I binged this over 2 days, holy gently caress Christ I almost died twice, both because of Reigen. All that build-up and then bam, he just stole the show. I was a little disappointed in his showdown against the boss though.

Yeah, I know that when I read it, I started laughing, not go all "oh poo poo"

Also nobody in the anime thread caught onto the detail that the boss was coming next month, not today.

I am absolutely digging how into it they are though.

While that was perfect, I was curious if the episode preview would ruin it. In short, it is the greatest loving episode preview I've ever seen in my entire life.

The exorcism arc was my favourite it was real good

Reigen is very strong in that arc.

I know, but Reigen is still strong in that chapter. The way he calls out the spirit and is much calmer than everybody else is inspiring and why I can't peg him as a conman.

It helps that I got immense respect for the man from earlier, but I expected it to take a dive, not escalate. It made the later scene so empathic.

Will this be the final arc? It kinda feels a little weaker than the last arc so far. I trust in ONE however.

I feel like, as weird as it might sound, is because ONE actually understands friendships and is drawing upon actual experiences, while most manga artists never had time to develop bonds, thus their friendship messages fall kind of flat.

I've heard people praise that show outside of SA, but the thread on these forums convinced me it was a hot pile of garbage. I do recommend reading that thread, at least the op, but I can't fit the life of me understand why it gets any praise.

This manga might be the most perfect thing I've ever read.

Start to finish with a clear goal and no dips in quality, somehow.

There were times I thought it was going to unravel. I was surprised each time.

Thing's winding down, we can stop pretending that Mob wasn't his mentor the whole time.

The thing about a master-student relationship is that a student can teach his master just as much as he can teach his student.

Reigen taught Mob valuable life lessons that will determine how he becomes an adult, while Mob taught Reigen about the supernatural, while they were both pretending it was the other way around.

Nah, I love his character, I just dislike basic bitches who are incapable of acknowledging the fictional character they like has flaws.

Uh, but everyone here is aware of his flaws. The only thing I see is people celebrating his flaws as real flaws rather than superficial flaws often seen in characters.

Ok but you're leaving out the part where he then charges those people 10-100 times what would be a reasonable price for the service he provided.

No, this is a good thing. This manga will end on a high note, and doesn't stretch itself thin.

This is a goal more mangakas ought to inspire to, instead of making another Dragon ball, One Piece or Naruto.

All this Reigen stuff, I feel utterly spoiled, I am so giddy.

I still feel it was really rude of them to ruin Reigen's book like that. The fact that it was fictional would have protected their identities better.

All that's really missing is a black screen saying six months pass, I think the general idea got across.

We don't need to kill cats here and I don't think it's fair to assume this means they won't have the chops to pull off the scene of Mob burning his parents or anything else.

They played the horror straight with the Shiratori twins and this was simply not the time for gratuitous animal abuse to be in a show.
