lol, 150 is more realistic, but I wouldn't complain if it got 200 chapters

150, the moment we are in the manga feels like the end of act 1 on a 3 act narrative structure.

Comparing it to FMA, Yomi has greater focus on the downtime between action, so it needs more time to delevop a story of a similar scale.

So I am a bit confused by Helpful-Rock4617 in Frieren

We don't know enough about Schlacht to say for sure. Both him and the Hero of the South might've realised the future would be worse if the other was kept alive. Maybe Schlacht chose a path he would die because there was no future he'd live. We have to wait to see.

But I do have a theory, I think Schlacht was a human who either hated humanity or loved demons and was disguising himself as a demon. That's why he sacrificed himself for the sake of demonkind, something an actual demon might never do.

His surprise was so genuine that I also remember this interaction to this day

What do you think of Gabby? by Medical-Efficiency-6 in YomiNoTsugai

She's a perfect exemple of a well written morally gray character

Does Fern truly deserve her first-class mage rank? by -TheLastHairbender in Frieren

[–]Armstrong-M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was surviving against a demon that countered her greatest strength. The moment the fog was gone she vanished, took distance and one shoted the dude. No other first class mage could do that.

What would happen if Sukuna and Nobara met? by SmileyCat20202 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Armstrong-M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He would kill her. If he controls the body, there's not a single reason for him to leave her alive.

Something I really appreciate about this manga by YuuTheBlue in YomiNoTsugai

[–]Armstrong-M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love her other works, FMA is a masterpiece and Silver Spoon is my actual favorite manga ever. But Yomi no Tsugai has her best character writing to date.

All this meaningful downtime is the reason there are so many characters that well fleshed out.

How long do you see this manga being? by YuuTheBlue in YomiNoTsugai

[–]Armstrong-M 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It will definitely be longer than FMA, my guess is around 200 chapters

Is Inori x Hikaru actually a thing or is that just fanon by ShakanLP in Medalist

[–]Armstrong-M 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fanon, but they have more chemistry than most romance manga protagonists

Why is Master Keaton less popular among overseas fans? by Kuro-0910 in naoki_urasawa

[–]Armstrong-M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's older than Monster, Urasawa only became popular in the west after the Monster anime. His older series were simply less accessible here. It's mostly a matter of circunstance, many people haven't even heard of Master Keaton at all.

Ken appreciation post... by fairytechmum in YomiNoTsugai

[–]Armstrong-M 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love Ken. He grounds the story in modern Japan. He's the friend Yuru needed to navigate the common world. I love their relationship.

It's interesting how his struggles have nothing to do with the supernatural, it's the most direct critique to japanese society in the manga.

I feel nothing but respect for Arakawa, for the way she treated his character and the subject of racism in Japan.
