With the school festival happening, and it's clear that Tsukasa and his group are making plans. Obviously, his goal is to take out the Clock Keepers as they were a group that Hanako wanted to keep around given Nene's lifespan issue. It seems like what Natsuhiko did with the big clock made it so it stops supernaturals if they touch it. With all people being frozen like Nene it allowed Tsukasa to basically kidnap her.
The Clock Keeper's boundary might be one of the more dangerous boundaries, as we see Nene gets reversed as a child. Still, we have Tsukasa going up against Mirai and tbh it's difficult to know how this will go. The power of time is strong, but Tsukasa is someone who has defeated School Mysteries in their own boundary before. For Nene the problem is now how will she get back to her high school self? Though she is helpless until Teru, Akane and Hanako arrive.
To add to this, the school is a mess. With Tiara with her guardian. Mtisuba following his mother. As well as Kou being around. Well, a lot of issue beyond the Clock Keeper's Boundary.

check the post i quoted. Lazy Lord Master's the Sword
storyteller
Veteran
The Lazy Lord Master's the Sword is really good. It's a little light, but the character growth always feels earned.
The one I compared to it, but with more of an edge to it's story and much darker twists is The Stellar Swordmaster. It's got fewer chapters out, but it starts fast and rarely slows down.
This thread only works sometimes for me..
Yeah both of those are A1...
Yeh lazy Lord is good so far

How shyt goes down from here got me 
So what we got now is the Clock Keepers holding a trial and is trying to point out who is the cause of the issue at hand. I guess in some ways it shows the power of their boundary. For Hanako and Teru we know it makes no sense for either to be the cause. Hanako's priority is figuring out how to deal with Nene's lifespan issue. Trying to go against the Clock Keepers goes against him. Meanwhile, for Teru for him, he wants to get rid of supernaturals as an exorcist. But he would never create more problems for himself and put his two siblings in danger. For Nene we know she wouldn't have ill intentions to stop time. As she is a very idealistic person. Though I love how it gets revealed that she was going to confess to Hanako.
How blunt Tsukasa can be both interesting and weird. Though what he mentions helping Sakura. Essentially, she is his Nene. Still, when Tsukasa fights back it just leaves to wonder why he waited. Though this is all a game to him. As he attacks Kako he is left to wonder where their Yorishiro would be. Although interesting enough the Yorishiro was in Mirai. Considering that in this domain Kako can rebuild himself instantly, it makes you wonder why Mirai is his Yorishiro, perhaps.
Now all the pieces are in places for Tsukasa. We know Mitsuba doesn't have a Yorishiro yet, and we know Tsukasa is Hanako's Yorishiro as the last one since he holds the Clock Keeper's Yorishiro. Though Natsuhiko's conversation with Mitsuba was rather dark. Just what is he, and what is this curse? Though it is even evident to this day that Hanako cares for his brother. The issue is: What is Tsukasa now as we know from his past? Though it seems this was part of the Clock Keeper's plan all along. Their goal was to fix the root of the problem because, as we see in the scene with them and Nene the root can make a plant ugly. Replace that root problem and it is beautiful. We can see that the thing inside Tsukasa is the same thing that Akane's family was sacrificing brides to keep them safe. As we know, that areas is connected to the bottom of Tsukasa's house, which is how he came into contact with it to make a wish and save Amane.
Preventing Tsukasa from becoming the thing's entity seemed to have some effects in the present. The first is Nene. Who is now the star of the play. The old Nene would never have been in this position. Thus, we can think of it logically as this is a present she would favor. There was one thing special about the previous present and that was her time with Hanako and Kou. Judging the scene with Tsuchigomori at the end, it seems clear that in this present Amane's future didn't change. Thus, he became a teacher at the school for a time and never became Hanako. As we see in Teru's conversation with Akane, that some people retain their old memories temporary. At least what will Nene and Teru go from here?

