Oh, that was quick.
Fin~What are your thoughts on this latest chapter so far?Is it me, or does his art style seem very clean to read?
>>282972546It honestly looks like it's going to get axed soon. Demon Otr was resolved very quickly and with very cliche lines
>>282972365wtf is going on with Fylgja's face
>>282972403>reattach his arm with magic afterwardsholy shit what a fucking cop out i'm so mad
>>282972546feels like it speedran 20 chaptersguessing it's over soon
Does Kawaguchi learn anything from Redhood getting axed?
>>282972850Hope he learns that there's not really a point in getting serialized on WSJ. Hopefully he'll move to J+ or WSM
>>282972613Well, Naruto's first rage mode with Kyuubi also only lasted one chapter. The same goes to Oozaru Goku.
>>282972135So his arm grew back
>>282971836>Fake Demons the second a real one shows up
>>282972850He seriously needs to move to a monthly, he clearly doesn't have the weekly rhythm.
>>282973016Let's hope I'm wrong
>>282971836>>282971878>>282971922>>282971970what an awesome sequence of pages, holy shit
Is this shit supposed to be cool or scary? because I find it neither cool nor scary
>>282972403Booba in the distance
>>282972546shit was so cliche
>>282972546They gonna glue his arm back on or what?
>>282973024Nope, it was only temporary.
>>282973302Welcome to a shonen manga, retard.
>>282973168To be honest, I also think the manga might be axed soon. But for me it'll be okay if it lasts at least 50 chapters.
>>282971830What's going through his mind here.
>>282972213>Broken text cloudsNice. Love little tricks like this.
>>282973792>Well, I fucked up
>>282972546I liked it. Very quick but I like edgy transformstions and it had some cool art. I do think Kawaguchi was probably given the notice to wrap it up, but I'm gonna be optimistic and just see where this heads.
>>282973476mald more
>>282972546Thx mate.I think it was fine, axe fears aside. Not sure about the idea of fixing his arm that nonchantly. I hope there is a price or something of the sort.
>>282972073Love the way possessed Otr is drawn here
>>282972073UUUUOOOOOHHHHH SEXY SHOTA SKELETON
>>282972850He made exactly the same characters as red hood, shota whose entire personaility is being the hero and stoic girl that never changes expression but instead of a giant gorilla is a flat girl, so no he didn't learn anything>>282973476All (good) authors try to give it their own personal touch when they use these tropes so even when you've read them dozens of times it can feel somewhat unique about it, what did kawaguchi add to the "demon/berserk form" cliche?
>>282972457Look how happy he is.
>>282972850>Moved characters from the starting as fast as you can.He learnt that at least but just that, he didn't bother to learn or anything else that was wrong in redhood.
>>282972546This chapters shows that KAWAGUCHI can draw great things, but somehow he doesn't do it.Wasted Potential
>>282972850I mean, he learned to fix the pacing.The rest though...
this is the perfect opportunity for OTR to refuse getting his arm reattached. As a lesson and to grow a spine (plus maybe a cool flame-arm on-demand later on)But I guess it might be too much to ask.
>>282972284>she said the line
>>282973792>fucking shonen MCs and their asspulls
>>282972850Still dived to early into infodumping worldbuilding and power mechanics and a boring training arc killing all hype, flat loli heroine is better than man with tits but her personality still sucks
Otr nugget soon
POST ALAJOKII WANT ALAJOKI FANART
>>282975877Here, chef.
>>282972546>monster form regrows his arm>it's not there when goping back to normalWut?>>282972248>>282972284>>282972320I bet Rukia-fags are getting PSD from these
>>282971922>>282971970I like this part.
Ort of the yukon.
Like I said last week, the monster form is ultimately unimportant, it was just the opportunity to do something cool and slightly edgy. Nice fight sequence this week, if nothing else. No real indication of OTR getting axed still, at the same time that several other manga are definitely ending within weeks. I don't know how long OTR will run, but it looks like it probably dodged the second axe.
