After watching the first episode of the anime yesterday (with the incredible OP and ED) and absolutely loving it, I decided to read the manga.

Of course, I'm absolutely loving this too.

Handa is a talented, award-winning calligrapher. After having his writing called bland and hackneyed by the director, he punches the director out of anger and disgraces himself.

On the recommendation of his father, he moves to a remote island village to find himself.

After arriving at his new home, he meets the hilarious and adorable Naru. She's the village rascal:

Absolutely adored the anime and am really enjoying the manga. Perfect slice of life comedy. Hope it continues to be great.

Sakurasaku Syndrome 1-17 -Yeah I'm liking this. Good to see Watatake come out and confess pretty quickly rather than have that drag forever. Its been a pretty well paced story overall and I like Kagetora.

I wonder if people will see the OP/ED and think it's more like Yotusba&!.
Naru's a major characters, but she's not really central or anything either.

And Funimation pls.

In one sitting, I can probably like Kagetora more. With the time between chapters released, though, it was hard to follow some of her decisions :|

I got that impression from the anime. Seemed like it was mostly going to be about Naru and Seishu. A little research dissuaded me of that notion though.

Alot of them have made some sense to me. At least from the sense of the rash, emotional person she is.

Was hoping it would be a lie as that came from out but as it goes on it makes for a good fight. I just hope it wont be another Ur type situation. Gray was a reason for reading the series all these years and to lose him though keep Lyon would feel strange. I think he can find a way, somehow.

Hm. These should all be death flags, but I don't think she'll die. I guess we'll see...

I worded that poorly, meant more in the sense of liking her general train of thought. It works out fine throughout the chapters but she came across pretty shitty with all the downtime between chapters.

US Jump claims another victim, but really, the writer is the one to blame for this. You create a gigantic, complicated world, and spend zero time explaining any of it to the reader. It just came across as confusing for the sake of confusing, which isn't going to win you any fans

Glad people are getting into it from the anime.

Hopefully the gain in popularity would mean that the translations come in faster. T_T

Please everyone understands the power of Narita.

Would be cool if he just makes this back into a LN and recon it into his Naritaverse.

World Trigger creator Daisuke Ashihara: More blood for the blood god!
Satan: Very good Daisuke. Unfortunately, this deal includes Toei creating the anime.
Ashihara: NOOOOOOOOO!
Satan: Mwahahahaha!

Honestly, I think it's more that it just wasn't interesting early on. It needed a hook earlier. It went full-on worldbuilding / character building before giving much of anything. During the early chapters, we had no idea really where it was going with the plot for the long haul. Just that ... ... ... well, nothing. We knew basically nothing.

That almost felt like a series ending and everything. Actually could have ended it right there even. Gilthunder and Meliodas deep friendship and teary eyes calming moment really is as good as previous King Ban stuff. Im starting to think its the writers best part to his storytelling,

I'm not falling for your tricks Akamatsu. Wonder how we'll miss the answer to the identity of Tota's ancestors.

Yamada 117

Yamada is obviously realizing that Odagiri is superior to Shiraishi. She's becoming the other main character, at least.

OTP. It's funny watching these two.

EDIT:I guess I "won" 5 grand once (well not really just given to me). I invested it all in bonds. I now have no idea what to do with all the excess. Guess I wait until I need to use it for emergencies.

Kongou Banchou kind of went off the deep end near the end of it but it was already so batshit insane I didn't really notice until I was thinking about it after I'd finished reading

A blatant he's-ugly-so-he's-a-bad-guy trope dare to bloat to he's-handsome-so-he's-a-good-guy trope that he will win?

Heh.

I only allow team handsome to run amok as a main story premise (without any criticism) since I too am handsome myself
;P

Still these shenanigans must come to an end
It is silly, shallow and boring

Alas our culture makes us judge this way
