Well, it looks like Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call It Quits has ended this week.

I was enjoying this manga. It was a slow paced, slice of life story about the hero of the world, a teenage girl, and this "evil" Demon Lord deciding to just stop fighting each other and try to live a normal life.

Parts of their past come back from time to time to interfere with their normal life, but it's overall a pretty chill series.

I was looking forward to where they would take it, but it ended with a rushed story arc about turning the Demon Lord back into a human. I wish it had more time to bake, because this was a fun, chill manga.

So, Gonron Egg has ended this week.

Overall, I enjoyed the post-apocalyptic story. It was set in a world where creatures called Drakarchs have decimated and enslaved humanity. Gonron finds the egg of the former King of the Drakarchs, who opposed the subjugation of humans. He spends the entire series growing stronger alongside the rightful King in their quest to save humanity and overthrow the current ruler.

But the series just kind of ended mid story after a training time skip.

It answered a lot of questions, but it left it wide open. No formal closure for our characters.

I'm glad it did that, though, instead of forcing a ham-fisted ending.

A new series dropped from Shonen Jump entitled "Kinato's Magic."

The first chapter introduces us to Kinato, a young man who is a magic user in a fantasy world. His magic is purely about rearranging mana and has been used by him and his family to for healing or physical therapy purposes. And it works well.

Throughout the first chapter, this shy man who doesn't believe in himself or his powers are worth anything realizes that he is.

A fantasy world story based around a character with low self esteem suddenly realizing that he is not just capable, but actually incredibly useful? I can get behind that.

Will check out Chapter 2.

Me after reading this week's chapter of Witch Watch.

#Manga #WitchWatch #ウィッチウォッチ #MangaSpoilers #ShonenJump

I finished the last chapter of Wild Strawberry.

I'm glad it was over.

The manga started strong. Fascinating concept of these evil plants destroying the world, consuming / controlling people. And the sibling connection was cute, unique, fascinating.

It went into a training arc and then into a new arc about defeating the big bad VERY quickly. It just...felt rushed.

That said, the art - it's fantastic. Love it.

Story...I had such high hopes. And the reveal at the end was...uhm, confusing and undid the entire sacrifice that happened.

Anyway, disappointing ending.

And with that...the Kaiju No. 8 manga has ended.

The final arc was huge, and the pacing slow and methodical. It built up to the last few chapters where Kafka was going to finally defeat Number 9. And it was so satisfying.

Also, to find out how Kafka survived. Well done.

Yes, the final chapter had a "time jump" of a few months while Kafka was in a coma, but it worked IMO.

The series shifted a bit to be more action heavy from its roots of an older guy getting a shot after accidentally gaining powers. But still. Overall, I enjoyed it. I feel it concluded well while showing that they did win, the world is better, but there are still monsters in the world.

Good bye, Kaiju No. 8.

Thank you.
