Toriko 301-303
Well I broke after a freind started teasing me about it and went to read it.
First off, the manga made me relate with Bambina more than with Toriko, I don't care if you have to replace your friends heart with my balls for him to survive, I'll kill you if you try to rip off my balls.
I'm also a bit unsure how the balls work considering there's a tree that grows them.
Chapter 303 was great, especially liked the blinking scene, but I'm not going to hold any expectations that this won't be reversed pretty fast.
Yeah, at that prompting from before I reread the intro Yui arc and the "Declaration" chapter you're referring to. In that intro arc, Yui made Marika look positively timid, had it implied that Shuu of all people was under her thumb, and was being super aggressive to boot. And then...it's actually kind of depressing how she appeared with so much momentum and promise to just completely fizzle out into Kosaki levels of nothing.
I feel foolish to think Yui would actually amount to an interesting character at that point. She somehow fell right down to worst character in the series right after. Worst than Kosaki honestly, at least Kosaki was already there from the start.
Don't play games or read manga. Problem solved.
But I already do that more often than I should!
