This was my first time reading something by Fujimoto
…
I really need to read Fujimoto's other work.
A lot of it is… different. It shares the sort of unencumbered, visceral goofy but kind of real sense, but if you go off to read Fire Punch or something it's going to be really... different.
fuckin… lol, i guess. goddamn. best thing he's done yet.
HxH came back! It's still great in all the ways that I remember it being (we'll see if that continues once the previously written chapters end). 5/5, one of my favorite manga of all time.
Kengan Omega is good, exactly what you want it to be, and it delivers 100% of the time. 4/5, fantastic and knows exactly what it is.
Kaiju 8 is solid, great art and paneling, the sense of action and space are really well conveyed. The pacing is... fine. 4/5
Dandadan is really hyped but I think the paneling and art overall are fantastic, so the stuff I find less appealing really can't outweigh the excellent bits. 4/5
Sakamoto Days and The Elusive Samurai are both good and well drawn and have okay premises, but never seem to deliver. I keep waiting for them to 'start', if that makes any sense. 3/5 because I like them a lot anyway.
The Boxer bad, just the same manupulative arc over and over. Art is whatever. 2/5
Tengoku Daimakyou not really this year but yeah, it's good still. I wish it came out faster as I have to reread the last 5 every time 1 new one comes out. 4/5 though, love the premise and the setting, lots of great vibes.
Dai Dark it's good... I think? 3/5
Magus of the Library is good - also wish it came out faster, also wish it would 'get started', if that makes sense again. Hard to give it a rating, so I won't. I like it.
Witch Hat Atelier is so well drawn and careful and charming that I love it way more than its technical merits suggest I should, 4.5/5
Sousou no Frieren is a standout, 5/5 for me. One of the few things I can week-to-week and just enjoy. Lush worlds, conjured with just enough penstrokes. Characters who are fun and cool without falling too far into tropes. Lovely manga, and really sad in a lot of ways.
I've been taking a break from Shadows House for a while but it's great too, and I hope to catch up soon. I think I said this in the thread for it, but it feels like it delivers on the promise that The Promised Neverland made, and then some. I hope it doesn't go to shit. I put this in the same genre as TPN and even Tengoku Daimakyou.
Ranger Reject has been an oddly satisfying romp through a weird world with lots of mystery and wonder and like - thinly veiled extreme violence. The premise is very seinnen, reminds me of... something, I can't recall what. Not Billy Bat, but... shit, idk. Good tho, 4/5.
I've tried to read a lot of other stuff and it's hard, I don't care for it. Please recommend me stuff, the world is a wasteland these days.
This manga has quickly gone on my favorites, even as the elusive samurai and sakamoto days lose interest. Interesting stuff, bit of intrigue, not too gimmick-y.
I imagine they're going to kill all of the monsters/civilians. Might be what the executives are looking for, even, idk.
The characters are good, the plot is fine, the designs are really great, and the paneling,layout, art, and everything else about this is just kinetic. Seems weird to be saying it but I'm excited to see where this author goes, and am okay with or even excited about the prospect of Dandadan ending.
jesus christ i check up on this manga every dozen chapters or ten and this is abysmal
I'm surprised the brainwashing worked so smoothly on a fiend; the Denji Spinal Cord Sword failed, right? Maybe Yoru will be able to break free of it or something.
I enjoy a lot of the manga quite a bit and certain parts not at all. I drop stuff all the time, and might do so here as well. But until then I get to post my opinions and you can ignore em or not in just the same way I can keep reading or not 
@Seafarer33 said in Dandadan:
@pariston_hill Dandadan : the manga where characters go to war over someone's balls. This is the stuff of legends, I reckon not even Chainsawman is that daring
Is it daring or just childish and stupid? I guess insipid crap like this is a good reminder that it's just a kids comic.
@puffing-cinema said in Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes:
I guess I enjoy Togashi's writing even when he's stalling, lol
I hate how true that is t_t;
These chapters have been great, anyone who's entertained thoughts of being an author understand the insane depths that tiny nuances in here hint at. As much as I hate the stochastic hopping around between POVs, I gotta admit it's only because I was invested in the previous one.
Agreed the flashback felt.. weird, forced. Idk, it's timely enough, and puts humanity into Nobunaga as he repeats his mistake with Gon and Killua, immediately falling in love with this other dude.
I'm about at my ~6-month time to catch up on this series. Stoked, and glad others are reading it too. Nothing valuable here, just posting
