I'm finally caught up on everything and this week was a strong round of chapters. Sakamoto Days #111 Ichinose Family #17 I'm blanking on specific things to say about the rest other than the Spy x Family chapter was a bit underwhelming, but overall I enjoyed reading everything this week.

Wow, we're definitely on the same wavelength here My gut says Nico remembers more than she is letting on during her drunken outbursts. I dunno why. Probably wrong I didn't start Jiangshi X yet. I might circle back to it if it enjoys a long-ish run and seems to pick up some momentum. But if it meets an early end then I figure why even bother I've been thinking about maybe picking up World Trigger if I have time for some binge reading. I watched the first season of the anime way back (hard to believe that was nine years ago! ) and enjoyed it well enough (not that I remember much about it anymore!). It must be doing something right if it's still running...

Ditto on all that Beat & Motion stuff. It has a special heart behind it. I'm also super intrigued by how the relationship between the two builds up as she flips between drunkenness and sobriety, and how much of that she actually remembers. And yeah, I liked Chainsaw Man this week. Feels like we're getting ready to ramp back up. Gokurakugai is almost purely an art/aesthetic thing for me. Best & Motion has the more interesting/personally relevant narrative and characters, but there's a lot of style dripping from Gokurakugai that makes me want to see where it goes. I still haven't read past the first chapter, though I think I'm gonna drop Jiangshi X. I haven't read the last two weeks, and it just doesn't really hook me. It's just your basis Shonen with a premise that's niche enough to not 100% feel cliche, but it's still like 95% cliche. It probably won't last long anyway.

Finally got round to checking out some of the new stuff. Beat & Motion is definitely a winner in my books! Nico is hilarious The art is a bit generic IMHO so it's not as nice to look at as some other series that I'm enjoying at the moment, but I like the basis for the story. I actually read the first two chapters at like 3am this morning when I couldn't get back to sleep while stressing over some dumb work shit in the middle of the night, and this idea of "You just died today, now you should do what you really want to do" struck a chord. Gokurakugai is also interesting, though I am not as into the concept as I am Beat & Motion. The latest Chainsaw Man (123) also has some good stuff going on. Asa is in a bit of trouble here! Denji to the rescue? Or does she save herself?

Tell Lucy we say hi!

I'm way behind on sharing my thoughts in here!!! I'm finishing packing (I leave to see Lucy in Scotland tomorrow!!!!!!) but I'll try and slam some of them down tonight! I've missed talking manga with y'all, I've just been frazzled lately

