I usually prefer swordfights that don't drag on for too long and become indulgent, but I gotta respect the thoughtful swordplay implemented here with no internal monologue handholding for the audience. This kind of effort in disciplined writing and sakuga-esque visuals makes this manga ascend its genre into something more noble and inspiring.

I really think this is the first time I've ever seen a swordfight done like this. So good.

The early chapters of Tokyo ESP had pretty good choreography. It was right in my alley because they incorporated martial arts like wingchun and CQC with swords, guns, and supernatural. The story fell off during the latter half though...

So far the studio/s were announced and it's the reason why I hope it would not be handled badly. There will be studios: Passione and Hayabusa Films. Hayabusa is quite a new studio and so far has been working with Passione for a couple of animes now, and I think they will be handling the normal animated scenes, etc. You probably already know Passione and they can be quite 'mainstream' so I guess it will be up to the overall director how this will be done - so still fingers-crossed as of this moment.
And that promo art of the upcoming anime adaptation just makes me hope it will not be a disappointing one.
I pray the animation can live up to this chapter. With the death blows appearing and fading near instantly. Just wow
yeah, just checked it just now
hoo... boy...
double fingers-crossed
I pray everyday the anime will be this PEAK
If the anime is going to include this, I'm so in. That, and also I want to see two young girls fighting over who gets to fuck their father figure.

This really needs an anime, not a fan servicey light novel anime, but a berserk type anime with at the very least actual martial consultation from a practitioner of each respective sword used

That was some intense sword fight depicted in manga.
I really liked how it was just their skills 'speaking' and not a shounen character narrating everything and also inserting their own insecurities in every swing of the blade.
Just both swordsmen trying to foretell where wounds will land and how to deal the fatal strike without receiving one.

And that promo art of the upcoming anime adaptation just makes me hope it will not be a disappointing one.

Thanks for the new chapter!
I won't get my hope up, NGL. The promo artwork looks generic as fuck. From my experience watching anime for many years, generic promo almost always guarantee a generic animation. Now I only hope the fight scenes should be at least half as good as the manga and I'll be already satisfied.

If this scene gets animated with tasteful slow-mo, little to no music and the only sounds we hear would be their breathing, grunts, swords clashing, clothes/armour/bodies being cut AND the choreography following the manga (maybe add a hema expert there too to double check everything?) then it really could be one of the best fights ever. Fuck the rest of the episodes, pour the budget into finale.
Unfortunately even the anime trailer is full of jarring 3DCG so it probably won't happen.

Call me Martin Scorsese the way the sequence on pages 29-33 got me with my arms raised. Cinema.

Schupple failing to "see" the cut on p29, flinching because of it on p31, causing the trust he planned on p30 to fail on p32, the hesitation cascading into failing to respond to the cut on p33.

This manga has some of the best fight coreographies I've ever had the pleasure to see.

Rip (?) Schupel, you wield your sword for the wrong person....
Not exactly the wrong person, more the wrong reason.

He should have kept going, living for her instead of trying to bring her back, especially since he knew she wouldn't want that.

But as he had a lot of turbulence inside I know why he chose that, he chose wrong, but I don't think he would blame anyone but himself for his choice.
