Okay, that new Kaiju no. 8 chapter is actually fantastic. I'd figured it was gonna be a mental block thing, but the reveal was really well done.
let me be the first to say you gotta work on it actively, dont buy into the fantasy just being there you'll absorb the language naturally!!! it helps but yeah i still have like 3 boxes of book-off manga i can't ready super well because i wasted like a year there lol

I love Mieruko-chan. The manga can feel legitimately creepy at times, and while there's a little too much Miko "bullying", it can be really heartfelt at sometimes(and funny as well).September 2021 Community Recommendation

From Aurica:
Yeah, I understand the challenges that will be involved. However, I can probably expect to do a bit of desk warming at my job, so I'll be looking to spend that productively instead of staring at walls. We'll see how it goes.
I really hope the anime does it justice.September 2021 Community Recommendation

From Aurica:
One thing I am curious about is if the tone down the sexualization of the first few chapters. While the situations they happen on aren't that out of place and are logical, compared to the rest of the manga it is pretty much gone. The reason for that is the pixiv origins so hopefully they tone down the first chapters a bit.

This series feels more canceled then Red Hood and Neru, and it's not even ranked. I got whiplash from how fast this chapter flew through things. This felt like it should have been chapters 3-6 or 7.

That was fucking metal and I'm all for it.
I couldn't even get through it, the art was hurting my eyes. Amazing how he accomplished that in B&W.

Blue Box isn't really doing it for me anymore. I was hoping for more of a balance between romance/sports, but they aren't doing a good job on the sports side of things like I feel no tension with the matches at all if they're going to skip everything. I do hope SJ finds a sports only manga soon.
The sports side of BB is just a framework for the romance and character drama. It was never going to be the focus.

Compelling fight will be exciting. Really curious to see how these two senior students are

This, also there still cool action shots so I am fine with it

Cute yet fun chapter, loved seeing how Mag had to control himself to keep the bento safe. Also when Muscar was tricked lol.
BLue Box 21
Could have easily made the matches last more than just a single chapter and shown Haryu getting a page spread.

I get that but they've been setting up the tournament for a while now and finished it in a couple of pages. That's awful lmao

Spy X Family on break again: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Dandadan bonus chapter: yesssssssssssss
The mandrill turning people into cans leaves me with more questions than answers. Why did he know about Ayase and Okarun, anyway? Did the Serpo send him? Or did they just tell him about them?

I'm glad we didnt rush to fighting, the fun between exam moments is great. Do wish Finn was around. Dot is always fun.
Witch Watch 31
The silly content we needed, after all that action I dont mind the random requests.

But this tournament isn't really that important for the mc, it's more important for the female lead since this is her last chance.

I dont know, I loved the chapter.
Even especially with the ending page going to finally face off against one of the brothers.

Agreed, this series just keeps on pace which gives me some hope, and it's been fun
Same. He works within the memories, feels like they could play with him being an accompanist/dual player
Yuru Camp 1-47
I still think the anime still largely outstrips the manga due to the colours, painted backgrounds and music + voices, but the manga isn't nearly as stripped back as I initially thought; the essence of Yuru Camp and, indeed, the reason the anime is so good is all entirely here and it's been a nice way to revisit the series in a quicker fashion than watching the show again (though as it turns out we're doing that too). Though the vistas and backgrounds are all captured in black ink and therefore turn out a bit more impressionistic than the vivid background paintings of the show, the feelings it evokes are extremely similar and the overall laid-back vibes of Yuru Camp is definitely all here.

Neru feels like it's got some legs, unlike the other newcomers. Which is a shame, because I really liked the little we saw from Red Hood's worldbuilding, but there you have it. The absolute trainwreck that is P6 might save it from one round of cancellation, maybe, but as things stand I'd bet on only Neru going past 30 chapters amongst the latest newcomers.
And yeah holy crap this week's Undead Unluck.
And yeah holy crap this week's Undead Unluck.
i think all three end in the next round of cancellation, and if any do survive longer it'll be pppppp just because depending on when that round happens it might still be too new to get canceled
Neru's very much keeping its course which is a very good sign. If the author was panicking he would have thrown in a hype arc or some menacing rival
The one thing that does give me pause is that these two new students are number 1 in some respects (first place in the exam, first place in the... program, I think?), but there's clearly still people ranked higher than them, so no matter how this fight goes there's still room to grow.
So, what I'm saying is, agreed. Red Hood dramatically sped up, P6 is just... dead series walking. Neru feels like it's basically stuck to a consistent pace, which says to me that the author's not worried about getting axed.
One for is number one in his field(there were 16 I think?) in his class and the other was top newcomer, but he's paired up with a top tier fighter and it's not being presented as Neru expecting himself to win, just that he wants a challenge. That's an important part. That and acting as a safety for his far more skilled sensei
I agree, it's refreshing to see a seemingly dead series like Neru keep pace with the axe hovering over it. I'm still into it while I fell of red hood. I still expect it to get axed of course, but it's been a nice series.
Only way I can see Red Hood surviving is if P6 got the axe immediately. I think Neru will be fine tbh. Its feels like a confident story.
Aye, easiest way to get in the country, really. JET program, delayed for almost 2 years now.
Wish you luck. Hope you're not being sent to somewhere too dead.
Based on everyone I know that has done the JET program, then I would just expect to be put somewhere really rural, and be surprised if you're not.
Absolutely the right mindset, but being in rural kansai is different from being in rural chuugoku or touhoku, for example. Some rural places aren't far from exciting cities.
True. A few years ago I went to visit some friends that were in the JET program. One was living in a tiny (population sub 1000) village in Yamanashi, but at least Tokyo was somewhat close. The other was on Iki island, which is kinda cool, but there's not much there, and you have to get on a ferry to get back to the mainland.
I feel like inaka in Japan is still like... I mean from where I was it was still only like 1-1.5 hours to a metropolitan area by bus or train w/transfers (one way)... it did cost like $40 return though, which kinda sucked. And you always had to leave by like 7pm or else get back the next day, lol
(Imho jpn experience is not complete without getting stranded in the middle of fucking nowhere because you didn't check your train transfers properly and the next train is at 6am)

I feel as if Red Hood already got the termination notice, fully expect this game to conclude then we will rush like some of the previous series did.
Though I guess it could do like er Guardian of the Witch and just end at some random destination.

I just don't get this pacing. Half the story so far was stuff happening, then half on training, most of being on a single mission/game! Like, why is it lasting this long? They couldn't have had some monster mission where characters were introduced? Where are the monsters?? It's just frustrating with how this story has been formatted, and went from something really intetesting in Ch 1 to "plz let it end, I'm bored..." :/
