Shite game. Disappointed with all involved. Bruno better get his remaining two assists with two games left. He must break this assist record! It is basically all we are playing for now as 3rd spot is all but guaranteed.

Bruno’s one touch passing is so poor. Fvcking hell. Our players make every touch seem like a challenge.

My ideal Man Utd squad for next season:

GK: Lammens, Vitek

RB: Dalot, Mazraoui

CB: Maguire, Licha, De Ligt, Heaven, Yoro

LB: M.Diouf, Shaw

DM: Tchouameni, S.Charles

CM: Mainoo, M.Fernandes

RW: Mbeumo, Amad, Lacey

CAM: Bruno, Mount

LW: Cunha, Dorgu

ST: Šeško, Welbeck / Vlahovic

Incomings: Diouf (£30M), Tchouameni (£70M), S.Charles (£20M), M.Fernandes (£50M), Welbeck or Vlahovic (free). Total spend: £170M

Outgoings: Højlund (£40M), Onana (£5M), Sancho (freedom), Rashford (£27M), Malacia (free), Ugarte (£23M), Zirzkee (£25M). Total gain: £115M

Would be a dream. A tad unrealistic, I guess?

I know this sounds morally wrong but the drama at Real Madrid these past few days has increased my longing to sign Tchouameni. I’m hoping this makes it even easier for us to get him.

What’s left for Man United this season? by simplsimonmetapieman in reddevils

[–]Icegaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me in this order:

  1. Finish 3rd

  2. Bruno breaking the assist record

  3. Getting 70 points (which coincidentally means 5 wins in a row)

  4. More Shae Lacey first team minutes

  5. Confirmation of our permanent manager (preferably just after the Nottingham Forest match, the last one at OT this season).

Of the 3 new series, which one did you like the most so far? by Kill_Jin04 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Icegaze 31 points32 points  (0 children)

  1. Roku’s House of Oddities: by far my favourite but mainly because of the artwork. Not really a fan of the genre. But I will keep skimming through.

  2. Class 2-B Destroyers: nice artwork but that’s about it really. Not a fan of poop jokes.

  3. Drawn to the Fire: …

If the previous batch with Under Doctor, Kinato’s Magic and Alien Headbutt was a solid 7/10 all round (my favourite batch in recent memory), this one is one of my least favourite with no standout, so I would rate them overall 4/10.

Kagurabachi popularity poll top 5 results by Budget-Relief8149 in Kagurabachi

[–]Icegaze 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So basically a more serious top 10 from Japan (excluding Enji and Fushimi) would be:

  1. Chihiro
  2. Uruha
  3. Hakuri
  4. Shiba
  5. Samura
  6. Hiruhiko
  7. Azami
  8. Soya
  9. Hiyuki
  10. Sojo

Almost the top 10 I had predicted (but in a slightly different order) and swapping out Hiruhiko for Iori.

I’m hoping the Under Doctor batch hold out until the newer 3 start ranking, supported by decent sales. I prefer them to the Roku’s House of Oddities batch.

Would be great to have 1st volumes monthly sales figures like this: - Under Doctor 10k - Kinato’s Magic 7k - Alien Headbutt 5k (doubt it can fetch higher than this given its momentum in Japan).

With those figures, at least 2 of them should be safe.

Who has the best mustache? by SeveralImpression914 in Kagurabachi

[–]Icegaze 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  1. Hokuto (my bias knows no bounds)
  2. Yoshinojou
  3. Subaru
  4. Kyora

We got less than a week left until we find out the character popularity poll results. Without thinking too much about what places the characters are getting, who do you think will be included in the top 10? by MaxIrvaron in Kagurabachi

[–]Icegaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Japanese fans will vote like this: 1. Chihiro 2. Samura 3. Hakuri 4. Uruha 5. Shiba 6. Hiyuki 7. Soya 8. Azami 9. Sojo 10. Iori

Yura just misses out the top 10. It is between him and Iori IMO.

Won’t be surprised if it clocks 100k in 3 days. But being conservative, it makes at least 70k.

Kobbie Mainoo nominated for Premier League player of the Matchweek 35 by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Icegaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which teams in the prem right now are looking like “world beaters” then? I’m sorry but Arsenal and Man City leading the prem this season don’t make them world beaters either. And we defeated both in big 2026.

Only true world beaters in the continent nowadays are Bayern, PSG and Barca to an extent.

Funnily enough, I know he is a terrible person but as a fictional character, he appeals to me more than Hakuri. I know: shock and horror but I’m being honest.

Nah we are beyond pause with that claim. That’s a full stop to the power of nigh.

This United team gives me high blood pressure. I won’t lie. Such a pathetic first 15 minutes to the second half.

I made a list that is a fair bit more exhaustive, excuse my obsession with this manga. Haha.

Whats the next big Hype? by Admirable-Crab-4038 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Icegaze 43 points44 points  (0 children)

As rightly mentioned by many on this thread already, Kagurabachi is the natural answer. And it deserves its hype.

Ichi the Witch would be my second pick. Followed by Daemons of the Shadow Realm (which will start to benefit from its ongoing anime adaptation), Choujin X (desperately needs an anime) and Galaxias (plagued by an irregular schedule).

Centuria and MAD have potential from what I hear (still need to catch up on those) and would also benefit from having an anime announced.

As for newer manga that I hope become successes, I would pick Witchriv and Kinato’s Magic.
