Speaking of oneshots, I read the grandpa demon lord one from the latest issue and found it tremendously boring, easily the weakest of the special oneshots so far. Most of the chapter was infodumps and not even about anything interesting, like it spent 3 whole pages just explaining why MC calls his grandpa Jijii.

Adding to the one-shot conversation, is the third one fully translated?

I'm not dreaming right!?

 

[Nuesmoker]

Holy shit I am so winning right now

 

[echo]

Nice to see Himaten bounce back and Nue finally getting another color page.

The KB and Astro color page drought continues.

KGB hasn't had a color page for a while now too but I assume that is because the author can't handle it right now.

Hokazono is likely gonna have more covers down the line so it's probably for the best

A Corocoro series called ウソツキ！ゴクオーくん (Liar! Gokuo-Kun with Google translate)

My rough translation of the author's comment:

I'm honoured to be given the #1 spot! I'll continue to do my very best drawing the manga as thanks for everyone's support! Thank you so very much!

The veterans are really having a hard time...

Can't speak for Himani, but my issue with those is that they need to be customized and it's a hassle (and expensive). Not really worth it if you only go swimming a few times a year.

I always just wear my contacts. If they get ruined (or lost), so be it, they're disposable anyway. I've never lost one though, not even if I go under the water. Those things don't pop out nearly as easily as movies/manga would have you believe.

It looks like Himari's vision is about the same as mine, so I'd advise her to find and memorise some highly visible landmark(s) beforehand so she can find her way back even with impaired vision. Even without that, she can still see where the beach is, so just go there (instead of, y'know, panicking and screaming into the void. You are in waist deep water and you have a floating device, how are you this scared).


I agree. Sending multiple cards isn't cheating; if you are willing to spend five times the money, you get five times the say.

It skews the results a little bit, of course, but I can't imagine the scale of people doing this is big enough to really make a difference.

I just wear my daily contacts and then wear a normal swimming googles.

Most of the time if it is a normal swimming pool, i don't even wear googles.

I have a feeling both embers and beethoven gonna go to bottom 5 and act as new cushion

looks like we're getting a bit more kochikame (would be funny if this was with chojo again)

"It's going to get more and more interesting from now on."

-Asai's comment during the Anime Japan award.

I feel stupid for EVER being afraid now lol

Tragic that Love Bullet couldn't cut it any higher, but, oh well.
Congrats to Nue. I was seriously expecting another Girl Meets Rock sweep, and it didn't even make the shortlist (lol)

Good for him, if the lack of color page isnt any indication by now but this guy has been struggling for a while. Jump really needs to hire more assistants.
