I have been storming through manga, as you may have noticed. Some thoughts.

Berserk - I last read a few chapters before they got off the board when Rickert showed up. Berserk does feel a little...odd right now. I think it's just spent so long in a cooldown mode in regards to grit, and the release schedule is amplifying that. Hard to beleive the GutsZod lightning charge wasn't even that long ago chapter wise, when it was the point I reached when I first caught up with the manga over 8 years ago.

Hunter x Hunter - Just unbelievable how little it took to catch up after 3 years. That said, wow is this arc wordy. Berserk gets off the boar, HxH gets on one! I'm actually very invested in the intrigue of this arc, it's just difficult to see where it's going,
And I could see it lasting a loooooon time. Oddly the Hisoka and Chrollo fight....didn't do much for me, wasn't a fan of how it played out even though it's appropriate for the series.


Dasei 67 Percent - this is just fun dumb comedy. Don't know of anyone is reading it. Shimimaru is a fav artist for....reasons, even in a real manga.

Tokyo Ghoul - talked about this plenty. Highly recommend it, probably forget the anime.

Houseki no Kuni - this thing really just moves. I guess the rapid pacing could be a turnoff for some, but the story just doesn't feel like it's meant to be incredibly long. I feel like it may not even take that much longer to end, though that could easily change. While the manga is hard to accept after the gorgeous anime, especially without the color that does so much for it, it does have it's own charm.

JoJolion - this really needs to go somewhere. As it continues to progress, I'm starting to feel like it'll be difficult for this not to end up as one of the weakest Parts.

Real Account - after a fairly interesting start this ended up being hilariously bad. I guess this is how some people feel about Future Diary? This will surely sit comfortably in my ranking for bottom 10 for a good long time.

Magical Girl Apocalypse - by contrast I was expecting this one to be a so bad it's good kind of thing, and it started out with that being very possible, but man this got legit. Maybe the whiplash of settings and enormous twists might he a bit too much for people, but I was right at home.

On the queue - MHA Vigilantes, One Piece, OPM, Golden Kamuy.
