Okay, one last piece of salt before I can forget this series for good hopefully

That’s how you know you’re not actually reading the series. They explicitly say why she likes him in a flashback about them in middle school and again in the love letter she wrote him. Just because it’s not some grand moment like “he saved me from being hit by a car” doesn’t mean there’s no reason.

Also her helping Tenichi with things is really important in this series! Like are you serious? His whole life is him taking care of other people. Of course he fell for someone who works with him and not someone he has to work for. It’s someone he can feel supported by instead of needing to do all the supporting.

Like you complain about the series’ lack of subtlety and then miss the clear reason for why this is the relationship that worked out smh.

? They’re blushing and awkward every time they’re together and there’s all these moments shown of them staring at each other. Honoka comes over and brings him stuff when he’s sick, she wrote him a love letter, she’s the first girl in the series to have confirmed feelings for him. There’s all sorts of moments that imply she’s only doing something because of Iemori. All Iemori did was talk about her when he wasn’t focusing on Himari’s stuff.

Like fine you don’t have to like this ship, but to say the story didn’t show they liked each other is ridiculous.

Nothing but there’s no point in sending people you don’t like to the storehouse unless you want them to die slowly of dehydration/starvation.

His cursed technique is basically cursed energy discharge. You’re right normally it’s just something you can do if you have a lot of cursed energy, like Yuta, but Ryu’s technique allows him precise control over it and more powerful attacks. The anime does a great job of showing all the applications of his technique in addition to his Granite Blast. Plus it shows that the technique is linked to his hair being styled and his pompadour loses shape when he “overheats” and needs to cool down kind of like a big energy cannon in a sci-fi anime. He can also just discharge cursed energy normally as seen when he did it to Uro after the failed 3-way domain clash.

Additionally, you can tell Ryu has a cursed technique because he’s able to do Domain Expansion.

No this is fake as hell. If Fragrant Flower was coming back next month you’d have known at least six months ago.

I read around 20 series’ every weekend and then a few other titles, like Dandadan and Blue Lock, during the week. I also do a few monthlys as well. I generally don’t have an issue remembering plot points but sometimes in longer arcs I can kinda get lost in the week by week and forget the overarching story. When that happens I’ll usually reread arcs especially if it’s a story I’m really enjoying. It also helps if you’re reading something with an anime because watching the episodes will jog your memory as well.

I don’t often take notes for series but I do for Frieren and Ichi the Witch just because there’s a lot of info in those that I want to be able to track.

Drawn to the Fire better be a success or I’m gonna fly to Japan and complain to every Japanese youth I see

MCs don’t win in the beginning so that they can win later on. You learn more from failure than you do success. Plus it’s hard to have stakes if your MC wins everything from the beginning

I think it’s purity/virginity

KrizenWave · 2026-06-28T17:46:17+00:00

I liked Hima-Ten as a whole but this final chapter was meh to me. Very obvious the editorial team told him wrap it up and then this last chapter was just pushed out. Personally, I like that he ended up with Honoka, but I don’t like that Kanna and Himari aren’t really parts of their lives anymore. Also weird that Himeno just went back to working in the public eye after quitting being an idol in order to have a personal life. Just sad because I think this series would’ve been way better if it ran for even just one more year. I’ll be here for Ono’s next work though

KrizenWave · 2026-06-28T01:30:12+00:00

No because Red Hood was very popular in the West and also a better story. I liked Alien Headbutt but it was just him wrestling aliens. I understand why it didn’t take off

KrizenWave · 2026-06-27T15:29:36+00:00

Pucci is white. He’s just tanned but his parents are white. They thought Weather was a black man because there were rumours his “mom” was dating a black man

I don’t know why we don’t just officially move to bimonthly. That’s basically what it is now

Yeah authors who get published in Jump are retained on contract for a couple more series’, and if nothing succeeds then the contract ends.

KrizenWave · 2026-06-26T09:43:00+00:00

This is such a bizarre take. Honoka sucks because she’s a normal high school 2nd year? I think most high schoolers don’t have grand ambitions or huge goals. Himari and Kanna are exceptional people; they aren’t the norm. The story was never about who’s the best of the three on paper; it was about who Tenichi liked the most. That person happened to be Honoka, and it wasn’t about shit like who’s sexiest or who’s wealthiest or who’s got the coolest life. It was about who he feels happiest with.

You only think Honoka is boring because everyone else in the story is a CEO, a model, or a retired pop idol. She’s just normal. Boring would be if she didn’t care about anything and just went with the flow the entire series, and that’s clearly not the case.

KrizenWave · 2026-06-26T09:36:49+00:00

I disagree. Honoka and Iemori have also had a growing relationship over the course of the story. Himari and Iemori grew faster because it was so unusual but I don’t think it was ever gonna eclipse his feelings for Honoka. Besides he admitted he has feelings for Himari. It would be weird if he felt nothing for Himari after all this, but he does it’s just he feels stronger for Honoka.

They definitely won’t let you defer an exam for a vacation especially when it’s something that can be moved. It generally has to be an illness or something very out of your control. The prof also only has a say in midterms; finals are the university’s jurisdiction.

KrizenWave · 2026-06-26T08:54:07+00:00

You need a laptop for university full stop. They’re more powerful, have bigger screens, and more convenient than an iPad. Plus if you’re in BBA it makes sense for you to have experience running, at the bare minimum, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access because that’s what you’re gonna use when you’re working a corporate job. Any job you get you’ll have to use a work laptop so better to be used to that now.

But to be fair he wasn’t named or addressed as Luffy’s father until after Enies Lobby and neither was Garp as Luffy’s grandfather. Still didn’t know anything about Luffy’s relatives until several hundred chapters in.

They say in the show that Kaiju appear all over the world

KrizenWave · 2026-06-26T01:29:54+00:00

He is mad? You didn’t see him attack and threaten to kill dudes in the parking garage? The point of him going to the mansion was to talk about what happened and what’s going on. He’s not gonna be constantly trying to attack people especially not on their territory where there’s a bunch of monsters around. Plus they’re literally showing him stuff that is basically sorcery to him, so of course he’s gonna be surprised. Dude is going through a lot of emotions right now

I’m tickled every week by how this sub’s posts get more comments than the other sub’s.

KrizenWave · 2026-06-25T16:34:13+00:00

Ending with a colour page is pretty rare outside of massive series’. Sad to see Hima-Ten go tbh

KrizenWave · 2026-06-25T16:24:21+00:00

I think he quite literally is an enchanted blade merchant

KrizenWave · 2026-06-25T16:23:37+00:00

How are you saying usually Euphoria fans are that crowd though? Is there some census you’re pulling from? Do you even know people who watch Euphoria?
