Kinda feel it got killed because the editors felt the exorcism wave is going out and wanted to open up a slot. There's already two more successful series with the same theme and we just came off a wave of failed ones. But yeah it's hard to say on some things the lineup as seemingly solid as it is. Heck I'd say build king probably got rushed to avoid risks after the act age fall out.
Considering how hard i Tell C is cratering it might be gone sooner than later.
Very true. There was some criticism early on about it being yet another exorcism story, but I think it still found its footing after the initial arc. That said, editor slant against certain manga is definitely a thing. Also on Build King, I'm surprised that has lasted as long as it has. It had a really rough start and is just now getting to become something worth reading.
It went from almost gag to straight action and it's very clear it's wrapping up with this extended backstory. It's been an okay read week-to-week, but nothing spectacular. i tell c was just bad from the start. Not even sure how that got greenlit unless they were desperate to fill in a gap.
I also agree with this, if some of the six new manga can't find their footing then Magu is more than fine. Not reading Nines, like Witch Watch enough, Sakamoto Days is also a gag and seems to be doing pretty well, and Elusive Samurai is different and interesting and is strongest of the bunch to survive. Basketball would be fine I think and I guess badminton is derivative enough of a sport that's already been proven to work before, i.e. Tennis, etc... but recently eh, audience tastes change. Yeah, can't remember when straight romance was a thing and while I prefer not dealing with harem it seems that's what people seem to want. I hope not but Blue Box may and can pivot to that.
I thought the writer wrote himself into a bad spot. Aibetsu was powering up way too fast.
Free yourself and drop i tell c, instead. I dropped it after 5 and haven't regretted that one bit. I'm done reading long series just because I am slightly curious how they'll end. It's just not worth it.
Oh, that's really cool. I recognized some in the OP, but not others.Just came across this picture showing that the OP for To Your Eternity references the manga covers. I've never seen something like this done before. Pretty cool!
I just cry all the time watching anything now. I remember going years without tears, and now I'm becoming a sentimental old man.
It's been boiling my blood all week. What a Fucking shitshow.
Honestly, I've been reading this and while I found the chapter annoying it kinda makes sense since Tadano is literally portrayed as "the super average dude." He's just happy to have someone like him. It makes sense that Manbagi wouldn't be down with that sort of thing and is probably going to confront him on it next chapter. If he really does like her and have no reservations about it and they still pull some bullshit then I'll get pissed.
makes sense, tadano needs to decide for himself and not just go with the flow
I'm not going to lie, the chapter literally had me go "WHAT THE FUCK, DON'T YOU LIKE KOMI?!?!"
It wasn't even -only- the backing away from Manbagi in the last freaking page is that this shit is just fucking forced drama shit. From this chapter it's CLEAR that even if Tadano and Manbagi do start "dating" it'll only be something temporary and Manbagi will realize that Tadano actually loves Komi and she'll end the relationship and "I love you Tadano-kun... that's why I have to set you free", cue 250 chapters of slooooooooow progress while the author introduces dozens of one dimensional quirky characters and Tadano slooooooooooowly realizes "oh yeah I like Komi!" And it ends as everyone has realized it'll end ages ago
I don't think they're going to go out precisely because Manbagi has grown as a character. She's a lot stronger than she was introduced. The old Manbagi never would have been able to confess, let alone call out Tadano here. She likes him and wants him to like her back, she's not the type of person that would date someone just because they went with the flow anymore.
Even if they don't go out it's still a fucking shitty thing that Tadano even accepted it.
Yeah, that coupled with the lack of any forward momentum in the plot was what was making it uninteresting to start with, I think. I was mostly in it for the art so far, but oh boy now we're actually going places.
I have only read the first volume, and it honestly has sounded like people were discussing a totally different manga the last few days.
It really saddens me. I used to recommend Komi to everyone. A cute romance manga with pleasing art and fun cast. But after 300(!!!!) chapters of meandering, one note new characters, old characters being flanderized to hell and back(Komi especially), and even the art looking really fucking weird sometimes(Manbagi looks like an actual alien 80% of the time) it just destroys my heart.
Not sure how many folks have Comixology Unlimited, but there's a limited time extra 50% off Kodansha books until 4/26. It stacks with whatever sale they've got active (i.e. What Did You Eat Yesterday? for $2 per volume) and pre-orders. You can do a trial for Unlimited if you've never done it before, also. (I have no idea why Way of the Househusband is in the banner...)
"didn't want to load up just because it's on sale" - haha who would do that... :|
The long break makes even more sense then.
I feel the same but this is what I've been waiting for, especially to tell if I want to continue with it.
