Spoiler: Sakamoto Days Chapter 189

Things went to shyt. The sad part is if Shin kept his cool, things would have been fine. But now we got a deranged Tenkyu. I am concerned about what Atari mentioned of 3 dying.

One thing I am disappointed with Shin he made that decision without telling Heisuke since Sakamoto Family is as important to him as they are to Shin.

Damn this twist got me

Spoiler: Kagurabachi Chapter 57

You always felt a sense of guilt with Samura. Thinking the sword bearers should die is like thinking they should have died for the lives that were lost. He did make a deal with Yura 3 years ago, but is he still a traitor? What is the stance between Samura & Yura now?

This story has many directions it can go which has me excited.

Spoiler: Mission: Yozakura Family Chapter 250

So in the inverse of Void it takes void and puts it inwards. Honestly, it is a TSB that truly represents Kyo as he is someone who is always will to do what it takes to protect his family. It is not a surprise he would ignore his father's warning of only using it once.

I believe this is the first time Tsumboi has met the twins. Like to see the twins getting involved again.

Spoiler: Akane-banashi Chapter 134

"There’s nothing here, and yet there is everything." That feels like the type of Rakugo that Issho learned to love and that he wants preserve. Issho as the previous chapter showed he still didn't know what he wanted to do. He found his passion in Rakugo. It definitely gives perspective what Rakugo means to Issho.

As this manga progresses, we get more and more depth to what Rakugo means to Issho. I am truly interested in how it affects Akane going forward.

Spoiler: The Elusive Samurai Chapter 180

Awesome to see Hoshina & the other guys back. Plus smart play out of Yoritsugu, he is still keeping his word he is just making Tokiyuki's allies in the past aware of his presence. Very clever.

Spoiler: You & I Are Polar Opposites Chapter 64

As much as I don't want the series to end, it felt inevitable this was to come. Granted the timeskips here and gave some of the feeling the end was in sight. Plus continuing in college never felt like a real possibility since everyone is off on their own paths. I do want to see where everyone ends up and where they are as an adult.

There was no Taria and Azuma confession yet and maybe next chapter will have it. But as we see Taria crying up that the whole year has been fun. For a guy who was a very much of a downer, you can see how much of an impact Azuma had on him. He simply doesn't want their friendship to end. I feel like it would be too soon for Taria to jump into confessing. Which leaves it in Azuma who clearly has feelings for Azuma. Will she be the one to confess first?

Spoiler: Centuria Chapter 30

Julian is heading towards a dangerous path, blaming himself for Angvall's death. It would be more appropriate to treasure what Angvall sought to protect. Leaving Titi behind would have betrayed what she would have wanted since Titi being alone would have been miserable for her.

I am intrigued how Titi is going to step up going forward.

Spoiler: Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Volume 4

Volume 4 was a big one in terms of reveals of what is to come. The biggest one is the introduction of Hanako's little brother Tsukasa. Though the one that he killed was actually him. It makes you wonder what would lead him to kill his brother and which leads to what Tsuchigomori mentions of changing his future. More and more, you see Hanako & Nene's friendship becoming more genuine. We do learn of the ones spreading the rumors in which Hanako was worried about. Curious what these 3 and their goals are.

The next arc gives Kou a nice focus as he deals with the mystery of the middle school entrance. There he meets a boy named Mitsuba, but learning that they were in the same class, but he died shortly after. A heartbreaking aspect was that he wanted to change after being bullied in elementary school, but the only that changed was he went from being bullied to not being remembered. Makes you wonder why this was happening to Mitsuba, it feels like he was cursed. Though Kou telling Mitsuba to be himself was a nice moment where basically Mitsuba takes a picture of Kou since he only takes pictures of things he cares about. That symbolizing him making his first friend.

Sadly, more about Tsukasa gets revealed and more so for the bad. Essentially, Tsukasa makes wishes for the dead while Hanako makes wishes for the living. A fukked up scenario where Tsukasa uses the manner of his wish to cause chaos. We finally learn his wish and that was to make friends and be remembered. Sadly, the choice of words allowed Tsukasa to manipulate Mitsuba. Luckily, Hanako arrived to save Kou, but makes you wonder what is Tsukasa and the other 2's goal? The only hint that we get from Hanako is that death is the end. Essentially, it is the natural end of the world, and he wanted Mitsuba to rest peacefully.

