Somehow I left off on the chapter of Akane-banashi where Maikeru got the votes for promotion and I forgot to comment on it. But his performance was awesome, and I absolutely loved Master Zensho unable to deny he deserves the promotion despite the seething hate he has for him. I'm caught up now and I'm already gearing to get a little choked up at Shiguma's reaction to Akane's performance. But I'm particularly excited that we may finally get to see Shiguma perform

I'm kind of expecting Sakamoto will try and Uzuki will either end up sort of killing himself or the redemption will come from a sacrifice. Would be very interesting if he ended up having to actually finish the job for the first time since the start of the manga, but I don't think the character is meant to take that direction.

Caught up on Sakamoto Days again. Sad to see how Uzuki and Rion were setup. Even more crazy to see Kindaka wake back up, though! Seemed like someone who would more or less be dead for the rest of the series, but he definitely makes a good master for Sakamoto. Have to imagine this training arc(however long it'll be) will be the last stop before the final showdown. Unless the series intends to continues with a new overarching story after this, but that's probably not the case. It's been one of the best series in the last couple years, so I'm excited to see how it all shakes out.

I still have to read the last 20-30 chapters because it's clear Horikoshi wanted to end it but they made him drag it out and it was getting painful to read every week. 3/4's of the way in, it's one of the best modern battle shonen and plays on a lot of tropes in cool ways. It also has some of the best art in the game today. The last quarter or so of the manga is a mess for a multitude of reasons on the plot front. One of the biggest being a not so graceful redemption for a character who doesn't really deserve redemption. I think it's worth it for the journey moreso than the destination, as it has one of the most interesting exploration of villains I've ever read and like I said, the art is incredible. I mean, when you think about it, I feel you can say that about a lot of manga/anime where it's pretty great up until the ending lol

Caught up on Undead Unluck. I still get all emotional around Fuuko and Tatiana's relationship. It's one of those things where normally when things are going too well, it's boring, but for all these characters that have suffered loop after loop, it's still so satisfying and heartwarming to see Fuuko and crew prevent everyone's tragedies. Remember coming soon!

God I gotta do so much catching up. I've been deep in the wrestling train for a month or so and then I was on a backup phone for like 3 weeks that I didn't have the SJ app on, but I got my new phone now, so no excuses. Just wanted say I'm alive lol I actually was caught up with Sakamoto, Undead Unlucky, and Spy x Family for a while but I'm not sure how far behind I am. I'm glad you've been enjoying Undead Unluck, though! I really enjoy the emotional content of everything after the loop starts over and we see Fuuko fully grow into herself and fight to give everyone a tragedy-less life. Also awesome to see you get into Kaiju No. 8. It's been a bit of a sleeper hit for me and has been a blast to read. I have yet to start the anime because the animation seemed a bit iffy in comparison to the manga, but I'll have to start that soon.

All the praise for the art on Akane-banashi goes double for Sakamoto Days. Holy shit, those chapters went hard. All the Takamura panels were wild.
-
I'm sure this isn't the first time I've said this and it probably won't be the last, but Akane-banashi has such a way with art. Just read Chapter 107 and 108, and the way they know to control the flow of the more detailed, gorgeous art with the sillier, simple art. The composition for some of the pages were amazing, and they still have such a way with facial expressions. The moments where Akane is truly happy, she absolutely glows in such an entrancing way. I just love looking at some of these pages, especially during the deeper, touching moments. Also, the end of 108 has me hyped.
-
A little behind on stuff(typical), but I really enjoyed the recent Spy x Family chapter. Getting some backstory on Henderson and Martha, and it was pretty heartbreaking.
-
Yeah, I don't need every chapter to be advancing a plot, but before it just felt like it had a lot of heart and super hilarious moments in the every day stuff. I think part of it is there have been a lot of shorter chapters in the last couple months so there's been less time to have the more meaningful slice of life chapters where it feels like there's both character development alongside the gags? I think that might be it. Until these last two main chapters(not counting the extra short side ones), it feels like there hasn't been that character development side as much? Or maybe it's also just because there have been so many break weeks that the flow makes every chapter hit weaker. I have faith it'll find something to dig into eventually, but we'll see

