Alright, it is Thursday and I am gonna post the seventh volume of MAO. Feel free to react or comment on any panel, though I appreciate if image replies are not used during the dump. Feel free to discuss anything related to MAO after the dump. In addition, as MAO is atypically plot-heavy as a Rumiko Takahashi manga, please be mindful of others and use spoilers tags when discussing things that are revealed later in chapters that have not been dumped.MAO is Rumiko Takahashi's current ongoing series, a dark fantasy manga with a more serious tone than most of her other major series. I highly recommend it, as there genuinely is a lot of intrigue.Previous thread: >>283589108I will be using the official localization of the manga volumes by VIZ (despite my issues with it). Keep in mind that the nature of the writing in MAO and this localization in particular has resulted in some mistranslated lines. Be aware that some of the larger images may have been edited to be lower quality due to image size limits.

>>283757448We know, Koma-chan...
>>283758705What is that creature

Who was the sexiest consort?

>>283757970Smug consort is best consort. And shes a merchant, double profit.
>the couple is already dating, but they struggle to call each other by their first names
>>283744555you wouldn't get it
>>283744679I've got a japanese pal and we visited a street around here where it is said couples would get a blessing if they hold hands and it took ages for his wife to coerce him into doing it, you'd have thought she was bullying him
>>283751553name them
>>283751119I have never read this doujin but i recognize the artist.
>>283748963The alternative is everyone referring to everyone by their first names like in anglo countries. That's pretty retarded.
>villain is evil because... he's evil
>>283759568>Kastro's double, Kortopi's counterfeits, or Bono's transformation.And those are all temporary or require the user to activate just to appear anyways. Gon arm is permanent
>>283759568Wasn't half of the point of Greed Island that the rich guy wanted the healing card from it because there were no other healing powers like it?
>>283730468Why did nobody beat the daylights out of this shithead for destroying other people's expensive property?
>>283725016>>283724960Togashi's work is just a spiteful, poorly-drawn and written edgier inverse of shonen like Dragon Ball (mostly) and JoJo and other stuff. His work is worthless and only has its status due to being parroted as the intellectual deconstructive piece in an infantile cliche genre for kids. Now, you could ask yourself when will these people grow the fuck up but the answer is never. Togashi is a degenerate, even for a mangaka, but he doesn't offset it by being talented or innovative. He just takes what others have created and originated and puts a "dark, edgy" and lame spin on them (which isn't even a spin, it's the tropes lifted but presented in an edgy fashion) which is about the worst kind of "Creator" (being generous here).
>>283759432Consider that the rewards of Greed Island are the collective effort of hundreds of nen users. If talented individuals can do amazing reality-breaking things with nen, then a collective large-scale undertaking like GI should produce nothing less than miracles.
So how do you guys feel about anime adaptations that do their own thing vs straight up adaptations?
man isn't it time for you to get a job and move on?
>>283759444>So how do you guys feel about anime adaptations that do their own thingThey´re awful and I´m glad they´re not the norm anymore
>>283759444Neither of these are straight up adaptions.

>>283759842This but it's Erika Change's Mako.
Jun's butt.
>>283759499But can't you see that the child is presenting herself to me in a mating position?
>>283759498Those things are mostly caused by genetics. Thinking if you keep cleaning yourself you'll avoid is is pretty much a myth.
>>283759764this man stinks
>>283759796You're a retard if you misunderstood that. of course cleaning once a day is required for cleanliness reasons. But there are people who think acne is brought on by bad hygiene and if they keep cleaning themselves many times a day then it will go away. That is false.
>>283759826I'm inclined to believe this. I never went about cleaning my face more than wiping it dry after a shower all throughout my teen years and only had occasional acne issues

>>283755123Whenever he opens it back up I'm going to request either Shikki riding Naoto Amazonian style or a quiet evening with Machida. It's only right.

So I just finished the second part of the Orihara story. Didn't expect that it would turn into a cringe crime thriller shitpost trilogy. I'll post it later or tomorrow. I'd like to exercise a bit after sitting for hours after getting so absorbed in writing part 2. I'm also really hungry and dizzy now.

>>283759161I'm going to allow it because the english title is pretty clever, but just this one time.

>>283759065
Ok I posted in the previous thread about being a Rikka believer, but now I read more chapters and realized that she is too much of a chad to win in a japanese manga.
I love my weekly 5toubun posts. I just don't get why people give girls weird names. Why Iko and not Miku, why Nene and not Nino? Weird.
