It may be because I'm Baki Biased, but I'd much rather have 10 Baki chapters than 10 Yujiro Chapters. Look at this, guy hijacks a plane cuz a security guy says he can't and he says "Bet!"
I'd say this makes me worried he's slowly turning into his dad, but to be fair, this is the guy who kidnapped a president, which had a whole purpose of its own. He acts crazy, but with a reason.
More Baki please, I know this it the Jack Arc, but I've been Baki-Starved.

He isn't wrong. The chapters have been lackluster. I'm not even fully reading the pages just looking over and seeing a few key words.
Gee, thanks, really glad to hear that's the kind of reading the work we put in is getting.

I don't think it's about right or wrong. Plenty of people like Rahen, plenty don't. If someone doesn't like it, my only question is why keep reading so actively? I hardly see anyone letting chapters pile up to read all at once. Keeping up to date with something you know you don't really like just seems banally masochistic, so I can't understand it.

It's not a critique of your work. I think we can all agree that your group is doing a stellar job with the translation, redrawing, typesetting, even the quality of the images themselves (denoising etc.). It's just people responding to the quality of the manga, and as the latest entry in one of the longest running manga series ever (I think 7th longest) it's going to get a lot of attention whether that's good or bad

"If someone doesn't like it, my only question is why keep reading so actively", I speak for myself but I thinks it applies to a lot of people, Im a fan of the franchise and take this seriously enough to not simply drop it because I dont like a particular arc. Besides, how you can criticize something in good faith without reading it in the first place?

A lot of what people are doing isn't criticism, it's just bland statements of their dislike. My other suggestion rather than dropping it is to put it on hold and let chapters pile up either until you feel like revisiting or hear about a development that interests you.

It's not so much that I took it as a critique of the work, but more that it just feels a bit sour to hear someone admit they aren't even really reading properly when I already more often than not feel like that's how a majority of the fanbase read the manga. We're putting the absolute most we can into it only for a lot of people to skim through it, paying no real mind to the script that's been very finely tuned and cared for by our translator for the series.

Honestly after binge reading all the previous entries this is about on par how slow things have always been (aside from the release schedule).
Not that reading these takes that much effort or time when they drop, nor do I have anything better to do :nyoron:

Baki is bored and jack has been getting stronger and calmer think it might happen before the year ends as long as the story goes back on track after this
