    Hajime no Ippo - The First Step - Ch. 1461 - Assault

    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.

    SPY×FAMILY - Ch. 99

    It takes guts to drop Farewell to Arms in the middle of your zany psychic spy rom com.

    20th Century Boys - Vol. 10 Ch. 108 - Boy With a Face

    One of the best manga chapters ever made.

    The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All - Ch. 76 - Me and “Him”

    “But I’m… just me,” is ripe for a callback. I hope we get something as on the nose as, “But you’re… just you.” This chapter shows how the short length of this manga is used for impact. Several commenters have mentioned how authentic this feels. A lot of school life, mine at least, felt like...

    Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Vol. 13 Ch. 97

    I enjoy the effort this manga has taken to build up the Haniel cosplay. This and other manga that deal with manga and anime culture often struggle to convey the weight a chunkier IP carries in real life. My Dress-Up Darling has several examples like Flower Princess Blaze which make me think of...

    Kabushiki Gaisha Magi Lumiere - Ch. 88 - Kamakura-san's House Party

    The new guy‘s a spice that makes the rest of the company a lot more interesting. Enough with the good influences and noble goals, time for some crime.

    Jujutsu Kaisen - Ch. 236 - Heading South

    …that’s it? Gege spent 300 pages, longer than some entire manga, on the lead up to and entirety of a fight that was foreshadowed from the first volume and we don’t even get to see the actual ending? Gojo’s death is necessary to place the onus of action on the primary protagonists. Hopefully it...

    Kabushiki Gaisha Magi Lumiere - Ch. 82 - Sakuragi Planning

    Magilumiere benefitted enormously from having a little room to breath. It started with great art but a seemingly rote story. Turns out a lot of the first act was a subtle foundation for the second. Now 80 chapters in it‘s spooling up to tell a similar but much richer story. The twintails are a...

    Dosanko Gal wa Namaramenkoi - Vol. 5 Ch. 43

    @Vini I get not liking Ichigo 100%, it's a mixed bag. But I could not agree much less about its first girl being debatable; even the MangaDex description is pretty clear about it I would encourage other people to read or skim it and judge for themselves. The ending's reception was polarized...

    Dosanko Gal wa Namaramenkoi - Vol. 5 Ch. 43

    Anyone who doesn't want the first girl to automatically win should at least skim through Ichigo 100%. It's a little dated but concrete proof that even the character referenced in the title isn't always the winner.
