Rand Brittain posted:Ichi doing something so impressive that he is obviously the "winner" while still losing on a technicality, is basically the optimal ending to this story, because we all want Ichi to be cool but also want to see the School Arc. i don't think togeice is so petty as to claim a technical victory when ichi stopped to deal with the bigger problem at hand also the whole wager started due to disagreements over whether to announce ichi's existence now versus giving him a proper witch education first. i'm not sure "hide his existence" is gonna be on the table for much longer when he's fighting the atomic bomb majik

Chapter 16 Some fantastic art this week. There's no way this is going to work, right?
|
|
|
|
Well, our BBEG didn’t expect it! I think the winning play here is stir things up enough to evacuate the citizens. Unless the future can be changed the land itself is still hosed.
|
|
|

Yeah the prophecy said nothing about people dying, my guess is Ichi with Uroro amplification is going to be able to stall things long enough for Dess and Togeice to free people from the barrier..
|
|
|
|
Yeah the prophecy even said it'd take 15 minutes. And who knows, maybe acquiring some majiks of his own and having a proper "wand" means Ichi won't pass out immediately.

i'm a little concerned about the speed of escalation here, but with the way Jump is advertising it's hopefully not feeling the axe just yet
|
|
|

It got color pages and I think even the cover last week. I also don't know how much of an indicator MangaPlus numbers can be, but it's been pretty consistently in the top 5 for weekly Jump stuff. I think it's okay.

I think this is more to show that not every being in this world is an idiot and there's some dangerous ones out there that are actual threats

Every single majik that has been fought has shown itself capable of massive amounts of death and destruction. Only real difference is this one makes a cage beforehand and is better able to hide due to looking human.

Basically, there's no indicator saying it's facing the axe and a lot of indicators saying it's successful (getting Jump covers, getting color pages, regularly getting high placing in Jump's contents page). If it were in danger of the axe due to underperforming, it would have become apparent around now, and it's not happening.

Ichi the Witch Chapter 21 END.

Nah, this rate of escalation is just right. He's been clowning the basic bitch magiks, so now on his third proper hunt we get to see what the bigger picture is and the overarching threat of the manga going forward will be.

The only thing I don't like about this manga is that the mangaplus site doesn't stitch together two-page spreads and I swear like half the pages in any issue are part of a two-page spread or otherwise overlapping panel work. But it's nice to see somebody go so heavy into spread work to frame the story.

A whole bunch of chapters of various series just dumped on MangaPlus for some reason, so here's 17 https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1023085 Goddamn

I think Jump in general just comes out early after the holiday break

DESSSSSSSSSS
|
|
|
|
Starting to think she might be the best character in all of Jump right now.

I see Ichi is chasing the fujoshi audience like kagurabachi.

That look ichi gave the humanoid majik as he stared deep into its eyes that can only be described as passion And the absolute unhinged desire just said out loud with no need for subtext Frame it in the lourve Put it in a 90s shoujo amv This is true peak shonen now.

Sick as hell chapter (17)
|
|
|
|
Everyone's favorite uber-talented badass! Though this is interesting - even an Uroro-amped human-hater majik didn't do a whole lot to Ichi's new boyfriend. I suppose after this all dies down we'll learn one way or the other how majiks might get stronger, given this was aiming for some kind of school arc.
|
|
|
|
I figure it's gonna be like the current Kiyoshi arc and be more about learning to actually make proper use of the very strong magic he has instead of going full tilt all at once. We're gonna see Desscaras clown this guy for a bit with "weaker" magic than Uroro.
|
|
|
|
Yeah like the Path for Ichi is pretty clearly, learn how to use Uroro's power without passing out immediately.
|
|
|
|
who is this successful and uber-talented badass, who is clearly imitating desscaras and could not actually be the woman herself as she is a disaster

SpacePig posted:We're gonna see Desscaras clown this guy for a bit with "weaker" magic than Uroro. Tbf, the biggest thing Ichi did here was stop the big row of spooky guys that was going to crush the town, and I imagine that probably did require the sheer power from Uroro's magnification.

BearDrivingTruck posted:https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1023352 I know what you mean. When this all started out I was like, "this doesn't seem like they're setting up Dess to be the starting mentor who bites it for protagonist motivation", but now I'm not so sure! She has so many gimmicks going for her! But that means it'd be really impactful if she went down!

I wonder if the trial to defeat this rear end in a top hat might involve a sacrifice of some kind, like she would have to give up her power or something. Maybe something that takes her off the board for a while, but maybe not permanently

|

it's the first time desscaras is allowed to cut loose since the manga started with the women-repeller majik, it'd be a bit silly to already depower or put her out of commission, if they go down that route at all.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, they will depower her because being reduced to a level 5 scrub with a handful of majiks would be extremely silly and fun to see her mald over.

Maybe something that takes her off the board for a while, but maybe not permanently I feel like the trial is probably something specific but trivial based on how he's hiding it so strongly. If it was difficult, he's probably have no problem with revealing it. Also I assume it's something comedic and humiliating. To whom, idk.

Oh, I like that. Very possible that he just doesn't want to reveal his weakness, but especially if it's something dumb
