So, little fun facts about AKs. A lot of the feature of all the flavors of AKs, up to the modern stuff, remain unchanged since the AK-47. Everything using more or less the same efficient method of operation is a feature.
One, the safety selector. On real fully automatic AKs, the gun is safe...
Does anyone else remember what happened to the last quirky teacher in a SJ manga with overwhelming abilities, far outstripping their peers, who was supervising a student that had fallen into a power they couldn’t control?
He won, right?
Up to this point the actual games, if not the players, have looked more realistic than in most manga. People treated the card game like a card game. With this tonal shift into Epic Life Changing Stakes, I wish Hajime could nonchalantly fire off a Gutshot.
Well, lubricants only carry removed steel (and for some relatively modern stones spent abrasive) off of the stone’s face. Without enough water or oil, retained metal fragments in the face of the stone clog up the abrasive on the stone’s face, but not entirely, and what’s showing will still...
That was a very interesting series. Prohibition era spirits and classic bartending are a relatively niche subject compared to the breadth of cuisine in most food manga, kind of nice to see that degree of specificity. Bummer it ran so short, but it hit a lot of highlights. I am kind of glad we...
What a throwback. Other than the cover this could have run next to Trigun, Claymore, or Hellsing.
I don’t know if we need more edgy late 90s stuff like this. But it’s nostalgic. I’d be interested to know what modern readers, who might be less nostalgic, think.
I shotgunned this when I saw it in the update feed. Thank you for the scan. If anyone enjoys this, I apologize in advance.
I am impressed at how bad this is. By the fourth chapter I was reading it the same way I watch a car wreck. I can’t think of anything in the writing with redeeming value...
It’s mostly a fourth reason: the author and artist wanted to spend half a chapter drawing and explaining how a katana is made.
I’m not really interested in or buying rationalizations on why anything happens in this manga. Let’s not pretend the MC, or any other character or plot development, is...
It’s interesting to see people reframe real engineering in the context of settings which lack that technology, from Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court on up to modern isekai.
Obviously the author did their research, the production of the katana is as best I know factually accurate, but…...
Page 6 is like seeing someone in 80s parachute pants downtown ordering a hotdog.
Yes, Ippo’s art style is dated. Yes, releases are sporadic to put it kindly. Yes, it occasionally still goes very hard.
