Chainsaw Man #104
-
I read about 10 chapters of YuYu Hakusho last night. Feels good man. I love the anime too. It's a shame that Togashi can't finish things properly, but the not-so-great ending doesn't ruin the rest of it for me. Such a great story. Also, totes agree re: Akane-banashi

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

I finished JJBA: Stardust Crusaders last night. The short review: I actually enjoyed it a lot in the end. There was a stretch there when I was not enjoying it. I think it was a bit a ‘quantity over quality’ problem with so many stand users introduced one after another. Some were just too silly for me. But once the team hit Egypt, the enemy stand users got more interesting and everything got better as a result. The final chapters against Dio were especially good. I am in no hurry to start reading Diamond is Unbreakable, but I will continue with it someday in the future.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 swayed me to start reading Jujutsu Kaisen next, so Claymore will stay on the backburner for a while yet. I was going to pick up the manga where the anime left off (around chapter 64, I think) but I might as well just read it from the start and get a refresher on what was covered in the anime. I finished Death Note last weekend. In the end, I wasn't a huge fan. Interesting ideas, but I ultimately didn't love the execution of it. I will spoiler my rambling thoughts...

re: Death Note: I was getting bored for a bit there after Light went into hiding, but the investigation into Yotsuba and the ensuing trap to capture Higuchi renewed my interest. Those chapters were pretty exciting. Light getting ahold of the notebook and regaining his memories--that evil look that flashes across his face in the helicopter--was worth the wait. My interest level has dropped a bit since the introduction of Mello and Near, not sure if I like either of them yet... but I am curious to see what happens next. I'm at chapter 65. Sayu's just been rescued (unless they end up dying anyways? ) and the notebook is apparently going to fly away on a missile... I've been thinking about reading that after Death Note... Haven't made up my mind yet though

The last few chapters of Akane-banashi were just fantastic all around. I really liked the flashback panels with Chocho, Taizen, and Akane's dad mixed in throughout her performance. It all just fit and flowed so nicely. I would have been mega bummed out if she didn't get Taizen's recommendation. Spy x Family kind of feels like a story that isn't intended to ever have an ending. Like, there is a story that runs through it and keeps developing, but there is at the same time an episodic nature to each arc as well. I feel like it will eventually just end with Loid, Yor, and Anya still happily in the same situation. The East/West thing is never truly solved--but they don't go to war either--and Loid keeps having to operate as Twilight perpetually. They never learn each other's secrets, etc. There will be ups and downs in terms of how good the story is at any given time. Hopefully it gets its groove back soon.

Oh yeah, Earthchild ... it still isn't over yet

Wild action in this week’s Sakamoto (#144)! Awesome stuff. I also really liked Elusive Samurai (#134)
-
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.

YuYu Hakusho just hit the vault in the Jump app! Commence binge reading in 3, 2, 1...!
-
Yeah man, that first chapter hooked me for sure Also at auto-correct (I'm assuming) turning Denji into Dennis in yer spoiler.
-
No new chapters this weekend But we did get a new Chainsaw Man today
-
Anybody else check out Shojo Null yet? New chapters from yesterday: Akane-banashi #73
-
New Gokurakugai and Show-ha Shoten! chapters yesterday! (I totally didn't forget that these series even existed ) Honestly, not a heck of a lot happened in either chapter, but they were both good. Gokurakugai Show-ha Shoten!
-
Have you still been reading Choujin X? The last few chapters have been pretty awesome
-
Akane-banashi #43
-
I didn't check out Fabricant 100 yet but I think I will. Something about the teaser for it piqued my interest. I totally agree re: The Elusive Samurai Samurai. That last panel Are you caught up on Sakamoto? The last few chapters have been really good! Also have to mention the recent chapters of HxH: The Phantom Troupe's origin story was fascinating and heart-breaking at the same time. Some of the panels in the chapter this week... Oh man. Please never go on hiatus again, Togashi.

Yeah, for a while there I was trying out every new series, but it's disappointing when something you start to like gets cancelled. Now I'm just going to wait and see what actually sticks around, see if there is some hype or if other folks recommend it to me, and then maybe pick it up.

I started reading Death Note this week. Not entirely sure why... to see what all the fuss is about, I guess? Boredom? I'm about 40 chapters in, so I'm zipping through it pretty quick. There are some interesting ideas and characters. But it's also kinda dumb. Given what I already know about how Platinum End finished, my expectations are very low
-
Akane is the best Mimin too! Her crazy hair never disappoints either
-
Yeah, I’m still bummed about Ayashimon If you picked just one series to be current on then PPPPPP is not a bad choice! I recommend reading up to current on The Elusive Samurai and Akane-banashi too though. Lots of good stuff going on in both. Another good new DB Super chapter today as well — #85

I’m up to chapter 8 now. The last 2-3 chapters were better than the start. Tokiyuki and his retainers (the other kids) start bonding, go on a hunting trip and end up facing off with a demon. Now they want Tokiyuki to learn some combat skills, and he has to go undercover to learn archery from a dude that is trying to find and kill him, so he has to conceal identity and all that. The next few chapters should be exciting and suspenseful based on the setup. I sometimes don’t like period stuff like this where you have to learn historical terms, etc. but that element of it hasn’t been too bad so far.

Read a few more chapters of Dr. Stone last night...

Jump app says Chainsaw Man returns July 12 👀 I agree re: Akane-banashi. It’s probably too early for a big happy ending, but I really am gonna be bummed out if Akane’s performance doesn’t go well Are you caught up on Earthchild? This story is crazy. One tragedy after another, hard to keep up This week’s chapter was interesting and I’m curious to see what happens next, but I’d also like for this thing to end sooner than later
