1-B's play sure crammed in a lot of references. Hound Dog is awesome, lol. After all the shit she has been through It was nice seeing Eri so happy and sneaky Deku making her that apple! It would be nice to see Gentle and La Brava/LoveLover reappear in the future with improved attitudes.
Dr. Stone 58
Kaseki is best old man, what a bro. Ginrou though, what a loveable idiot. The Kingdom of science certainly is making a lot of progress now.
Shokugeki no Souma 263
So that's the new Elite Ten and Headmistress taken care of. It's been quite the ride, I just hope they don't introduce a rival school to challenge so this doesn't get drawn out even more.

The author should stick to happy feelings chapter, he excels at that.

So how much longer do you guys think this will run. I mean usually on long running series we know about the ending in advance. Was this even the final arc?

School vs School?
World stage stuff?
idk if it does continue I would like more of them crafting their skills and character interactions akin to earlier in the series then for it to be another wave of non stop Shokugeki tournaments
I think if it does continue they had to put Erina in a position where she doesn't have to battle anyone. This arc just established she's too op if she fights seriously.
Continue so my SoTaku running the same diner together can be drawn by the artist. I need this to happen. Its been practically telegraphed since they met.
Soma 263
...where do we even go from here? Not sure how I feel about Erina being the new headmaster. She has good leadership skills, but to run the entire academy when she's 16? Should have gotten Alice's dad or something. Then again, this series has always been over the top, so this is just another crazy happening.

yeah pretty much this
she has a full paid job lol
it would've been way more amusing if Soma's Dad stole the position
I think there's still a ceremony for it.
Knew it was gonna turn out like this.
So, in light of Satoshi Mizukami's new series Planet With starting serialization, I've decided to go back and read the only big series he had I didn't check yet.
Sengoku Youko
So the story is split between 3 parts around the feudal japan era. Part 1 is around a Kitsune and a Human travelling and trying to redeem hateful humans and demons, with Jinka (the human) having the goal to eventually become a demon so he can be with Tama (the Kitsune) forever. The dynamic here is that Jinka hates humans while Tama loves them. During these travels, they pair up with a wandering Samurai (Shinsuke) and a half demon half human Girl (Shakugan). Eventually it devolves into defeating an order of monster slaying monks that are fond of human and monster body experiments. They mostly succeed, but Jinka is consumed by his desire to become a monster, and we have a time skip.
Part 2 is about Senya, a character that briefly showed up in part 1, and his struggle to contain the 1000 monsters sealed inside him. Of the old Cast, only Shinsuke remains with the occasional Tama appearance. We now have Tsukiko, a girl from the village where we start part 2, and Nue, a small water spirit detached from it's lake. They son find that something is turning the gods of the land mad, and they are attracted to Senya, who can't control his powers well. The internal struggle of Senya is really interesting and the biggest highlight of the series. It's great to see how he reacts to this massive horde that at times empowers him and other times tries to overtake him, but all characters shine in this part, everyone gets good developments and all play a role in the end. There is also traveling, but it has a better sense of pace and knows when to wind down. Eventually they reach Kyoto and meet the resident protective God and the Shogun who, again, is a highlight. This part ends in a very, very high note, in a climax in 2 stages that does justice to all characters involved. And a goddamn 5 page spread.
There's another 8 year time skip and then we are onto Part 3. The previous cast is now settled in a village that accepts humans and monsters alike, even reforming previously bloodthirsty demons. After coming of age, Senya and Tsukiko along with Nue leave the village to try and deal with what's turning the Gods of the land mad along with helping Tama redeem Jinka. This eventually escalates to the point where there's a massive army battle on the ruined temple grounds of Part 1's climax, perfectly weaving previous characters back into the narrative in great and surprising ways. Although i have to say, the final confrontation against Jinka is underwhelming due to many reasons, but mostly because there's really no bad blood between the two main characters, and you leave feeling like the story climaxed early with both the amazing fight between Dousuke and Kumozu and the spirit realm negotiations. Still, the 2-chapter epilogue is perfectly bittersweet and a great conclusion to the series.
I feel like this work doesn't have a story or characters as good as Hoshi no Samidare and especially Spirit Circle. I never really cared for the main cast of the first part, and that ended up undermining certain aspects of later parts. Thankfully there's great world building and secondary characters to redeem it, and as the previous images should have shown you the art is actually really really good, and by far Mizukami's best, with only the final arcs of Hoshi no Samidare and a single page of Spirit Circle to give it competition. The action is quite good, and a few of them do belong quite high in my ranking of favorite fights in manga, especially those involving Senya and his struggles. The twists and turns the story takes are classic Mizukami where he has everything planned and it ties up in a nice, satisfying bow.
Despite my criticisms, in the end I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading it, and i even feel like I should go back and read certain arcs again, and it earned it's way to one of my top 15, maybe 10 favorite manga works. After reading this, to me Mizukami is the most consistently great manga author, and I'll always look forward to any project he partakes in the future.

