off Undead Unluck after the first two chapters. Once more characters started to get added it definitely picks up. Although the series still has the problem that Andy kind of sucks as a character.

CodfishCartographer posted:Mashle was losing me for a bit with some of the more serious chapters, but the last couple have definitely gotten me back on board again. I think it's weakest when it's trying to be a more traditional fight manga, but when it embraces its comedy for its fights it hits a lot harder, both in terms of laughs and in terms of drama in my opinion. When it tries to get too serious (mostly with side characters) then it kind of starts falling flat because they aren't really well developed enough to get that invested in, and their fighting styles aren't all that interesting to watch. I do kind of wish it would go back to the more comic early chapter style though. Also the first episode of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime made me finally get up to date with the manga. It'll be kind of weird when they get to this part in the anime because an arc that has taken almost a year is definitely going to go faster when it is animated.

Been reading Shaman King and while I like it as a whole one thing that is super gross that keeps coming up is Ryu's attraction to "younger" girls aka children while he's a grown rear end man.

Lt. Lizard posted:It is something that bears repeating, especially if that author has currently running series. More power to anyone who can detach the work from author enough that they don't mind, but it's a dealbreaker for a lot of folks (me included) and not everyone is automatically aware about it. Yeah, I read through all of Toriko earlier this year and if I had known this I wouldn't have.

Just from having watched the 2011 anime the thing I didn't like about HxH is how often it would just get lost in the explanation of powers and abilities. Also I wasn't a fan of how after the initial arc Leorio and Kurapika just kind of wander off and aren't seen for large chunks of the series.

One plot point I hope the Demon Slayer anime eventually expands upon is the stuff with Zenitsu's rival. In the manga he just kind of appears out of nowhere, has a plot dump and then is defeated. It is one of the parts that feels like it was cut for time.

Cloks posted:I really appreciate that Jump is translating more and more currently running series because when i started reading the magazine, the US version was very carefully curated so it was a mix of proven hits and series that has already ended. There's no way that in 2005 they would've been simul-publishing stuff like Roboco or Nine Dragons or Sakamoto Days. Although the problem with this is you now get the pain of canceled series.

Hopefully a new adaptation can fix some of the manga's pacing issues at the end. It felt like it was just rushing to get through the story, at times almost like it was an abridged version of the plot. Also hopefully the new adaptation removes the creepy bits of Ryu hitting on all the preteen girl characters.

Alacron posted:So is there any explanation for why Golden Kamuy is on the SJ browser but not on the app? I thought that I would read that next but I get most of my comic reading done on my phone. It is rated "Mature" and the app doesn't do anything over "Older Teen." I'm assuming to get around age related app store issues since it avoids nudity.

Mashle's current arc started with his not having magic being revealed to the whole school so that's no longer a thing.

Anyone else think the art in Sakamoto Days took a real nosedive this week? The scientist guy in particular feels like a rough draft of a character drawing. I think I'm going to drop reading Blue Box since it doesn't really seem like anything is actually happening in it.

amigolupus posted:It's weird. 9 Dragons is an okay sports manga, but I feel like the dad's volleyball chapters in High School Family somehow have more heart in it. It is very funny how the volleyball stuff has just completely taken over the comic so that the other family members are basically side characters at this point.

Lily Catts posted:I read through 3/4ths of The Promised Neverland last week and really adore the softer, empathic shounen stories (I loved Kimetsu no Yaiba in particular). Anything else on Mangaplus/SJ that's in the running like that? If you haven't read it yet you might like We Never Learn which is a completed series on the SJ app about a high school senior who is forced to tutor two classmates in order to get a scholarship. Its very low key without a lot of serious drama and is mainly characters helping each other out.
