Sadly due to it not being a widely available manga, I could only find the images I wanted with watermarks on them. As much as it annoys me. Might just post a link redirecting to a google folder or something....
Don't worry, nobody's going to judge!

Listening to the viz jump pod cast a few highlights
-the podcast group seems very positive on we never learn and hungry marie, luke warm on u19, and they barely talked about poro.
-chance of red sprite novel release is low (shout out to goldcrusader who asked)
-listening to them try and bs about how good rwby manga was is hilarious they basically said the same two comments for like a minute and moved on

About what I expected for the new series so far when it came to the west. The golf manga was and still is the biggest unknown (I expect Boichi's manga to be loved here). It's a sports manga which is a general negative for Viz, but could be weird/non-sports-like that it could find a spot in the Viz lineup.

Koe no Katachi is trash because it didn't end with babies. I mean, they clearly were GOING to get together at the end though, they just didn't actually execute for no fathomable reason.

Higher chance of BLack Clover or HeroAca novel than Red Sprite

If I could get the MHA novels, I could more easily get over not getting Red Sprite's GNs. But I remember asking them about the possibility of them licensing the MHA novels and they were quite positive about it. Saying stuff like the Naruto and Tokyo Ghoul LNs did well for them.
Of course in the best of world I would get both the novels and Red Sprite.

what viz needs to get is Biorg Trinity.
Heh.
At least she's not tall and toned.
Hayate no Gotoku 561
You know, drama really isn't working anymore in this series.
The tears just felt jarring.
As did the psycho parent stuff.
I mean, it was foreshadowed and all, but the rushed execution just felt like going thorugh the motions to finish this fast.

Where is this manga for little girls even going.
Like, how are they going to develop the characters at this point? What are they even trying to say? Especially given how modern CLAMP always felt less willing to deal with controversial themes compared to old CLAMP, to me.
Also I forgot about the whole Yukito/Yue business, mostly because him and Kero have been largely irrelevant.
So far all I can say about this continutation is: It exists.

Apparently it's in the final arc...but yeah that series felt directionless when I put it on hold two years ago as well.
Thanks for posting impressions, have hard time getting around to listening to the entire thing. I caught the segment on Hungry Marie where Marlene spent a good 10 minutes gushing about it, so that's a good sign.
Lol at RWBY, thank goodness that is done. I wonder if anyone actually liked it
I respect GoldCrusader's dedication to Red Sprite and hope it gets a GN release for your sake
I don't understand your concerns.

yea i guess, when i got to the last chapter and tried to go to the next one only to get "this is the final chapter" i was just sitting there looking at my screen like

I'm just struggling to figure out why the author couldn't include 5 pages where she tells him she loves him and they kiss and presumably go on to have a large family. Like, those 5 pages would take it from a A- to an A+ (especially after that weird second half arc).

also nothing never happened with his old "friends", there were teases here and there but nope.

One thing I neglected to mention is Marlene has read all 3 chapters which is where her gushing is coming from.
We Never Learn 4
I went into this chapter expecting to not like it because of the increasing size of the harem so soon, but the Uruka is too damn likable just like the other characters in this series.
Also:
I didn't realize they got all three chapters that early, that's good to hear that she is this positive about it.

Pretty cheap tbh.

Fuuka
Guys
I can't breath
The new Fuuka wasn't actually Akitsuki (or her reincarnation), it was some girl from her high school who had an unnatural/unhealthy obsession with Akitsuki who decided to dress and act like Fuuka with the end game of stealing Fuuka's man by pretending to be her

No...he didn't...oh my god he did...

Every time I think he's peaked, he goes and does shit like this.

So what are the odds Seo pulls an actual "Fuuka was alive all along" plotline on top of this bullshit? Because that would be hilarious
On top of this? He may as well just end his career at that point because he'll have peaked.

Nah, you can't peak with that. He can only peak if it's discovered afterwards that Fuuka 1 was alive and well, but happily dating another rockstar/guy and doesn't want to go back.

No peaking will be when Fuuka 3.0 kills Fuuka 2.0, mc starts dating Fuuka 3.0, then Fuuka 4.0 shows up who looks like Fuuka 2.0
It's like poetry it rhymes

Lol, new guy is still winning over Hayato.
Poor Nanako and her terrible fashion.
Horimiya 75
Well that was a bit weird
Tomo 506 - 513
Maybe one of them will actually be able to say something.
I mean, its only been 500 chapters of awkwardness and dancing around the issue of them liking each other.

I read the whole thing during the past few weeks. Starts out strong, you're thrown into this cool-looking cyberpunk world along with the protagonist and she has no clue what's what and who she is and you gotta figure stuff out with her. The "arcs" are very different one from the other, to the point where the second arc is pretty much a sports manga, and that's cool
Much like Parasyte, it turns into complete expository garbage in the last couple of volumes, ruining the world and the characters while force-feeding me some poorly interpreted western philosophy with a little bit of tree-hugging shit on top
The author kept pretending he had something to say while he distracted me with some okay fights which were sometimes incomprehensible and whose outcomes were mostly decided by magical technology the characters pulled out of their asses (properly explained in notes at the bottom of the page) and mostly acceptable character designs, although some of them looked like monsters designed by pre-schoolers but redrawn by a professional, in a world that only initially appeared vast and interesting
Anyway it did consistently have some cool body horror/gore panels that I appreciated and that often came outta nowhere. In that sense it didn't disappoint me

Planning to go through Last Order? I haven't been able to follow that one for years now and the third series started by now. It's an alternate continuation since the author had ideas he wanted to expand upon. Things get crazier and grander in scale. Her origin story always gets dangled in front of you, i don't know how much it really mattered.
It's boring.
I don't think I'm gonna read anything else by him
