>>285587898>Alda will now DIE FOR YOU.
>>285588033Tell me she is gonna be okay... I don't want her to die!
>>285588033Pano, you better ride his baloney pony once this is over
>>285588033i know that adapters are really durable but how is she still alive
>>285587838look at that power stance>>285588033thanks for the dump anon
>>285587934Bob!
>>285588090Because her head is intact, speedreader-kun.
Pano and Alda should hookup and that’s why Alda stays with the party.
>>285588162>Pano and Alda should hookup
>>285588162Alda has Bongo already
MAD is #1 on J+ today
>>285588214we did it...
Man, im glad i catched up whit this manga, why in the hell i skipped in the first place, i have no idea
>>285588307you must have been MAD
>>285588033Aww, they are crying
>>285588162Leave this fandom
>>285588162Are you MAD?
>>285588398ke
>>285587682John M. Thunder!
MAD sales.
>>285588751Bongo is objectively better than Pano's ass.
>>285588214>becomes a generic shounen>normies start to like itpottery
>>285588033Thanks for the dump, OP.Rate the chappy!
>>285588770t. Alda
>>285588785The author gotta eat you know.
So is yazur getting his ass best next chapter?
>>285589153John's probably going to run around to look for food to heal Pano regen while Yazur loses it and attacks Alda&co.
>>285587440>he can chat while fightingJohn leveled up fast.
>>285588785>genericListen, if we move into an adaptor combat tournament arc after this then I’ll admit you’re right. As it stands the world building and suspense have been pretty good.
>>285589320>adaptor combat tournament archoly kino
>>285588033>still crying That's still our John.
>>285589571
>>285589661Imagine jobbing to your little sister
>>285589320My philosophy is that "every story, no matter the tone, only benefits from having a tournament arc", so I see no issues here
>>285589699Big brothers are made to job to their little sisters
>muh strongman Im so done with the kengan-tier dialogue>>285587310yay it's the racial slurs lizard!>>285588033>pano's panosright now she is looking a lot like my favourite sexually-ambiguous maverick hunter
>>285588785 >normies
>>285588785thread's deader than Pano though
>>285587381John is lucky. Bongo would have destroyed him.
>>285591018Threads used to die with 50 posts not too long ago, tourist.
>>285587707Great page.
>>285587880He's a big guy.
>>285587404Kino paneling
>>285591214looks more like a storyboard than a manga panel, same stuff fujimbo loved to do
>>285588785Genuine question, why do you think it's generic?
>>285591290fuck off faggot
Sucks that I've grown oddly fond of Yazur because I keep having to fight the urge to cope myself into thinking he's not gonna die, or turn into some amorphous abomination and then die.
>>285588751>Momentum is still going strongBeautiful!Hopefully we keep going up to main J+ lineup status.
Your days are numbered John, pigly is on the hunt
>>285591443Bongo no diffs Pigly
>>285589571I wouldnt want him any other way
>>285591347Imagine if the entire cult is wiped out but he ends up joining the revenge squad
MAD had new PV for volume 6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tSSd-za9P4
All that's left is for that one adapter crushing on Alda to defect and join their side
>>285592567Darksynth music is the perfect genre for this series
>>285592567Familybros...
>>285592522For that to happen things'd probably have to go like>Alda/John engage him in a fight>He loses, is super fucked up>Either escapes or something happens where they can't finish him and have to flee>Dragging himself around the land>Leon finds him and takes him in because he's basically full-on regressed mentally at that pointWouldn't hate it though, kinda funny to imagine each villain from an arc has a person that joins the revenge family.
>>285592685
bongo better survive this
Character chart.
>>285588033that means her mouth hole can still be used John
>>285588033Will he wear her like a backpack next chapter?
>>285587682that's my fuarking hero right there...
Everyone is worried about Yazur. But the true danger is one of the cultists deciding to shoot ten of these guys and alerting the horde on realistic difficulty.
>>285592567>350kholy fuark that pretty good for a no name manga
>>285593434>no name mangathat one was axed
>>285592726Nta but yazur strikes me as a guy who has bombs in their base to blow it all out in case something happens
>>285593223shouldnt serios be (deceased) now?
>>285593632I'm keeping him in for now, just in case. His death was a bit too random.
>>285592775bongo carries the seriesbongo is best girlpano a shit
>Bongo is a plot relevant character
>>285593223I ship Saki and Alda.
>>285593692post cloaca, you cold blooded bastard>>285593434threadly reminder that she was built for big adapter cock
>>285593753Kys Oscar
>>285587682I love it everytime he says it out loud
>>285591347Yazur can absolutely become a reoccurring character yet.But then again, I thought the same about Serios.
>>285593948Surely you can't be Serios
>>285593948at this rate Jhon "Mad" Thunder will get his own sinister six if he keeps this up
>>285593990I was really MAD about it.
>>285591214I knew someone else smiled at thisMAD is casually and quietly the best ongoing manga in print
>>285588033Great chapter. Thanks for the dump. Also: MAMAS MARRONS!
