The trailer looks good. The artstyle seems inspired by Mappa at first glance. JJK s1 in terms of character design and CSM s1 in terms of the heavy style. But unlike CSM, Kagurabachi is made to be cinematic so it would fit this well. Outside of a few sus frames it looks great for being a year...
My thoughts on the batch.
Under Doctor - I really wanted to like this since I am an anesthesiology resident but man it is just too wordy. We don’t need a ton of speech bubbles every page. Medicine can easily be simplified for the layman. The action had no stakes in the second chapter and the...
Honestly I feel like we have seen all the potential Kiyoshill will have. The plot is all over the place and Kiyoshi’s quirk isn’t really there anymore. This will never be Akane. I would axe Kiyoshi though. The stagnation is terrible for a battle shonen. But Shinobi while performing better I...
Kagurabachi is an anomaly. Its first chapter leaked the same time JJK chapter 236 leaked so the animanga community was far more active to take notice of it, it had insanely high views on MangaPlus for a first chapter which made the Mangaplus higher ups promote it in Japan, and it grew interest...
Kawaguchi’s new manga is so good. I love the art and it has more heart than Red Hood had imo. I hope it escapes the axe and becomes a big hit like Kgb and Ichi.
Once upon a time, I would be happy that Yoza and UU have been ushered out. But now i fell bittersweet as only one seems to have a solid conclusion, and another thing is that we now have 8 mainstays (6 minus gags) that all sell lower than these “undeserved” long runners. Who can say that the new...
Looking at Weekly Shoseki, Sakamoto’s boost is better than Dandadan’s initially but worse than Blue Box’s but it had one less day of impact. For daily rankings it is much weaker but that may be due to so many backlogs of the big Dec releases clogging things up, as the Weekly numbers don’t have...
Wow I was more right than i thought. And this predictions was a shitpost. OP, JJK, WW, KB and some of the axed series was perfect and Kgb was close though, which i am proud of.
God i hope Usazaki succeeds. Loved her art in Act-Age. And she is paired with a successful author AND it looks like an adventure manga. WSJ is so back!
