You know, I think it would be kinda fun to play a life size board game. I mean it doesn't have to be as lewd as this, though I don't think I'd complain if I were in Kogarashi's position.
I don't doubt you could find something stranger. Though I certainly wouldn't check.

BLack Clover at the top of the next JUMP, hype.
Finally got around to finishing up JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean.
Note: Major spoilers ahead.
It was certainly different than the other parts. I don't remember if any stand in part 5 or earlier had any stand abilities as far reaching as part 6 did with Bohemian Rhapsody/Made in Heaven etc. Not sure how I feel about more wide range ones but I'd like to see at least 1 more in steel ball run to solidify my opinion.
I also never cared about Pucci at all. I don't really know what to say about him other than that. Just was completely whatever to all his stuff. I did like Jolyne though. Creative uses of stands are always great and Jolyne always had a different way of doing things every fight.
As for the fights, definitely at the minimum felt like there were a lot less fights and more puzzle solving. I ended up stopping a long time ago having read like a third of the series so I don't remember all that much about the early battles either. Either way I don't really mind more puzzles or more brawls as long as they're good.
Overall I felt like Stone Ocean ended up feeling more like a transitional phase of jojo (with the ending pretty much cementing the feeling) like part 1/3 rather than something more self contained like 2/4/5. Which means I'm expecting a lot out of the next part, especially considering all the praise I've seen for it.
As a side note, I hope this is the last we see of a major dio involvement in a plot. Not to hate on dio, but I can't see what else can be used that'd I prefer over another self contained part.

Theres Star Platinum/The World and Bites the Dust, but Bohemian Rhapsody and Made in Heaven have the most obvious infinite range effects
Yeah I had thought about those as well but counted them out due to their in story effects happening in a closer area.

Don't forget Gold Experience Requiem, that shit is bullshit
Also you're probably really gonna like SBR as far as stands go.

But yeah, SBR stands are amazing.

I've read through the first half dozen chapters of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steel Ball Run and it's been absolutely great so far. I love the idea behind this part and we haven't even gotten to stands yet.
But what I love more is the idea of araki debating in his head of what to do post part 6. Debating between continuing on somehow after part 6 or just going back 100 years and having a god damn non stop horse race across america. And he goes with the god damn horse race.

Goblin Slayer
This week had me juggling work, AGDQ and reading Oyasumi Punpun(1 - 82).
Inio Asano is making me wish I couldn't feel emotions, and yet, I want to find more about Punpun and the inevitable tragedy that will come with his relationships.
The part where
hits too close to home.

Goblin Slayer would be a pretty good manga/maybe LN if it didn't do the same thing all manga did to try and be surprising and dark and the Walking Dead and having all it's women get raped and killed, sometimes in that order and sometimes in reverse, every chapter all the time for 15 pages in graphic detail.

The concept is great:
"People don't take goblins seriously and new adventurers get fucking killed by them for being overconfident jerks who think they're trash mobs, so there's a dude who goes around and only kills goblins cause of trauma"
And then the execution is like...vomiting on a pile of vomit.

Oyasumi Punpun is the single greatest manga I will never touch again. Reading it was hard, very, very hard at times, but I couldn't put it away until I finished it.
I had to stop reading though after a specific scene later in the story in the chapter where (HEAVY SPOILER WARNING!)
Aiko commits suicide
Reminds me of this "Tucker's Kobolds" thing I heard in D&D
"In all the games that I've seen, the worst, most horrible, most awful beyond-comparison opponents ever seen were often weaker than the characters who fought them. They were simply well-armed and intelligent beings who were played by the DM to be utterly ruthless and clever. Tucker's kobolds were like that.
Tucker ran an incredibly dangerous dungeon in the days I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C. This dungeon had corridors that changed all of your donkeys into huge flaming demons or dropped the whole party into acid baths, but the demons were wienies compared to the kobolds on Level One. These kobolds were just regular kobolds, with 1-4 hp and all that, but they were mean. When I say they were mean, I mean they were bad, Jim. They graduated magna cum laude from the Sauron Institute for the Criminally Vicious."

One of my favorite campaigns I ever ran for DnD included a kobold antagonist who was a level 18 Monk. They ran into him at the end of one of their first adventures and were like "Let's fuck this lizard up" and proceeded to get paralyze palm'd and left for dead in a pit of spiders.

