7 Seeds 110 - End of Minor Heat

So I have mixed feelings on the last few 10 chapters or so.
The character arc for Ango was extremely satisfying, from his continued failure to deal with other humans to him being faced with the fact that, for all his talk of thinking for himself, he had been limited in his ability to see the world outside of the box his teachers had created.

However I really disliked the "we have to turn off the countdown" plot, both it's premise as well as in execution. Without going on how clichéd it was, it added nothing in particular to the story, everything that happened in terms of character growth could had been done with the already existing "escape the ship" premise.
The section where they tried to deactivate the shutdown was completely out of place, the security questions were bizarre but easy to reply for plot convenience reasons (why was there a picture of a cat?), and having bracelets with the codes is such a bizarre thing that I have a hard time commenting on.
It all felt like a puzzle out the "Zero Escape" series but without the justification of being a videogame.

The same goes for the bacteria chase, the speed at which the bacteria started spreading, and the fact that it was literally chasing Natsu (as amused as I was with the justification for that), made the entire situation hard to take serious.

I'm mostly glad that this arc is done. Even if I'm frustrated that the author ended the arc at a c!iffhanger with Angon admission of Hana death.

Now we're going to a new arc. As suspected Hana is actually still alive, not a big fan of the fake death situation, but I'll take it.
The young Hana chapter broke all levels of cute.

Yo, there's a Boku Girl

Spoiler

h-

doujinshi, and it just got translated.

(Name's Boku no Mousou by Lookpapa by the way.)

Your knowledge of things always surprises me.

At least the copious amount of character development makes up for it.

The thing with 7 Seeds is I generally overlook some of the tech/mythical plot devices. All I remember about that arc is how Ango's redemption was done REALLY well.

What you said was right lol. I just don't mind when what 7 Seeds does right, it does really really well.

And they plan to make an anime of it? How? They would need to censor almost everything!

I swear to God, this Manwha and it's Cliffhangers!

 

[BatDan]

Wait. What do you mean?

Most of the series picked up for International Jump were swiftly killed off. Barrage, Takamagahara, Stealth Symphony, Cross Manage, and now Hi-Fi Cluster. Hence the "International Jump Curse". The only outlier is World Trigger, which I'll never understand how that managed to survive...

Gakkyu Hotei is too early to tell. It doesn't get ranked until next week.

Judos (which also sucked) died a week or 2 ago.

Judos. That's already dead.
I imagine Sporting Salt will be gone within in the next couple weeks as it was the third to premiere.

Well, I mainly didn't expect Boku Girl to be popular enough to get a doujinshi.

How is Sporting Salt still alive??

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I wonder if Hero Academia will be added this round. It probably has to be one viz's most requested titles in the surveys (assassination classroom too), would be so good to finally not be >10chps behind current.

So let me get this straight, you need to die because you can't deal with the pain of me dying.

I enjoyed it, although the story certainly is getting very slice of lifeish. I wish there was a little more direction again but I'm enjoying very much the little moments between Hori and Miyamura

Huehuehuehuehue~

it has a gender bender as the main theme, i'm surprised it didn't get one sooner lol

So they really skipped the previous plot with the other 2? really.

While i'm alright with the main duo returning but still, wtf at that

I thought the bigger question is how Cross Manage got 40+ chapters.

Yeah, I was rather disappointed that the boat shelter was fairly uninteresting, especially compared to the incredible Ryugu shelter arc. The bacteria stuff in particular didn't really made sense. It's a shame really, because the ship setting and its layout were pretty neat. I'm guessing the author wanted to avoid another heavy flashback arc, and tried a more subtle approach, which would be fine if the whole missiles + bacteria combination didn't felt so contrived.

At least the copious amount of character development makes up for it.

I have a hard time seeing what the point of the bacteria was in terms of the story itself, unlike the missiles (which do tell us how desesperated the crew was), the bacteria was just sort of there doing it's thing.

The thing with 7 Seeds is I generally overlook some of the tech/mythical plot devices. All I remember about that arc is how Ango's redemption was done REALLY well.

What you said was right lol. I just don't mind when what 7 Seeds does right, it does really really well.

I try to not ponder to much on those issues when I can, or at least blame the issues on the characters instead of the writing (really, who decided to put all the storage food in the same area in the Ryugu shelter? Do this people not learn about danger assessment?), but this arc went a bit too far in that regard to the point where it hurt my enjoyment of it.

That doesn't take away from Ango arc which was really well done though.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Judos. That's already dead.

Sporting Salt will probably end next week. So far the series ended based on when they started (Judos started first, then Hifi, than salt)

I have a hard time seeing what the point of the bacteria was in terms of the story itself, unlike the missiles (which do tell us how desesperated the crew was), the bacteria was just sort of there doing it's thing.

Probably both as a means to force the group to collaborate (which was unneeded), and to show a facet of mutations that certain organisms underwent like the mites did.

They were, as you said, pretty pointless.
