I do like Hotaru took responsibility as she wanted to do. Otsuru just feels like a miserable person stuck in the past. Yes, what happened to her sister was tragic, and I assume she didn't find out about the situation before it was too late. But I don't understand how this relates to Miyo and her father. Feels like the type of person that set these ideals to live by and is ignorant to stick with even though looking at each situation is important.

I am unsure to feel about the time skip. I get they can't travel until spring is what I assume. This little arc was great to see growth from Hotaru and there is more for her to grow from it.

Another dope chapter.

The first part of the chapter is really interesting. Yuri Holst just wants Jio and Neraid to stay alive. Neraid in some ways was molded by Yuri? I do love Jio's resolve here not to just listen to her father and go on her adventure. Of course, getting more allies is a must for any adventure.

Reno being a dragon knight who lost their territory. The most interesting part Schmidt Zachmann is a former subordinate of Yuri Holst. Of course, that is where our group is going. Hopefully, they can help Reno, and he accompanies them when they go after Schmidt.

Ragna Crimson Volume 13

Prob will catch up to raws soon since Vol 14 came out in JP 2 months ago.

Ragna wanting to be the leader because he is willing to kill off all dragons. According to Crimson, the order of things is to now invade Gehenna and once that is down the Great Crusade can start. The basis of Crimson's plans. Consider Crimson specifically mentioned Glestinowak clearly means he will be relevant soon. The most important is the Scaled Bloodline. As we get a focus later of their Progenitor Kou Tenran. The Eyed Bloodline and their leader Sigmalo is all that remains of it. We can clearly see a relationship between Scaled and Eyed bloodlines. Though Sigmalo is messed up. Viewing that anyone can become human, but the irony he doesn't have a heart.

DA935690-87E4-4F0E-9CCD-2AEFDF8B560F.jpg


Meanwhile, for Kou Tenran she seems really unstable. She harbors some love for Sigmalo. Though it is difficult to make out of it. The Roaring Bloodlines also seem to have an alliance with them. With their Monarch Bagram. But in terms of power to Kou and Sigmalo he is nothing, but a puppet. More than likely, he is who Ragna will face next. Of course, not much remains of the Bones Bloodline, but Glestinowak seems to be working under Sigmalo so he might be a part of the Eyed Bloodline. The fact these 4 bloodlines are working together makes this a bigger challenge then when they faced the Ultimata.

Meanwhile, on Ragna's side he will have the church find Leo. But he wants to reunite with the master that trained him. Li Ruoxi. The ironic part she is already part of the alliance of Saints. Of course, much like Shin, he doesn't want her to fight if she doesn't want to. But, of course, much like Shin, she intends to fight. Of course, Ragna being an idiot, says it in a way that insults Ruoxi. Slime makes it 100 times worse by making him out to be a Lolicon. :mjlol:

It's not all bad as Ragna enters a match with the Saint of Dragons. Whom is a Demi-Dragon similar to how in many fantasies we have Demi-Humans. Has characteristics of dragons, but lacking the power is a nice touch. Although no surprise, she is no match for Ragna. Though it further proves that he was able to beat Kaumi. For her, she wanted to prove she could finally match up to him. Overall, she is a good companion for Ragna going forward. Although the machine Saint that disciplined Slime is not one, you want to mess with.

Interesting touch out of Crimson to utilizing the remaining of the Argentum Corp to utilize his new Sword armor. Curious how this is used in the play of battle. Ragna, Saint of Prisons and Ruoxi seem to be used as bait to lure out the enemy. It is obvious it is a trap, but the good old we know it is a trap, so let's let them think we are unaware. Curious how it plays out, especially considering they are putting their strongest Saint in Ragna. Of course, they might be still testing him. Honestly, the way Ruoxi and the Saint of Prisons describe silverline's origin is really interesting. Something that looks like Silver making actually silver useless is funny. Though it is said Silverline comes from the Silver Comet, which is given by "The Lord" to defeat the dragons. Interesting tale.

For much of Ragna's talk, it is nice to see Ruoxi in action. She's really proving herself to be worth the praise Ragna mentions of her. Her being a prodigy and the last hero of humanity seems about right. As the Saint of Prisons recovers the Silver Comet, the trap is even bigger than they imagined. Considering the alliance outlined earlier, Ragna and Ruoxi could be in big trouble.

The Elusive Samurai Chapter 169

Just a phenomenal chapter :wow::mjcry:

While Yorishige was a father to Tokiyuki, Akiie was an older brother to him. We even see the setup of Tokujumaru as a younger brother to him.

As the older brother, Akiie did what an older brother does and pushed their younger one to their limits. Yorishige did that, but a father figure countless times will seek to protect their children. Akiie had Tokiyuki in danger more, but it was necessary for his growth. Tokiyuki wanted one last conversation, but him fleeing in safety is what makes Akiie happy.

C239CACF-F46F-4BEE-881F-C374A8721841.png


Akiie mentions the beauty of a flower is by existing. Akiie himself was as noble as a great flower. It really signifies what makes him a great leader. He held out for as long as he could, so his men could retreat. That truly shows that Akiie's beauty knows no bound. Love the resolve Tokiyuki has saying this is the last day that he weeps.