Really solid first two chapters. I am curious how Rabi's parents got together. It feels like there is no love from the father. Plus given how he hates beasts and how she loved them. Also, just who is Alfur. It seems there was an agreement while Oki was alive that the area where Rabi loved would be safe.
What Alfur did to Rabi feels more akin to her showing what it is like to be a beast perhaps? For now, it seems Rabi will be looking for the 8 friends that her mother mentioned maybe?
As we know, both Nene and Teru are fully against with what the Clock Keepers did. Though Akane is in a rough position because there is no reason for him to want this outcome. After all, in this timeline we have Teru and Aoi being engaged by their families. What it leads to is that the Minamoto and Akane clan still have relations from when they did the offerings. More than likely, this holds the clue to what the Clock Keepers changed because the 7 School Mysteries don't exist. Though for Teru a few things this time around have him conflicted. He actually has a family. First, his mom is alive, and his dad is actually around. He knows the burden that was placed on Ko after their mother died. Of course, a great point is that the Clock Keepers may be still around, just not as the school mysteries. So this good life might get replaced with a bad one. Of course, for Akane it isn't easy for him because he knows that Kako could remove him and replace him with ease.
Now the interesting part with Nene this world has its pros and cons. Being in a lead role is something that felt like a cruel joke for Nene in the other world. On the downside, she never meets Hanako and, at least in terms of romance, her desperation with it stopped. While here that never ended and well, Nene in some ways, is an even bigger fool. Given how she feels for Hanako it only feels right for her to turn the world back to how it is. We do get a confirmation that in this timeline Amane did work with Tsuchigomori. Though this happened in the past as when Nene visits the old lab room it is now a storage room. The cruel part for Nene is wondering is this what Amane wanted? On the one hand, he got his wish, but we know how much he loves his brother. More than likely, what changed his future was to bring back Tsukasa. This puts Nene is a tough spot, but Teru's advice is on point. We can't know what Amane truly wanted. Hell he had the wish at the festival that he wanted to see Nene again.
Another cruel factor in this new world is that Ko and Sousuke are friends and Sousuke is alive. Though they end up investigating a rumor that some classmates followed a ritual where Tsukasa would tell you what you want if you play with them. That in itself would put the two in danger. While Ko seems a bit stronger than he was in the other timeline, he still needed Teru's help. Still, this is a big discovery for Teru and Akane because the name of Tsukasa reminds them of Tsukasa Yugi. Though I doubt this is Amane's brother, but rather what was inside Tsukasa, which is what the Clock Keepers deemed as a threat.
Much like when Nene and Ko visited the Red House in the previous timeline, that is where the answers they seek will most likely be located. That is where the Yugi brothers lived and where the thing granted wishes for sacrifices was located originally. The most curious thing is that Ko when setting up the table did so for only 3 people. Teru, Tiara and himself. More than implying for him memories from the old timeline are coming in. The same for Sousuke, so these coming back as they venture into the Red House themselves is intriguing.

Man, this series is still killing it 
. Easily the best supernatural mystery manga running right now
. Easily the best supernatural mystery manga running right nowAs we see both Ko and Sousuke visiting the Red House, they are two that are in the process of remembering who they were. For Ko, that is remembering that his family was just him, Teru and Tiara. While for Sousuke, remembering he was a supernatural. It is interesting to note that because Ko's mother still being alive made it so he would have hung out with Sousuke. Which would prevent him from dying. Though that is not the reality. Though they get pulled in by someone who looks like Amane Yugi. So there is a sense of trouble looming.
As Nene, Teru, Aoi and Akane venture into the Red House, it is very much a thing for Nene to get lost already. Though this is because Ko pulled her away. They end up seeing Amane Yugi and, of course, both of them are excited. Still, the question is Amane happy seems to holding something dark within him. It gives the sense that is both Amane and not Amane, luckily Ko was able to save her. Though it seems like Amane, Ko was also hold victim of the Red House as he must have died in the previous chapter. It's weird because on one hand, you can feel him telling Nene that Amane wasn't happy was something Ko would say. But he was guiding Nene to her death, so I think the Red House was using Ko to lure Nene. The basic idea the people have their own free will, but can't go against the Red House. As soon as it senses that, it forces them against their will. The interesting part is that in the previous world, that wasn't the case with Tsukasa.
Unfortunately for Ko, he was being forced to lead Nene to her death if it wasn't for Teru. God talk about a punch to the gut for Teru. Realizing that his brother died thanks to this house. I am not sure how this will affect his mental going forward because he was confident in the previous world Ko could handle himself. I guess one could assume that the Red House is a much bigger threat this time around. Though it is clear in Akane's mind whatever the Clock Keepers did not fix the root of the problem. Which is an assumption that they made. He gives Nene the tools to flee and promises to meet up with her at the Big Clock Tower. However, more than likely those 3 won't be alive to meet up with her.
You can only imagine how Nene's mental is right now. Basically, this world just keeps getting worse and worse. At this point, what is there for her to push forward? She meets with Tsuchigomori who sees her outside. More than likely, he is still a supernatural just not a school mystery. The way he cheers Nene is great because it is from his connection to Amane whom was a teacher at the school. It is obvious by now that he is no longer alive as a human. Still, the big thing was as a teacher, Amane loved his students and was full of life. Just that parlor trick he taught to Tsuchigomori was proof of that. We see in the other world that despite Nene's looming death, he was always looking out for her. Trying to cheer her up or how to resolve her looming death. For Nene at the end of the day, Hanako will always be Hanako. Still the fate of becoming School Mystery #7 vs being a victim of the Red House. It is easy to understand which fate would have made Amane happier. This at least gives her the courage to move forward and do what is needed to be done.