>>282973220It's supposed to be sexy.
>>282972320Didn't she eat two massive stalactites last chap?
>>282973220It might work better it Otr himself wasn't a weird Shota, it kinda kills his ability to be cool
>>282974196Grimm had more personality than Etupirko
>>282973016Oozaru Goku isn't a fair comparison since Dragon Ball was the untested follow up to one of Shonen Jump's top 5 biggest series to date at that point, and everyone trusted Toriyama to bring the goods. It was also foreshadowed earlier in the series (with Gohan's death), and Dragon Ball was supposed to end with the Emperor Pilaf arc before its insanely positive reception got Toriyama to continue the series.
>>282978768I like Grimm, but Red Hood was short-lived, and she doesn't develop a relationship with Velous.
>>282979538mommywife magazine. no wonder it got axed then
>>282972365>>282972546I’m confused, how did he end up shirtless?
>demon shotaHot. Should have been in the first or second chapter. Now it's too late.
>>282972613>>282972805I don't get that feeling at all, bwocompared to the insane shit that happens in Sakamoto Days and Baki, what happened in the latest chapters doesn't feel off at all
>>282972403stakesbros... what else should i read
is he male or female in that fusion form
>>282981180Yes
>>282981057>compared to the insane shit that happens in Sakamoto Days and BakiAll these comparisons for why Otr wont be axed are so retarded.>Sakamoto DaysSakamoto wasn't a 2k seller, and its a comedy manga, Otr is an action/adventure manga.>BakiNot a WSJ series.
I caught up with this over the last 2 days. It's not terrible but I cant see it lasting.
>>282980219He burnt it off...I guess?
>>282981627>people fight>IT's a CoMeDy MaNGaplus Shueisha's suits are so retarded they might be thinking Otr is the second coming of naruto because of that stupid transformation
>>282972248>>282972284>>282972320>>282972320>And people where saying previous chapter she isn't the main love interest.The heroine calming down a shonen protagonist's demon transformation with her lust pheromones(power of friendship/love) is a staple shonen trope too. Just like sexopirco did here.
>>282982131>IT's a CoMeDy MaNGaIts not funny but its supposed to be a action/comedy, even though they ran out of jokes and mainly focus on the people fight now.
>>282982131I mean, it's kind of still a comedy manga>able to reattach arm because the cut was so clean >sword slices clean through neck, but somehow misses because the molecules didn't connect or some shit
>>282982168literally the Rukia of the series>>282980219beats me. he got a sissy getup after transforming in the first chapter too
>>282983224Show me the Orihime and I will agree.
Reminder.We need more Skadi.
>>282984904Hey my kitty pic made it. I was right then and I'm still right now, SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
>>282972457>a second general jobbed>the 8 heroes or whatever still haven't done anythingThings are about to get nuts.
>>282972365>Super dangerous form that he shouldn't turn into >Haha I was just kidding bro, he gets hugged once and he turns back to normal
>>282972365This specifically is what makes me think it's probably already dead
>>282986456Why? A bunch of other shonen have had berserk modes like this that got resolved just as fast on intro.
>>282988062If anything, this transformation lasting longer would be a flag for the axe. (I.E, people think Sukuna coming out and 'killing' Yuji in the Detention Arc early on in JJK was because it was close to getting axed.)It ending pretty quickly makes me think we still got time.
>>282988370Naruto kyuubi mode the first time as well. Hollow Ichigo's first transformation.
The wind spirit arc is coming to an end. What do you think of Doadoa as a villain in this arc?
>>282989312Great villain, the best one so far.
>>282989312Easily better than the rest so far by miles, I love a villain who puts his skin in the game quite literally.
>>282989372>>282989400It does make me wonder if Suruld wasn't doing well with readers. I like Suruld but he was terrible as a villain, at least for me.