I really like the direction of this training arc for Taro. This was our introduction to Torres, which he uses a sand blaster. Tbh makes sense for a gambler to rather invest money in gambling rather than his weapons.

Torres has a point about relying on luck. Taro Sakamoto as Rion mentioned in the past, can utilize anything as a weapon. But this is luck technically. We know in the past the older lady mentioned the appeal of him when he had a belly. My guess could be how he utilizes Fatmoto and Skinnymoto.

CD791F02-BBEC-40C2-A783-C9CF68E99355.png

We got the good old debate glitches vs features. Simply the difference between Shion and Yo Shion is controlling her glitches with her True Spring Blooming. The issue with bugs and glitches is that they aren't intended behavior, but Shion uses them to her advantage.

I will admit I do sympathize with Yo. Sometimes the idea of family is better than it actually is. For Yo losing his family is everything to him. Looks like Kyo took care of his business. It is a reminder of how strong and a freak of nature he is.

Akane-banashi Chapter 123

Shiguma's storytelling is at such an immersive level that the audience didn't even notice the fire alarm. It's scary to think if that wasn't a real fire. Shiguma not being phased by the alarm is interesting. As he is immersed in his story along with the audience.

Centuria Chapter 20

Akros tool seems to be water. Its application is both offensively and defensively, as we see with the blood armor. Curious.
I am still amazed that Angvall is alive. I wonder if there is a supernatural reason for her being alive or not? Either the next chapter or the following we will get hit with a turning point of some kind.


Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi Chapter 9

We got the typical exorcism power ranking, but as Mr. Sakaki it doesn't measure strength accurately as Kiyoshi should be higher. Hell Kiyoshi has taken care of the Demon Lords. It is more so a position of influence. I am curious what is Kiyoshi's obstacle going forward. Curious what the Black Parade that is that Kiyoshi's grandmother mentions.

This chapter gave us lots of added question. First Neraid is a Wave Dragon. They already encounter Schmidt is a shapeshifting dragon, which is very interesting. Though given how the towns people acted when they brought up Reno.

So the Cane Dragon, from what I understand, is the Dragon King's eye is some way. The Dragon King is located beyond the sky. Pretty interesting.

Catching up to the manga since it came back from Hiatus

More of a showcase how much of a wild card Übel is along with Land and his ability to copy himself. Give credits to him for sticking with her. Their strategy worked to find a compromise, but at the same time, Übel is still evil. Her being an ally does bring some uncertainty.

I did find it interesting for Denken him joining the Magic Association did create his role with the Empire to be awkward. He won't know the deep secrets, but at the same time he can't deeply involve with the Magic Association. I am glad he has no regrets. Curious what his role will be. Also looks like the group that is going undercover is finally gathering.

Kindaka does have a point about limitations. After all, the order is a bunch of freaks of nature. Hell, even he is one. The only person Heisuke can really learn from would be Kamihate, but that isn't an option. As for Shin, his greatest asset is his ESP.

Nice heart-to-heart talk with Kai. This was one fight that was never a contest. Kyo is a freak of nature in the spy world. Considering Kyo knows him inside and out, this wasn't a contest.Kyo understands that Kai never wanted to side with Asa. The thought of getting everything you lost it is only human for Kai to fall for that temptation. For Kyo he looks at Kai's decision as a very human moment. He can't blame Kai. For him though the guilt of being the one that caused his family's death was a mistake on his part. Anyway that Kyo can rid of that guilt, he would love nothing more.

Unfortunately, in this situation it's Mutsumi and the Yozakura Family that would suffer, and he would never put anything above his family and his sister. Kyo keeps denying it, but the bond between Kyo and Taiyo has been one of the highlights of the manga. Of course, he will deny it to his grave.

Spy x Family Chapter 104

Fun chapter, and we got Damian and the two henchmen and each of their butlers coming along. It is funny the kids are making a journey to get a Stella. While the butlers feel like they are babysitting the kids enjoying their summer. :pachaha:

I want to see more interactions with Damian and his butler in the future.

Akane-banashi Chapter 124

Shiguma can immerse his audience like how an open world video game. That amount of skill is insane. It is beyond what we have seen so far. His point about how you sit is interesting because plenty of times how you move can provide information. For Rakugo even just leaning forward or back can give cues.
Shiguma's point is that if you don't give your audience anything to chew on, that means it's purely up to their imagination. More so allows their minds to see their vision of the story. As we see fully immerse themselves.
Great chapter.

Blue Box Chapter 162

Ayame decision between choosing someone who is available or the one she likes? While in theory, Kyo may never happen. The issue isn't even Kyo, and it is more what does Ayame wants. She might not want to wait for Kyo forever, but is she interested in other guys like that. She has been down this road before and her relationships never worked out. I really want to see Ayame make the push for Kyo. Though the Saki part gives me a headache.
Neko Natsu and the hug was really wholesome. Still giving the chapter some of the usual fluff.

You & I Are Polar Opposites Chapter 60

Nishi took some brave steps. The mom really constantly pushes decisions on Nishi and thankfully, she was able to speak up. Mom didn't help matters, but the key is being able to voice her opinion in general. I am glad she realized it.

Dope chapter to finish up the fight.

Nice job for Alma for being creative and noticing his surroundings. I do like the comment of "Who would love someone that only talks about themself?". Although Utsu is impossible to reason with.
