Land of Monsters - Chapter 25:

Kind of surprised they bypassed the fight with the bandits. Though the reality that Mitsukai is about to die is sad. :mjcry: At least she will enjoy her time while it lasts rather than dying alone. Though it does seem that Lune will be joining the group at the very least.

Man Yayoi continues to be a savage with these strategies :picard:

The clear focus is both Tein & the replaced. Of course Kubo in the long term. It does seem Toba has a good head on his shoulders. Definitely he & Oobashi are the two promising new characters.

Interesting part is that Kubo has evolved like a graduate. It makes sense when you think about how these ghosts are structured. Though it clearly was fed a god item, which with the white aura, it would presume that their difficulty is that of a god as the worst-case scenario now. Though, my god, Yayoi's strategies continue to be savage af. The idea of taking the replaced and having them each other to use against Kubo. It's definitely a good strategy, but damn.

One thing I noticed is that woman's attire is oddly similar to Shoho. Could it even be possible she is replaced too? Well, Yayoi gets to prove herself to Oobashi as he watches.

Nice to see Shade snapping out of it even without the full length of the film. It's clear as hell that Ice messed up & pissed him off. Though it was a great fight for Tanpopo fighting for Shade. Interesting to note that Shade has healing capabilities. Tbh I doubt he has shown the true capabilities of his strength.

Of course there is still Prima & Stella. Curious what them being combined has in store for the group.

So Black Mamba has some OG members who remember when they had dignity, well some of it. Moreover, Rokuro & Meru being the main members pushed the new Black Mamba. I'm curious what these two members do, but they don't have much they can do now.

So Kirishima will be working with Susui. Though I highly suspect Riri faked her death. On another note, it does seem that Riri has gotten noticeably more powerful. Or perhaps she never showed her strength maybe?

I just read Kagura Bachi because I was bored and I didn't know it was some heat like that. I literally caught up in two days! I can't wait until this one is animated by Mappa or Ufotable:banderas:

Idk about Mappa (well they are busy with JJK & CSM for their A-team), but UFO is working on Genshin after Demon Slayer.

But that whole auction arc in Bachi was :wow:.

I got a see that Chiro vs Samura animated. All of the fights in this one have looked amazing. So I need whoever does it to do the justice :banderas:

I am actually genuinely interested to learn more of Denken & Fräse's relationship. The emperor's confidence in her shouldn't be short-sighted, considering he is comparing her to Denken, whom we know all too well. What could possibly be the reason for keeping Denken out?

Well no surprise, Übel's idea is to attack first, then wait to be attacked. Well we are jumping into the action. Though I do expect Land has his clone out.

I knew Mitsukai wouldn't be around, but that color page really hits in the feels :mjcry:. I liked the mention of how Lune wanted to know the outside world because of Mitsukai. At the same time, Rabi is keen to know more about his mother. In fact, her true self is probably as strange as Rabi. What we see from Rabi is close to what she was like.

Kind of surprised to see one of Oki's friends so soon. I am really curious what language the girl spoke. Hona seems affiliated with the wolf, but what most interesting is that Alfur is after him at the moment.

Grand Blue being able to switch between comedy to a serious endearing scene back to comedy never fails to impress including executing on both fronts. :wow:

Love how much with Tokki, Buki, Azusa & Nanaka each of the 4 underclassmen would make for a great leader. (Granted Kouhei might not be the best option clearly.) Still, they are an integral part of the club. Of course Iori has the best skillset as a leader, but each is a key cog in both PaB & this manga.

Empyreal Cabinet - Chapter 14:

Love to see the aftermath of the previous chapter.

