  1. Yeah! I've been really glad to see more open communication about mangaka health and breaks. The industry is still insane workload conditions but there does seem to have been a positive shift! I don't mind waiting for more of series if it means the author is taking care of themselves and coming back ready to give their best.

     

    UNLESS IT'S FUCKING CLAMP, IT'S BEEN 123123123 YEARS PLEASE FUCKING FINISH X/1999 I'M FUCKING BEGGING PLEASE

  2.  

    man, already hiatus for Ruri Dragon due to author health issues! So far it wasn't anything overly outstanding, but it was a lot of fun--- definitely something I would have been vibin' hard with as a teen :lol: I hope the mangaka recovers well, that sucks


  3. I just could not get into Black Clover! The anime at least. I tried 3 separate times and stalled out every time and never bothered to try the manga. I have pretty big shonen battle fatigue, I can only hang on through so much of it lol

     

    I love the Shonen Jump app, it's provided so much reading time for me on days I have to do bedrest ❤️ I wish there were some other similar apps as far as the interface goes, I'd buy a few more digital titles from other places if they were as easy to use but so far every other one I've tried is messy


  4. EARTHCHILD SHOULD HAVE ENDED THERE.

     

    WHY

     

    edit---then again, I've read it every goddamn week so I guess a bunch of other people have too and since overseas metrics don't mean shit to WSJ I guess Japan likes it??? I have not bothered to look it up because I don't care that much


  5. ah fuck i knew i forgot to post something!

     

    summertime render 14

    Really cool to see some more backstory! I have my answer on Hizuru/Ryunosuke now! I don't really have anything in-depth to say because at this point I'm just vibin' along enjoying watching things unfold! There's still answers to be had but we're rolling so well that I don't feel the need to agonize over them :rotfl:

  6. Dude the new chapter has me PUMPED 

     

    It's been a hot minute so I forgot just how out there and violent this series gets and this chapter went hard! Might treat myself to a reread


  7. I'm gonna go back and rewatch the ending of season one and then will come back to answer stuff because I think they simply retconned some stuff that they tried to abruptly wrap up in the finale of season 1 here in the beginning of season 2. 

     

    Shadows House as best I can figure out

    Spoiler

    They did not anticipate another season and tried to rewrite the storylines. The lurking hooded figure is a major plot point in the manga that should have been better explained, and they leaned way too hard into building Edward into a more prominent villain role. That's the best I can sum up the changes to the season one plot without going into manga plot.

     

    They also tried to end on spooky mystery of "oh noes is the crew safe or not? Go read the manga and find out!" 

     

    On to real answers--- I think they intended the ending to be just that, a "go find out more!" 

    I think they are going to attempt to correct the hooded figure plot line they butchered, judging from s2 ep1

     

    That's about all the manga info I can give, your summary of the first season was accurate. Kate cured Emilico of brainwashing by forcing her to drink a shitload of water until she barfed out the soot. John and Shaun got into an argument that turned into a physical fight and a punch cured Shaun of brainwashing lol. I think both Louise and Patrick talk Lou and Ricky respectively out of their brainwashing, Louise might have used her soot powers to influence Lou? I really don't remember specifics on that.

  8. I think I'm over Dr. Stone. I still read this special chapter and will probably read future ones but I was ready for it to just be done. 

     

    Akane-banashi is dragging a bit for me, there was too much explaining grinning dude's gimmick and less showing so it feels like the part of this I find most fun has stalled. I'm still very invested though!

     

    Earthchild keeps stressing me out because every fucking chapter feels like "ok THIS is where they're gonna hit wrap up because surely this is getting cancelled" and it KEEPS GOING but I want them to be a happy lil family goddamnit


  9. I've been way too tired to type out reacts to summertime but i'm still very into it, very very excited for next week for some juicy info reveals

     

    or if it's more teasing i'm reading the damn manga