FUCK I forgot about the chapter today and I wasn't even busy or anything. I've let my MAD family down...
SEXOOOO
>>285594193Alright I read it. Very good chapter. Great even. Alda is 100% confirmed as a true bro and hopefully a full time member of team John hereafter. The part where they were having a conversation while massacring a horde of aliens was kino. The panel with Bongo crying was cute. Also pic related was completely unnecessary but cool as fuck and it's clever ideas like this that make this manga so much fun to read.>>285588033Thanks for the dump bro
>>285587838John Motherfucking Thunder and Alda are about to link up, need it or keep it?>>285588033Its just a flesh wound, she will recover. If we are lucky it will be in time for the family reunion
>>285588162Doesn't Alda already have a bimbo adaptor who wants the D, lets make that team of superhumans plus Alda
>>285593434Pano power
>>285588162Let John have something good for once. Alda has Bongo anyway.
>>285594962
>>285594239I wonder if they can consciously disable the regeneration so she can be carried around and fucked
>>285595252
>>285595240I am not even MAD, Alda is cool
>>285595252...anon?
>>285587527I was expecting Alda to be a cyborg. Is this a Levi Ackerman situation?
>>285593223Luo desertion soon
I thought this had ended/was ending soon?
>>285596014are you barking MAD
Alda is like one of the most blatant attempts by an author to create a fan favorite character:>strongest human>can kill aliens effortlessly with his swords>cute pet>indifferent on the outside, but caring inside( look how he tried to save the child!)>handsome, female evil adapter got the hots for him, but he is just too strong to care for pussy>slave past to make him even more sympatheticPlease love him, normies.
>>285595583No he is just really strong
>>285596182He is MAD's OC.
>>285596182>normiesHe's cool as fuck, who cares normalfags think.
>>285596182
>>285596014Why would you think that?
>>285596310NTA but I kinda get it, J+ has been quite axe-happy recentlyBut with 6 volumes out and >3.5K sales it should be safe
>>285596215Both Alda and Lucas are fine you guys really have to start just enjoying shit instead of being nit picky faggots
>>285596353The axe is one thing, but it sounds like that anon is making out that the story is about to wrap up, and there is zero indication of that happening any time soon in my eyes.
>>285596215Alda's primary motivation is not revenge
>>285596417>but it sounds like that anon is making out that the story is about to wrap upThe blonde psycho from Jericho is still alive and hunting them down. We haven't seen him outside of the bonus chapters so I don't know how the hell anyone can say Mad is wrapping up that massive plot line is dangling
>>285596353It's also #1 on J+ and its PV made 350k views in 2 weeks. MAD is as safe as you can get.
>>285587586Yazur's ability is explosions. Maybe others could implant tissue that activates their own personal ability.
>>285596477>The blonde psycho*Family manAlso handsome
>>285596477>>285596601He would later die of a cold.
>>285588033I don't see how Pano can regen from this. She doesn't have a stomach anymore.
>>285596677She doesn't need a stomachOther adaptors managed to regen with similar wounds, adaptor biology just werks
>>285596677
>>285596677Anon, do you realize what the number 1 feature of the aliens is, they don't fucking die
>>285596677I bet you think this is Earth
>>285596910>>285597023Nothing has said the adaptors don't need to eat post transformation.>>285597115Fuck you, bastard.
>>285596601
>>285599164/our/ hero
Pano must live.
>>285599164nigga
>>285587276i almost missed the thread. im pissed
Finally caught one of these threads.I love John Madden
>>285592567MADbros...
>>285588785I will invest in this before it gets too big
>>285587555Why bongo sad in this panel?
>>285604437thingken of bomb
>>285587276>MAD
>>285587276>black ink on white paperwhen will we get white ink on black paper?
>>285604437Bongo is a deep thinker.
>>285596310>>285596353Just something I saw mentioned in the threads here. I've been curious about the manga so I drop into the threads from time to time but didn't start reading since I got the impression it was ending.Might've just mixed it up with some other manga. Glad to hear it's going strong! Will start reading it soon in that case, rather than waiting for the final chapter
>>285604740
>>285598666nigga, it was stated they will regenerate everything as long as the brain is intact
>>285605810>Might've just mixed it up with some other manga.You were thinking of MID, MAD's infinitely worse spin-off series.
>>285606701Damn, I can really go for a round of Ojimuka now
>>285605988Kek.
Wait I'm confused, didn't the last chapter end on John getting into the hideout?
>>285607796It ended on John being about to fight the guards where pano was tied
>>285607811And that's not where Alda was? So Alda freed the people and then went all the way to a different place where Pano was? Weird continuity.
>>285607842No alda went to free the people while John went to free panoThey split up for this
>>285607886how could they split up for this if they were enemies until this chapter
>>285607902This chapter is telling us how that happened Are you confused about the flash back scene?>John kills the adapter>alda talks it out with him because he doesn't want to fight him>they go to the hideout>alda saves the group>John goes for pano
>>285605988Marvelous
What is the purpose of Lily going forward? She and Bob seem like useless burdens at this point.