  • We are introduced to one of Osuke's concubines, Yayoi. There is something about her that really makes it feel like Akito takes after her. Kind of feels like she will be a pain going forward.
  • Oshiro's side getting a benefit from this. Although there isn't much love in his arranged marriage with Kiriu's daughter. Curious situation.
  • I love that Ichinojo knew that it was Toyo's doing. Makes me wonder what is bound to happen next.
Well this chapter really showed how strong and how versatile Ellenor is. Unlike Zeo & Elfie are with Electricity+Physical & Ice respectively. Ellenor can use a wide range and using them together makes it a giant threat to be feared. Rather interesting the collar had more use then just being a plaything. Potentially it could also highlight she cares for Wignall more than she will admit.

War of the Adults - Chapter 17:

Given how he was about that bar I expect Yu to be very bashful, but I don't think he would fall for the trap. Although I do think Adachi is very intriguing at the very least. The idea is society is a reflection of human behavior. After all, if you know you are being watched you are more likely to do the action you are supposed to do. It adds up with her line of thinking.

One thing that is clear is that this Amane also came from the past. In fact, he is the one who met Nene at the festival awhile back. Though the question remains that this is a key point. So as Tsukasa mentioned that Amane originally couldn't fix the clock, then that means the clock keepers got involved and were able to guide him to the past. So that means Amane is what caused this change. What is the change, though? I guess for Nene to fix things, she might need to stop Amane in what he was planning to do. It's hard to say what it is yet.

This being a dance manga, it is actually well thought out . The mangaka actually really knows his shyt. This is definitely one where the anime can really elevate itself. But 1 volume in it's pretty solid, setting a good foundation.

So Riri got wiped out from the small bit of memory rewind she performed on Kirishima. It's hard to say if that flashback reflection is to imply she used to be much stronger. Although Meru called Riri weak back then. It's interesting what she was really like back then.

A bit tough to make Kirishima out yet, but he should be a force. Also, them finding Black Mamba's hideout could escalate things.

Bug Ego - Chapter 12:

Hitsujiya basically became the bug by going beyond the rules of the tree trunk hack. Well, fixing Hitsujiya will not be an easy fix, most likely. Curious how they go about it.

One who never thinks and the one who is always thinking make for quite the pair. Some notes.

  • Shadow Warriors are engaging, but the empire is still on standby after Übel & Land engaged with Iris & Routine.
  • Elsa is resistant to ailments, though the way she said that was freaky, lol.
  • So the big takeaway is they can't detect mana. That is probably going to be the big thing in these showdowns. Curious how Übel handles it.

Interesting to gauge the answers of the different girl.

  • Shinobu - Her answer is with uncertainty, and more than likely it is better to wait it out. It makes sense with her character, as she is overthinking a lot of the time.
  • Iko - Her is surprising because her latest arc has her facing her challenges. Though having to give an answer to Arisu would make her run away.
  • Rikka - Her answer feels the most mature. Rikkka has always been the most proactive among the girls.
  • Nene - This one follows up on her recent arc of having both feelings of hate and love being fine. For her to embrace the love side. Though it is quite unexpected, she would give that answer.

Given the words Apollo used and basically that of potentially overthinking or running away. This feels more aligned towards Shinobu or Iko I would say. Though why did Apollo do that, I wonder?

I am surprised the fight ended quickly for Prima & Stella. Who were Ichika & Hoshika. Truly it's terrible what their father did in leaving them and what their mother pushed on them. Then meeting Ice just gave them the opportunity to push their frustrations out. Though of course, as we know, Tanpopo can give them that 2nd chance.

Oz carrying the soul of Oki is rather interesting. Though just the remarks that Oki's son isn't worthy of being entrusted with her soul had to hurt. Though what seems like Alfur coming to rip Oz's head was beyond what I was expecting :damn:

Wandance - Volume 3:

Honestly, how in-depth the manga dives into dance, breakdancing, dance battles, etc., is very impressive. One of the biggest themes of this series is clearly passion for dancing. Which both Miyao & Assay comment on. Though Iori's comments on sound are another point that the author actually gets . As the difference in sound quality can make a huge difference. In fact, Iori is the one character that definitely can push the envelope for Kabo to grow.