Spoiler: Dark Gathering Chapter 60

As the God starts fighting, we finally see him fighting seriously. It is quite scary how strong he is. Though there is one condition with the 5 skills that Tama mentioned and that if you picture it as a series of 1-on-1 fights, the God will always win. Also the type of curse technique being used must be the same. So essentially, God can take on each curse separately. So the key would be using the same curse technique multiple times. That in which will be key in winning this fight.

Spoiler: Kai-hen Wizards Chapter 10

One thing we do learn here is that when the Prince uses his divine eyes, his memory becomes distorted. That is one going forward. Speculation that a witch and journey man in a story created a child with the divine eyes. This may or not be more important going forward.

At this point, it's clear the Prince won't be obedient, so it makes sense for Zemu to give a bit more, but be strict. Kind of cool to see that raw mana itself is dangerous. It seems that at least yellow is an ally and will keep watch of Blue, Red and Purple. Though I am curious why the older black brother is one to look out for. Is it because he can see the past?

Spoiler: Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister Chapter 160

It's nice to see a younger version of Miemon, and it makes sense why he is the way he is. He is quite fond of Chiharu, and she put everything on her shoulders. So when she died he was upset thinking that nobody was out to help her. Also, I wonder if the 3rd student was Mahiru?

The big lesson for Yuna here is she can't compare herself to Chiharu. It is remarkable how much she can get done by herself and that is something Yuna will never be able to achieve. Yuna needs to focus on herself rather than trying to measure up to her mom.

Given how Yuna since the start of the series has been a slow, but diligent worker. That diligence and charisma can win people over like with Uryu. It is not to say Chiharu doesn't have that, but it's clear that asking for help was something of a struggle for her.

Spoiler: Tune into the Midnight Heart Chapter 54

Sensei is really putting them in the ringer with the étude practice. Though she wants to see how creative they can be and see who can take the moment to shine. As well as who can be creative and think on the fly.

I am impressed with Nene. She did well here. She bounced back very well. Meanwhile, Shinobu is struggling even more. I did get the feeling she didn't think things through with attending the school. I am not surprised, but it hurts to see. I wonder if that other girl is a broadcaster?

Spoiler: Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Volume 5

Interesting start to the volume as Nene gets into trouble as she runs into the other trio. Despite them being what is most likely in an antagonist role, they are pretty likable minus Tsukasa. Natsuhiko is a goofball, especially when he is around Sakura. Though he does seem level-headed when it comes to Tsukasa. Sakura is comparison to Nene is pretty interesting. They are both basically assistants to the Yugi brothers, but there is a difference in their relationship. Sakura can't disobey Tsukasa, and it comes from a rather logical perspective. While for Hanako it has turned closer to even relationship him and Nene.

Given then Natsuhiko ended up with Nene it seemed obvious that she wasn't in mortal danger. Still, the place called nowhere is rather interesting since it could lead anywhere, but nowhere at the same time. The trio's goal wasn't to hurt Nene, but trap her from Hanako? Well, she is able to get back to her world, but she encounters Hanako or Amane when he was a student. Hanako found Nene and got her back, but that one moment of seeing him as a student more wants her to be able to protect Hanako. Though she still has a bit to go in that regard.

The next arc was really giving hints regarding Aoi since she knew all of these rumors. Previously, it would seem that she could be involved with the Supernatural and their assistant spreading rumors, but we know that is Tsukasa and Sakura. Next we dived into the first school mystery, which is the three clock keepers. One can reverse time, one can stop time and the last can move time forward. Though how Akane gets revealed as an assistant to the number 1 school mystery is interesting. Hanako notices that he was able to hit him out of Nene's body and used that to bait him to interfere by saving Aoi. Since we all can see how much he loves Nene. It is rather strange how there are supposed to be 3 time keepers, but there really are only 2.

Much like with Sakura, there are similarities between Akane & Nene. Like with Sakura, there exists a deal between Akane and their supernatural. Though it does seem like Akane was tricked by using Aoi as bait. Though given that there are 3 clock keepers, could it be possible that Aoi is the one who can stop time? However, given that Aoi grew up with Akane that would be a contradiction. Still no wonder he hates supernaturals, unlike Nene where we know that isn't the case. Still, it is shown that Mirai the one who can speed up time, is the one causing the mess. Curious to see how the 4 of them try to deal with her.

Spoiler: Dark Gathering Chapter 61

A big part of this chapter was dealing with God's uses of skills. So a big reason why Yayoi was fine with losing Graduates in exchange for taking out the God's arms was that it would not allow him to utilize those skills. Getting the legs would logically be next, but it seems his head got blown off. I would assume the fight isn't over quite yet.
