Manga Discussion 2: Keep Your Vanilla Hentai To A Minimum (Spoilers Abound)

[Vandalhart]

Agreed, but if my knowledge of manga is any indicator, there will be some backstory to make us want to feel or see why she acts the way she does.

Misfit of the Demon King Academy cancelled due to the artist's health. It's Pancreatic Cancer...

Kayaharuka has passed away.

[Obsidian]

Oof.

[Tyrath]

Goddamn that was quick. RIP

[NotGreyheim]

Sadly that's how late-stage Pancreatic Cancer goes. I just lost my aunt last week to it. It's miserable.

[NotGreyheim]

Every time I see that there's a new chapter of Boy's Abyss my stomach just bottoms out. I wish I could bring myself to stop reading it.

That is absolutely terrifying. Especially because they can only find it early when theyre looking for something else.

I’m sorry for your loss.

[carlweathers]

Disregard: accidental double-lost.

[Zealot]

Takamura did it, 3 weight classes down.

And he didn't give a post-match speech that turned the crowd against him, either.

[Obsidian]

I haven't read Ippo in forever. Has he gotten back in the ring yet?

[Vaspinne]

Nope. Years since he 'retired' and he's still vaguely hinting at returning to the ring still. Takamura is the only thing making the manga worthwhile at this point... which even when Ippo was boxing, was still kinda true

[detlef]

I kinda had to drop it, too many chapters where Ippo is like looking at his clenched fist and thinking about maybe doing something, whether it's boxing or making a move on his girl or some inanity.

[Vandalhart]

Yeah, there's been unending hints that he's in even better shape than he was when he was in the ring.

[Vandalhart]

I found a webtoon that fell of my radar apparently finished a year or two ago so I went back and finished it. Magician. Gotta say, the ending was "okay", but the epilogue ruined it for me.

[Nullibicity]

How so ? as I have that on my list to finish at some point as well.

I can spoil it if you want:

Spoiler: show

So, in the end, Endermask comes to the realization that in order for his lady to wake up , he has to die. So he sacrifices himself so she may do that. That was acceptable to me.

The main issue I had was that the entire series had Enz and Iremy have this tension of a relationship and after Endermask takes his own life, Iremy decides that she's going to travel the world to look for a way to resurrect him leaving Enz and the majority of the rest of the crew behind. The epilogue takes place 6 years after the final battle and I was just displeased with no Enz/Iremy connection. You would think that seeing the struggles and hardship Endermask went through she wouldn't want to follow in his footsteps.

It may have been because I stopped reading for so long before finishing it, but I don't really understand the Iremy infatuation with Endermask. There was always a hint of her being obsessed with him even after the first timeskip where they separate.

[Nullibicity]

Thanks, that's unfortunate to hear as I agree with your sentiment.

[Vandalhart]

Übel Blatt: Omg I forgot about this one. I honestly don't remember a ton about it.
Claymore: Is 100% worth a read.

Forgot to post that I finished Claymore a week or two ago and it was a great read.