>>282989810This fight has been the highest rated and most praised part of the manga among Japanese readers so far. After that comes Otr cutting the giant rock in half and the introduction of the Wind Spirit.
>>282990071>This fight has been the highest rated and most praised part of the manga among Japanese readers so far.This and that part where Otr gained iron power look pretty awesome. This spread is the reason why Otr got a color page in chapter 18.I believe the Wind Spirit arc will improve in toc ranking.
>>282971830Lets read this shit
>>282989312He's better than whatever the fuck that thing in the latest Ichi chapter is
>>282990071>High rated>the introduction of the Wind Spirit.I wonder why?
>>282990352That villain was so lame and gay. What was the last time Ichi had an actual serious villain?
>>282984770the big tittied dwarfette>>282989312they changed him mid arc, for the best ofc
>>282991138Yup, I'm glad Kawaguchi is not holding back with the huge milker wind spirit.
>>282974089Artist sauce? I assume it's the same one who made this illust.
>>282991979Well, yes, it's the same artist, the fucking signature is right there. How retarded I am. I'd still like the sauce, I lost this artist's profile and couldn't find it anymore.
>>282992068herehttps://x.com/fccrCRvIM924172/status/1976256327598125194
>>282992205Big thanks
>>282992322no problem.
I'd like to know who the editor for Kawaguchi is. Whoever he is, he definitely did a better job as editor than he who must not be named.
Waiting for them...
>>282989312a nothing antagonist, the art is good when it comes to impactful moments or expressions, when it comes to action scenes or landscapes, it's unintelligible. I would like to see OTR's / the others goals redefined again, because it seems too vague, the lesser known characters (cowardly book guy/ wind guy, etc) should have more character building scenes, otherwise it'll just be like Wild Strawberry (all the trappings of a shounen without any reader investment) The villains last lines:>I got to see your real face, you were smilingI don't know what he was trying to say at all here, liking war is a virtue for vikings. Furthermore, him doing a self-sacrificial move doesn't really make sense? He was characterized as cowardly, it doesn't fit
>>282995224I would like to see purpose and characterization similar to that from the first chapter, it feels like this sort of thing has been gradually declining since the iron arc, when you don't have a good arc premise and setting like that, the lack of character depth is really felt
>>282973074Fucked aroundFound out
>>282991147like 2 chapters ago?
Transparent body with visible skeleton is one of my favorite design tropes, I really hope this isn't actually getting axed and this form shows up more, it's hot
>>282995480kinda remind me of his first one-shot manga.https://mangadex.org/title/ee34b5e5-aa9d-4732-854a-a2454ca89e44/skeleton-bolt
>>282995606https://r-cbs.mangafactory.jp/c16286/c209-24186/
>>282991630>DwarfHa!
>>282995224>I don't know what he was trying to say at all here, liking war is a virtue for vikings.He was offended by Otr's offer for mercy and saw it as some sort of a moral superiority stance. To prove Otr wrong gave him satisfaction before death, in addition to his personality that likes angering people. As for Otr he isn't above fighting or killing people. But he doesn't want unnecessary bloodshed>Furthermore, him doing a self-sacrificial move doesn't really make sense? He was characterized as cowardly, it doesn't fitHis methods are cowardly, not his dedication to his conviction. Especially after his whole outlook of life got insulted from his viewpoint.
>>282973016You just named two popular series that had far more freedom to control their pacing
>>282991630As much as I like to see Otr x Sindra happen, Otr x Etupirko is still a safe bet, unfortunately.
>>282972546Thank you for posting.
>>282997903Inb4 some Otr X Sindra doujin comes next month in DLSite
>>282995224I think he meant Otr trying to be a moral fag when a couple of seconds prior he was he was going full demon
What if Khuteinn doesn't join the main cast and goes off for his own training journey like Otr first did?
This guy
>>282989312all the 4 male villains so far look exactly the same, are they cloned or what?
>>283003140The chances of editor san allowing Kawaguchi to give Otr a crab transformation are low, but not zero.
