Ch. 23 - A Strategic Retreat
>>290896643Off to a strong start.
>>290896693the longer this goes the more it's starting to resemble og kenichi
>>290896643SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX
>>290896839basically "don't get ahead of yourself, punk"
>>290896900so that dude was actually another fortuna lol
>>290896983Shigure never gets a chance to spar with Kenichi
>>290896867god I love how even the Elder's explanations are over-the-top.
End of chapter
>>290896658Hips
>>290897066Hmm. I wonder why he'd run away at the sight of a literal death machine being built to torture and potentially kill him... Must be his fault.
i remember gooning to this shit when i was 13
>>290897001They have daily sparring sessions. Shigure-chan rarely comes out on top tho.
>>290897035bunda
>>290897186Yesterday?
>>2908973382013 feels like yesterday indeed
>>290896643Why is she looking at me like that?
Some nice titillation this chapter
>>290896867>Akisame was never in dangerObviously, they are monsters after all.>>290896963>>290896983Needless to say they increase their sparring level little by little with Kenichi and he just unlocked a new training tier/hell.>>290897101Thanks for the dump anon, let us hope the author starts increasing the T&A and techniques/combat chaptersImo this "arc" was too short to enjoy the fight
>>290896839Well we all knew this.
>>290897101Thanks OP!
Ok fags, tell me you haven't seen this same chapter at least 20 times already, along with how the previous run was going?It's just the same shit over and over and over. I thought something might actually change with how the previous run ended, that the stupid fights were tiring and no progress with Miu was made. Jesus Christ, just give us something new. At this pace Renka is already long forgotten.Do we need 200 more chapters of the same fucking shit?>Actually you're still learning, Kenichi. Masters are god-level and Miu is still better than you.Oh what's that, he ran away from training? HAHAHA THAT'S SO FUNNY!Please I'm not asking much, just give us 10 chapters of him fucking and impregnating Shigure non stop until Miu Kills herself out of jealousy.
>>290896839It's been more than 500 chapters, please show some respect to my lil fella.>>290896693Matsuena, you fucking coward, deliver more foot fanservice.>>290897008The Buck Breaker 3000. Now with DDR.>>290897101Thanks for the dump.
>>290896963Funny how any Yomi or disciple like Tanimoto would jump of joy at higher level training yet Kenichi sees it as torture.
>>290897943Whydo you think it would change? The manga didn't end because it was doing bad
>>290898352Despite everything he has accomplished, Kenichi has never genuinely become a martial autist.He's still just a regular dude at heart who wants to score with Miu.
>>290897943The upper master level of a mangaka is doing the same thing over and over and still being praised by his ~minions~ audience.
>>290898550???No, that's just homosexuals in love with it, not how good a mangaka is...>>290898372BS, almost all the people I know that read the manga stopped after Miou was kidnapped and brainwashed after the Muai Thai master, then I dont remember even what arc comes and them the rushed ending, you could literally tell at the very list it lost popularity right after that.
>>290898634I too enjoy anecdotal evidence
>>290896643FUCK.
>>290897101Good chapter. I always like the stress free chapters where the masters joke around
>>290896721Every time they go give all the masters their titles again, it just becomes funnier.
>>290898634it didn't reflect in the saleslast couple of vols actually did some of the better numbersit got cancelled for reasons other than sales numbers. nowadays those types of numbers would actually put it in the top selling manga, but sales in general are down nowadays
>>290896643I lost...
>>290897035>>290897066This guy must draw a ton of porn for himself.
>>290896839>>290896867Akisame the goat
>>290898634Wow, the small number of people you know surely represents the majority.
>>290896983Shigure never gets to train him.
>>290898763Anyway, they included nipples for something, not like they felt "Hey maybe I should include this thing randomly" not like the fights along will bring readers, what's so effing wrong as a reader and a man to want something better?Like for the life of me I will never understand how someone can do the same thing over and over for years and be fine with it.>>290898832The same goes for you. It was selling well, so then we should keep having the same thing forever, no progress, same fights, same jokes?I s discussing this with Grok, about stupid mild of the run harems with no progression "A lot of the target viewers (especially the LN/manga crowd that keeps these series running) actively prefer the status quo. Once a confession or kiss happens, the dynamic changes and some of the easy wish-fulfillment evaporates. So the story just… doesn’t. It stays in the “almost, but not quite” zone indefinitely. That’s why you get seasons (or multiple volumes) of the girls fighting over him with zero millimeters of actual progress. It’s not a bug for that audience; it’s the feature."Is this you? Let's just keep having the same because I like it, any inch of progress will make me anxious?
>>290897008Why is Akisame always building these s&m machines
>>290897035Miu's fat rear end.>>290897066Back to running
Ah, it truly was a troll all along. Makes sense.
>>290897943>>290898917Anon, you should be aware by now that nips mangakas never change their formulas. What you see is always what you get.
>>290898917>Discussing this with GrokOh so you're a troll or a retard. Carry on everyone.
