I'd personally love to see one from Oda for Komi and Fujita for...well everything he does. <br /><br />I'll have to get back to Quadrable. Maybe the next post will have a feature on it. <br /><br />Meteor girl is going to get one more obligatory post next issue and after that it'll be up to my mood. Gotta be honest that unless chapter three is radically different I don't think it'll impress me either. I mean...I'm intrigued but not impressed if that makes any sense. K.O.I I'm only following for the art for now, lol.<br /><br />Evans is really the best thing to happen this serialization round. It really did come out of nowhere to be on top of the pack, and yes we will miss you porn. Gone but not forgotten.<br /><br />2 more to go? Hrm, that's sorta sudden but "sudden developments" are supposed to be sudden, and on that note I'm really amused that people are taking my joke seriously. I guess if I get enough votes maybe I'll do it?<br /><br />Youkai Giga is super good, yeah. While I normally don't like short manga, I think it's length compliments it. Until RYOKO returns, I think my favorites are Saike, Evans, Souboutei and Youkai Giga. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!

Unfortunately it doesn't look like Sunday series get artbooks all that often. At least they'll upload new wallpapers to their website once in a while.<br /><br />Soaring Quadrable is still pretty solid and makes for an entertaining read.<br /><br />I think I'll pass on KOI and MG. Idol stuff and horror isn't for me, no matter how cute and/or well drawn it is.<br /><br />Evans is growing on me. Farewell, porn collection. You will be fondly remembered.<br /><br />By my count Tokiwa should have two chapters left and end with chapter 120 for 13 volumes in total. I wonder what he is going to do after Tokiwa. He has been working a lot recently and I hope he can catch a break before he starts a new series. I have to admit that I enjoy his (doppelgänger) former disciple's new manga on yawaspi a lot more.<br /><br />Youkai Giga might be my new favourite series in this magazine together with Komi. I want to give Kuro a big hug.<br /><br />I'll second the vote for a shonen manga lexicon, because I did indeed misinterpret that line.peppermint teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979661397543353897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725595341696284033.post-78798378743996551472017-05-24T10:56:01.816-07:002017-05-24T10:56:01.816-07:00First, thanks for commenting!
I'd probably b...First, thanks for commenting! <br /><br />I'd probably be more into K.O.I if I were into the idol subculture, but since I'm not it's not nearly as interesting to me as it could be. Still Wakaki's art is probably as cute as shounen art gets so it's worth following on that merit. <br /><br />I'm not at all sure where Meteor Girl is going but I think that's the point right now. I hope Ishiyama has a plan with this really weird premise...<br /><br />Evans is the best new series in WSS right now. It's such a simple premise but Kuriyama gets some real mileage out of it. It's weird that Pheebs is basically pegged as "the girl" this early in the series but I really like her and Evans so I'm looking forward to seeing how their story spins out. <br /><br />Tenshi to Akuto is an interesting series for a shounen magazine. I'm sort of surprised that it's managed to last this long and sell about as much as Saike. I may end up doing what I did for Souboutei and buying the volumes to find out what happened to the "Tenshi" in the series...it really sucks no one is scanslating it though. <br /><br />KOTOYAMA has been dancing around romantic revelations lately, but I think he'll probably stay away from anything too heavy until the series ends. <br /><br />DameTerasu isn't...popular per se, it's debut was better than RYOKO's, but it seems the editorial staff is prioritizing popularity over sales in it's case. Which is what Jump seems to do and it works really well for them. <br /><br />Hirayasu's whole character arc was really interesting. I thought for a bit that he might join Saike's crew, but I guess that wasn't meant to be...though this whole part (9) was meant to shake up Saike's perspective and Fukuchi did a wonderful job with that. I hope he can keep that momentum going for part ten in July. <br /><br />I was kidding about the lexicon, but maybe I *should* do it, lol. "Sudden development" and "climax" are two terms that people tend to misunderstand. (Climaxes in shounen manga are not actually the end of a series/arc, but more like the pivotal point.) So it is worth considering.<br /><br />I feel kind of bad since the Unscientific lab actually does this with all of the mangaka in WSS, but since I have a Fukuchi bias his is the only one I've ever bothered to translate. Aoyama's was the one before this, and Takahashi was on. If only I weren't lazy...<br /><br />And you know, you're right. There was a lot of romantic tension this week. I wonder if the WSS issues go with some sort of theme....nah, it's probably coincidence.

Will be interesting to learn what the Meteor Girls themselves actually are. <br /><br />The romantic tension between Evans and Pheebs seems pretty funny based on how you outlined the recent chapter. I just like her character design a lot so I'm with you that I hope she appears more. <br /><br />That Tenshi to Akuto is really cute. I would totally watch a magical girl show with those character designs. I always enjoy reading about the goings-on in this series, so I really should start reading it myself sometime. <br /><br />Oh man, I wonder if there might seriously be a development in the relationship between Hotaru and Coconuts now. Hope that she answers him in the next chapter and they don't just move on into the next story. <br /><br />Weird that DameTerasu is ending despite being popular. Too bad, it looks like a charming series. <br /><br />Oof, Hirayasu cut deep with Saike. Really wonder where his character arc will go now as he contemplates whether he's being a hero or being selfish. July can't come soon enough!<br /><br />I really hope you do write a "shonen manga lexicon" guide. I think that would be really helpful since people misinterpret text and phrases about series coming to climaxes or endings all the time. <br /><br />Cool insights into the origin of Saike! I hope you translate these interviews with Fukuchi when you get the time, since they seem really interesting. <br /><br />Another great write-up and a solid week of Sunday! Lots of romantic tension this time around. ^^<br /><br />LumRanmaYashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684561256555683457noreply@blogger.com
