Witch Watch ch133

Oh God little Nico is so effing cute, the bit where she got the memory of meeting Morihito back and called him Moi :wub:

Yet another genre shift for this manga, it's gone from goofy teenage gag manga, romcom, battle manga and now dysfunctional 'family' sitcom with CGDCT elements

I love it and want to see it animated.

Also, started reading A Couple of Cuckoos and think I like it enough to read all of it.

At Summers End 1-2

Pleasantly surprised by this new series on MangaPlus. I'm digging the rough minimalist art style (complete with some lovely watercolour pages) and subtle facial expressions over large bodies of text.

Chainsaw Man 149

Just as Nayuta starts going off the deep end with wanting to kill humans she turns back in to the super adorable, spoilt little sister. That smile. :wub: Poor Denji. :slol:

Literally came into this thread to comment on that.

Beginning to suspect Nayuta has replaced Power as the annoying, unpredictable little sister like sidekick figure.

Awesome news for all - Dandadan finally has its anime adaptation confirmed!



Science SARU are the ones adapting it so pretty confident we're in for a treat.

I'm almost caught up with Frieren -- up to episode 10.

It's a really cool show! I'm enjoying it a lot and would definitely rec it. It's a very pretty animation, and the story is touching but not overwrought.

I've heard it's a two-cour season, so broadcasting every week up to episode 28. Been a while since I watched something weekly but I guess I'll have to!

I'm a bit behind (ep5) as I've been trying to tackle my massive gaming backlog, and watching a few other animes (including rewatching Onimai for some unknown reason :shifty: ).

It's good though.

Parasyte and GiTS are worth that price alone.

The others sound pretty good too, think I might treat myself.

Started watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid earlier today, looks like the ideal blend of silly slice of life and slightly lewd comedy.

I'm glad I saved the latest chapter of Witch Watch until today. Little Nico is pure adorable CHAOS.

Its great at the moment but I hope this arc doesn't drag on too long, I prefer the previous dynamic between Moi and Nico to the weird parental type relationship they currently have

I'm digging that cute gags and mischief of little Nico after the high stake battles of the last arc. Once Nico is back to normal I'm sure her moment with Morihito will be all the sweeter after all this... I'm picturing a double page smooch for sure.

URGH, little Nico is too strawberry floating cute :wub:

LOL at bratty Miharu getting jealous. I lost it at the familiar summoning auditions and Nico certainly hit the jackpot there. :slol: :wub:

Its great so far, Just realised Kobayashi looks exactly like a female version of the MC from Chichi Chichi (in fact almost identical, they're both fairly androgynous and short) which isn't surprising as the manga is by the same author, hopefully it isn't quite as pervy
