I always put spoilers behind #CW tags & include each series' name / chapter number in the warning.
New series in Do Retry, so I'll check that out.
I am likely to drop Tenmaku Cinema this week unless it wows me. I just...I don't know. There's something about it that's just not clicking for me and I just find myself not caring about it.
Akane-Banashi - To truly learn the story she wants to tell in the upcoming showcase, Akane needs to learn what it is like to be drunk. Since she's underage and can't drink alcohol, that means running back to the restaurant to people watch while serving.
This also got her to ask the question - what kind of rakugoka is she? It's a good thing to consider and one she'll need to know as she continues to practice and hone her craft. Solid chapter.
Beat and Motion - Tatsuhiko gets up the nerve to talk to the other animation students about the upcoming event. One is very helpful, the other is very very not.
@mdmrn Pretty impressive improvements from the mangaka since Bone Collector, but also really leaned into “WSJ-ness” so he’s certainly targeting the audience quite directly. 😝
Fabricant 100 - Ashibi is off duty for a bit and forced to relax. Ends up doing some farming with a lovely new character we're introduced to who was saved from Fabricants. They have a family, they're thriving.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles - We're about to see Mash face off vs Innocent Zero. We see Mash snap IZ's magic wand and punches IZ so hard that their neck snaps!
But they survive and enter a new form.
It's like a JRPG villain.
I can't wait to see how Mash handles this next, with his fists.
One Piece - The Cross Guild, with Buggy as the symbolic figurehead that the world sees, has taken out a popular Vice Admiral in the Navy. Which is a huge deal.
But, back on the new lead ship (that was designed with either Buggy or ICP in mind) was revealed and the two real brains removed Buggy's head to talk strategy. That's when Buggy actually went behind them and convinced the full crew to start searching for the One Piece.
Buggy is a fool & a tool, but he knows how to rally a crowd.
