I didn't think Red Hood could speedrun through the plot faster, but it did. Kinda sucks cause all of this is cool conceptually, but the characters and world never got a chance to develop into anything.

I mean red hood did this to itself by bungling the opening and being pretty uninteresting when doing the more standard shonen stuff. it's a shame because it has the most interesting/imaginative concept of any of the cancelled series I can think of, plus the art is good hope the author gets another shot because red hood has a lot of potential

I felt it got much better after the opening chapters. I also quite like the artstyle, so I am interested in what comes next from them.

Even with the cultural barrier the new chapter of Witch Watch was good as always. The author’s real good at unexpected swerves for comedic and more serious touching moments.

New Horizons seems to be just like any other language book I had going through the school  The layout, the design, the weird stilted dialogue, just substitute the art for real life pictures.

I was pretty much thinking of the art style tbh, it seems like it’d be even funnier if I grew up with those crappy drawings, but saying there was a cultural barrier was probably an exaggeration regardless.

I wasn't one for the Red Hood doomsaying but some of the reveals in this chapter make a lot more sense if they were intended for like, chapter 100. In particular, Velou's ability to gently caress with one's connection to fate. He's only been with Grimm a short time--that makes him seem way more loving radioactive than I imagine he was supposed to be! Plus, we just have other characters telling us how Grimm is supposed to be on the ball at this point. We've barely met her.

Is Red Hood gone for sure or is this just speculation based on the insane exposition dumps the past 2 chapters so it can wrap up by chapter 20 and get 2 volumes out?

the latter unless i missed something last week i figured it could just be an Undead Unluck style scope expansion but this does seem to lean closer to hasty wrap up

Yeah, the book could be seen as an Undead/Unluck expansion of the setting but revealing that Velou is Pinocchio seems like it is giving away endgame story.

i kept up with sakamoto for the first few chapters and drifted away from it because gag manga usually don't do a whole lot for me, at what point did it start kicking a fresh rear end in every chapter i'm especially enjoying the disparate art styles between characters, it almost gives me yuasa vibes

Seriously Shin's fight with the invisible guy and Sakamoto's fight on the train kicks a ton of rear end.

Elusive Samurai: Matsui is really good at portraying how monstrous people can be (see: Neuro), and Takauji grows more terrifying each time. Knowing the foregone conclusion of history has me really wondering how the story's gonna go, precisely because it's set in stone and I want to see how Matsui navigates around that. Mashle: I don't really care about the villains (as usual) but Mash has been peak Mash for the past few chapters, so it's a lot of fun right now. Mash being sassy to the villain is great, too. Red Hood: I forgot to read it again. Robocco: I forgot to read it again. I will, though. Sakamoto: drat, poor deer head just can't catch a break, huh. Gags are good (hangover cure), and I'm interested in seeing what the last two killers are gonna do. Also seconding that the Lab arc was where I went from "Sakamoto is sorta fun" to "Wow holy poo poo Sakamoto rules"; it's a really good arc.

Elusive Samurai: These chapters just don't do it to me, because I can never remember who's who. Roboco: Good poo poo. I love Gorilla and Motsuo chapters. Mashle: Mashle was in a rut, but has completely redeemed itself to me. "This magic labyrint sucks, let's kick the poo poo out of the other team instead." said the heroes. Also loving the high speed crawling call back to last chapter. Neru: I have no idea what's even happening anymore.  Which one of the wavy bastards was Neru again? I think the one with the newly bleeding ear, but who's attacking who? Undead: Cool Magu chan: donuts? Is that a gag in this slice of life manga? Witch Watch: Lol at those text conversations between Wolf and Morihito. This chapter was great. Even without knowing about new horizon, the standardness of those conversations got the point across perfectly. Sakamoto was good as well. There's a lot going on right now and the story is getting interesting. Oxxidation posted:i kept up with sakamoto for the first few chapters and drifted away from it because gag manga usually don't do a whole lot for me, at what point did it start kicking a fresh rear end in every chapter I almost dropped Sakamoto as well. I'll second the opinions of the others. I really liked the airsoft tournament, but it's been non stop getting better ever since. These days I either read Sakamoto or Mashle first.

I dunno why people say the opening is what hosed red hood since personally, I really liked them, but also looking at the WSJ rankings the series was doing pretty well right up until the entrance exam, which loving tanked it immediately from midrange through the floor.

Red Hood’s art kind of reminds me of Dagashi Kashi but less horny. I look forward to seeing more from the artist, whether that’s Red Hood somehow not ending or another series.

It's not bad but the 1-2 of a slow opening and the entrance exam also wasting precious time killed it dead. Its got interesting, though sometimes hard to follow, art and the weird fairy tale setting is interesting and the overarching meta plot was teased well. I can totally believe it living on those merits until it became clear the manga cant really deliver what it promises in a timely or impactful enough manner.

I feel like it really needed to do another werewolf hunt as they traveled to take the entrance exam, as a better look at what to expect from those now that Velou could no longer count on his own familiarity with an area and it's people. Idk how effective it would have been but this exam just felt way too early.

aghhh, the world is infinitely cruel. the finale of witchcraft works has gone untranslated for years, with random poorly done chapters from random groups popping up every once in a while. now there seems to be two different groups working on it, and they are both terrible. one even makes blatant mistakes with the translation, with half the lines obviously incorrect.

I liked the entrance exam quite a but for the creative tactics, and I thought it was overall pretty exciting. It's wild to think about where the series will go from here if it's NOT canceled, though.

My Japanese teacher in high school, instead of using the Yookoso textbooks, used textbooks she wrote by hand. Hundreds of pages printed out and then put into binders. Due to her making them, they were generally devoid of anything but very simple images. Amazing teacher, though I was in a weird situation when I tried to enroll in Japanese courses in college due to lacking some kanji they tested for. So I only placed into second semester Japanese, which was just trivially easy (as was the semester following it, after which I internally transferred to be a finance major and had no more room in my schedule for electives).

Red Hood has gone beyond ordinary metatext commentary. Was this always the intended endgame? Is the author a fan of Cabin in the Woods? I miss the crab tank.
