Haven't posted in a month so here's a long overview on my thoughts: This Hunter x Hunter batch has been excellent (duh), appreciate that Togashi stuck entirely with the Special Martial Law storyline and all the fallout there on Tier 1. In particular, this last chapter was up there as some of...

I still haven't gone fully into the quality of the translations for Manga Million, so they may be shit based on the very loud conversation about the use of AI (despite their claims otherwise), but let's see. At the very least, the two major completely untranslated series that have a chapters...

Shueisha have just dropped a new service (MANGA MILLION) currently hosts 382 manga titles, all of which are available in English - for free. Still going through the list for new translations, but Kochikame getting hundreds of chapter released is kind of incredible. My completionism of the early...

In terms of their ranking as series overall: S-tier: Hunter x Hunter A-tier: One Piece, Akane-banashi B-tier: Sakamoto Days, Ichi the Witch, Kagurabachi, RuriDragon, Me & Roboco, Cannon Master, WITCH WATCH C-tier: Shinobi Undercover, Under Doctor, Roku's House of Oddities, Hal Formula, Someone...

Now that we're fully caught up with the martial law in Hunter x Hunter we get a pretty straightforward confrontation featuring three of the four eldest princes. Pretty brutal stuff in having Benjamin and Camilla both be tied to these waiting games of who outlasts the other thanks to their nen...

As someone who loved Green Green Greens, yeah, it is better than Hal Formula, which feels like it's running red flags every chapter that we need that to pay off - unless what we're getting is actually going to remain the main storyline in the way its presented? Despite that comment on it being...

Ur is fine the way he is being used right now. Half of Bharat's character is him feeling inadequate to be the tutor/master to a superpower kid who looks up to him. If he didn't exist or was changed dramatically within the narrative or just didn't exist then that would alter what makes Bharat as...

Franz acknowledging that Bleach might actually be coming back? Something truly seismic shifted in the atmosphere today. There's an ongoing annoying fight on twitter between a leak claiming that the final cour is 10 episodes, but there being lack of clarity whether that includes or excludes the...

It will be weird not reading Blue Box every week after it being the romance staple of the magazine for the almost this whole decade. On balance, I think the series was best pre-confession, and also had lots of character highlights up until Chinatsu graduated. I can see why the series kept going...

By the sounds of it they obviously can't reveal the source of the news as it's not going to be the typical announcement via the magazine, which is why people were keeping it as dropping hints rather than saying anything explicit, until the one particular leaker with his ego couldn't help but...

That MV announcement was a continuation of the countdown of the full series that's been ongoing for a while now, just this time it was the Lost Agent/Fullbring arc, I believe. The timing of it made people believe it was for something more. The news of the Bleach manga returning to the manga...

A really strong issue this week, and not just because Hunter x Hunter is back (but that sure does help). Really glad we kicked off this batch with a return to Kurapika and the minute machinations of these tertiary characters, setting up for this revelation/clarification that there's actually no...

Kubo will never draw detailed backgrounds on every page and nor should he. It's not the sort of art he likes to produce and it got him one of the most popular manga series of all time, so why would he? He has a minimalist, identifiable, and iconic style. He doesn't cram anything on his pages -...

Yeah, so I cannot fucking wait for Bleach to come back. It's an understatement to say I'm a massive fan. It's pretty much the reason I'm into manga at all. I had a YT channel on it back in the day, blogged it weekly throughout TWBY when I was on RandomC. Been reading weekly since high school...

At this point half of me wants Bleach Hell arc to be serialised because it's my favourite manga of all time, and the other half of me just wants to see you admit that it is in fact happening after years of playing ignorant on it not coming back in some form. Anyway, more of the usual...
