They did 2 actual (small) arcs in boruto, and it's already the timeskip?

No, that was a false alarm.

That said, the fact that Boruto has had just two actual arcs in about three years of publication is...telling. Especially when one of those arcs can be summed up as "Team 7 walk somewhere, fight a villain, then find Kawaki".

Yeah and they spend a full forty pages on Naruto martial artsing a literal who.

I still don't know what's more flabbergasting, that the Naruto vs Delta fight dragged out for three months despite Boruto having nothing to do with it, or that, in 100 episodes, the Boruto anime has yet to actually adapt the goddamn manga.

Read that as "Naruto vs Delta flight" and didn't get why they have airline companies in Konoha now.

Still find that face off-putting.

Do we still lack a clarification on the Boruto situation?

Its a mask lol

I know. My point stands. I feel like Kinnikuman's design is appeal repellent.

I feel the exact opposite as there's a lot of creativity with the designs. The wacky/stupid ones fit right in the series.

The best designs from Kinnikuman are Akuma Shogon and Robin Mask. Akuma is hands down one of the best design for a villain in shonen. I dont have much of an issue of Kinnikuman design and is a parody of Ultraman

For me, Akuma Shogun too, and Buffaloman. What a chad.

I'm reading the new Kinnikuman chapters and current arc is being a wild ride.

Spoiler

There's translations for the chapters?

Yep, by Hercules Scans.

I had a dream last night that Chainsaw Man just kind of abruptly ended at chapter 30, and it has me worried.

[Scruffy8642]

Chainsaw Man’s not going anywhere. Considering they currently have 5 brand new series who’s futures are unknown (Assuming Sam8 is going nowhere soon), they’re about to lose Soma, and will probably also lose HZ and Yuuna this year, that’s a whole lot places for unestablished series. It’s an extremely safe time to be in the magazine, and if something performs even remotely well sales wise, we can probably expect it to stick around. Even if 3 of the current 5 (again, not counting Sam8) stick around, I still can’t imagine CSM going anywhere. That said, based off how recent events have unfolded, it’ll probably end up being a relatively short series for Jump standards anyway considering it’s Fujimoto.

Honestly, considering that we'll most likely see WNL, Kimetsu and Neverland conclude in the first half of 2020, we're entering an utter free for all.
