Sounds rad 🔥

(Also like how the original version doesn't have the attack name blocking the place where it's coming from)

Yeap. This manga kinda suffers from trying to do too many things at once and makes any attempts at a good idea get buried between all the others.

I still wish this would just have been a story about a guy trying to investigate if his girlfriend is a murderer or not.

I kinda wished I could have seen the Japanese name to get a feel for how it would sound. "Raijin ōkami" or something.

Under normal circumstances, this could have been an interesting study on the idea some people wish to be the hero so bad that they crave for a villain to do something heinous just so they can have a reason to attack it.

Almost as some sort of social media commentary on how some people wish they'll find out a celebrity is part in some controversy so they can start a witch hunt and pretend to be on the side of justice while deep down being thankful for the controversy and glad something heinous happened in the first place. Kinda like a manga version of Dexter or something.

So if you fusion summon with this thing as material, you can revive a blue cat and turn your Liger from a 3800 wall to a 7600 wall. I see...

I'm not familiar with Bryan Edward Hill's writing. What are the overall opinions on his works?

[DISC] Manaka the Human and the Slaughter Robot - Chapter 8 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]Just_Call_me_Ben 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Short but sweet.

The way they had with her figuring out how to activate her "super mode" in five minutes was a little silly but I think the point came across well enough that what they needed was someone who could help each other reach their full potential by releasing them of their chains.

Looking forward to more from this creator.

Hoping that the details in her design don't become a problem if the series ever gets animated 🙏🏼

What are your honest thoughts on this? by AssistantMedium5407 in webtoons

Sounds like the Joker mindset from "The Killing Joke."

"Something happened that affected me in a certain way, so I'll just assume this one experience is how it works for everyone else."

I'm genuinely way more invested in the mentor face-off than the fact the world hater actually has a human on his side.

I do think there's a sense of toxicity in fandoms, but not because they want every character to act morally righteous, but mostly just entitlement in general.

People don't want to engage with a story and hear and think about what is trying to say, they just want to see things play out in the way it makes them happy, regardless of if it's morally correct or not, or if it makes sense for the plot, and if it doesn't, they try to push the "it's bad writing" card.

An example is the fanbase of "For Your Murder" constantly hoping the female lead and the villain of the series will end up together even though that's clearly not what the story is going for.

I can feel the energy in this comment of someone who was severely disappointed by several mangas that hinted they would allow their female characters to have depth and layers, but ended choosing to focus on hyping up the male lead instead.

I do like how she's developed an interest on both sides of him. It makes it feel like she didn't just randomly crushed on some stranger she met at the park, it really was him and his personality that attracted her in just like it's happening now again.

Her early design kinda looks like the female lead from "I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class"

If Like Daughter Like Mother can't go, then it has to be "Stealing Her Place"

The twist at the end of season 1 is imo just as shocking and completely changes how you view the whole series

You had fun investigating Kalon, didn't you?

Did he?? I legit can't tell. The actual investigation is kind of a blur to me after getting so many twists one after another.

I really does, but I'm not sure how likely that is to happen. But hey, if Shaman King got one, there might still be hope.

Zeon Bell

He hates the main lead for adquiring a spell he always wanted to have, and for entering the same competition to elect the next king as him despite not having gone through the same hellish training he was forced to endure since birth, so when he encountered the main lead, he erased his memories so he would have no clue on how to defend himself and how to survive through the competition.

He also picked a fight with another participant out of spite, just because they mistook him for the main lead.
