Blue Box is the spiciest vanilla love triangle I've ever read. This chapter had the most wholesome tension that nobody in the triangle has really picked up on yet.

Only Taiki's best friend is aware of the triangle and of course he stays quiet because the manga needs to be long
At least both girls are in some level of awareness of their jealousy towards the other.
Oh, right. I still wasn't ready for her to go from 0 to 100 like that lol
ONE and Murata just can't help going back and redoing entire sections of the series. I think they're going back to new chapters but even those release erratically.
I'm confused on the redoing entire sections part. They go back and redo stuff that's already been redrawn?
ONE still writes and story boards things so I believe it's mostly on him but feels like he didn't really plan any of the longer term aspects of the story out and the redraws are adding info or making certain aspects far more explicit. It's pretty damn sloppy if you ask me especially when there is so much added or padded material even before the redraws. This arc has been going on for like 8 years now.
For example Phoenix dude vs Kid scientist or BDSM mind control woman vs Sweet Mask were remade. Some of it was I think to better align it with original webcomic (like, I think Sweet Mask doesn't massacre the mind controlled people now). One of these was remade twice IIRC.
The redraws have done faaar more to distance the manga from the webcomic. The Phoenix Man fight was over in like 2 pages in the web comic and he's got multiple forms among other things added in for the manga.
I keep hearing this and I'm honestly skeptical, because just the tone and pacing were FAR different from Mob Psycho and OPM, which very much sound like ONE whereas the Murata version doesn't anymore
The gratuitous amounts of fan service are definitely Murata's addition. It's a collaboration project but from how it's been described ONE is still the lead on a lot of elements outside the actual art itself.
Not gonna die on this hill but it's the redraw changes to og murata versions that matter to the argument, not the differences between One's and Murata's versions, which yes (I assume) are always a plenty. The phoenix fight was comparatively lengthy to webcomic in each Murata instance and the last redraw afaik added long term characterization for Child Emperor (his qualms about hero org) just as the newer Sweet Mask stuff smoothed his edge. Both I assume are gonna come up somewhere in the future, sweet masks' arguably already did.

I found this pretty boring and I'm not really a fan of the character designs. I guess we'll see where it goes. I probably would have rather had more Candy Flurry
JJK 159
This was good but I'm still not loving the direction the series went in after the Shibuya arc. Maybe it's because I got into it late just as the Shibuya was ending and binged everything so now I'm just impatient, but the series just felt much tighter to me before. We've had a bunch of mini arcs and the main cast has been sort of sidelined. When is the last time Kugisaki appeared?

I'm really enjoying this and the art is fantastic. The series feels pretty grounded which is nice. I hope it sticks around.
Red Hood 11
So many characters, so little chemistry. I liked the start but I'm just not really enjoying this and the pacing is off. Why are we spending so much time in a series about fighting giant werewolves on people fighting other people?
Blue Box 21
Nothing new to add, but this is my current fave. I like how Taiki is not a total ditz. Just a very cute series and the art is fantastic.

To be blunt most of the stuff added has been of little interest to me and just feels masturbatory at this point. Like who gives a fuck about all the Tank Top people?
I literally just found out one of my favorite martial arts series is finally getting released later this year.
The Breaker is finally coming back. Bro I remember reading this series back in High School like goddamn. This series had a worse hiatus than Hunter x Hunter lol.
Edit: Went back to previous threads and I saw phaze mentioned me back in Jan 2021 in regards to The Breaker coming back lol.

Oh sure, I agree wholeheartedly.
AquaWateria has me on ignore confirmed.
Piano's artstyle remind me of D. N. Angel a lot. That older late 90s/early 2000s style of fluffy hair that goes thru the eyes.
JJK yeahhhh the plot has just been so disconnected and it loses me a lot. I forgot which series I was reading this ch :x Got weird after blue eyes got sealed up. How long will it be till he comes back? Will he?
Gojo isn't coming back any time soon. It would defeat the entire point of sealing him in terms of the narrative and much of the story currently is based on everyone running wild with him out of the picture.
He made things interesting tho :x Especially with most of the main cast gone, too. Anime-watchers are sure going to be pissed when they find out that a popular char like him is gone for a long period of time (as well as all the heartache from Shibuya).
Except most of the really interesting stuff didn't involve Gojo in the slightest. That and I'm not sure I get the complaint about the main cast not being around when they've been the focus for the majority of the mini arcs after Shibuya.

