@Nolus:

My doctor has been suggesting for some time that I get off the medication considering how far I've come. And the lowering has been going on for some time as well.

I won't settle back into "that" depression that got me on the medication in the first place. My doctor wouldn't have suggested lowering the dose and forgoing the stuff if that was the case.

Jitteriness is still there, but I've got some solid advice, so there won't be any big problems. My body just need to adjust.

So assuming I'm reading this right, you've been lowering the size of the doses over time and are now getting off them altogether? That's good.

To clarify, I wasn't saying that you needed to be on pills forever and ever and ever. I've just seen too many people start taking them, do well, then abruptly stop taking them (thinking they don't need them anymore) and wonder why they're depressed again.

@Nolus:

I'm feeling jittery, and… unbalanced somehow. I've stopped taking the anti-depressants, because I've truly wanted that for a long time and I wouldn't wait any longer.

I just hope I'll be able to overcome this period. This is only temporary, right? I sure hope so. Whatever's the case, I'm having another appointment with my doctor next week and will talk to her about this.

You're supposed to wean yourself off them, not quit cold turkey. You're going through withdrawal, and probably gonna settle back into your previous depression when you get used to that anxiety again.

Depression isn't like the flu. If you could just take some pills and then stop when the symptoms weren't there anymore, there wouldn't be any need to take them in the first place.

Ask your doctor about lowering your dosage when you see her. It's something you have to get used to bit by bit rather than all at once.

I like the fact that Aoyama got his time in the limelight, but it felt like it rushed to the "And then Aoyama realized his insecurities were all in his head and that he's just a member of Class A as everyone else! :)))" end of his character arc while skipping the elaboration on it in the first place. Like, we know he's a coward who overcompensates for it by being flashy, but we never got that insecurity really brought up in the first place; so it's like we got a solution to an unestablished problem and it lacks satisfaction because of that.

Though Aoyama's grimace in that one panel when the exercise ended might indicate the pep talk didn't do it's job. Which would mean it's only just beginning of his development. That'd be nice.

That aside, that bird swarm with Tokoyami in the middle was pretty cool.

As for Vigilante:

Furuhashi was obviously trying to mirror MHA's first chapter (MC's life sucks -> Hero aspirations but no self-confidence -> important-person-to-the-story's in trouble -> MC about to leave -> the begging-for-help look makes him stay -> tries to help but fails -> COOL BUFF HERO MAN comes and saves the day -> MC told he can be a hero), but it lacks Horikoshi's grounding and shambles from point to point without considering the implications of the characters' actions. Also it's weird how Pop Step was left hanging in the air at the end - not even a line of dialogue then bouncing out of there? Also those villains were a train wreck Jesus Christ (at least there was an effort to make them more than Random Villain Group A, though; so there's that).

Knuckleduster is pretty great, though. And since this was only the first chapter, hopefully it'll develop in a better direction (especially since it's from a more lawless down-n'-dirty POV). I'd like to see how the trio's powers work together in tandem; Koichi and Pop Step could easily be speedsters in their own ways when they gitgud.

Kaminari using the right hand rule to fire his electricity was a pretty nice touch.

@KageKageKing:

New Layton game.

With a talking dog and all.

Flora could've been the protagonist instead of needing to make someone new. She's Layton's daughter and an established character.

Though she is garbage as a character. I can see why they wouldn't bother.

Kaminari

+Design was originally villainous-looking
+Costume doesn't have anything to help him control his power, despite having such a glaring weakness
+It was never confirmed who was doing the jamming at USJ
+Might have been safe from the hostage-taking villain's power
+Safe in the lodge during the camp raid
+Stupidity could be a front
+Thought Stain was cool
-Jirou was the one to push him to do stuff during USJ
-He and Mineta are the perverted comic relief

Hagakure

+Haven't seen her real quirk
+Can't tell what she's really thinking
+Somehow saw both Ojiro AND Todoroki during USJ
+May not have been aware of the rescue Kacchan plan since she was KO'ed by gas (hence why no villains planned for it)
-Was seen sleeping during summer camp
-Was knocked out by poison gas during the camp raid

Ojiro

+Managed to take out a bunch of bad guys on his own during USJ (which was never shown)
+Dropped out of the tournament (his excuse was Shinsou, but he may have had another excuse ready)
+Plainness may be intentional to deflect suspicion
+Safe in the lodge during camp raid.
+Wasn't seen asleep during summer camp
-Helped Deku during the tournament
-So plain it would be hard to make the inevitable betrayal hurt.

Aoyama

+Unknown location during USJ
+Mostly unknown location during the raid
+Wasn't seen asleep during summer camp
+Flashy stupidity could be a front
-Shot Mr. Compress while the composition was from his perspective (which shows he really was worried)
-Was shown to be really worried during the All Might fight

So what're everyone's thoughts on the "Kaminari is the traitor" thoery?

@KageKageKing:

Jesus Christ, Iwamoto. What the fuck happened? ಠ_ಠ

@spyda:

a new series from Kenta Shinohara (Sket Dance) will start publishing on Shonen Jump+ on Monday

Wooo space adventures.

I take it it's not a comedy then?

@King:

Databook has been out for a while. Some cool info in there such as Class B hero names and names/Quirks for the rest of them.

Yes, but when will it be out in English.

Uuuuuugh. I want it so baaaaad.

Also, I find it kinda weird that Kaminari is E-rank in intelligence. He seemed like he'd be one of those people that's a crouching hidden smarty since he uses big words once in awhile and referenced Hemingway that one time.

It's pretty fun. Rebecca's the best. Thanks for sharing.

(I really wish he'd fix his habit of putting a bunch of sentences in once bubble, though. It's do disrupting.)