>>290898990Well of course, some punkass no-name weapons division """master""" cannot catch Akisame lacking.
>>290898974None of the series with hot girls like this ever has good porn. They never look like the girls and the proportions are always wrong
>>290898917kenichi is not really about romantic progression.it's about kenichi inching closer and closer to master status.him being slapped down by the masters is more of a running gag than anything, because he's obviously progressed greatly from the start. his masters have outright stated (behind his back) that they try to keep him humble by talking down to him, but secretly they praise him.the one time he got cocky, he lost to a guy much inferior to him.if you want to see him fuck miu or shigure i'm afraid you're just reading the wrong series.
>>290896755These days her beaming face sometimes catches my attention more than her lewd nipples. Such is aging.
>>290899041The features are so exaggerated and your desensitized to the nudity. What would a doujin have to offer your own imagination hasn't already?
>>290898917>I s discussing this with Grokholy kek anon, you should stop. You are genuinely like a month away from AI psychosis and going insane judging from this and the way you're typing and talking to other people. You might be in the looney bin sooner or later.
>>290899052>That one chapter where Shigure's mouse led him to hear the Masters praising Kenichi and being proud of him
>>290896839>>290897526Well, I fell for it. I forgot Akisame could easily beat metal angel sculpture man.
>>290896755Could Miu have soloed this master
>>290898990>>290899037I mean.... the Yami masters broke from their special made prison easily and akisame was above them
>>290899155probably
>>290899155honestly the jacked ninja guy she fought looked like more of a menace than this geek.although apparently he was trash too according to the ninja fakers
>>290898997Yeah, but I'm not find with that, the first 3 chapters I notice it was the same shit and starting complaining I noticed the same complacency for the manga like now, everything is fine, funny, good, Jesus christ 300 chapters of the same? and no, you are not particulary right, I know japs are retardedly eat shitters that don't complaint and just consume but even then the manga media has change, a ROMCOM or a romance would give you a confession or a kiss at the very end of a series, now you can see that is not majorly the case, many shows where the couples start midway or at the very least there is more progression, there has being hope you acknowledge a slight change, just like this, there were no "nipples" clearly seeing and now he draw them, What's wrong with you guys that are just "fine" with the same manga that was cancelled all over again.>>290899003Ok retard, talking with anime with whom, starting a thread here and get ignore or in bleddit and get cancelled for liking harem? when you could easily get a reply with a database of millions of others opinions like talking with an expert? >Muh le AI bad I'm so cleaver huehuehuehue>>290899101This is /a/ weren't we supposed to be lonely retards watching anime?Man this is so frustrated seeing how /co/ and /a/ are full of normies, you all full of friends and normal lives? >>290899052Obviously not fuck, but wasn't interesting seeing the few interactions he had with Shigure? why keep reading 50 chapters of an arc about him doing the same "I fight someone stronger but I remember a new technique and I win or get saved by others"Then you lost interest and Miu shows up and touch his hand and that enough fan service to go through another 50 more chapters? Really?
>>290899258>Then you lost interest and Miu shows up and touch his hand and that enough fan service to go through another 50 more chapters? Really?There's been a lot more fan service in this series than just that brother.Again different strokes for different folks.If you want romancing, you probably should've noticed within the first few hundred chapters or so that this wasn't really the manga for it.It's there a little bit but it's not the main thing, never was. There's still probably more of that than in the average shonen fighting manga.
>>290899312Sigh... I mean you are not wrong, I learned with MHA to never go for romance with a shonen shit, but I read Kenichi way early than that and I jsut frustrated this is going for the same shit, just your standard run of the mild fights, I mean, even you guys, If you care about the fights there are literally way more focus works out there, you are here because you like the girls, the fan service and the development of Kenichi towards his improvement, yet, this development will never finished because the moment he become a master the manga ends, what else if there to improve aside from his combat skills, relationshiops? Renka? heck that's what I'm asking, just more variety, does he really needs to keep coming with the same jokes iof "Oooh you are actually pathetic Kenichi, you are still not at that level Ooop[s he escaped wonder why HAHAHAHA" I'll probably just keep lurking the threads and not interacting, seems everyone is just happy with the same shit.
Sounds exactly like someone that's going to keep pissing and shitting his pants in every new chapter. Guess we had to get a resident schizo at some point though
>>290897066He draws this a lot, but is she gritting or teeth or not?
>>290899457it's been 13 years since kenichi was originally released. nowadays you don't really get much manga like it anymore.the fanservice is unashamed, and it handles switching from comedy to serious moments really well, without messing up the tone of the manga.few manga these days really have running gags or background interactions.
>>290897066Honoka next chapter, maybe megane and that damn girl will appear too.
Who is the most based master, /a/?
>>290900133The answer is so obvious I dont think anybody needs to mention him.
>>290896839i see a demon back.
>>290896920I don't think he was THAT weak. What he was doing with his meteor hammer was objectively more impressive than anything Fortuna did. I'd put him closer to that one secret master government official. You know, the guy that screamed "death to anyone too young to vote!"
