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

ohhh yeah that's a pile of guns!!! ok. My sleep deprived brain kept trying to make that into like... one object and i was just furious that I couldn't figure it out lmao

AoT ended pretty much exactly how I expected and I'm still not sure how I feel about that

SAKAMOTO DAYS PEOPLE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING IN THIS PANEL FROM CHAPTER 15 I DON'T KNOW IF I'M JUST TIRED OR WHAT BUT I CAN'T PARSE IT AND IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS ENOUGH TO YELL ABOUT IT

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 I hope the mangaka recovers well, that sucks

You've seen his twitter, right??? He's working hard!

Yeah, Ayashimon was one that I enjoyed but it didn't quite have a good hook in me until more recently and while I assumed the whole story run would be a shorter one due to the power leap I wasn't expecting this =( It just took a little too long for the plot pacing and the art to reach a more appealing balance, the art style is cool but also a slog on the eyes, way too much scratching and dark blobs. That had really started to even out better by this point. Pacing was slow at first, you could tell there was a "meet and gain allies" roadmap but it just wasn't strong enough. Oh well, it seems like the author has had more success with a different series that I haven't read so I'll take a look at that. On to the next shonen jump offering I guess!

yes, but i already fucked it up and just split one post gimme a minute and i'll fix it all, we just got back from a 10 hour car ride so brain no work good

When Lucky called someone else's hair weird I lost my shit

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

AKANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE my giiiiiiiiiiirl I love her so much I want an anime of this now now now now PPPPPP

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

I just read it, I'll stick with it for at least a few chapters and see where it goes! Interesting premise, cut straight to the point with the candy bit

Thank you! It'll even out eventually but it's been rough af. There's been stuff I enjoyed in the Culling Game arc but for the most part it just feels like it just DRAGS so hard, and a lot of the action is hard to read because of the art style. Assuming the anime makes it to this point though.... it'll probably be rad as hell when animated. At least in the latest chapters it really feels more like plot progression than it has in a while! I've never read all of JJBA either.... maybe once I get HxH under my belt I'll go for it too

yesssss i have begun my binge, the hype is real

The scans I read had the pig latin! I do not remember which group I started with, but they had the pig latin! They treated some of the other character's speech quirks differently though, so when I did switch to the official stuff I remember being a bit jarred by having to shift how I read their speech, particularly Chrome. I fucking hate the "baaaaad" thing. Gen does a thing where he'll switch the order of syllables in a word or phrase in the original Japanese. So he might say "paisen" instead of "senpai" or "goisu" instead of "sugoi" Localizing this to pig latin flows better than doing the same in English because people are more likely to understand that him saying "Ool-cay" is pig latin for cool over him going "Olco" It's one of those verbal tic things common in anime and manga (DATTEBAYO) that falls super flat in English so they either axe it, turn it into a catchphrase or alter it to flow better!

I have read so. much. manga. lately. I'd love (but also be scared to see) a report on how much time I've spent on MangaDex and the couple of official apps I use! Been keeping up with the usual favs on Jump, One Piece, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family, Akane-banashi, Chainsaw Man I finally gave the Ichinose Family a go and binged that and have been keeping current with it! I fell behind on Sakamoto Days around this time last year, so I need to catch up on a year's worth of that. I got a few chapters of Gokurakugai and Wild Strawberry to read as well. I never finished chapter 1 of Shojo Null so I'll just start that back over and see how I like it. Been reading Kagurabachi as it comes out, other than that I don't think there's anything on there I'm actively wanting to keep up with atm! I'm just now realizing that I never finished PPPPPP and I got like 13 chapters of that left, so I guess I'll round that out too even though it clearly lost me pretty hard there. I think the big thing I'm wanting to tackle Jump-wise is to finally start Kaiju No 8! I've been interested for ages but it seems like every time I remembered that I need to start it up I was in the middle of something else I'd started to read.

AKANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA my heart

A lil bit of all 3! I enjoyed it, got some fun characters but the actual story goes apeshit in a way that's fun but also just so poorly constructed you have to laugh.

RIP Ayashimon I guess, damn.

dr stone Akane-banashi I'm already really enjoying this, particularly because around summer of last year I went down a youtube rabbithole about rakugo and found it really cool so I'm looking forward to more Earthchild it has my interest for now, gonna keep with it for a bit and see where it goes

i binged all of Fire Force over the past week and it was weird as fuck that's it, that's my review

I'm behind on a lot of stuff but I did check out the first chapter of Fabricant 100 and it definitely has my interest
