At least it lands this chapter. I was so afraid it'd still be cliffhanger if he hits or if it breaks or not...

This shit is so ass.

This manga had such huge potential. I wonder how they managed to flop it so hard. I hope we'll see the conclusion of the manga soon, I don't see any reason to drag it any further.

 

[HORRIOR]

Mandatory reminder that the ice boy still exists.

 

[Vigal]

I get the feeling they are dragging this out until the anime airs for some reason.

after 25 long years, its finally done(for this week, before something happens and theres still 10 chaps of this fight)!

 

[GhostOfBiki]

Imagine, the author fancies this a monster of the week series and we only just completed the first arc?

The anime is gonna be a banger tho with better pacing

 

[Arghit]

Is it over yet ?

 

[Werebearguy]

Next chapter, we will be seeing the big beast writhe in pain from a broken core, and it'll cliffhang on "It is over now?" without actually showing it die. Maybe they'll even throw in a few pages of samurai spirits cheering or something I dunno.

Apparently the RAW says that there are only 2 chapters left, so we won't have to suffer.

Ending at ch 129!!

Honestly I like that. Having one big bad is a great way to prevent escalation of stakes in a story.

Wish the fight went quicker but I still think this entire story is going to be amazing in anime format

 

[Shinobu]

This shit is so fucking ass bro. Author gotta be sucking off every single editor in WSJ

It's probably the editor's fault, they didn't want such a successful manga to end in just 100 chapters

ACABA, ACABA PELO AMOR DE DEEEEEEUS

 

[InsertBagelRelatedPunHere]

Kinda hilarious that this entire chapter is one punch. A single punch. And people thought DBZ dragged things out

 

[theshet]

Jesus christ are they milking this, I love this manga but this pacing change for the seemingly final arc is really killing the overall imo. Still love it tho

 

[NotSomeone]

Look, if you're going to dedicate the whole chapter to a single punch, at least go the extra mile.
Make it FEEL powerful, take some pages out of Toshio Sako, George Morikawa, or Muata's books.
Focus on the creature screeching, draw a flash-frame, dust going up in the air, idk man.

This felt underwhelming.

 

[HippoPilot]

I was expecting another fakeout

I tried to think if this will go better in volume format or not; coz, as a volume reader in One Piece, some certain arc was complained as slow and padded out a lot during the weekly release, but for me as a volume reader, I find the arc amazing, but when I tried reading it one chapter at a time and take a break, I can clearly see why people don't like it.

With just 3 chapters available... I find that NOT to be the case still...
Every chapter starts with a little 'prologue' of its own, which was completely redundant with the previous page you just read. Kinda works when you read it chapter by chapter especially since this is bi-weekly release and readers likely forgot where we were but totally not great in volume format. And the pacing really feels slow.

Could be request to pad and stall from editor; but I think partly its author lack of experience writing long series. Issue listed above seemed to be tactfully avoided by more experienced authors. Despite overall story progress similarly slow, their chapter doesn't feel as hollow as Kaiju No.8. I can see similar core structure in ะhis series, but something was missing; Kaiju's chapters feels a lot more hollow. I can't put my finger where, and have to blame it overall on author's lack of experience in this kind of rodeo (he has experience writing series, but none seems to go on for this long)
