    Oshibana! - Ch. 42

    The core conceit of this manga is the most dumbass shit in the world, but it's being treated like it's this serious, realistic issue. How the hell no one at any point goes "but she's not an idol, she's under no obligation to act like one, or hold to any of the insane rules idols have to follow...

    Drama Queen - Ch. 21 - That's Messed Up pt. 6

    I don't think the story is all that convoluted, the only mysterious element is Lily and his motivations. Is he lying about his twin, why is he so loyal to Seiran as to start murdering indiscriminately, why is he so nonchalant about Seiran killing aliens? As an aside, I don't think Lily is dead...

    Iken Senki Völundio - Vol. 9 Ch. 66.3 - Legend (End)

    It's not tiny, it's just far away!

    Shuumatsu no Valkyrie Ibun - Ryo Fu Housen Hishouden - Ch. 33 - A Man’s Pride

    Is that a "this is Sparta" joke? What year is this, 2006?

    Meguru Mirai - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - Over and Over

    Crackpot theory: The killer is several versions of their son from different parallel timelines. Somehow, the son inherited an even more aggressive/powerful/uncontrollable version of the time travel disease, to the point where it's impossible for him to live anything resembling a normal life. So...

    Hajime no Ippo - Ch. 1492 - Miscalculation

    By the time Ippo gets back in the ring to face Ricardo, the dude will have had a bout with the entire rest of the cast and be pushed up to the ring in a wheelchair.

    Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! - Vol. 6 Ch. 67 - A Summer Beach Trip!! (Swimsuit Arc)

    Oh god, the back of it is even worse than the front. It's just a string.

    Meguru Mirai - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Motive

    It's definitely taking its time giving the reader something to figure out. That being said, we're only about a quarter of the way through (chapter 12 of 40), so pacing-wise this is the point where the mystery and the central players are established, which seems to be true, even if we don't know...

    Tsuruko Returns the Favor - Ch. 39 - FINAL FAVOR GOODBYE, PRINCE!

    This is definitely an ending to something that meets all the criteria required to be called a manga. I forget, but did Tsuruko ever hear about the actual reason Nekokado went to the cafe in the first place? I vaguely remember that his sister mentored Tsuruko, but did she ever actually make that...

    R15+ ja Dame desu ka? - Vol. 6 Ch. 47 - The Last Time

    Even knowing how this ends, I will never leave the senpai train. Full steam ahead!

    Chainsaw Man - Ch. 201 - Terror Looks Like This!

    My man, part 2 is just shoddily written. Denji in part 1 had character, an arc, and identifiable motivations. He made connections with his roommates, he played off them, his weirder sides contrasted against Aki, he found something like a true friend in Power, he had a toxic dependency on Makima...

    Chainsaw Man - Ch. 201 - Terror Looks Like This!

    Man, is Denji even a character anymore? I'm seriously asking, because for a while now his most identifiable trait seems to be "does whatever everyone else tells him to". This entire second part has him just stumbling through what is laughably called a plot, seemingly without understanding or...

    Mousou Sensei - Vol. 3 Ch. 42 - Secret Relationship

    I don't think a kimono that deep-cut is appropriate for a cultural festival

    Shuumatsu no Valkyrie - Ch. 102 - The Soul’s Salvation

    Probably for drama and pacing. Going with relevant organs creates a ticking clock/shot limit element instead of wasting panel time on Simo weaponizing his gall bladder, tonsils, appendix, adenoids, spleen, floating ribs, and who knows what other trash body parts before getting to the good stuff...

    Shiori Experience: My Plain Self and an Odd Old Man - Vol. 17 Ch. 80 - Rebuild

    One reason I'd love to see this get an anime, even though I usually don't watch anime, is that I'd love to hear what exactly their music is supposed to sound like. Because it is as you said, they're all over the damn place, to the point where you can't exactly point at a real life band and go...

    Oshibana! - Ch. 40

    At this point I want this manga to roll in its own filth like a pig. It's beyond salvaging, so screw it. The story is already fucked beyond belief, and the characters are more or less cartoon caricatures. Fuck it, let's ball. Let Oota and the weird chick start dating, let the side couple break...

    Darwin's Game - Vol. 30 Ch. 121

    I grew to like this series a lot more than I would have expected, somehow the core cast just felt real enough to get invested for me. I also really enjoyed how the core romance developed, the relationships between the Sunset Ravens, and while this ending leaves a lot of characters dead who...

    Tsuruko Returns the Favor - Ch. 38 - STUDENT AND TEACHER

    The writing behind this is almost fascinating in how fucking atrocious it is. It had all the right components and characters, it just needed to put them in the correct order and framework to make it all click.Yet here we are, with the transparent reveal that the only way this manga managed to...

    Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! - Vol. 5 Ch. 63 - Komaro's First Job

    I feel like poor bulging nipple guy doesn't deserve to be lumped in with these weirdos, just because his nipples are bulging

    Chainsaw Man - Ch. 199 - Enjoy Your Food

    Imo part 2's greatest failure is the lack of a cast. It's a weird complaint maybe, but other than Asa and Denji, is there a single, likeable supporting or major character? Even Nayuta had barely any screen time, and was then cheaply disposed of for shock value, which seems to be the fate of...
