>the true heroine and her development haircut is P E A K
Hope the other 2 dorks hop in on some other adventures too. I'm fine with it focusing on this trio, but I don't want the cast to get too bloated like Dandadan

I guess Hitsujiya eating that ladybug at the end of last chapter was a side effect that won't be touched until later?

For TNT for example, you nitrate toluene to get to mononitrotoluene. You then renitrate and nitrate again to get to trinitrotoluene. It’s pretty simple procedure: toluene -> MNT -> DNT -> TNT. I’m not going to list out explicit steps here and as others have said, this is all over the internet, though it would be bad opsec if someone was going to clandestinely produce explosives..

MY EYES

>>275257810
>Captura de pantalla

Anyone else feel like they're in on the ground floor of a really huge title? There's every chance it could just go to shit later on but ONE is an experienced writer and every chapter so far has been incredible in their own ways. Maybe it's just tuned to my tastes, but this is one of the best starts for a manga I've read in years.

>>275263350
One has done 4 manga and all of them were amazing (except murata opm which got dragged to hell and became shonenshit), I don't know how he does that

>>275263350
I definitely gives me those feelings and personally love it. It’s my favorite ongoing new manga. It serialized now too so hopefully in a year or two it’ll pick up traction and popularity. I would love to see this animated!

>>275263435
I really enjoy Versus but I don't really get the feeling from it that it'll be "remembered" as a truly great manga in the end. I get a totally different feeling from this, much more similar to OPM (webcomic) and MP100.

>>275263435
Opm writing is clearly handled by Murata it became such a joke of the original

>>275263479
Versus has really really good worldbuilding and story, the only downside is that the characters are quite uninteresting and forgettable
Bug ego though, has really good characters and story

>>275258709
>you guys are not needed anymore

>>275263513
Yeah don't get me wrong, I love Versus, it started off slow but has evolved into just a really enjoyable, classic feeling battle shonen. I just don't see it being mentioned up there with those other titles when it's over.

>>275263577
>classic feeling battle shonen
Not really, versus is quite an subversive take on the battle shonen genre actually
We should have more authors going for subversive writing instead of all these generic crap isekais

>>275258904
I'm actually very curios to see what is on the other side.

Anyway, yet again a very good chapter.

>>275263673
The premise is subversive, the execution (in my opinion) is classic. Which isn't a bad thing, at all. Most modern battle shonen are too edgy and gratuitous to me, concerned more with appearing gritty and cool than actually delivering on their premises - Versus focuses on the actual battles to such an absurd degree that it really hones in on what I feel makes a good battle shonen tick.

Shit. I thought she was a side character but I'm shocked she's not only a new lead but actually very convincing too

We don't know yet what exactly she saw in the gutter, but it was probably just some weird shit, similar to the people Hitsujiya sees walking outside of their copied room. The big eye in the sky Yuki is staring up at is her own, it's meant to reflect that she's been enlightened by a world far bigger than she imagined. What she saw in the gutter is probably not all that important, it's more about the effect it had on her.

>>275265027
I struggle to think of a studio that could pull this series off, the detailed art style that pops in at times is really vital to making the humour and atmosphere work, but would be incredibly straining on animators. Also, wouldn't it have to be adapted at a 1 chapter per episode pace?

>>275265126
i'm gonna be very mad if it's a shit studio

>>275264894
I don't think it's a representation, I think the hack literally allows her to see a birds eye view of the world, the bros are reacting to seeing the image in the sky too
>>275259550

>>275265180
You know what, I completely overlooked that. That's even cooler than I imagined then, she literally gained the ability to see the world as bigger than she ever thought it could be, even if only briefly.

>>275265215
>girl feeling trapped by society and has no hope for doing what she wants

>>275259872
A lot of red herrings for that. I thought the same with Yodomi's flashback in the start of Chapter 3.

it's not getting axed, especially since it's in Ultra Jump

>>275268422
There's not really any way of knowing until it gets a volume release, which hasn't happened yet. It got serialized because of the popularity of the oneshots in the first place, though, so it should be fine. Ultra Jump isn't particularly vicious with axing either, as far as I know.

>>275268521

it looked like her explosion knocked off his wig, she even says "oops"...

>>275258635
Actually it's called Xing to each other

>>275268729
It just fell off while he was swinging his racket

What I enjoy the most about Bug Ego compared to say, Versus, is that it's a "glitch of the month" story which is great for a monthly manga, whereas Versus you get blueballs with every chapter because it takes forever for things to advance.
Also each Bug Ego chapter is 50-70 pages.

