Last chapter of Seven Deadly Sins was pretty good. Is it winding down or just this arc? They keep talking about the Climax and such.

Reborn is great as long as you stop after the Varia arc. I read it to the end and while there are cool bits scattered throughout mostly it just gets convoluted and dumb and has the worst non-ending to a shounen I've ever read.

I forgot about Reborn and for basically good reason. :(


I've read pretty much anything I can find. I forgot to mention Seven Deadly Sins, Magi, Fairy Tail, JoJo, World Trigger as well.

UQ Holder should hold me off for a bit though since Negima's later fights were pretty drat good.

Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba (of Bakuman and Death Note fame) are back with a new cutesy series about an angel and a human. Hmm... that sounds familiar. The serious knob got turned up really quickly there :stare: Very similar setup to Death Note, except Ryuk is a naive angel and the mechanics work differently. The main story premise sounds like it should explore some different ideas though.

Well :stare: I've got a feeling this will be really interesting if they don't write themselves into a corner again.

My Hero Academia is the latest hot poo poo I'd say. Magi has also gotten fairly good again with its latest arc, if you feel like diving in again though if you didn't get through the long flashback arc I'd forgive you if you don't feel it's worth the trouble.

Magi is also in its final arc so catching up is something you can do slowly.

If it's true, it solidifies my theory that smart shounen series can't work :( Hunter x Hunter and World Trigger both go on Hiatus. One Piece, while more simple than the HxH and WT, is slowly killing Oda because the dude won't stop. "Mindless" stuff like Bleach and Naruto just moved along and finished fine. :sigh: We can't have nice battle manga :(

Well then, the extra chapter of We Never Learn that dropped today (19.5) is really something. And I'm unsure as to whether that "something" is good.

Chapter 20 was cute at least. It's something I'd actually watch even though I'm sure it'll end up being an infinite harem or Fumino will win.

I really have fallen for this series, they're running a promo in Japan right now where you get a bookmark of one girl packaged with Volume 3 and I almost bought three copies to get them all.

Furuhashi's faces or Rizu being ultra cute are making it real hard to choose my favorite :derp:

Fabricated posted:

Jujutsu Kaisen revealed a bit more of it's general emotional hook/lesson/theme/whatever which is pretty interesting I think for a shounen.

By emotional hook/lesson/theme I mean the sort of core I guess driving things that isn't the premise?? I'm at a lack of words for it. Like, Horikoshi for example says that the big theme of My Hero Academia is the student/teacher relationship. One Piece focuses a lot on dreams. Noah's Notes seems to be appreciating history for what it can show you about the future, etc. etc. There's usually a theme like that outside of the usual WSJ "Friendship, effort, victory" thing.

Jujutsu Kaisen's is basically, "How to die well." The protagonist's grandfather passes away in the first chapter and his last lecture to him is basically, "Live the kind of life so that when it's your time to die, you're surrounded by people you love and whom love you." The nasty curse he consumed was part of a larger one, and he's a rarity in that he can control it. The bodyparts that make up the curse are insanely, insanely nasty, cannot be contained, are constantly getting stronger, and cannot be destroyed as they are. The parts he eats however become part of his body, and if HE dies the curse actually dies with him. He's given the option of dying right there on the spot, or finding and consuming the rest of the curse and THEN dying (thus eradicating this normally unstoppable curse). The protagonist agrees to the latter obviously, thinking that'll be how he "Dies well".

Jujutsu Kaisen's premise according to this post starts out heartwarming and then immediately makes a 90 degree turn into :wtc:

The main villain squad are anthropromorphized curses, the culmination of peoples hates and fears of such things as the ocean, volcanoes, forests.
Their leader is the fear and hate aimed towards other people.
