Kagurabachi continues to be peak.

Good first chapter for Astro Royale. Learning that Ken Wakui essentially draws everything himself and uses assistants as little as possible makes me appreciate his art more.

Misaki-kun is Unobtainable

I've always wanted a harem series where the male harem center is actually gay and in love with the best friend character.
This isn't quite that, would've liked something that plays it more straight instead of just pure parody.

I think it's been done for female led harems, but never really seen it for male led ones.

Holy shit, I didn't realise the Ryoko Kui Daydream Hours Dungeon Meshi book was mostly in colour. No wonder it was so exxy.

It was only a mere four weeks but we are so back. Some Land backstory crumbs and a nice Ubel/Land chapter all around. They are really fun together.

Frieren! Caught up to the manga just in time for a new chapter! Gonna feel real weird to read it monthly (?) from now on though.

Does it?
I felt like it had a fairly constant release stream.
But I guess it's 4 years old, so that is true.

Miyuki's mom suuuucks
Nagisa is gay as fuck for Maki, dump Tsubasa and be togeth... holy shit nevermind.

Laaaame, I wanted to see Chika's endorsement speech, that would've been hilarious. Chika's final chapter was great.

Damn, I was enjoying Ai's chapter until it was all a dream. Everyone was so happy 😭😭

Miko and Yu's final chapters were soooo good. All that was going through my mind was:

Maybe Akasaka should drop Oshi no Ko and make a Miko-Sama: Love is War spinoff? 🤔

Miyuki did Mikado so dirty lmfaoooo

Well, these are supposedly from the final volume... but the SJ app doesn't have the very final chapter???? Weird as hell

EDIT: They added it a few hours later

Huh, that is weird. The whole volume is up, except for the final chapter. What's up with that?

EDIT: Wait, what if it's a way to get people to buy the physical volume?

I would storm Viz's office and throw hands if they pull that shit.

Imo the dream aspect is merely a framing device so the story can still focus on the present. So I wouldn't be bummed by that stuff not happening.
I'll take your word for it :(

Kengan Omega 257

Can we talk about Shen Wulong being one of the most interesting takes on the end game antagonist in a battle shounen. The fact that he is so incredibly go with the flow for a character that can no diff 99% of the cast without even trying is hilarious as it is an interesting change of pace. The guy is basically the ultra chill bro version of Yujiro Hanma. All he seems to want to do is split his brain in two and chill with the main cast.

The main characters just invite him to out and have some drinks with a mutual bro and he comes along without batting an eye. Then he proceeds to tell them everything over drinks including how they could theoretically defeat him. He even does some on the spot training with the protags! Then when he's going over his plan and someone objects because it would result in the deaths of two of the protagonists Shen just goes,"Oh shit I didn't think about that. We're not going to do that plan now."

I fucking love how chill this guy is despite him being nigh unstoppable and basically martial arts magic.

My Dress-Up Darling V11

I used to really enjoy this manga, but it's so damn confusing to read now. There are too many characters and when they all cosplay it gets really difficult to know who's who when they all look similar. Also, this series has really started spending WAY too much time on the fiction in the fiction stuff that inspires the characters to make stuff/dress-up.

Chojo has been beasting in those rankings. I think that's the safest we've seen a new series be in a while.

I quite like it, found it's comedic groove pretty quickly, and has just a pinch of Gintama energy

I liked Hotaru (the main forward on Kinzans team) design before he went to highschool, not gonna lie haha. It's the combo of facial hair and puffy hair that doesn't do it for me

Wonder how well volume 2 actually sells. Volume 1's numbers were respectable, hopefully all the good word of mouth and general high quality of the series carries it.

I finished Look Back in japanese again, still deeply affecting, the pure artistry on display makes me want to break down and weep. From a JPN perspective the hardest part are the news reports.

Kagurabachi and Nue's seem to rank low for "safe" series
It's getting two color pages in a row, it'll be fine unless sales for volume 2 fall off a cliff. It's been getting normal middle-of-the-magazine placement since chapter 11, maybe a bit lower than some other popular stuff but its numbers look nothing like a series that's actually in trouble.
