These posts are not insightful, and do not meaningfully contribute to this thread. Also, this decision is not up for discussion, so posts discussing this decision will also be deleted.~ Halloween

Off topic question but does anyone knows which chapter of haikyuu season 4 cour 1 leaves off because I’m also planning to finish the manga.

Omg, if only they'd ship to America. Doubt they'd pay DHL.

Glad I'm not the only one who gets lost with Jujutsu Kaisen. It's definitely got similarities to the early art style of Bleach, but Kubo always made Bleach very easy to read. It's almost like with JJK there's a time lag between panels. It can feel like it's jumping too fast between one action to another sometimes that I have to re-read to process it, and even then it's not that clear. And there are also quite a few cliffhangers that feel like they hit the last page from nowhere. Fingers crossed the anime manages to iron out its messier parts.

I can't say I feel the same but I also have a problem with Jujutsu which I don't know if others feel as well. I'm reading the manga since the beginning and I still don't understand the battle system of the manga. lol

Quick question: The view count we see in M+ are monthly views right? IIRC, M+ used to post the total views before stopping at some point.

Ghost Girl was irritating for me.
I like the idea of demons wanting to i
possess the mc's body to become stronger, and our Shinigami character possessing her to become that cool but funny shark looking scythe.
However, really not too fond of how the Shinigami is basically Andy but an openly proud pedophile to boot.
And while I do like what's shown of the power system as I mentioned previously, I'm really not that excited about reading another series with a generic modern day Japan exorcist setting.

 

[SharkBait]

I dont know if I would celebrate view count all that much. Bots and spiders, people clicking only on the first chapter, refreshes...we don't know what counts as a view exactly.

I wish they would count it as people to click through a chapter, or highlight it per chapter, and to total.

Also how many not in JPN?

 

[Gilroygladbouy]

I just finished reading Ghost Reaper Girl and honestly I thought it was alright. I didn’t have much of a problem with the vertical stuff after a little bit so that’s good. But overall everything was just pretty alright.

I agree about the lolicon thing, but I feel his definition of a loli is off base.

Chloe, physically, is not a loli. She's just a petite woman with small breasts. It's like if someone said Rukia from Bleach is a loli. No, she isn't, she just has a really small frame, etc.

Reprint Information - 7/13

Complete distribution

8/18 Undead Unluck 1, 2

This coincides with the announcement of the results of Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taishou, which is on the 19th, so they have some expectations for it.

Yes, but initially he thought she was a loli. Upon the demons telling him her actual age he reacted shocked and perhaps angry. However he reasoned it to himself that her appearance looking like a loli was close enough.
Super problematic.

I liked Ghost Girl, but the lolicon stuff feel superfluous considering the main character is a grown woman. Like, what's the point? Could have made him a fanboy of "magical girls" and it would have been functionally the same.

 

[WyldViolet]

Yes, but the gag was that she was repeatedly mistaken for being a young girl.

Also loli and magical girls would not be functionally the same.
One is a word that means young girl, and the other is regarding a class of fictional characters that don't necessarily have to be underaged.

This series is just further evidence that Japan's pedophilia problem is still prevelant in mainstream society to a disturbing level.

 

[Halloween]

Yes, but the gag was that she was repeatedly mistaken for being a young girl.

She doesn't look like a young girl, though.

She looks like someone in her twenties.

 

[Griff]

Can we expect another 3m+ week for KNY?

 

[WyldViolet]

She doesn't look like a young girl, though.

She looks like someone in her twenties.

Dude, reread the stuff with the casting agent. He clearly says she looks even younger than 20.
Reread when the Shinigami is told she isn't actually a loli.
The joke is that she looks YOUNGER than her 20's to the agent.
And that she looks like a loli to the Shinigami.

Is this another situation where people are ignoring problematic details because they don't want to feel bad for liking the series?

 

[OtterBrigade]

Personally I think she looks how 2nd or 3rd year high school girls are frequently portrayed in manga. I certainly do not see her as someone a slef-proclaimed "lolicon" would go after though.
