    Yeah I'm pretty sure it's in the phase of "we had a good hook, now let's figure out what the comic is about."

    Honestly, if it turns into slice-of-life about half-monste kids (there's already been a bit of implication that there's at least another half-monster kid in the class, and the teacher is way to chill about everything), i'm very much down for this.

    I haven't even read Chainsaw Man aside from the occasional panel that gets posted here and I think it's really funny.

    I think its a decent metaphor for puberty but also they have to give her powers in case they need to shift the story

    It also feels like a metaphor for it being ok to stand out or be different, which is obviously a big nono in Japanese culture. Like she has horns and breaths fire and yet her friends accept her, yes, but also how she's coming from a single parent family, etc. Which is why the story is still so like normal-life focused - she's part dragon but she's still just a normal kid!

    Which is nice but it's still a bit thematically vague - like, yes OK it's OK to be different, but what kind of different are we talking about exactly? Nontraditional family? Queer metaphor? Racial metaphor? Gifted child?

    The Knights of the Zodiac SDCC panel was a big pile of nothing.

    The movie is due for 2023 and you think they would show off what the actors look like with the armor.

    Wait, isn't the whole point that Kazuya chose a long time ago and has been actively trying to get two of the others out of his life while being friends with the fourth one?

    Well, maybe 'actively trying' is a bit of an over exaggeration because he is one passive motherfucker, but he still wants them out of his life.

    The MC in Rental Girlfriend is the biggest PoS MC in romcom history. Crafted to be nauseatingly unlikable.

    Dandadan, last week's chapter-
    "Oh that's totally supposed to be a tokusatsu monster. Wonder why it's human sized."

    I am not disappointed by this week's chapter.

    Feels like they're giving it some leeway after the boat anchor around its neck got the axe, and the "attack and dethrone god" story arc has some hooks.

    General talk is that is becoming noticeable that right now Jump is a sports team where all the top players are retiring at the same time and the bench is looking thin until their big recruiting blitz on Obon aka mid-August.

    I haven't really been excited for Jump in a while, especially compared to the halcyon days of the Big 3 all in serialization at the same time.

    I have never watched One Piece because I'm too off-put by its art style.

    Also I hear it's like five billion episodes long.

    which art style, the original or the current?

    I've only ever seen the one style. I'm assuming it's the original.

    For the most part, the art improves.

    With Nami and Robin being the only real exception.

    God I miss their old designs so much, Oda please stop making every woman in your series look exactly the same.

    Just watched first ep of Uncle From Another World.

    Intrigued. It held my interest throughout, unlike Konosuba. Maybe it's the increased maturity of the cast?

    Honestly, i find that One Piece's art style is unreadably busy these days. There's just a LOT going on, and it all kind of blends together to me.

    As to jump... what's good right now...

    Spy X Family and Kaiju No 8 are both keeping up quality, even if they're on pretty slow release schedules (But hey, i'd rather the creatives keep their health). Chainsaw Man is off to a roaring start on part 2. Dandadan is either you love it or you hate it, but it's def quality. Jujutsu Kaisen is keeping things up, though i got the impression it's also working towards a finale of some kind? Cant rember where i saw that though. Akane-Banashi is genuinely really good, and i'm hoping it keeps on rolling - though it's very much not a shonen. (I would laugh very hard if it somehow pivoted into a battle shonen, and also be very annoyed). One Punch Man is finally finally wrapping up this stupidly long arc it's been stuck in for literal years. and Ruri-dragon is showing potential.

    So, quick question, is anyone watching, or reading Black Summoner?

    It's Isekai trash, and I am a trash goblin, but I do have one spoilerrific question for anyone familiar with the source material
    So, like, he goes to buy a slave in the third episode? And this is treated as a trope? Like as an Isekai trope now, to have a slave? Is this fucking forreal? Please tell me this changes and is not as completely fucking disgusting as it appears to be at face value? Like this is some wholesome isekai rite of passage now to buy a fucking member of your harem now?

    I literally could not finish the episode as I was getting way, way too heated.
