Manga |OT|: No matter how I look at it, it's discord's fault we're not popular

If the series does continue I hope Arthur comes back so that all the buildup he got doesn't end up being a complete waste
The Seven Deadly Sins
I went into 310 thinking that it would be the final chapter and that I'd finally be free from this train wreck of a manga but alas the shit show continues onward. Though I'll admit that twist got me good I wasn't expecting that to happen after everything which had occurred beforehand. Kinda curious about how much longer this series will go on for now.

Not gonna lie, this was me when Elizabeth got literally Wile E. Coyote'd by that rock.

Man if this sticks and the whole epilogue was bullshit bait and we're gonna get another full arc this is Kubo tier master trolling.

The current arc of Grappler Baki is probably the best it's been in years. Seeing a brand new character taking on some old favorites before finding himself before Baki himself who is acting more like his dear old dad is not a surprising take considering how long the series has been around but it is refreshing.
Yeah, when I saw that i was "Holy Shit lol"
He pulled a sneaky on us
Nakaba TOLD US it was the climax. Fucking hell, he told.us, but we decided to omit it.
Hajime no Ippo 1261
What a fantastic chapter, wrapping up one of the best fights in a long time.

So damn proud of Mashiba. Fuck you Marron.

Ehh it was obvious. Manga ends end of summer as he said so around September. Only thing i am shocked about is how he extended the plot, but there are enough open plot points that also have to be resolved. The question is if 20 chapters are enough for Mel to get revenge on the SD and let her rezz Eliz. But the page turn was masterful and brutal.
Hearing about what happened in Seven Sins sounds hilarious.
Kaguya 148
This is depressing. I didn't sign up for this. Prez is overthinking things as usual.

Ichika, you made your bed, now sleep in it. Also, lol at that "we played cards one night as kids, I think I fell in love" garbage. I thought this manga was better than that. I knew that the other sisters were assisting Miku with her date, but I hope Miku will be able to stand on her own two feet after this arc. She's been carried by her sisters this whole arc.
Also what the hell happened to that stalker plot line?

36. And one more chapter needed to fill what's to be Vol. 37.
So 28 more chapters would make it to 40.
Bloom into You vol 1
I think I complained about this months ago when I first bought this volume but this thing Seven Seas does where they bold and italicise the shit out of things really bugs me. It's not that I object to its usage generally because it looks great when comics and graphic novels do it, but frankly I think they are really overusing it in this. I can't remember if every one of their releases is like that and god, I hope not.
It especially doesn't work for something like this which is fairly gentle in tone and suffers immensely from people randomly emphasising words in their sentences. Save that shit for important dialogue!

Hitorijime my Hero continues to be one of those BL where the first volume is kind of lame but then the future ones just seem so incredible just because of how it started. Still sometimes it can get kind of messy whenever older Oshiba's friend's get any sort of time, but there moment when they finally confronted both him and Setagawa about their teacher student relationship did finally make the character's work.
VOlume 3 easily best of the volumes.

Received some stuff from France :D
I found a smallish store that sends overseas for only €6 so I gave it a try. You can tell it's a small store (the address was even handwritten haha), but the packaging was very good, much better than Amazon fr – the manga are still pristine.
Akira volume 5 is a gift for my brother (this is an ongoing re-edition, I already got him the first four volumes a few months ago and I'll get the last one when it comes out). This thing is absolutely massive though, it's literally the size of 4 normal manga stacked together (twice the area, twice the thickness) lol
Excited to read Lost Children volumes 2 and 3 too, I really enjoyed the first one (made a post about it about a month back).

Cheering was great, especially when the outfits were revealed and Touma just had to get a picture. But then the ending, cute.

You can't be serious with this thing with Ichika man. lol She pretty much redeemed herlself in the last two and this one. Of course she (Negi) made her bed, that was her entire development after being selfish for the first time due to Yotsuba and then seeing that she exaggerated on it and that she was in the wrong for what she did. Which is one of the motives for why she's the best character on this manga along Nino.
And "redeemed" in a way because what she did is easily forgivable when she see what she did. It's not in the level of drugging another person.
Level E (16 chapters) - Yoshihiro Togashi
Togashi's forgotten middle child between YYH and HxH. Though to be fair, it's pretty clear that he didn't intend for it to be a mainstream success. It's a passion project through and through. A mishmash of ideas and themes and characters with a very personal touch. The basic premise (numerous species of aliens are on Earth, and only the earthlings are unaware of this) reminded me at first of Men in Black. And the story structure (various story lines and characters) reminded me of the Twilight Zone.
You very much get the sense that it was Togashi writing what he wanted to write, telling the stories he wanted to tell. There are several progenitors to stories, themes, characters, etc. that would eventually show up in HxH.
As is often the case, the art can be inconsistent at times but nevertheless always clear with its intention (below are some of my favorite/noteworthy panels).
Given the length, it's definitely worth checking out, and I hope that Viz picks it up one day for an official release.

These are the double-page spreads you long for.
Another with mostly text, but:
it's immediately followed up by this page, which is extremely effective.
Can you tell Togashi loves coming up with games?
Great horror vibes from these.
And then the three author comments from the volumes (as somber as usual lol).

Never said she didn't or can't redeem herself. I don't even dislike the angle they took with her in this arc, it made her more interesting.
Fuutarou no longer trusts anything she says, which she brought upon herself. Hence, the "made your bed, now sleep in it". She's now feeling the consequences of her actions.
I see, I interpreted wrong then, sorry haha I agree with you.

SE are doing to start publishing directly in English with Penguin-Random House. Wonder what this'll mean for Yen Press. I think a large chunk of their catalog are Square Enix titles.

I suppose this means they'll focus primarily on Kadokawa Shoten titles from now on then, but who knows. Maybe Square will allow them to keep the titles that they already have.
Yeah I meant for new licences. I don't think SE could talk licences before the expire unless they put out a new edition like their doing with Soul Eater.
The TOC is more of a promotional thing than ranking tbh, except for newer manga. Which is why Dr. Stone is up there all the time but in sales it's only above Yuna, Hinomaru, Chainsaw Man and manga that just debuted, for example.
But you can be sure that Chainsaw is going to live, it's selling well for a newer manga with over 30k in two weeks in it's second volume. It also got many reprints so it's probably above what they and the bookstores expected as well.

Chainsaw Man is a breath of fresh air for Shonen Jump. It almost feels like an experiment for them.
