    As far as I'm concerned, the beginning was awkward. Whereas the one-shot had a likable yet strong guy on a fun adventure, the serialized Manga had your usual little kid doing... well, nothing very interesting. IMO, the beginning would have served better as a flashback. I hear it got better...

    Shounen Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge

    Well, what can I say... if the author wants me to root for the polygamous ship, I'll root for the polygamous ship. Who am I to oppose the will of KnY's god?

    Our hero has already charmed so many Butterfly girls! A true Manga character he is!

    I really doubt that Toriko's Mangaka wast forced to go to a lighter magazine. Even if it lost its popularity, Toriko still sold overall well through it's existence, and just the fact that it was once very popular is enough for him to be considered "promising". Also, this certainly isn't out of...

    It was more of a trolling towards people who made stupid theories tbh: make them think their stupid theories might be correct, and then sink them into the sea. The shippers themselves also got what they wanted. In any case, Boruto starts with the filler. Usually I'd say that it may not be bad...

    Rankings always mean something, even for series too early to have given any results. If nothing else, they show the position that professional editors, with access to yet unreleased chapters, think a series should have, aka their expectations for how well it will be doing in the magazine. Of...

    Well, DP seems to be dying. And before someone says it is unranked, let's remember some things: - none of the series in ToC are hard-ranked. The editors make the order based on the ranks and several other factors - as soon as the editors get some feedback on how well received a series is, that...

    I can't imagine Luffy fitting in with Marines. He is a guy who loves freedom and doing what he wants, not discipline and following orders. In other words, Luffy would need to be a completely different character in order for him to fit in with this plotline.

    Shark Bait continues living to his name I see.

    With the pacing that the Demon's Plan has, she is standing out as any other (shallow) Shounen heroine. My problem is that you could turn her into an illiterate peasant girl that spent her whole life sweeping her evil mother's floors, and it would not affect the story at all (well, other than the...

    Eustass was following them for a while, though it's still a mystery when exactly he found Boro, though it's possible that the masked guy sent him like he did the other one. Me biggest grip is Salvia though. She is supposed to be some Information Guru, but other than leading Boro to her this...

    When they feel like a series deserves it, Shueisha sometimes "ends" a series but puts the actual final chapters in another magazine. However, it is never too many chapters (though the number of pages can be high), only enough to make the ending feel a little bit less abrupt. So all in all, they...

    Someone counted how much filler there is. It isn't half, but is above 40% filler. The Sarada Manga (because thats what it practically is) and the movie stuff should be done in one cour, maybe one and a half. So yeah, we are definitely going to be into a mostly filler journey. I hope Kishimoto...

    I think the problem with Red Sprite, at least based on chaps I checked, was that it was waaay too fast-paced and the MC started way too strong.

    The problem with her is that she is the usual Shounen protagonist: "not too bright, but with heart of gold". On other hand, her two compatriots are intelligent and as such they have a bit more to do here. However, I expect Emma to get more relevance whenever the actions starts, though she is...
