Nemuru Machi no Futari

An one shot about a guy and a girl who hates each other as they walk home in the middle of the snow.

That was pretty cute. Very nice to see them understand each other.
 
That's something I don't get though. Yoshino can do plenty of fun things on screen but she never gets any screentime. And the time she does get feels like the same frames replayed with something else shopped on the TV. There's no way she's THAT boring.
From what I've gathered, season 2's compressing things enough as it is, and when they're introducing new Spirits with each arc it's inevitable that the comparatively minor roles will suffer. She's probably my 3rd favourite behind Kurumi and Origami (I haven't started on S2 yet), but I'd be hard pressed to dispute that she has the least potential / significance of the primary cast.

Everything's going according to keikaku

What the shit is even going on anymore? Whatever this plan is, it's insane!

All according to keikaku.

I'm wondering if this means that Subaru is actually Sera and Shuichi's brother? Like... I can't imagine anything else. It's sort of clear that Shuichi was Subaru at one point but....

Great and atmospheric drawing, original setting, interesting slightly "broken" narrative where you feel a bit lost together the main character.

Maybe this one is a robot? Or the one in the car is a fake, or something. I dunno, all I know is we need the next chapter right now.
 
Sentou Hakai Gakuen Dangerous 11

I feel that hiding power is one of my favorite names for a power.

And one of the most super interesting ways to use it.

Weird request.

But what was the original manga that featured tentacle porn? I just read Berserck and I heard that the original manga that had tentacle porn has a lot of demons in there.


Fuck me right?
 
Psyren V15 - v16 [end]

A good read while on the ride to and from Liberty University graduate commencement.

Volume 15 had a good fight when Ageheha became Melchez but largely the whole Siren area plot committed one of the largest crimes in stories, that is the typical, when things go to space then you know there was a problem with writing. The whole Ouroboros thing being an otherworldly entity set on penetration and suckling all of Earth's resources was just really too difficult to believe and accept. Sure it was potentially able to be thought that he had planted the seeds for this in the past, but it was just way too sudden of a reveal and resolved too quickly (or rather not even there as everyone was just sent back to modern times). Final volume getting it back on track was acceptable but largely hated how most side characters were kicked to the side, Kirisaki seemed like he didnt do anything of not in these final volumes (and was even revealed that Iwashiro wanted to kill him off in an early volume, he had the best development and ability).

Psyren was a good action series from JUMP just cursed with this final arc that could have been done better, perhaps a the series needed a second look in the planning stage for going to siren their final time as that seemed to be where the series started to falter. The forced pointless romance of love declaration additionally suggests and highly implies that things were haphazardly thrown together at this point in time.

Quality wise, this time Viz didnt forget to clean an entire page, so for that I am glad.

It's a lot more likely that the author just rushed it because of editors until it ended "naturally" on his say. If I remember right it ended between cancellation batches.

Psyren was sadly cancelled in Jump which is why the last arc is so rushed. I imagine all the same stuff would have happened if it hadn't been canned but it would have had more time to properly develop. I disagree 100% with bolded. The romance was something I really liked in Psyren and never felt forced to me at all.

seems it was about to be (was in the last half of the TOS for a long while) and the author forced it to end before then.

Sudden? They liked each other from the start, I thought that was obvious. I always felt like Psyren handed the romance aspect far better than pretty much every other shounen at the time.