For Inori it's time for the Chibu Block Tournament. Obviously, for her, this is a big accomplishment. The big deal for most kids here is that the top 5 qualifies for the All-Japan Tournament. Fun how Inori resorts to acting like her coach. The big thing is that Hikaru isn't here. More than likely an idea came to Hikaru after she talked to Inori, and it is unfortunate she didn't come to the Block Tournament. Though meeting the Designated Skaters was interesting. It is a spot where Inori hopes to be one day. You got two junior skaters and one top skater. Given Inori's question, Iruka gave quite a harsh first impression. Still as Inori meets Riina for the first time who competed in the Olympics. Her big advice to Inori is winning the Gold Medal in the All Japan Championship. Though her following advice is one that really is good because you don't get to that level overnight. Even more so what novices go through is to make sure they are ready for what comes as they climb to junior and senior levels. Essentially, doing well now will put you in a position to well later on.
I do like how the manga puts you in the position of Koichi and Yo in the manner that they don't know much about the sport. Mamoru provides a really solid explanation. Essentially, given the skater's skills, their program is meant to get the maximum number of points they are likely to do well. I really like how it demonstrates that there is a risk reward system when designing the programs. For Rinna who went first in the competition, she pulled off a triple at the start. Which is a tough move for her. The idea of saving your toughest jobs at the beginning because it gives you the most confidence that you can pull it off. As skaters will get tired towards the end of their program.
Meanwhile, with Manaka she didn't go for her best job immediately. The idea of that is you get a 10% boost if you land the moves at the end of your program. Of course, this is risky because you are more tired. Plus what if you aren't executing your easy stuff then that really puts the pressure on. For Manaka she was able to find that confidence and get in first place after her performance. Considering how important getting in the top 5 in this Block Tournament is, taking these risks could be the difference. Of course, if you miss you regret not going for something safer.
The one that left the biggest impression in this volume is Yuna Yagi. Who is the skater that Shinichiro has coached the longest, even more than his son. So in terms of coaching it is something that has resemblance to Tsukasa coaching Inori. Though the one difference then Inori it seems he really pushed her to be Shinichiro's student as she was inspired by watching him compete. With Riina as her senpai they would be competing and supporting each other given their age difference. While Riina went off to the Olympics, the arrival of Hikaru was tough on Yuna. It is one thing to fail at your goal, but it is another thing to have someone new come up and past you. The gap between her and Hikaru only grew larger. So in her performance she sought out to do a triple lutz into a triple loop jump. It is the kind of the thing very few skaters in general would do. But given that Hikaru did that, she wanted to catch up to her.
It does seem that Yuna holds it against Inori that she doesn't know the experience of being past. After all, she made the scene after Hikaru came along. While that is unfair to Inori, it is understandable the frustration that Yuna feels. Though much like Riina, we can see Hikaru excited to see Yuna land a triple lutz into double axel. Kind of shows that Hikaru views Yuna as a friend. Hopefully, Yuna looks at it like a friendly rivalry. Still, I love how Shinichiro isn't upset that Yuna went off the plan. After all, he competed and he understands the various emotions. In fact, he is supporting her be saying "think of what we can do going forward." After all, he believes Yuna knows the importance of communication between skater and coach.
Next up is Inori and excited to see what she does next.

