Eden's Zero 1

Really Mashima? I'll still read it but hopefully he can step out of his comfort zone during this series.

Tashiro-kun, Kimi tte Yatsu wa. 6 & 7

Still have mixed feelings on Sega-kun, I guess hes much better than he was at the comic market, but hes kind of like a questionable inclusion in the story when Tashiro and Ebihara were already great. But I guess he does put the pressure on to get Tashiro to maybe move a bit further on developing a relationship with Ebihara.

Kuzumi-Kun

...I kinda already thought Haruna and Ichikawa were already dating, but I guess they aren't? Way to drag out Kuzumi and Sakura doing anything, but then again, I guess they need time to have the popular hot guy hook up with the airhead gadfly friend.

Is anyone here reading the Captain Harlock English release? I'd like to get some impressions because I need to add more to my Amazon cart and it caught my eye.

I bought the first two volumes of A Bride's Story and wow, this is fantastic. The setting's pretty unique, the art is beautiful, and I like the characters. The hardcover is nice, too; Yen Press really outdoing themselves. It's probably why they're a bit more expensive, though.

To Your Eternity 71
Every time I think I know where this arc is going it suddenly veers in a different direction. Not in a great way for now, but there are enough ideas planted that I still thing it could come together well...

Except right now we have almost every living character we know in a prison (Immo's prison buried under the earth) save for kid in a barrel (and Kahaku?). Don't know how they get out of this. Will probably be upset if there is a time skip and Immo gets dug up in the future.

Edens Zero 1
Will be reading this for now in case WMR adds it. This is at the very least a way better chapter than Fairy Tail chapter 1, but I am a huge sucker the kind of story the robots had here with tricking him into leaving. Bummed the robot who kind of looks like Jack Frost had to go.

Hope to see Kodansha do more simulpubs early into a serialization (like for Orient), though this is almost certainly an anomaly due to Mashima's huge popularity.

Robot x Laserbeam -END

Aside from that winning shot, which was amazing. These panels where also great:

Sucks you can't have multiple sports in Jump tho. Manga at least ended on a good note.
Robert will not be forgotten.

Eden Zero

Seems alright, but the series is lacking that hook, that goal for the mc besides "explore space"
There is also the goal of making 100 friends!

To Your Eternity has lost me. It meanders in terms of the number of subplots that it goes through. We had a couple great characters like Firebreather and Owl girl, but then we get dud characters like Creepy scar lady's grand-grand-grand-grand children.

It's hard to get invested in the characters when we know they're gone after a couple chapters. She needs to stick with a certain timeframe and really flesh it out because I have no idea what the current end game is.

The villains also aren't very compelling; I'd rather see more deities like the Man in Black rather than playdoh zombies.

Detective Conan 1016:
Chiba is quite possibly the dumbest character in the series at this point. How much more obvious does it have to get, man? At least he should hopefully be realizing who Naeko is next chapter (although I've thought that before and then he doesn't figure it out because he's dumber than Genta). This case has been really awesome. Although the Amuro/Akai/Kudos stuff has kind of been put on hold (although we've gotten some scenes with both Akai and Amuro), the whole thing has been really captivating. The police focused cases are usually pretty strong, and I feel like this could wind up being up there with some of the best of them if the landing is nailed just right. And it's nice to see Akai meet Yumi, if only briefly. He should have a connection with his future sister-in-law.

Just finished reading Kazuo Umezu's Fourteen... Just pure fucking insanity. What kind of drugs was that dude on when he wrote this? I need one of the US manga publishers to pick this up and translate it. I would love to have a physical copy of the entire manga.

Hinomaru Zumou 196-197
So many chapters of this released lately, just about caught up. The finish with the match with Tenma was pretty brutal. I wouldn't want to be thrown by my neck. Long awaited match coming up next!
Jinou is the best, hope he doesn't change his mind lol. Pretty hyped for this. Might be counting on Dojikiri to stop Jinou from retiring.
but then we get dud characters like Creepy scar lady's grand-grand-grand-grand children.
Series got way too hung up on Hayase and her decedents.

Parallel Paradise (or: The Last Chad on Earth)

FCOdLgt.gif


I'm not even sure how I would describe this shameful trash even if I wanted to. It's such a brazen and over-the-top take on isekai I can't tell if it's just an insane wish fulfillment fantasy or some kind of satire. Basically, some dude goes to another world only to find he's not only the only male in the world, but all of the women in the world have "evolved" to become raving sexual lunatics who try to immediately fuck him on the spot if they even sort of suspect he's a dude.

The insane part is that the plot takes this all very seriously, despite the fact that MC fucks every single named character, generally with the absolute flimsiest explanations.

One Piece 909

Feel like Zoro wrecking shit with the dinky little knife is a callback to Mihawk using a 1 inch blade to destroy him

Zoro's done fucked up their plans. However, I will forgive him for one massive swing at culprit with a knife blade.

Boku No Academia 189

Hawks knew that Endeavor refused to "give up" because he was selected for Symbol of Peace regards that people was depend on him after All Might retired.

Looks like he just kept pushing to his limits and about to win in the next chapter.

The Promised Neverland 93

I didn't think this would be the kind of series where we would get a "I refuse to die" type of moment. It was ehhh. I feel like this whole thing could have been way more interesting. When the solution ended up being, "just keep shooting him" that ended up anticlimactic.

Golem Hearts 1-end

Super standard shounen with a neat enough premise that had potential, but didn't have enough time to find an identity. If nothing else, it's notable enough for just how abrupt that axe was. Like did they literally tell the guy after the penultimate chapter?

I feel like the last few chapters have decidedly moved away from the antics of Kuroko and her mismatched friends towards Kuroko and her groupies who are willing to do anything for her. It's one thing for her to be the center of her friend group, but when they start fighting each other to be the closest to her it becomes a little suspect. I could be just misinterpreting the whole thing, but preferred when the people around her did not just revolve around her.

Then again I never did like the original chapters so I might just not like the series in general.

How dare you.

Watamote now being an undercover yuri manga is absolutely fantastic, and I mean that with absolute sincerity considering what her life was like beforehand.

This... is not super great. But it has a very fit girl as the main lead and I will read it because of that.

How was it neat? Felt like one piece with golems and all other onepiece clones failed.

Was it as abrupt as RxL?

Eden Zero 2

Truck-kun fails at his job because he's in a Mashima universe.

And you can't be serious about having a clone of Erza Scarlet named Elcy Crimson. Like c'mooooooooooooon lol

I'll give Mashima props for making me intrigued into this sci-fi universe that seems waaaay big.
But... Elcy Crimson, really? Is he even trying with the characters?

The twist is that Happy got turned into a robot because he was killed by Truck-kun. Yes, they live in space, and Happy still got got by Truck-kun.

Not that it matters, he's identical as a robot as he was as a regular flying cat, both in this series and Fairy Tail.

Also, Happy's species aren't the Exceed in this. They're the Exxid.

Nope. It's identical characters with similar backgrounds. The only characters we have now are Natsu, Lucy, Happy and Erza with slightly different names.

It's even dumber that Erza is named Elcy because the original intent for Erza was that her name was "Elsa," (since the "r" sound could be either "L" or "R") but it ended up being "Erza" in English because fan translators had kind of stuck to it to the point the official translation couldn't go back on it.