Goblin Slayer 1-8
Party of wannabe adventurers with the bashful warrior, sullen dark mage, cheerful fighter and novice white mage go into a goblin's nest for an extermination quest only to get rekt.
Thus entersan experienced Dark Souls III character Goblin Slayer and saves the white mage and proceeds to pwn all the goblins.
Merry adventures ensues especially with the coming of a classic trio of lizardman, elf and dwarf proposing a quest for the titular main character.
Does he want to save the world ? No.
Does he want to get rich and/or famous ? No.
Does he want to be a hero ? No.
Dos he want to kill goblins ? Why, yes.

It was pretty ok. I like the MC design. There's like a total of 3 scenes where you see women kidnapped/raped by goblins, and it's like one or two panels each time, not the main focus.
Bonus points for him being savvy and smart enough to know how to exterminate goblins, such as using a protective barrier spell in order to block the exit and kill all the goblins in a hideout by suffocating them with fire.

I don't like how it try to be edgy yet try to sexually pander at the same time. It doesn't make sense for goblins to randomly rape human in the first place but how the author depicted it is even more problematic because the rape scene (of the first) is not shown purely as something disgusting but to incite the reader arousal. I'm so mad because the premise of underestimating "low" creature only for them able to pwn everything else is interesting especially when you accustomed to fantasy tropes. But jeez, both Goblin Slayer and Re:Monster just able to fuck it up badly with shitty pandering. So mad that I began drafting Goblin WAAAGH story on my own.

Re:Monster was cool at first but I'm sick and tired of LN dialogue.
Stop writing your manga to mimic books. You have pictures, I have eyes, you don't need to explain things so thoroughly, show don't tell for fuck's sake.

I do actually really like that one of Goblin Slayer's main side characters is a really interesting lizardman who is portrayed as the smart and patient one of his party. Lizardmen are under-represented and often chumped out in everything so him being an actually interesting character and Overlord's lizardman arc being far and away it's best one has me really happy about lizardmen representation.
Nothing better happen to him, he's super cool.

Yeah Goblin Slayer is super dumb. I like how so little effort is put anything but the violence. I don't recall seeing any actual names for, like, anything. Not the world or land they belong to nor proper names to these characters. Ain't got time for that shit like that when there's schlock to be had I guess.
Here's a link. Happiness, Princess Jellyfish, and The Ghost and The Lady are also a dollar a volume.

The best part of Goblin Slayer is that the MC is a fucking self insert.
I mean, sure he has a name that no one uses but ya ain't tricking me.

C.M.B: Nice little detective boy manga that mostly revolves around historical artifacts.
Q.E.D: C.M.B's Quantum physicist cousin.
Saguri-san Tankentai Ch1: A simple yet quaint manga about a sickly young girl who longs for the outside world, which she is constantly told about via her childhood friend. Skip forward to her moving town, him growing up and entering high/middle school. Where they are reunited (with her illness in recession) leading to him fulfilling his promise to go exploring with her.
Hiraheishi Wa Kako O Yuemiru: In standard light novel style, daemons invade kill most of the loved ones of the main character. He then continues to fight until he dies at the end of the war, thus being revived in an attempt to subvert their deaths. Nothing too special or revolutionary, but it does seem to occasionally show shades of something darker.
Hakaaijuu: Two childhood friends fight and compete over their childhood sweetheart using basketball, that is until the cthulhu attacked!
EDIT: On a side note anyone got any recomendations for a darker action manga where we slowly watch the main character's sanity slip away (either from despair or just anything really). As I'm in the mood for some of that right now..

That reminds me of Stravaganza where there's a lizardman who at first glance is scary and barbaric is revealed to be considerate and heroic instead. Then he suddenly dies. It all happened in a span of ten pages of the first chapter and somehow it made lost motivation to continue.

I'm actually liking this.
his single minded nature is pretty awesome so far as he doesn't give a fuck (unless its about Goblins).
Also this group is very interesting with their varying personalities

I would have suggested Re:Zero, if anime were an acceptable compromise. I wonder if the novel is as mindbreaking or heartrending as the anime was.
