What chapter did Kill Blue s1 get up to?

30 chapters! From 1 to 30 without skipping anything.

 

[tirakai]

With that pacing, they could probably even squeeze four cour out of it:

- s2 up to Hexagon Manor (ch 63)
- s3 up to Noren realising she likes Juuzo just after the principal battle (ch 93)
- s4 adapting the last two arcs and expanding on them to feel less rushed (or adapting the LN, but from what I've read that's just a collection of short comedy stories)

I except Kill Blue was planned as split cour from the start like many shows with final ep s2 announcement are, and s2 will be the last one possibly having a filler end (either Hexagon Manor leading directly into the final battle since the stuff past it doesn't really matter, or skipping stuff in s2 reconfiguring the Principal battle into the final battle somehow), but it would be really funny if the series does get a full adaptation like that and the anime runs for longer than the manga did.

I don't think it's a split cour decided from the start actually, because in the last message announcing S2, Fujimaki said "Specific details on the timing and content haven't been finalized yet." If it was a split, they also would have say "hey, S2 is coming in 2027/[specific season] in 2027" like Akane. And SugoiLITE would have specified it was a split from episode count, like he did with Akane. So I believe they just decided it not so long ago.
And also, I agree with your pacing, if it's a complete adaptation, I think it will be like that. They will definitely expand and add new content also, like they did in S1, adding and reorganizing things. (Ofc if it gets a complete adaptation. We don't know yet.)

Made it to the part where

Spoiler

Luffy meets Loki.

Did some calculations and i'm 95% sure Blue Box will end with chapter 250
As it stands the series will need 5 more chapters to finish volume 28; I imagine they'll throw in the original 2020 oneshot so that'll probably fill in the space a hypothetical 251 and 252 would take; beyond that, 250 is a neat, round number to end on and the only other things that'd be worth putting in (Taiki's graduation and the inevitable timeskip) can be easily covered in the last few chapters

Mission: Yozakura Family Season 2 Part 2 announced for October 2026!!!



I knew being 12 episodes was weird, it was actually split cour all the time

Ichi the Witch has reached 2.200.000 copies in circulation with 9 volumes.

If anyone has rednote, here is the entire content of the new Akira Amano artbook released for the exhibition. Her art is always so amazing. I love her bishonens so much.

And finally, a proper size! My biggest complaint about her previous KHR artbook was the small size.

Hand holding in this kid-friendly WSJ??

 

[Nuesmoker]

Incredibly hype Nue this week, but I sure wish I could read this chapter with more than 5 fucking pixels on the screen. Thanks, Manga+.

 

[monstera11]

Ichi does Ping Pong Peril better than Ping Pong Peril

Hand holding in this kid-friendly WSJ??

Not next to the uno cards...

 

[tirakai]

And this is the conclusion of Hima-Ten. I wonder if it'll get an anime announcement at some point (maybe with an extra bonus chapter running), or if it was never quite popular enough to gather interest.

Honoka's the boring 'safe' end but it does make sense for Tenichi's goal of having a normal household. The other two being celebrities would certainly make it hard for him to have the normal uneventful life he wants. I will give the author props for not going with the girl in the title at least, even if Honoka's the one MC always liked that still takes some balls.

I do wish it had went with either of the other two though, and instead of ended here I think it would've been really interesting for it have him start dating either Himari or Kanna and have to adjust to being a celebrity boyfriend. That's not really the kind of series it was (harems can't really continue as is after MC's started dating one of the girls) but it would've certainly been quite unique.

 

[monstera11]

Himaten ending is cute. But wow holy shit, the bait Ono put in the end and the subsequent spit to Iemori x Himari shippers lmao. I will be honest, the only reason i find the ending cute is because i literally only read Himaten from ch 95 (skipping 1 to 94), so i have zero attachments or investments in the story. I can understand why people are upset

His biggest mistake is calling it Himaten... it created expectations.

Feels so good to read a new Hunter x Hunter chapter for the first time in 18 months, nothing like it.

1: Akane
2: HxH
3: Hertz
4: Ichi
5: BB

 

[RealityChecker]

Kagurabachi 12 is now for September, against Kochikame.

 

[tirakai]

Roku being put up against Class 2B directly is interesting, no doubt Class 2B will sell more with Sorachi's fanbase behind it but I wonder if we'll see people picking up both while they're out, or if the small poopootoilet count will keep Class 2B fans away from Roku.

Outright fertility-rate increase propaganda in Blue Box this week.