^ I'm in agreement about pretty much all of that! Ichinose Family has been rather captivating lately, after a brief lull for a few chapters The Masamune stuff in Elusive Samurai has been super rad, and those weapons are cool AF Chainsaw Man has overall been good, and even when it's not great the vibes are still pretty cool, but it would totally benefit from a longer format (eg, like Choujin X which often has closer to 30 pages, sometimes more... you should totally get caught up on it if you haven't yet ) Akane-banashi continues to be great overall and now that PPPPPP is over Akane is easily my favourite current artsy manga ( PPPPPPP) Every new Show-ha Shoten! is loaded with good stuff even when I don't really get the Japanese stand-up humour Are you caught up on Sakamoto and DB Super? @Anelle thoughts re: latest JJK chapters???
-
Ichinose is in a good groove right now. It feels like we don't get a lot with only so many pages per chapter, but there's been a hook and push over the last few chapters that has me hyped for whatever comes next. Last 3 chapters of Elusive Samurai have been good, too Chainsaw Man still has me hooked into the characters and what's gonna happen, but cutting things down to 15-17 pages a chapter has made a few chapters feel like they're lacking and like I don't get enough. I enjoy the smaller moments with the characters before all the brutal action, but it just feels like not enough character stuff is really happening either. Akane-banashi #52 I also really dug the new Show-ha Shoten. The wait is never short enough for the next chapter.
-
I've only read the first chapter so far, but Gokurakugai has potential. The art is really well done and has oodles of personality.
-
Yeah overall I'm pretty disappointed by how PPPPPP ended. Chapters the last several weeks have been mostly hard to follow, and then the sudden ending. Felt like it was a bit rushed, even if it was already close to reaching the end point. I agree about that one thing though---Lucky slugging his dad on the final page was a nice touch. So much of what led up to it was a mess though Did you ever catch up on Choujin X? A loooooot happened in the latest chapter (35). It was a lot to take in. Not as good IMO as the chapters that preceded it, but it seems like we're building up to more cool stuff happening.
-
Oh damn, I didn't realize PPPPPP ended! I went and caught up on the last two chapters immediately. Definitely a bummer. I wonder what happened there. It felt like it was ramping up and hit a peak with the 4-on-4 battle, then it just kind of meandered for a few chapters before ending. I don't think it's unlikely it was a somewhat planned ending since his mom died during all that, but it feels like some of those last few chapters were wasted, and we probably could have just done the Dada backstory and then this chapter.
-
I wasn’t going to check out the new one right away, but with PPPPPP done now (total bummer!) I guess there is a spot open on my reading list…
-
Checked out Beat & Motion. Seems like it could be a good one.
-
Some really great stuff this week(with a couple manga that I had to catch up from last week, too). Akane-banashi really paying off the brief lull. Elusive Samurai with a signature moment and a gorgeous 2-page panel. Undead Unluck has been really fun with the most recent arc. Ichinose Family really digging into the meat. Even Fabricant 100 had a good pair of chapters these last two weeks after being kind of ok after the first chapter. Just gotta catch up on the last two Sakamoto chapters. I've also been reading Jiangshi X. It's fine. Kinda basic demon Shonen stuff, but this last chapter had some cool art. Not sure I'm gonna cling to this one. I wonder how Cipher Academy has been doing lol.
-
Latest chapter of Ichinose Family was very good stuff too … PPPPPP was a bit more interesting, and made more sense, this week. I would rather just get back to focusing on Lucky… but I guess I’m also up for Dada-sensei’s back story.
-
Loved the new chapter of The Elusive Samurai (97) this week
-
Nah, I agree on PPPPPP. Before, even when I didn't know exactly what was going on, there was a charm that made it still interesting. But between having no Lucky and this kind of meandering focus on the other septuplets, it's just not grabbing me the same. And normally after 3 or so chapters, I understand what's happening and it rings me back in, but not for like 6 now.
-
Kinda feels like both Sakamoto Days and Elusive Samurai could be building up to big final showdowns soon-ish. Other non-spoiler random thoughts: I feel like PPPPPP has lost its direction—or I just don’t get what’s going on these past few chapters (totally possible ). In any case, I’m not enjoying it is much anymore… I am absolutely loving these ‘Fetching Tea’ chapters of Akane-banashi Interesting twist in JJK this week! Overall, I am getting tired of the Culling Game arc, but events at the end of this week’s chapter have renewed my interest.
-
Yeah that was pretty wild. Good timing too since it was kinda starting to get boring. Now I'm intrigued all over again. The looping thing is reminiscent a bit of Erased ( if I'm remembering that correctly... )
-
Holy shit, this was it Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins #10
-
Another solid new chapter of Choujin X, only 5 days after the previous chapter. This manga has a really weird schedule. Or, less a schedule, more of a "whenever Ishida is ready" release cycle. In any case, I will say it again, it's been really good lately Chainsaw Man #117
-
re: Sakamoto: I was starting to feel pretty tired of movie guy, so I hope this is the last of him for a while now. The fighting in this chapter was good though. Akane-banashi Tokiyuki's the best Choujin X continues to be exciting. Consistently several very good chapters in a row now
-
Yeah, that was one thing that was nice about binging for the catch-up. Things made more sense because you could piece it all together over 3-5 chapters lol Really liked the fight with Kanaguri in Sakamoto Days. Class stuff. Ichinose's is still intriguing, but man, it does so much setup sometimes that I feel I'm left waiting for something to happen after certain chapters. Like it feels like NOTHING happened this week. Akane-banashi 45 I liked the last two chapters of Elusive Samurai
-
Yup Me too. It usually starts to make sense eventually… maybe next chapter will clarify things a bit.

I have no idea what the fuck's going on in PPPPPP
