This week's question: "What is the one thing that you can't wait for?"

Pretty good first chapter. Slasher attacks in Edo, old man martial arts masters, a girl with no pants riding a centaur and fighting a giant dragon? I'm in!

Was it picked up by someone?

To my knowledge, no.

America hates Fujita

THE MAN ON THE SILVER MOUNTAIN

Nice Mao this week

Shimamoto and Fujita collaborating on the cover is pretty nifty.

I don't know if I'd necessarily call the vampire series good at this point, but it was definitely interesting.

*guitar riff*

you can tell the guy is old school when he wears a manga hat in 2025

Shogi.

Didn't know Cromartie had a shogi club
Is this supposed to be comedic or it's played with a straight face?

It's a shogi league here in the world of Monkey Mountain

They're AI robots and holograms. It's played completely straight which I think just makes it funnier.

It's played completely straight which I think just makes it funnier.

Okay now I'm a bit interested in this manga

Viz releases their Sunday chapters in about four hours. We’ll know by then.

Although even then, it can take them some time to pick something up. They licensed Parashoppers around chapter 7.

I like the drawing of the two new series, the vampire one reminds me of Kurumada's apprentices artstyle, also Zettai Karen Children for a reason, Silver Mountain's drawings remind me of Lupin the 3rd, very nice artstyles the both of them have

has there been a week when Mao was not nice

very simple yet highly detailed manga, are the artists for Vampidol Tagiru and Silver Mountain veterans?

I never say anything that is not my honest opinion (it has been merely alright sometimes)

Fujita drawing shota feet again...

No they're spring chickens

Stylish apocalypse.

100 shogi players vs. 1 gorilla. Who wins?

What's my favorite boymom doing this week?

Lmaooo

Kazuki's done fucking around.

Mikadono 159: Tatari once I actually finish reading it.

There's a new Fujita manga and I didn't know ? I hope it gets translated semi-regularly.
I thought he was completely retired, but this is probably one last ride.

There's a whole-ass interview with them both too, although I'm certainly not going to start translating it right now

Yippee, the prince finally gets a name!

They're in love

Narumi and Shirogane illustrations only on Fujita's side

No Shitsaru in sight... nature is healing...

Tatari chapter 92: History of blood
(Last two chapters here if anyone missed them: 8 chan.moe/a/res/7352.html#48722)
When we left off, Haruka was picking a fight with his dad. The earring guy isn't having any of this, and prepares to stop him.

0381.jpg - 1114x1600, 612.25K

Only to be stopped himself by cigarette man.

0382.jpg - 1114x1600, 641.8K

He tells earring guy to lighten up. He's still got hilarious nicknames for people.

0383.jpg - 1114x1600, 540.37K

Don't butt in on an argument between a parent and a child. Seems like it's a fight between these two now.

0384.jpg - 1114x1600, 667.17K

Still, Haruka's not in the clear yet. There's only one of him against the entire exorcist army.

0385.jpg - 1114x1600, 488.77K

Ayaya~

0386.jpg - 1114x1600, 668.47K

Azumi's also there to help Haruka out. Don't get close, now~

0387.jpg - 1114x1600, 457.29K

Earring guy is starting to get worried, because Killberry is an absolute monster, and she's on Haruka's side. Well, more like she's a fan, and he promised to have a deathmatch with her if she helped him with this.

0388.jpg - 1114x1600, 494.78K

Haruka not quite on board with that, but whatever. Meanwhile, even more allies arrive from the rear.

Cute jump

color pages are all grey

what did they mean by this

These guys. They do a little comedy routine because spiky hair still hasn't realized mask girl is in love with him.

Time for daddy to get in on the action.

0391.jpg - 1114x1600, 654.63K

He creates a barrier so that the others can't hear him and Haruka. He then surmises that Haruka has noticed that there's something suspicious about the exorcists' magical techniques.

0392.jpg - 1114x1600, 603.87K

More specifically, they're all based on foreign magics that Garand passed on to them long ago. The exorcist are just a tool of Garand's, used both as a front and as a clandestine secret force at various times. Such is the history of their blood...

0393.jpg - 1114x1600, 611K

The master is no exception, having been unable to alter the status quo in any way. But Haruka's different: He has friends, allies, even youkai allies. He's grown to be more than just a tool.

0394.jpg - 1114x1600, 452.58K

If he were to become the master, perhaps things would change... Haruka's not interested. He just wants to give his rotten old man a good beating.

0395.jpg - 1114x1600, 461.48K

So be it, then. As his father and the leader of the exorcists, he'll face him head-on, as a warrior.

0396-0397.jpg - 2228x1600, 1.17M

Meanwhile, Tatari and his posse meet up with Braid. The shadow will take them to Garand...
Thanks for reading!
