        This one is good and a safe bet for avoiding the axe. Almost everything else that came since last year is getting cut or under heavy risk.

        The first chapters are weird an unexpected but carried by action and making you want to know where it goes. In the last chapters seems like stuff is established and the premise is quite interesting.

        Wash your hands.

          Scrolled down. Immediately saw a boob getting groped in the very title art. Nope.

              Chapter 10 is out.

              Fun and relaxing chapter, they do look really nice in suits.
              Also is nice seeing that they are getting better at working as a duo 😁

                Men, the worldbuilding in this manga is awesome!
                What an creative and intriguing concept, also the members of the union are cool.
                I want to see more of them, also Andy and the main girl (i still have problems writing her name) are really cute.

                    I also enjoy it, but as noted, the artist thought giving off rapey vibes was a good way to attract new readers. For people interested in the manga but (understandably) turned off by that kind of thing, I can say that it's dropped pretty early.

                      Good to know, it's a massive turn-off, even if played for gags or whatever.

                        Yeah, it hasn't been used since the first couple chapters, now it's all focused on the action. Thankfully.

                          Yeah, the first chapter is kind of a bad way to start this story, because after that, things are way more calm than that chapter seems to suggest.
                          I hope more people give it a chance because it's a great story and the characters and setting are amazing.

                                The fight with RIP is amazing.
                                Great use of the powers of all characters, nice artwork and a creative strategy.

                                I hope all fights in this manga are like this one.

                                Also congratulations for winning the new manga award!

                                  That's right! This just won the Tsugu ni Kuru Manga Taisho Award! (award for up-and-coming series)

                                  It seems to be plenty popular in Japan, WHY it's not getting more love here I don't know.

                                    Eh it happens, not all manga series will click. Maybe it's just needs some time to stew

                                      I've enjoyed it a lot but it's just that there's not much to talk about in the beginning of any manga when it's still in building stages.

                                        An unexpected mini-timeskip:

                                        Thankfully only a few months, a big time skip can bring so many potential problems.

                                          This twist would hit harder if this character had had more than, I dunno, 5 lines beforehand:

                                          I feel like this series is getting rushed, and I'm not happy about it.

                                            Not really feeling rushed, at least not recently. The first set of quests had the 99th penalty and after it failed we knew that failing 101 means Ragnarok. That part was already rushed since the concept was introduced. Under got a proper introduction last arc and there was some extra info about them and God last chapter.

                                            The manga is doing very well in Japan, so it's not taking drastic measures to avoid the axe either.

                                            About the traitor, he got the most development after Andy, Fuuko and maybe Chen. At least it was always established as a generally nice guy, a parental figure to Tatiana (he shot everyone except her, by the way) and a lot of hints that he was blind. The fact that these quest were open for everyone also means he didn't need the Union at all. If he had betrayed them earlier he would have automatically failed as long as there was a single quest that required more than 1 people from the roundtable (he even says it out loud "open to everyone, so here it is").

                                            Maybe if the author had starter with something like 97 or 98 penalties there would have been chance for some more developments like some explanations on artifacts and more fleshing of characters.

                                            Wash your hands.

                                              Bit more of a twist to the twist, but definitely getting more emotional:

                                                    I'm terrible at predictions but I'll wager that Latla's power is Unexpected. If she expects something to happen, she can reverse it in some way.

                                                          Kinda explains the "ark" I guess:

                                                          Also this whole shenanigan really would have hit harder if we'd had a mission with Billy before this.

                                                            Apparently the author had commented that he really wanted to get to the good parts, hence he rushed Billy/characters interactions in general. Still a good read with decent worldbuilding and foreshadowing.

                                                            Wash your hands.

                                                              I can understand wanting to get to the good parts, but even a short mission would have helped.

Combine that with 読書の秋 (dokusho no aki/fall is the best season for reading,) and I think this might be the basis for its design. #アンデラ #UndeadUnluck

                                                                      I'm trying to figure how Andy could have become Undead. His origin necesarily goes to the original world before the loop and suff happened, so he was a common mortal, then at some point death must have disappeared and then it came back as a penalty, with Andy becoming Undead.

                                                                      Also wonder how the first quest happened. Maybe Apocalipsis came from the sky, set up an open challenge for the whole population and they lost?

                                                                      Wash your hands.

Being able to appear to others might be reserved for negators or just him being more in control of his powers. Specifically, he can interact with others as Anno Un, which might tie into his speech about not being bound by negator rules.

                                                                                            The last few chapters were particularly amazing. Unknown has been developed to be by far my favorite character.

                                                                                            I hope the author figure a way for him to be able to interact with the others. Maybe a new artifact or something.

                                                                                            Btw, I've re-read the first few chapters and it's striking how this manga seemed to have been planned to go in a different direction in term of the interaction between the 2 MC as well as the kind of gags to be drawn (just look at the first color page :blink:). I wonder how big of a turnoff it could be to some people that judge adaptation by its 1st episode if it ever gets an anime.

He can ricochet bullets and use other negator's powers. The thing with the bullets could be a power that he copied from someone else or maybe it works on the same principle as the copying.