Ichi the Witch - Chapter 21: Well, the witches don't seem too happy with the new prophecy. Though the main draw of this chapter was learning that Desscaras had a younger brother named Libro. In fact, Ichi reminds her of him. So while it is true, Ichi lives each day like it could be his last. The idea of family might be a foreign concept to Ichi.
Kagurabachi - Chapter 67: The big difference between Chihiro and Samura's daughter is the fact Chihiro was thrusted in a world of killing. Despite being the same age, they live in different worlds. Simply put, the idea of killing is scary. It is normal to be afraid. Of course, there is the desire to know her father, but this life is not meant for her, and I am not surprised she has no hesitation of wanting her old life security back.
Blue Box - Chapter 183: Well, simply put, Natsu is moving on to the Winter Cup. Very heart-warming conversation between her and Yumeka. Instead of thinking of regrets better to look at the positives.
The Elusive Samurai - Chapter 190: This chapters was a big deal when focusing on Takauji, Tadayoshi and Moronao. Simply we had brains vs military. Of course, Moronao was able to win over Takauji and now Tadayoshi's power is losing steam it seems. It is obvious that Tadayoshi would never overthrow his brother. Though Takauji's mental has been bizarre in this series, so no surprise it was the one thing Moronao capitalized on. Though I still think his loyalty to Takauji is true.
Embers - Chapter 2: Another pretty solid chapter. Excited to see more.
Centuria - Chapter 41: It was near to learn about Elstri. So she was bound to die young, but the King defied her fate. I get the feeling the one that can change fate aren't just the gifted but a selected few. Perhaps the King and Julian are the few that can do so. Still, Diana's mom's lineage is an interesting perspective because why is Diana the child of the prophecy. Though it is sad that on Diana's birthday that the attack will be happening.

Hero Organization:
I get the feeling that Singh is out to make the crowd pin the blame more so on the Gun Dogs. It would make much more sense than going after Leo like he did with his father. Leo, as others have said, is a prodigy, and you feel he has investment in Leo. With the introduction of the Gun Dogs in the recent chapters, it would make sense for him to make them out to be more criminal than they actually are. Instead of just showing a message to the Hero Organization, it could be sensed as an act of violence against the people.
Though curious how the conversation between Leo and Captain Bull goes. Man the art in this series really delivers
Monochrome Days: Man, this is turning out to be a great series alongside Hero's Organization for Saturday Jump.
When the anime gets to this point in S3 The first match where we had NutMeg vs Lucas. One thing this match showed how Lucas uses the best of 3 rulesets. Learn about your opponent more than they can learn about. That way you can have a better chance at steam rolling then in game 2. Thus, now that you have learned more about them in game 1 then they did in game 2. I think the big key in this matchup is how well Lucas can adapt. A very fundamental mindset also has a fundamental mindset to go against.
The opposite of something fundamental is Towa's game style. As we see in both United Rounds and SLF is that Towa can be immensely cruel. Though the biggest thing is how evil she can be. Unlike Natsume who tried to role-play as a villain, Towa is truly cynical. The biggest thing at first is where she threatens NPC's. Just Lucas reacting to that was a pain, but of course, it's a weakness of the character as she has to set the bombs. Though truly how cynical Towa is that she not only reset the bombs for round 3, but she also set them up to create maximum damage. As Sunraku mentions, this game fits her perfectly because it rewards her evil mindset. Though the fact she can reset her gauge to bring up an insane number of finishers is where it was GG for Lucas.
I like how in an ideal world they would want to get more time for Kei, but we know in the heat of the match that won't happen. Perhaps that is where Sunraku can shine.

Hero Organization:
I get the feeling that Singh is out to make the crowd pin the blame more so on the Gun Dogs. It would make much more sense than going after Leo like he did with his father. Leo, as others have said, is a prodigy, and you feel he has investment in Leo. With the introduction of the Gun Dogs in the recent chapters, it would make sense for him to make them out to be more criminal than they actually are. Instead of just showing a message to the Hero Organization, it could be sensed as an act of violence against the people.

- The first thing is how the role of protagonist is. A story's perspective can change so much depending on who is in this role. Going from the Angel to Rival was great as the Angel herself has a strong foundation. But the rival is more empathic and understanding her story more can draw the audience together. Thus creating 2 strong characters instead of just one.
- The other this manga really shows well is the power of a spread. A great spread when used properly can speak volumes. Though interesting how one is used to reading comes in the spread. Reading from right to left and up to down. This needs to be done in the spread without panels to guide the artist. For mangas, this is the best time the term one picture can illustrate 1000 words.
- Also really like how it illustrates for manga series it is. a marathon and not a spread. How planning accordingly is important. The author has already implemented this by changing the release schedule to Bi-weekly, but still offering illustrations on the off weeks to still give it a weekly fill.
- The two pictures below show how well the mangaka does at giving us a glance at what the manga Fudo and Wakaba are drawing, but also how they and others react to it.

Reading through Gachiakuta Volume 4. More of a set-up volume. Interesting bits from the idea of Rudo's power coming from things that people perceive as trash and then breaking is them filling their purpose. It's like a solider on his last legs making a difference for their country.
Remlin is an interesting character that, much like Rudo, is now on her own. Though her instrument can basically cast protection on what she draws. I am curious what is the difference when tattoos versus when she just brushes on them. Looks like we are getting back on track starting next volume.
