What's New in Manga? (7/24/16)
Spoiler Warning: Only read it if you've already caught up, don't plan on reading it, or if you want to get an idea of what's going on.
New as in, what's newly translated in English on various manga websites such as mangahere, mangapanda, mangareader, etc.
List:
Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! [Chapter 363]
Dorara [Chapter 1]
Kumo desu ga, nani ka? [Chapter 8]
Tales of Demons and Gods [Chapter 86]
ReLIFE [Chapter 137]
Tokyo Kigo Tanpou [Chapter 1]
Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! [Chapter 363]
The revelation that Tomo is going to play Dodgeball spurs her friends to play Volleyball instead. Smart move. I feel like someone we know will be on the other end of Tomo's unwitting fury... It'll be great.
Dorara [Chapter 1]
A bit different. Main characters tend to have a power to win battles. Something that they can control, or can at least control well enough to use it a limited amount of times or it has drawbacks. This falls under the Super-Powered Evil Side trope... hard. So Dorara is looking for the rest of it's body, eh? Decent first chapter.
Kumo desu ga, nani ka? [Chapter 8]
Your spider heroine isn't about to cower to the Earth Dragons. She's setting up traps for wasps and doing the ol' grind. XP heaven? The art style, panel filling, story, and overall feel of this manga is very good so far. One of the few instances where the 'reincarnation into a game world' story is actually downright enjoyable.
Tales of Demons and Gods [Chapter 86]
Been a while since a full translated chapter release, I believe. Nie Li teases a new technique: Shadow Devil Possession. Seems like he integrated that devil rather well. Little sister seems to be interested in learning too, so Nie Li might teach her a cultivation technique? Should be in the best interest, since there's many dangers out there.
ReLIFE [Chapter 137]
Arata seriously made quick work there, offering his own money. Shows his personal growth... But if anyone starts questioning where he got that kind of money from, he might be in hot water? In any case, Hishiro may have just landed both of them in a lava bath with the revelation that she took the money. Argh.
Tokyo Kigo Tanpou [Chapter 1]
Pretty excellent first impression from the same author of Nurarihyon no Mago and Illegal Rare. I feel like the art is much sharper and cleaner, great focus on things like the environment and detailed characters. Odd premise. What lies on the other side? What unfriendly spirits could be there? How is the main character able to perceive the spirits? So far, it's captured my interest.
Seems like there's a fixed up version of Dead Dead Demon's Dededededestruction (chapter 39). Apart from that, there are another few series on my radar. Granblue Fantasy for one. We'll see how well things go the next few days.
