I found it interesting how... middle of the road the ending felt. Not in a bad way, to be clear. It was a fine chapter, and it felt proper as a send-off. But I'm used to a finale being a crowning glory or (more often) crashing and burning. An ending that's just finishing up and taking a bow without any massive surprises either way is pretty uncommon. Well, it was a good ride. Looking forward to whatever cameos come up in the future in Oshi No Ko.

The ending struck me as a guy who had decided he really hated drawing weekly manga and was completely burnt out, and he got permission to end his manga without his editors locking him in a cage, and he just wanted to end things quietly and respectfully to his characters and then never do this again. I wish it had been funnier but I respect his choices, and "I got out alive" is the second-best outcome for a serialized mangaka I can imagine (#1 is a Jim Davis situation where you do about an hour of rubber-stamping and sketching a week and then play golf the rest of your life)

I suspect the mental response might be different if 'Kaguya gets to do her dream job and gets married' wasn't revealed beforehand

 The two idiots restarting the war of love idiocy, just with the marriage proposal this time, would have been mildly exasperating otherwise.

Lowkey but sweet ending after a set of lowkey but sweet epilogues was genuinely very good imo. Although now that i've seen someone mention it was a bit light on comedy, but I can understand the desire to have ending chapters without much emphasis on the jokes.

RIP to a hell of a hustler.

toriyama also. he wrote oneshots or short serializations whenever he feels like it and that was about it. and then he wrote some movies and gave them some plot ideas for super.

I'm happy with how things ended. The proposal plans gave me one last hearty laugh and Kaguya's last victory over Shirogane was a sweet note to end on.

I apologize if this question has already been answered elsewhere or for how ignorant I sound, but I know very little about the general publication cycle for manga. About how long should I expect to wait before a complete box set of the Kaguya manga comes out in English? I really love this manga and want to own all the volumes.

About how long should I expect to wait before a complete box set of the Kaguya manga comes out in English? I really love this manga and want to own all the volumes. There is no guarantee that it gets a box set at all. VIZ, the manga's english publisher, generally only puts out box sets for the biggest of big series. Think your One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, and more recently My Hero and Demon Slayer. It's not impossible and Kaguya would make a good box set, but it would be quite a while if it gets announced. The english release is currently at Volume 24 (with 25 in December-ish). It will probably complete its release ~late 2023 at Volume 28. Only after all the singles are released would think they think about getting a boxset, and like maybe a year or so later. So, if Kaguya gets a boxset, I wouldn't expect to see an announcement until sometime 2024 or 2025. For reference, VIZ's most recent box set release was for My Hero Academia back in October 2022, and contains Volumes 1 to 20. Volume 20 was released way back in 2019.

drat, I guess my best bet for getting every volume as a physical copy will be just buying them individually. Don't think I can hold out for a year or two hoping they'd make a box set if there's no word given beforehand that they'll make one. Thanks!

I obviously loved the art and characters here but I'd gladly read a philosophy book written by Akasaka too.

I don't suppose anyone is in Japan right now and can say how the movie did adapting the Christmas arc while everyone waits to see if and how we'll get access to it.

Apparently the author of Kaguya, Aka Akasaka, is writing (but not illustrating) a new Manga, Renai Daikou. The first chapter is scanlated on Mangadex. https://mangadex.org/title/ea3fc681-51fd-44d9-a83d-297c4c28e11b/renai-daikou

Cross-posting from the Oshi no Ko thread, but here's my impression on Renai Daikou:amigolupus posted:I was side-eyeing the pages where Kon talked about how Mari's not popular with guys because she dresses up and how men are timid creatures who need a girl to be vulnerable. Then I went I know it's a romcom so Aka may not get too critical and just play up the comedy aspect more, but it'd still be nice if it acknowledges that forcing a girl to become meek and demure so guys would find her easier to approach is messed up.

when Kon forced Mari to dress up as a generic romcom anime heroine, but I powered through the chapter anyway.

I can't imagine that's not where it's going. Kaguya had that whole arc about how people need to show their true selves to each other, and this is literally starting off with our heroes letting two weird goons puppeteer them around. It's absolutely a setup for that kind of story. Besides, look at how Kaguya started, with the narrator proclaiming that "love is a war, and whoever admits their feelings first loses". That's not what Aka believes, that's what our dumbass protagonists believed. Depiction is not endorsement, friends.

Yeah, the first chapter felt kinda average up until the twists of the guy also using the same stupid app for dating advice, and also that the avatars for that dumb app are literally puppets being manipulated by a freaking weirdo in fox cosplay and Literally Just A Guy and not just AI programs like I thought.

Kaguya was a scathing criticism of a lot of things, so it's bizarre to say that it won't go into anything just because it's a comedy.

Hah, my bad. It's been a while since I read Kaguya and forgot that it could get just as critical when it needs to. Rereading the chapter, and there's something funny about the part where Mari and Seki discuss their favorite book and knowing that the goons behind them must've been Googling "most popular books amongst teen" at the same time. Just going with the first result on the page and probably sounding like you're basic as gently caress.