Tbh I have no reason to use the ignore feature lol.
I just have been on hiatus.
In regards to JJK I kinda fell off it after the Shibuya arc especially considering how much the main cast is getting sidelined.
It sucks too considering I got a lot of enjoyment from Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi interacting and working together. It's why Origins of Obedience is one of my favorite arcs in JJK. Now we have Nobara mia and other characters that I really do not care much for getting focused on. The arc with Naoya felt not only rushed to me it also lacked a lot of focus. It was supposed to be the arc to give Maki greater focus and development, but instead it felt out of place and made me care less for her.
I'm not sure if Gege taking lots of breaks affected his workflow and is the reason why everything after Shibuya feels incoherent in terms of pacing. It's weird going really high on the series to now being meh on it.

"She was in a car accident, she's fine but is recovering in a hospital" seems like a good excuse to cover for any injuries Yor sustains during this fight.

I'm a sucker for underdog stories where it's hard work versus natural talent but the character designs on the other hand, wish that hair could be contained

I hope not. She just started thinking that Loid would be okay with it if he knew she was an assassin. Would kinda suck to go back to the status quo after such a long arc.
I agree with you there, but at the same time, I feel like this series is too reliant on the status quo for anything major to change.
Spy X Family 53
Interesting stuff. I wonder just how Yor will explain all these injuries/cuts.
I really like how powerful she is-

but my otp was canon and that was all i need, still wish we had actually drawn chapters of how they discussed getting together and being a happy couple, and all before we got the final chapter.
Domestic life bonus chapter was what i'd really, really, wanted more of.
I think that the best outcome here is that Yor *mostly* covers it up with like some kind of Garden super-healing stuff, but misses something or flubs her lie, which causes Loid to get suspicious of her. Mostly a reset back to status quo, but with a new plot angle. Don't really see any need to rush things along, but it'd be nice to see the mutual deception start weakening.
I would be pleasantly surprised if there was some kind of new angle with Spy x Family. I think Yor will probably just say there was an accident or something and Loid will just accept it at face value. The series formula has been that after moments of intensity we reset back to the status quo and the lighthearted family/school stuff. Which I greatly enjoy!
I think if Loid and Yor ever find out about each other, it will probably happen at the very end. I could also see an ending where they both retire and ride off into the sunset as the Forger family, with both being non the wiser about the other.

My theory is we're gonna end up in a scenario where Twilight is tasked with taking down the Thorn Princess and Yor is tasked with assassinating Twilight.
I liked it up until Ch. 44. Started out extremely strong, meandered a bit in the middle, then 44 happened and it destroyed all good will it had built up. I forced myself to finish it because it was so close to the end, if it wasn't for that I would've dropped it then and there.
Been reading Witch Watch and it's kinda frustrating. At times, the writing is great. It's the exact kind of warm blanket thing I was looking for where characters don't just linger in frustrating circumstances, no conflict lasts too long at all (at least so far), and there's a surprising dose of sincerity in what otherwise could be a pretty cliche premise.
But then, because every chapter so far has been entirely self-contained, and some of the chapters have just been . . . one-page nice moments that are stretched across 20 to fit that form.
I'll probably keep reading for now because hey, I already pay for Shonen Jump. But my initial enjoyment has been dampered a bit.

Watamote SE Booklet
Kinda neat. A continuation of the previous Special Edition where it shows the "what-if" scenarios of Tomoko joining different cliques.
Also, a popularity poll and favorite "friend" pairing poll.
Not really a lot of surprises there except for Yuri actually beating out Tomoko for the number one spot and Sachi being so high up.

Just got back from a trip in Napa and it's wanting me to get back into reading Drops of God, even better since it's free with with my Amazon Prime subscription via Comixology.
I read a few chapters of it a while back, it's a fun read on how it turns wine tasting into an adventure...I'm pleasantly surprised it's getting an international live-action adaptation, really hoping it turns out well.

‘Drops of God’ U.S.-Franco-Japanese Manga Adaptation Begins Production (EXCLUSIVE)

Pretty much everything that came out of Shingo's mouth was utter garbage, as well as Kensuke espousing some real misogynistic bullshit.
Theres also the whole using sexual abuse trauma as an excuse for homophobia, and Shingo's entire "Well aren't you the real bigots for not tolerating his intolerance?" argument.
Finished reading it on kindle unlimited a while back and I was very amused to see once I finished it their is a sequel series with about as many volumes.
