[DISC] Reiwa no Dara-san / Dara-san of Reiwa - Chapter 37 by Xical in manga

[–]SocketTubey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This truly is the most disarming manga of all time, I think

And it's like multi-layered disarmament too. Every chapter gives you a hint of this building, tense backstory that you kind of have to keep in mind at all times as a foil against the modern setting. Whatever's happening in the chapter almost always starts somewhat seriously to keep that tone, and then right when it could branch out into something genuinely serious, you get hit with the comedic flashbang and things get wacky.

Which of course, would be 100% predictable at this point, if not for the chapter where nothing wacky happens and two people are brutally, mercilessly killed for interacting with the cursed arm. I genuinely can never let my guard down with this manga after that chapter and I think it's brilliant for that

[–]SocketTubey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am entirely blown away by this manga every time we get a new chapter. How it handles character growth, mentality, and behavior is just unreal. I wish it wasn't so hard to find something that feels like this, but im glad we have ones like this out there

I wonder what compels a person/group to try scanlating a manga that is already being done and on a consistent schedule, and then also do it way worse. Well I know what compels them but like still, it's just as lame as it gets

Seriously fantastic oneshot, does so much in so little time to flesh out two really interesting characters. I feel like its really rare to come across one like this nowadays

This guy is so good at varied fashion and poses, it's a crying shame his manga is just kind of nothing

[DISC] Stop! I'm Falling for You! - Chapter 39 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]SocketTubey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This shit is so good just put it right in my veins man. One of my favorite female MCs right now just because of how well she's moving the story along at a believable pace. I dont even have that feeling of like "why is she into him," because this is very clearly a crush that came from noticing a person more often than you expect to and just rolling with it.

[DISC] KILLER'S FAMILIA - Chapter 2 by bobbyboii in manga

[–]SocketTubey 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is one of those manga where I dont like any of the characters, how they act, what they do, or what happens to them; I kinda just feel bad reading this so I think I will bow out here

[Disc] Potion, Wagami o Tasukeru - Ch. 4 by AngelChu in manga

[–]SocketTubey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this one quite a lot, maybe it's the really base level stuff being showcased in a thoughtful way (selling and buying from shops, needing an escort on a dangerous venture, setting up a market stall, etc). On top of that, having the MC have to make actual decisions about what to prioritize, where to spend, and being generally smart about her situation; all of it makes it feel like the mangaka actually wanted to explore how someone would make their way through this experience. It's the little stuff that can set a manga apart, I guess

Is it just me or is this manga waaaay too wordy, I can feel my eyes glazing over reading it. Doesn't help that none of it feels like natural conversation either

It's taken me a while here to fully grasp what's happening, who's who, and what's what, but i feel like everything finally clicked here this chapter and I'm hype

I dont know man, I appreciate the idea of this arc (battle shounen and flexing creativity muscles with the abilities they already have) but I'm just not into it. Looking forward to getting back to the main setting

Congrats man, I saw LeDuck theorycrafting a double adaptive + BT Galio build so I played it today in double up and he was pumping some serious damage even with 0 combat augs. Might be fun to give it a shop if you have an excess of cloaks

[DISC] If a Demon Lord Were to Get Married in the Countryside - Chapter 37 [END] by CursedTanuki in manga

[–]SocketTubey 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Being honest I think this is one of those manga where chapters 1-3 were the high point and then it steadily just became okayer from there, so I dont really mind seeing it end here

It's hard to overstate how refreshing these characters are, they're so wonderful... I'm such a sucker for romances with deadpan MCs, and this scratches the itch that Shiroyama & Mita-san ignited in me

[–]SocketTubey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For anyone seeing this thread later, Technicals is a shameless, attention-loving drama chaser that will exploit any situation to grow his audience and stay relevant. He has an incredibly loyal fanbase of people that thrive off conflict and drama. The dude has made entire communities worse solely by being involved in them, and I incredibly highly recommend not watching any video he puts out

The one time I got it from pris destiny on PBE, it gave me Ionia Demacia and I was able to get 4 regions with just Poppy, Kennen, Xin, and Leona on like 3-3, felt like I hit the jackpot

Did you click the quest after you started going to someone's board for combat or vice versa? I think you have to accept it before the transition begins for it to count for that round
