Wide Christmas and a wider new year.

I apologize for being new and asking what is likely a very stupid question. But why are they so wide?
>>285124618>he doesn't know
>>285124618>But why are they so wide?Watch Hidamari Sketch. They explain the wideness. You can trust me bro I'm an honest man.
I decided to go to the book store on a whim while out and I picked up the first volume. I'm about halfway through it now and I can't understand why people love it so much. This manga is shit. Most of the criticism I see leveled against it involve Denji's motivation, but I think his motivation being hollow stuff like food and sex is perfect for his character, it's stuff he's missed out on living a destitute life of poverty. I think exploring that concept is really ripe for good storytelling. However, everything about this book seems so shallow. There's no intrigue, the devils just seem to exist and are dispatched as quickly as they're introduced. You can really see the inspiration behind them, the Apostles from Berserk, but the Apostles had lots of build up and existed as an explicit threat to the characters involved with them. The devils in Chainsaw Man, even when there seems to be some semblance of narrative involved, like the one with the little girl in chapter 2 (I think), it doesn't go anywhere. The character interactions are also completely devoid of any compelling dynamics. Makima and Denji's relationship initially seemed interesting, but it was only explored for one, maybe two scenes after her introduction. Hayakawa is incredibly bland as well. I just got to the part where Power is introduced, but I don't even feel interested in her because I just know she'll end up being one note as well. It doesn't help that the scenes in this manga feel like they're written by a Tiktok addict. There is no choreography, no interesting conversations, and scenes don't give any kind of breathing room or elaborate character or expositional moments. There are no liberties taken using the manga's status as a visual medium. The narrative simply feels like a series of footnoted details which the reader is expected to log into their brain so they can know what's going on, and nothing else. Just one plotpoint after another. Am I missing something?
>>285121608It's just a mashup of Devilman and Tokyo Ghoul. Like if the world of Devilman had a Tokyo Ghoul style government bureau in it.It's not terrible, it just doesn't deserve to be praised as a unique work of genius
>>285121608Fujimoto is just the Junji Ito of shonen. a bunch of cool concepts and stories that never go anywhere.The main appeal is the aesthetics and vibes

>>285121608>I'm about halfway through it now and I can't understand why people love it so muchYou answered it yourself:>It doesn't help that the scenes in this manga feel like they're written by a Tiktok addict. This is the world we live in unc. Compressed content quickly goes in and then goes out even quicker.
>>285122028>>285122190It’s said that Shakespeare could tell if a work was shit from the first word alone.
What do we think of this guy's work?I've watched both seasons of the Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere anime, read that City Series manga, and now i'm trucking through On a Godless Planet.This guy basically writes random bullshit with all the stuff he manages to come up. But i find it strangely commendable. It's portrayed with such confidence, you can't help both go along with it. His worlds are so imaginative and amusing there is something fascinating about them. And it walks a thin line between otaku fantasy and esoteric knowledge of world history, mythology and science.I'm surprised most of his stuff is available in english for the most part. Owari is fully available, so is Godless and City Series, and a large chunk of Horizon too with more on the way.Why is his stuff not popular?You've read his other novels beyond the horizon anime?You think we will ever get anime for his other stuff? Let alone horizon S3?

>>285121869God bless js06.
>>285118137We need more translations
One thing in particular i'd like to point out is that, ever since the third City Series book iirc, Satoyasu has been the main artist for most of Minoru-sensei's universe. City Series, Owari no Chronicle, Horizon and Godless Planet. He gives a very distinctive style to these eccentric worlds, from the very unique clothes, mechanical design and very sexy yet cute girls.Souga Toshi S. F. Is a treat to read solely because he is the main artist. That said, i do like to mention that, in a personal note, i do like his older art a bit better.

>>285125721Funny how they don't behave like ninjas at all, isn't it? It's street fighter meets harry potter more like
>>285125582Maybe at the very beginning of the series, almost the entire last 6 or 7 episodes of Yu Yu is anime-only but they also skipped adapting like dozen chapters there at the end too. The biggest filler additions throughout the anime are all those ogre+koenma scenes, the anime really got a lot of mileage out of those 2.Naruto was pretty good for the most part about keeping its canon episodes canon but they really made up for it with the big filler arcs.In general I actually do like the old 90s style filler where they don't often do full-on filler episodes but would weave in additions, I guess it really depends on how good the directors are, like Naruto was still doing that sometimes like with the Tenten vs Temari and Shikamaru vs Kin episode, lots of filler there but it was decent enough that you could barely notice.
>>285123838Tsunade has the maturity of a teenager so really they're on the same level.
What Pain's secret obvious back when the chapters were releasing, or were there still some heavy theorizing before it was revealed?

Reminder that Seo will make new chapters in the future even as he does his new romcom "Ano Shima no Uminesou".
Go back rom drama please.

>>285123581did you skip the entire anti-spiral monologue or what?
>>285123581TTGL has a clear and repeating archetype of a hero who rises to fight off oppression against humanity. Every spiral civilization that rose against the anti-spiral had their own version of Simon/Lord Genome, their leader. Simon is exceptional and the most successful version of the archetype the story puts forward as the anti spiral had already beaten countless others, but he isn't unique.
>>285124257The ARCHETYPE is unique. Losers do not pass.
>>285123847thats because they rush through rossiu's entire plot in like two fucking minutes
Or is this a monumentally bad idea?The name would be set in stone despite various pleadings.

We're finally back after the New Year's break! And what better way to celebrate the new year than with some hypnotized Liko?
>>285086616>hypnotized Liko?AGAIN?
>>285124144She attracts a certain type.
>>285123708Me thinks Liko's next outfit will be that. If the rumors are to go by, Gen 10 region will be based on SEA, which is known to be pretty hot, so Liko's lijkey to wear something lighter.
>>285124212It's not a fan creation, it's from the official concept art, just like the yellow shirt. >If the rumors are to go byThey're not.
