The story took an odd turn. I think people are kinda waiting to see how it plays out now.
I think it has more to do with staff's recent embedded comments and forums snafu. People like me, who read on shonen jump or other sources, then come for the discussion, are left in a weird position if we aren't paying MD members. I first came by ~3 hours ago, and couldn't comment or make a thread because I'm a free user.

I feel like the author is just trying to cram Turbo Granny's powers back into Okarun somehow. Which is the latest in a string of odd decisions. I actually really liked him losing her powers, as I thought it was a good opportunity for him to expand what he's capable of under his own power.

Maybe it's like how everyone that got a hold of his balls showed different powers, maybe Takakura awakened some other power, during all the time he was possessed, especially when he started using spiral powers to travel as electricity?

Yep. This update is destroying community engagement and that's going to bite them in the ass. But don't worry! They will just blame us or bots and use it as an excuse to go full corpa :haa:

Kinda yeah. They claim it's a bug they're ironing out, but if there was a bug, why not roll the update back while it's fixed? Seems more likely the paid members-only schtick was always gonna happen. Between this and mangaplus titles sometimes not syncing for days, reddit seems like a better option nowaydays.

same, if I'm not lazy to find a new place to read at and add again all of what I'm reading, I'd ditch MD.

As for the manga, this whole thing about enemies hiding in plain sight in every arc is just becoming stale af. Why would you insist on making the story so formulaic? Apart from the Vlad reveal, everything for the last god knows how many months has been the same: go to a location -> get attacked by random animals and shit -> fight them in pairs.

Getting sick of the character design of dudes in Speedos. This is like, what, the third time?

On the other hand, we need to see more chicks in Speedos in Dandadan to balance it out. 😏

This new update to the comment system is obnoxious, but I have yet to "create" a new chapter forum thread.

Is that true? Us free plebs can't make new chapter forum threads anymore?

Is so that's 100x annoying than what I originally thought.

The fights are getting samey and we still havent seen Kinta's haircut. I think the quality hasn't objectively detoriated but after the prolonged amnesia arc and the resulting relationship reset bullshit, everyone's tolerance for the usual bs has gone down.

I assume we have to go through the forums directly to join discussion?

More Goons huh? The inevitable DDD fighting game ought to have a large roster at least.

having every scrap of plot advancement be paired with a fight is fine most of the time but it's also a bit of a pace killer when it's back-to-back-to-back like it's been the last year

I have the craziest theory. Hear me out:

That old man has the heart of a water flea.

I know. Ridiculous. I have no evidence for it, thought. But something is telling me this is true.

Wait so the only reason we can discuss here is because I initiated the forum thread as a paying supporter?

Holy shit that's an inane design. Makes me want to stop being a paying supporter.

Yeah honestly for the longest time I've never liked how unaware the gang is. They've been attacked multiple times by now. you would think they would start being more aware of their surroundings but they never do.
