Well apparently in the Fuuka anime adaptation,
Fuuka survives the truck accident. Laughed my ass off after reading the Reddit post about it.

The anime studio got baited by Seo and tried rushing the story to where they thought it would be now

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I've seen nothing that suggests that. They aren't near it yet.
I thought I was free from SEO after dropping the manga, but even then he still manages to get me.

Red Blood Red Legacy 97 - END
Actually though the final arc and conclusion was great especially having it play out in Itsuki's mind. Did wish for a bit more conclusion or epilogue with Hayato (like where did he go)? otherwise closing out the whole racist vampire world and the cure and finally letting people have sunlight again was good.
Overall my second favorite of the MangaBox series. Soon there will be nothing left on ENG MangaBox.

Just reading a dozen of smut and adult works seem to do the trick for me.
I really love the premise of the series but have been caring less and less about the twists and turns its taking. This started a while ago when people started turning into Titans as I found that turn of events to be eye rolling and robbed the series of a lot of its tension and horror elements to turn it into a fleshy mecha story. Its only gotten worse as the series has gone on and gotten bigger but not better in my opinion especially the stuff we're at now.

You can check it at the manga subreddit. Apologies if it's a hoax though!

when I randomly picked this up a few months ago I didn't expect it to end up as one of my favorite manga, kinda thought it would stumble during the last game/arc and have an unsatisfying ending like so many other good series often suffer with..so I'm pleasantly surprised it was the opposite. Great ending. 9/10

I wonder what ghost Marie had been doing to his family. They wouldn't even listen to him. That and he can't even go back home unless Marie takes over.
I don't read or watch this. But I know enough for this to be hilarious if true.

They changed a lot, but the accident hasn't happened in the anime yet and I find it highly unlikely given the way the anime industry works there's a leak - supposedly Seo says it, but they also changed it so that the entire event leading up to Fuuka's death doesn't happen so it could just mean that they're explaining the reasoning for the filler and changed story arc.
It's lame as fuck if they just took it out since that's literally the series' hook - its not actually a about Fuuka Akitsuki, its a series about a band named after a singer named Fuuka.
Edit: nevermind, they actually did it in this episode and she just doesn't die. The truck happens and misses her.
You keep telling yourself that.
I love this manga.
The breadth and depth of his characters sealed it for me, the ride gets better as the stories progresses.
As far as I understood it, future Aizawa disappeard because her confrontation with present Aizawa changed the time line, resulting in a time paradoxon where future Aizawa traveling back in time doesn't exist anymore.
Or something.
Took a few seconds for the realization to hit, but made the moment all the sweeter.
You know a story is good if all those following it are dissapointed by this turn of events for the main heroine.

I really don't like the flow of the series right now.
Even Misuzu is pulling me down.
What's next?
Cotton Candy stealing Jun away in front of Tomo's eyes for some more grief?
They're either gonna have to gecko end it, or do a separate anime version of the twist.
You know, for double trolling.

Fuuka is finally doing the confession and the truck backs up and over her. Truly we can hope that was always Seo's original vision.
That's a pretty on the mark answer all things considered. However I think the more interesting question and answer:
I noticed that he really let off this kind of style for OPM. The redraw up to a point almost felt like he was experimenting with drawing a manga and going for an almost flip book style of animation in several parts whether it was the meteor heading to Earth or the entrance of Metal Knight or even the scene where Sonic is bouncing around from tree to tree all around Saitama. It was a really unique manga from that respect as Murata really seemed to be trying to draw a different kind of manga despite retelling the ONE webcomic story.
It became a lot more "generic" after the Meteor arc and that's not a bad thing persay but the manga did lose a lot of its unique visual flair and identity. This wasn't helped by the fact that the added material and arc are fairly generic Shonen style stuff with a martial arts tournament and all that. I kind of wish he would have stuck with his original vision but it seemed like Murata was killing himself to continue the manga like that.
Read the other parts. The story or retelling is all by ONE. Not even editors have any say.

Treasure bugs definitely not but merfolk eggs seem fine. And man that other group can't catch a break, I wanna see the corpse hunters' reaction when they find them again.
I feel bad but hopefully they keep on going after they're revived again, the ways they always get wiped out are pretty interesting

I'm not sure if it's just me but it feels like the art's getting better (in the key panels at least). Also Vamirio is super endearing, I definitely didn't expect a tropical island life arc with those two.

Really itching for Bastard!! to be distributed to Kindle. I've only had a bit of exposure to the series but the trashy overpowered fantasy is just what I'm in the mood for right now

I've never really prescribed to the whole Nihei is a genius train of thought that seems pretty prevalent, but I've always found his art and ideas to be interesting enough that I've read all of his other material, those things usually make up for the shortcomings I find with his plots and coherency
but KoS seems plain mediocre so far, the neat ideas are still here (the setting is pretty much the thing that's keeping me here at this point), the art-style has changed for the worse..it seems like this was an attempt at making a more mainstream series or something. I also find the action sequences borderline impossible to follow (though I imagine it's no easy feat to draw sci fi space battles)
pretty disappointed with this so far but I'll see it through until the end, hopefully it picks up a little

Also it feels like there is an inverse relationship between his ability to draw "normal looking" humanoid characters and the overall quality of the art as time goes on in Nihei's work. It's still technically good, but nowadays he really doesn't like using black shading anymore which is why his new manga takes place in a frozen wasteland

Uh....
I'm actually ok with progress. Misuzu is getting some progress on her own. It's clear right now she's afraid of what she is to Tomo, but knowing Tomo, she will dispel the problem in a single panel.

I'm going to bet that Seo's plan is to keep on teasing Fuuka 1's return, but never actually doing it.
I've read somewhere he doesn't have any assistants and draws everything on his own.

I still like his new style, but Blame and Biomega were probably the pinnacle for me.
Sidonia is weird and has a lot of flaws.
But it still has that Nihei brand of weirdness and crazyness with interesting ideas and setting that I can look past a lot.
And Tsumugi.
Btw, I recommend watching the anime as well. It's full CG and character animation requires getting used to it, but the soundtrack and sound design are great and the battles are just fantastic.
Can't find any proper scenes on youtube, so this will have to do (it's pretty great though).