>>285608860>What is the purpose of Lily going forward?Stakes.
>>285608860Seeing our bro Bob being happy.
>>285608860Imagine not wanting Bob to be happy and posting it
>MAD threads now consistently get to 200 postsnice, not too long ago we died at 40
>>285591311not him but aldas whole character arc and the idea of this arc is pretty played outnot to say that its bad or anything, its been done quite well so far, but remove the graphic violence + aliens and this could easily be a one piece arc
>>285609748Aldas behavior follows a logical pattern and is concurrent with how the world operates. Unless both of you mean generic as in the idea of former villains joining the main cast. But at that point it's a matter of not understanding storytelling.>but remove the graphic violence + aliens and this could easily be a one piece arcYou lost me.
>>285608860Either Lily and Bob ultimately get dropped off somewhere safe and disappear from the story or they die, possibly by Leon's hands.Bob especially has death written all over him, but who knows, we still don't have a clear idea of what's going to happen to John&co. after the Yazurists are dealt with.Will he stay with Pano (if she survives) and her group or move forward? Because if it's the latter I'm fairly sure both Bob and Lily would follow him in that case, which means wandering off somewhere until they find another settlement or trying to make their own settlement somewhere.The story can go anywhere really, all we know for sure is that Leon (and Oscar) is out there looking for revenge and that there's at least one alien hive queen that must be dealt with, that's the only two plot points that have yet to be resolved, everything else is totally open to whatever twist, shenanigan or narrative possibility you can think of, we're just 40 chapters in and even though this looks like a 100-150 chapter series there's still no greater overarching plot point outside of our HERO's survival, even the imouto tulpa is gone by now.
>>285610545Yeah Bob is a walking death sentence. I don't think Lily is gonna die but they'll probably stay with the Grius and will slowly phase out of the story, hell, they already basically did. UNLESS, the author plans to make them adaptors as well.
>>285610808They didn't become adaptors in Jericho where they aggressively tried to get as many adaptors as possible, I don't see either getting that sort of deal now or in the future.I mean, maybe Bob could be force fed alien meat by someone at some point and die because of it but Lily? Don't really see it unless it's Oscar doing it to kill her, she ain't got the stuff to become an adaptor, either way that kind of scenario looks like suffering porn for John who'll have to kill them to end their suffering which is not entirely impossible given the mood of the story, but it also feels a bit too clichè.The problem with trying to make predictions is that again, we have only two major plot points going forward and so far John himself doesn't really have any aim or purpose outside of simply surviving, you can make all sorts of hypotheses because there's no greater overarching narrative to look forward to and help us contextualize some possible twists, for better or worse nearly anything can happen.
>>285611004>They didn't become adaptors in Jericho where they aggressively tried to get as many adaptors as possible, I don't see either getting that sort of deal now or in the futureBecause the author clearly had no idea where the story will go at that point. Now that we transitioned to a full on fighting manga, everyone getting some sort of fighting ability powerup is a must.
>>285611104Yeah, thing is I don't see that everyone.I don't see either Bob or Lily sticking around for much longer, you make a good argument but I simply can't see either of these characters staying relevant outside of possible future deaths, especially in Bob's case, either that or Otori keeps them as peanut gallery material and people that give John meaning as something to protect.Though again, the story can go almost anywhere so who knows.
>>285611104nah I have faith in him. Let him cook.
>>285592567>350k views>it doesn't even translate to 1% of the saleswhat the fuck is wrong with japan? They are taking things for granted, they have to realise that it might get axed if it doesnt sell well,right?
>>285605988funnypow
>>285611502I don't know why some random J+ series sell 10/20k while others like MAD are barely existing at around 2/3k.
>>285610545There is everything about the aliens. Their origin, their change over the terrain, the horned ones etc.There is also the new settlement that Alda mentioned this chapter. This is a story where elements introduced in a off-panel can be transformed into an arc on its own.>>285611104They won't. It's already been established that becoming an adapter is a gamble. It will be ridiculous if everyone got it and I trust the author has a solid idea of how to do it.
>>285612756>It will be ridiculous if everyone got itJust like super saiyajin?
>>285587276Don’t make me ___
>>285587404Glad they’re showing up now
>>285613278Does failure to attain SS turn you into a lump of flesh?
>>285604437Because he can’t save his master.
>>285587691True
>>285612756>There is everything about the aliens. Their origin, their change over the terrain, the horned ones etcHonestly I don't think any of that is important or will be explained in detail, the aliens themselves don't really feel like the focus of this manga, it's more about the straggling humans trying to deal with them, so far they've been more like a force of nature than anything and I'd prefer they stay this way, an existential threat with no bigger let alone moral implications.
>>285587682>I’m John MADGood page
>>285588096Almost the Anteater Stance
>>285613453We will at least get a look at the way they function given we got a glimpse at one of their caves. Whether we will get anything beyond that is up in the air but it's still a plot thread that's on the table right now.
>>285588033Babe…
