>lowers stakes than Akagi>dumber protagonist than Akagi>easier games than Akagi>seriously they just played Rock Paper Scissors as two different games, and anyone who calls E-card different is a moronI suppose the pacing is better (which is a good thing) but man, this is not NEARLY as good as Akagi's first half was. Two episodes to go and this final gamble is utterly retarded on every level to the point that I'm hoping the old man crushes him, as Kaiji deserves to be crushed under the weight of his stupidity.
Washizu's "revival" arc is some of the least shameless character armor I've ever read. Just asspull-level sewage. The manga was pretty good up until that point, too.
>>285185874What are you even talking about? He blacked out for a moment due to the blood loss, then came back for a while, at least. What's the problem here?
>>285186182I'm referring to the ten or so chapters he spent in hell.
>>285186294It's a glorified hallucination (unless FKMT hell actually exists and they play baby foot of the damned there) and meant to be part of his character arc with him regaining his old strength, bowing to no one.
>>285138491i dont care about akagi.i dont care abot chinese dominoes
Why does everyone want to kill him or set him up to die , he gets double crossed by everyone he met.
>>285180076The whole plot of part 1 is slowly learning why.
>>285180496anon knows. also it's an a/b testing compliance psyop with other shonen titles for mass audiences for example jjk modulo and boruto shippuden
>>285184474fun fact: makima worked so well the next us presidential candidates will both be females with big boobs right before you go to war

This is the future of manga.
>>285185028Get a tablet mount or cushion and a remote control.
>>285180976>spending thousands on ebooks/emangajesus christ anon, of COURSE he meant paper lmao. He'd be too stupid to find 4chan if he unironically paypigged for pixels like that kek
>>285185572I spend that much. I don't live in Japan so digital is a lot easier to get and ridiculously cheap when you wait for the right moments. Bought over 500 volumes/magazine issues in the past few weeks alone with an average price of under hundred yen.Additionally I buy new releases to support the creators.
>>285185572You won't get the majority of manga without paying and the quality of the digital volumes is usually better than the free online versions. Pirate versions are always worse for some reason.
>>285185572>he's never read any manga where the physical edition is out of print but it's still available digitally>and nobody has bothered making it available to pirateHappens often to me reading stuff in Japanese.

Fushi fucked a turtle btw
I forgot, how many years have passed since Takunaha?
have you ever laughed at one ?
>>285179744A few jokes from Konosuba made me laugh but in general no, the Japanese are painfully unfunny. They have the same sense of humor as the spergy annoying naruto-running kids I went to high school with, very tryhard/forced with no sense of comedic timing. Yotsuba unironically is the funniest thing I have ever read from manga or anime because Kiyohiko is actually good at comedic timing.
>>285179744no, i prefer to laugh at people that watch anime. now THAT's funny
>>285179744Overcautious hero was pretty funny, Konosuba also got some chuckles from me

>>285183728I'd rather have the seasonal volumes than ages that make sense.
>>285179628It signifies that Aria Company Undines are the most fertile on Aqua
>>285183728>glaring plot holePretty sure it's that, but I wouldn't worry about it.
>>285183788They have salamanders. They could've made the seasons last as long as Earth seasons.
>>285184056That's the Orange Planet uniform.

>>285186207I'll post 3D Kita again next thread.
>>285186558Next thread will be Kita thread
>>285186529I never read his posts or anything, but I suppose it's practice?

Post downgrades
>>285181172Toei just can't help turning everything they touch into shit.
>>285181417They are the best at that, no other studio can compete with them.
This one is recent.
>>285182664Oh no, they censored her foot...
reminder that new manga standard in 2030 will be interactive AI manga in virtual reality, imagine reading one piece like this where you can just talk with the characters in the chapter and see their reactions in real time
sounds awful, as if we need more dopamine escapist corpo shitholes in our lives
>imagine reading one piece No

>>285176893Didn't quite a few people participate in both threads?
>>285169210There's no manga threads anymore, so it should just be one thread then.
>>285180911I remember someone being mad that the anime thread archived before the manga thread.

>Three years ago, the Hero Shion sealed the Hell Gate. The Seal has been weakening ever since, sporadically letting monsters through. After a big group of monsters entered the country through said Hell Gate, Heroes were needed again.>Touka Scott, a radish farmer and trapper in the southern town of Cheza, lives a peaceful life with his beautiful childhood friend and neighbor Yuna, but he is nevertheless prepared for sudden monster attacks. He built himself a hidden pit-trap with bamboo spikes to lure unsuspecting monsters if they ever try to attack the village. A monster attacks and Touka fails to lure it into the trap with freshly roasted bacon. Thankfully, the local Hero saves the village from the monster in the nick of time. The hungry Hero tries to grab a bite of bacon after vanquishing the monster, only to stumble into Touka's pit-trap and die.>After causing Shion's death, Touka is reluctantly forced to take matters into his own hands to protect the region from attacking monsters… by occupying the late hero's body!>Accompanied by Yuna and the necromancer girl Anri (who forced him into Shion's body), together they set on adventure… and to save face.Thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkHt-wt1Ih0Last thread:>>285142938
