Asano should just do what Osamu Tezuka did. Create a list of characters and reuse them in different stories like directors do with their favorite actors.

I mean, just read this shit.

One of the unique elements of Tezuka's work is his use of recurring cast members, characters who appear over and over in different series, with different names and different backgrounds but the same general personality and drives. For example, no matter which story he appears in, a character like Acetylene Lamp will almost always be a villain, often with Hamegg acting as his henchman or crony. By the same token, Shunsaku Ban (a.k.a. Higeoyaji) might play a wide variety of plucky middle-aged man roles.

Tezuka referred to this as his 'Star System'. The characters were like movie stars in a studio, and he a director reusing the same actors again and again after finding he liked their performances. Tezuka even jokingly made a list of how much they were paid and based them on famous western actors of the time.

That's a decent idea but Tezuka has a lot more variety then Asano, he needs to be lot more imaginative and have a lot more variety before he can think of getting away with that, personally I don't particularly like this practices being (over) used unless there the same characters who just happen to be in the same universe or crossing worlds over.

I still give Asano major props for making his art style look unique to himself and different to all the samey crap that being churned out there, I just wish he was more creative/imaginative with his character art with in his own work.

Manga is about a young widower and his 15 year old step-daughter. I really like the art and atmosphere so far, but I keep getting the sneaking suspicion that this will go to an usagi drop route and it's kinda skeeving me out.

I'll keep reading it though and hope that it's not going that route. Just kinda fun and fluffy so far.

Feels like a cross between Jinbei and Usagi drop, yeah. At looks like a cross between Solanin and Bus Hashiru, make of that what you will.

The translation is horrid, but I believe those are the actual spoilers.
Basically,
Minato stops (kills?) Obito, but Obito comes back to life, apparently by becoming the host of the Ten-Tails.

Hishintan -Vita Arcana- 1-4 END?
vitaarcana1.png
Click to expand...

It's 217 AD, several decades after the end of the "Pax Romana," and the Roman Empire is still the most powerful empire in the world. However, between corruption in the government, increasing attacks from savage hordes, and continuing resource-draining foreign campaigns, the power of Rome is on the decline. With the recent assassination of the emperor Caracalla, many things are about to change...
Click to expand...

The setting is great, the characters are incredibly interesting, the political back-and-forth between the various regions and their respective rulers of the Roman Empire is incredibly engrossing, and the art is hands down some of the best I've ever seen out of a manga series. I'm really glad I read this and I hope it hasn't been cancelled/put-on-hiatus as this definitely deserves a proper conclusion.

Holy fuck.

Indeed, it was quite a nice twist.
Last week, it seemed almost certain that Madara would take over Obito's body. But it looks like Obito was able pull a Sasuke on Madara thanks to the Fourth's interference. Or perhaps it's better to say that Obito is turning into his Final Boss form.

I really can't make heads or tails of Kishi's art. 75% of the panels in Naruto I have no idea wtf is going on. It's frustrating

Obito used Izanagi to alter reality and take over Juubi. It´s the only explanation of how Obito could take over the Juubi after all of his injuries, Madara´s mind control, and Zetsu coming out of half of him. Not to mention Minato´s slashing him.

Bleach and Naruto take place in the same universe in different time periods.

The Juubi started an apocalypse which destroyed the modern world which is why Naruto seems so primitive and yet has things like computers in random places.

Phahahaha Naruto never change.

Really liked the chapter for once. Minato was so boss just killing (genjutsu/Izanagi?) Obito like that. Why is Kakashi not back in all that time? Sasuke actually caring about the snake summon was a shocker honestly.

Anyways nice reversal on Madara with the fusion of Obito with Juubi to make the Jinchuuriki. But isn't half of Obito Madara anyways so he gets to be the Juubi Jinchuuriki in the end? lol

BTW how often can the 10 tails transform? At this rate it will beat Frieza for most transformations lol.

So much confusion, keep on driving this train Kishimoto. You already wreaked the character progression train cart. Lets see if the entire train will derail before the end.

Ah. Eh. Uh. Um. Hm.

Ah whatever, I'll read it and see how it goes.

Chie seems like an interesting addition if this isn't just her sole appearance. So is her son. Romantic drama!

But the stuff with the fish and everything was really a good callback.

Well, it seems to be like the end of usagi drop where a child has a crush on a non-blood related gaurdian, but there's this mother/son combo that came in to break up that dynamic. I think. Maybe. Kinda cute and fluffy so far so I'm just seeing how it'll turn out so far.

Yeah I do like the art.

Was excited reading Bleach until I saw the Quirky Miniboss Squad in form of giggling girls again. Nobody cared about them in Hueco Mundo arc and nobody will, now.

I am in the minority (it seems) in MangaGAF in that I actually really enjoyed Usagi Drop; the controversial ending moreso even!

Hmm, think I am gonna make this one something to watch for too.