>>275270407
>Why even cut him out of the party?
Considering all the fucked up things those two have been through, I'm guessing it's just because they don't want to involve anyone who doesn't know what they're getting into and could potentially have their lives put in danger. I'm guessing they'll join of their own volition at a later point, still.

File: clock.png (280 KB, 617x380)

I double checked because it seems people were confused if the bomb Yuki kept thinking of was real or not, and some people seemed to think it was Kokudo's clock that Hitsujiya mistook for a bomb in chapter 3, but they're actually completely different. I think it was a real bomb that Yuki had built (or bought somehow? but I'm guessing built since she's academically gifted), and that the ticking of it in her desk, as well as the ticking of the clocks and watches around her, represented her slowly being pushed to a point where she'd actually snap and set the bomb off somewhere. Considering it doesn't tick the last time we saw it in her drawer, I assume she deactivated it after he enlightenment.

Thanks to the person who brought up Shitara's previous series Shinobuna Chiyo in the last thread. Can see why ONE would trust them with the art they're insanely talented while also being really good comedic-timing wise. Also fun to see sort of a proto-version of all the insane faces made all over bug ego.

>>275257543
Phenomenal, this chapter rocked my socks off. Yuki seems like she'll be a nice edition to the cast. I doubt any meaningful romantic relationship is going to develop in this series, aside from the love blooming Histujiya and Kokudo, so I'm looking forward to how they'll handle this jaded, stoic into the story. Legit had to pause and admire the spread where Yuki see's the eye in the sky

>>275272695
I doubt romance will be much of a thing in this manga, since it's not something ONE really cares about, but I could see Hitsujiya/Moesawa and Kokudo/Yuki being pairings if push came to shove. There's not really any basis for the latter, it's just that they both have short fluffy hair.

>>275272763
>I doubt romance will be much of a thing in this manga

I like bug ego's art-style and find it to be unique. First time I've ever read manga that evokes the feeling of mixed-media with the intruder from the dream chapter being the best example. He looks like a drawn over 3d-model which really adds to the "he really shouldn't be here" feel.

>>275274575

beautiful chapter, really heartfelt, Yuki's problem was really relatable with my school years... only difference is that I realized none of this actually matters by failing

>>275275105
lmao I also thought about that
maybe it's the reason she cut her hair

>>275259302
i can't help but find the bottom left face really hot, girls looking down on me, all pissed off, really gets me really going

>>275275275
she's not really looking down all pissed off though she's just really exhausted

>>275260036
because of those threads i read Shinobuna Chiyochan and while it has a much more anime aesthetic it continues to have this artists very skillful but unique touch, plus its very very cute

>>275275308
even hotter

Arigato, /a/, for showing me this manga. I just finished Chapter 4 and it's already the best thing I've read in forever. Megane-chan a cute

I had to drop versus because of how shit it was, I don't understand why people like it

There are STILL people who love OPM/MP100/Versus and don't know Bug Ego exists.

>>275277132
no one asked

>>275276952
she's cute, can't wait for her and Yodomi to play a pivotal role. But damn her megane, slight freckles, exposed ear... god damn Shitoro knows how to get me going

>>275277106
JIMIKO-CHAN
KAWAIIII

>>275277133
To be fair I didn't know it existed either until someone mentioned in some random thread that ONE did a new oneshot. There's like completely no advertising for this.

This random thread https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/260791693/#260791693 was what made me discover it iirc

>>275257543

I've read this wanting to ridicule it at first. Then got hooked. Then after reading everything I just realized it was story by ONE.
Damn, no wonder.

>>275263790
The recent battle between Demon Lord and Ayyy was great, that artist really delivers on the sense of scale of the Kaijuu and giant forest animals too (not to mention his other manga Nihon Saikyou). Fun all around. Versus feels like One got tired of waiting for Ging and Beyond to make landfall in the Dark Continent and decided to write his own.

Bug as in an error in computer term. Not an actual bug as insect.
Maybe when the first chapter said "hacks" it was only coming from the translation. Maybe they used the word "bug" in japanese? Can anyone confirm that?

>>275268899
Your pic is literally what I got from this chapter. I guess anon on /a/ weren't that bright to begin with.

>>275274792
Thanks that's a good heuristic, now I won't forget.

>>275282554
Not sure what the kanji they use is, in the fan translations before this got a simulpub they called them secret tricks.

>>275277132
You and me.

>>275280547
Woah. If someone looked at me like that i wouldn't be so evil, but people deal with what they got.