Thanks for the heads up about this. I'm curious but also mildly skeptical cause I'm not a big fan of JC Staff. Glad he's finally got an anime to his name so good for him. though not what I'd choose but I'm technically a fan of anime original productions so I'm at least mildly curious how all this is going to play out.
School still needs sorting out. We don't know who is going to be in what E10 spot. Soma and Erina still need to actually get together. We still need to see Soma's mom.
Have they even finished their first year yet? I imagine there's still some kind of event they can throw in.
Competition with a rival school
A freshmen class picked by Azami the way Soma's class was picked by Sazemon that starts a civil war to bring Azami's ideals back
Some teachers unhappy with a student being principal attempt a coup to over throw Erina
We can have another arc away from the school where Soma and co have to use their influence as e10 members to resolve disputes in other parts of Japan
Tons of ways you can continue the story
Gokushufudou: The Way of the House Husband 5

Man, she got railroaded hardcore. Poor HitomiHinamatsuri 77
Baki: Son of Ogre 1-240
the author's solution to his terrible portrayal of women was quite something: he pretty much removed any and all women from the story. Since there was only... one, didn't take much. in 240 chapters baki's girlfriend showed up... three times, and the bedridden morbidly, obese girlfriend of another Stronk Guy, another coupla times. That's pretty much it.
Pacing also went to hell, with fights easily lasting multiple books now. Bleah.

The Promised Neverland
Wow this series really has gone from strength to strength.
It's amazing how far it's come really.
It also has some of the best demon designs I have seen in anything in ages.
It sorta feels like not a lot of people are reading this either. Which is a shame.

Oh nice. Glad they are keeping with translating some jump plus series.
Dansan Joshi ch49.1
A rather unusual bonus chapter about Mizu Asato visiting the Battleship Island. An odd break from all the penises and hair jokes, but it manages to be informative enough in-between the author gushing about ruins.
Hinamatsuri ch77
Hitomi just can't escape, huh. At least she might have a more fun time now that she can be a little less restrained.

Just passing by for saying that i felt like i haven't read any Hajime no Ippo since Ippo's loss a few months ago, then an hour ago i turned to my usual site and found out they uploaded two new chapters just today! Then while i was reading they uploaded more! Amazing coincidence!
With that said
Hajime no Ippo 1205 - 1210
What can i say? The core of the series is now officially over, and the manga can now focus 100% on the side characters.
What an amazing, heartwarming send off to Ippo, i was worried he would be devastated, but him reacting as he came to peace with the matter, and how in the end not even Takamura felt betrayed or disappointed becuase after all you can't hate Ippo or his approach to boxing, was so nice. I was worried this would turn out as another Ashita no Joe.
Seeing Kamogawa realizing that he has not destroyed the kids live but actually improved it and can now face him peacefully, how the other boxers are accepting this much better than they themselves expected (with the exception of Miyata and Itagaki of course), seeing Kumi finally being able to express her feelings slightly more openly, and most of all Ippo's mom probably knowing right from the beginning that this would have only been a part of Ippo's journey through life (albeit an important one) was incredible.
Ippo and the coach reminiscing his career together?
Takamura asking what has Ippo gained from this adventure?
Ippo catching leaves one more time with images from the past?
This show has such a big fucking heart, man.

Wait until you get to the new chapters before you say he's gone. There's translated chapters beyond this.
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
I know this is a series about teasing but FOR GOD'S SAKE GO ON A DATE ALREADY I CAN'T TAKE THIS OBLIVIOUS CUTENESS
Komi-san has a communication disorder
I'm getting that feeling you get when all the really good jokes are the ones on twitter that got you into the series and there's not a huge amount left in the series itself. Komi's elegant vs derp art is still amusing though.
Just wish it didn't have yet another spineless male protag

Tower of God (start of this arc to latest)
God this series is so good. Bam is such a great protagonist and that last chapter was so good. Ready to see him kick some ass. Every time I read this series I wish we could get an anime out of it cause damn would it blow up.

Kaguya I was going to use that Ballin reaction but someone beat me to it.

Any suggestions for a "dungeon" setting manga ?
I guess in the same concept as Danmachi, but wondering if there's something out there with more"floor/level" progression through it.

Huh, i just discovered there are 10 more chapters to read lol
Interesting you say this, because Ippo's 'goodbye' seemed pretty definitive back there, seems weird he wants to take him back.
I hope it doesn't happen striaght away, maybe we see him coaching, or maybe he does come back, but only later on.
