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 […]

The Feng-Shui duel between F.F. and Drake’s Dream wraps up in the opening chapters of this volume, and not a moment too soon.  This allows the narrative to move on to weirder fights that actually promise to drive the story forward.  Such as an infection that starts sweeping through the Disciplinary Wing and turning everyone […]

The “Tokyo Blade” 2.5D Stage Play is still in full swing, and now it’s time for Aqua and Kana’s big moments.  Well, “big” in theory as Kana’s current mindset has her pulling back to support her co-stars so they can shine brighter than her.  Meanwhile, Aqua, for all of his technical skill, still doesn’t actually […]

Up to this point, nothing has stopped Kuroko Koumori when she enters the fray.  This time, however, she’s up against a goth-loli giant/mini partnership with enough armaments (and arms) to level the mountainside they’re fighting on.  Will this be the one time in the series so far where everyone’s favorite lesbian serial killer killer and […]
