I hated harem manga when I was in my edgy teens but now I'm in my lazy late 20s and I don't hate harem manga anymore.

The mangaka behind Angel Legend and Claymore returns with a new series!

Soukyuu no Ariadne

The art's a lot different from what it used to be like, I think, though that might be cause I never read Claymore.

Apparently it was released as a one-shot before, and is now getting a proper series.

I've been spoiled by Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa where the MC hooks up with the main girl halfway through the run, so while I know that We Never Learn won't follow suit a part of me still wants it to.

Truthism was a series where the MC was already in love with a girl from the beginning, so nobody else ever had a chance.

Art looks pretty much the same, except a bit cleaner and the backgrounds are a lot more detailed? Going to read this. I liked Claymore.

I'm mainly coming off from Angel Densetsu and the few early chapters of Claymore that I read.

Like, this is from the last chapter of Angel Densetsu. There's a big gap between the eyes, barely any nose, eyes are generally a lot sharper, narrower, and smaller.



In the first chapter of Claymore it's still pretty different in my opinion.



Whereas the new MC looks a lot more shounen-ish, and the artstyle such seems a lot more colorful, detailed, and cleaner. Like, I was unsure about who it was until I saw the old man's face. Also, the noses are simpler now, generally just a line or a triangle.



Granted, setting and genre play a large part in the artstyle shift.

Yeah it's always dope to see art styles evolve.

Ah! My Goddess probably has some of the biggest art shifts I've seen.

Too bad about the mangaka though.

I want everyone reading We Never Learn to imagine canned laughter from the audience after every gag, gasps whenever it seems like someone is about to confess or have a romantic moment, and awwwwwwws whenever something sweet happens.

Also everyone should mentally insert the word Bazinga whenever Swim Girl pretends that she's just joking about being in love with the MC.

Also cheers and applause whenever Sensei enters the scene.

Now, you too can enjoy watching Big Bang Theory while reading We Never Learn!

There's a surprising number of Asian novels where it's "I just steal this idea that someone else had and sell it as my own" and I'm like, is that culturally aware or just really sad that the limits of their imagination and dreams are pretending you did the cool thing someone else already did first?

I believe someone (might have been Endorph? can't really remember) explained that a lot of these works are adapted off web novels on sites that specifically host that stuff? And then the popular ones become light novels and mangas and whatnot.

I think it's like fan fiction, except instead of copying the entire setting, you just take the basic concept and put your own twist on it and write it. I think a good deal of people writing them are kids, too?

Fabricated posted:

Caught to Kimetsu no Yaiba. Lot of funny chapters and now a double-pronged attack by not one but two Upper Moons. Also a side character I thought had died literally at the start of the series came back and he had the bright idea to literally just put the demon-destroying iron into a shotgun.

I don't ever recall Angry Mohawk McGuns being in a situation where he'd die? He was one of the dudes who passed the test, and then you see him halfway through the series being a dick to Tanjirou.



He shows up once more at the end of the same arc, next to one of the Pillars reacting to Rengoku's death.



He's also probably related to the Wind Pillar.

You know it just occurred to me, if there's a Western branch (which apparently was said to exist since chapter 50 according to this comment), why did the European Quincies get dealt with by the Eastern branch?

On the other hand, let's talk about something else instead.
