Mangaka Koshi Rikudo really wanted you to think that things were turning around with the appearance of King Gertsucoma at the end of vol. 18.  Anyone with half a brain, though, could tell you that the advantage was going to shift right back to Poseidon at the start of this volume.  Which it did, and […]

I was hoping that mangaka Hirohiko Araki would rein himself in after the previous volume felt like it was all over the place in terms of its quality and focus.  That doesn’t happen here as it seems that he’s going to try and go bigger and weirder before this Part is over.  As “Bohemian Ecstatic” […]

Three looters come across a derelict spaceship in the far future and decide to see what’s inside.  They immediately come across a journal from a young student named Kazuma.  He was one member of a class that was going on a field trip until their ship was struck by an outside force and damaged beyond […]

The monster is still out there, but now Asa has more important concerns.  Like attending her friend Yone’s idol audition in front of some industry executives.  Her manager, Noro, may have come off like a two-bit hustler before, but he’s got a plan to ensure “Marilyn Nomajin” makes an impression here to become the next […]

Pale Snake is on the move!  After spending most of vol. 5 in the background, he emerges to seize the baby that Joleyne and Anastasia are protecting out in the swamps.  He’ll have to find them first, however, and even when he does he’ll still have to throw down with the wielder of Stone Ocean […]

The monstrosity that was the fusion of Psychos and Orochi looks to have finally been defeated by Terrible Tornado, and that means the end of the Monster Organization.  Right?  Wrong!  As we’ve seen for quite a while now, that organization has a VERY deep bench of talent.  So even if its leader has been taken […]

The ending of vol. 19 saw Duke Guiscard trapped between a rock and a hard place.  On one side was Arslan and his army of 30,000 soldiers (and around a dozen hero units).  On the other was the army of the madman whose visage is featured on the cover of this volume, Bodin and his […]

Last time I wrote about how this series, and “One-Punch Man,” were both hip-deep in the same kind of storytelling as they tried to build up their conflicts to a climax.  “One-Punch Man” was doing it a lot better than “Thunderbolt,” though there’s some good news to report for this series here.  While the Federation […]

Up until now, Diagoldze has turned everything it was cast on into gold.  Not anymore.  Frieren has cracked its power and is now able to start freeing those who have been imprisoned by it.  Starting with Denke because she’s going to need some back-up now that Macht and Solitar are onto her.  Still, it’s a […]