I actually have been caught up on Akane-banashi, Spy x Family, and Sakamoto(and Undead Unluck), but you reminded me to check out this week's chapters. The big splash page at the end of Akane-banashi was such a a heart-warming image. Loved her performance and the way she stood up to "mophead". And Sakamoto has been killer(pun intended?). Loving the art in some of these chapters, and the reveal about Uzuki was cool. I did kinda think it would be something more wtf, but honestly it makes a lot of sense. Can't help but agree on Spy x Family and Chainsaw Man. Feels like some of the spark was missing from recent Spy chapters(though this last pair was pretty enjoyable, and I get the feeling Fujimoto is burning out on Chainsaw Man and probably wants to do something else.
-
I've actually been relatively caught up on the usual suspects. I just usually miss one week and then catch up on 2 chapters at a time. That said, I do have to read the last two weeks. Just did Sakamoto and holy shit I love the fights going on right now. Seeing Shin trying to stand in his own strength and wits without his ESP(though he maybe unlocked some kind of mind suggestion technique?). Absolutely loved Akane's performance. I love that she started expanding into other stories, and man, the last chapter with her father acknowledging her path to Rakugo and then tearing up at the end. Shit was beautiful. She deserves the promotion. Also hadn't realized it's been over a month since the last Spy x Family! The most recent chapter was pretty fun, but it definitely feels like the best stuff will be next chapter.
-
The most recent Show-ha Shoten almost got some tears out of me halfway through. It's curious how Nazutani had decent intentions but became a legit dick in the process. Excited for the next chapter.
-
Fuuuuuck. I had a feeling it was coming. I was looking on jajanken a few weeks ago and it's been ranking terribly each week. Which is such a shame because I thought it had a lot to offer. Mirrored the best of sports shonen storytelling, but had enough great art and characters with heart that it felt like it stood on its own. Maybe just bad timing, I dunno. Really disappointed about it regardless. Gonna try and catch up on the last couple weeks of stuff soon. Been a bit lazy about it.
-
Second pretty much everything here(these are also the three I've read so far) On Elusive Samurai
-
This was mine: Feels about right, though I feel Beat & Motion, Spy x Family and Martial Master Asumi are snubbed by not having as many chapters. If this was expanded to a Top 10, Show-ha Shoten and Elusive Samurai would definitely be in there as far as enjoyment goes.
-
Agreed! But I am going to be supremely bummed ou?t if Nao doesn’t win They honestly did a good job of making feel bad either way with the way they characterized her opponent's backstory.
-
I also finally caught up on Elusive Samurai. I don't know why I was having trouble before. I read the exact same chapters and didn't feel nearly as lost. It's all been good stuff, though. Enjoying the setup for the rematch with Sadamune. Here's hoping this is the day Tokiyuki actually kills his ass.
-
I can't believe I forgot Spy x Family. That was also good. It's interesting to see that even some of the basic everyday people in this world don't exactly see their political leaders as good/great, with getting a glimpse into Millie's past. Good stuff. 4-D Science was good. I liked the cliffhanger. Akane-Banashi #91 I fucking love the action shots in Martial Master Asumi. The art is so damn good. Also, that final page in Sakamoto Days #148 was so awesome.
-
Martial Master Asumi #25 was such a good in between chapter. Asumi getting over mental boundaries, Nao giving us her backstory, and the intrigue/setup for their next fights. I feel this gonna be one of those manga where you fall in love with the entire character roster. The most recent Sakamoto and Akane-banashi were also enjoyable as always, but less to talk about lol
-
A little bit of catch-up In short, I love the direction Martial Master Asumi is going and I'm hyped for the upcoming fight. Should be heartbreaking. And Akane-banashi is still great stuff too. The tease at the end of the last chapter has me really curious. Beat & Motion Show-ha Shoten! Sakamoto Days
-
It definitely feels like a cork is gonna pop soon with a bunch of gore to follow
-
Martial Master Asumi #21 Loved the color spread for Akane-banashi #86 Really enjoyed the Spy x Family chapter too.
-
Just read the Dr. Stone special, and it looks like we're getting a continuation!
-
I was legit torn because I'm like, "I want the boys to win finally!" but goddamn did they make me just buy all the way into Broken Glass Slipper.
