He's transitioned from (soft)hentai manga artist, to fanservice mystery/thriller stories, into non-fanservice stuff.

His stories tend to have a good premise or a good mystery but he has trouble tying everything up and sometimes the twist at the end is really really underwhelming. If you can endure seeing a woman contort herself to show some T&A while being chased by murderers then go ahead and read his previous works.

Pretty much this. I liked Cradle of Monsters though. One of the villains there was just fantastic as was sword guy. Glad he's moved away from so much T&A though.

Looking at Dorohedoro, has this all been part of the head devil's plan to wipe out all the human devils?

I've been reading A Trail of Blood and I was surprised at how normal everything was despite the title. Then the main character's mom pushed his cousin down a cliff for no reason. Or maybe it was a hallucination and it was just an accident? Needless to say...I guess it's become interesting?

I'm reading this manga "A Trail of Blood" by Shuzo Oshimi and as far as I can tell the plot seems to be "this kid has a really unsettling mother."

edit: And also cousin, sorta? For some reason this comic reminds me of the time when I was 12 and visited my mom's cousin in Boston, who introduced me to these random older teens who lived nearby who lead me around town and smoked cigarettes that they pulled out of garbage cans (and tried to get me to smoke them as well). I remember feeling very uncomfortable with the situation.

edit2: Whoa, his mom just pushed his cousin off a cliff, I knew the other shoe was gonna drop at some point.

It all feels super weird and unsettling because the mom isn't doing anything too weird and yet there is a tension. It's remarkably uncomfortable to read.

I feel so bad for the kid in that. Like, since he's still a kid and it's his mom he doesn't really have any reasonable recourse. I'm going to be quite surprised if his love interest doesn't get murdered or something.

I'm kinda wondering where the story can go, though. Like, we get that his mom is creepy, but it's not clear where things can go other than continuing to show his mom being all crazy.

Maybe it's the kid that's crazy!

My feeling is that he won't say anything at all...then we'll have a time skip.

The characters' uncertainty about Kunikida's fate makes me think he's still alive. It will be bullshit if he isn't at least seriously injured, but Akiko can fix that, probably.

Speaking of Akiko, I wonder if she'll end up curing Mitchell's coma and/or Akutagawa's cough of death.


I don't think Kunikida or his hunting dog target died there. Any ideas how they're communicating outside the prison?

Hoping this one at least leads into a double-KO, but looks like the fights are kind of already getting into a pattern of "human looks to have an edge, God uses 'that move' that other gods have not seen in eons"

At least Lu Bu got to bring out a new move for that last charge. Thor just did his same move over again.

I legitimately have no idea where the gently caress this story is going. This kid is just basically screwed by his circumstances.

My guess?

Shigeru will not remember what happened exactly but the mom will still want to end him. Man, this was not the direction I was expecting this to go when I started it.

I just binged through Shuumatsu no Valkyrie, which was like watching three final boss fights in a row. Amazing stuff. My guess as to the end of the current bout: Hercules will realize he wants humanity to survive right before Jack sticks the last nail in his coffin.

Hercules said that he's opposed to ending humanity and will petition the gods to save humanity if he wins.

I suppose this brings up the obvious point that Brynhild is more about wrecking the gods than saving humanity. Good luck Geir!

Hella mean of you to make me like a manga whose last chapter was translated 6 months ago.

Also, more Shuumatsu no Valkyrie. The conclusion of the flashback.

It seems clear that Hercules' death will be the end of any possibility of peace between gods and humans. Given that, it feels safe to say that Brynhild, while helping humanity is not an actual ally to humanity.
