Decent start for Animal Signal & Hal Formula considering how many volumes got released together, also Interesting to see Hal Formula above Animal Signal on day 2 🤔
Btw, To Love-ru Parade was 2nd place in the first day, only losing to WT, fans are hungry for more TLR Yabuki! 🙏

I can’t be the only one who thinks that it’s a little weird that Animal Signal (which doesn’t even rank that well) got 2 color pages and Hal got none. And now Hal Formula is looking to sell around the same (could even be better if it continues holding). And Hal’s by a pretty unknown name compared to Animal Signal.

Both are under Centuria and Empyreal Cabinet (which sell around 5.8K-7K) so they’re both probably dead anyways lol.

Defensor posted but deleted for some reason:

Most hilarious thing is starting with "It's very faithful to the source material" LMAO!

-It's very faithful to the source material but It's not 100% accurate
-Sakura is a much stronger character and already has her powers
-Naruto is also a bit of a ninja history nerd
-He's NOT in love with Sakura, but Sasuke is
-Sakura comes from a wealthy family. Her father died during Kurama's attack, and her mother is a rich snob
-Jinchuriki is something determined by bloodline. only certain people can have a beast sealed inside them.
I kinda link those two

You're comparing asian live actions that dont even get release here with a Hollywood movie directed by the guy that made the current 3rd highest box office movie in history, is not something that you can simply "ignore it", it will be in your face everywhere online

Yeah I mean look at this now. The plan is for them to make 8 films, with part 1 alone being a trilogy. They're going to be pushing this hard. But also then, why push up later stuff to be in the first film, thats so shortsighted.

Why this arc of Nue Exorcist is really like the final arc of this manga? Do you think Nue will continuing after this arc and begin the new arc, please share your thought about this arc and this situation?

Issue 45:

1. Nue's Exorcist
More hints at how contradictory Raisei is and a past that still isn't revealing what led him down this path. This tease also connects to him using the sword to "save" Nue, and the ambiguity of also saving Kasha, to how Gakuro arrives to continue her rescue and show her there are people for her, both now and in the past. Villain and hero are Nue exorcists.

2. Animal Signal
The main gag of them not even caring about the mission and getting deep into the idol performance was great and made fantastic use of the cast. I do think maybe the scientist octopus is a bit exaggerated, but this manga shines with the absurdist comedy and I'm always happy to see Kokone being the tsukkomi.

3. Ura
Enjoyed the idea of tying hand touch to all the prejudice Ura faced in her life. The whole process of Kibitsu closing their distance as he understands her worries, both in a personal and social sense, is satisfying.

4. Graykeith
Lovely plot with the sea monster having a language so outside the norms it's not written and needs to be said under specific circumstances. The author is handling the creative scenarios way better than I ever expected. Felt some pacing issues here as they tried to also give a main goal in the same chapter and the emotional beats would hit better with more time in the oven, but it's still good.

5. Roku
Everyone was waiting for a chapter focusing both on Sachiko and Altra and it delivered. Cuteness achieved.

As for the others... not happy with the direction Cannon Master went with the villains and Sakamoto Days still feels like an Early Access version of the manga.

Why this arc of Nue Exorcist is really like the final arc of this manga? Do you think Nue will continuing after this arc and begin the new arc, please share your thought about this arc and this situation?
Gashadokuro isn't even part of this arc.

God what a wonderful chapter of Greykeith. Absolutely beautiful. I’m so curious what bigger arcs for the series will be assuming it doesn’t follow the old school serial path like under Doctor.

So is Raisei just done in Nue?

I doubt it, there is still a lot to see about his past (like how he escaped the family, how he met Kasha, how he met NUE in fact, and more). He's as smart as Nue bare minimum, so no doubt he has a backup if his REAL plan needs to keep on going.
