Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

Finished Gleipnir. The final volume was lame as hell. Some real asspulls to attempt extra stakes, even though the stakes were already high. Really felt like padding. Sad to see it end like this.

SPOILERS (in case the tags my Lemmy app uses, don't work for others) Edit: it didn't. Using the browser UI to add those spoiler tags as well.

! Ikeuchi as final boss was super lame. His motivations were incredibly weak and it was just so out of nowhere. He came across like a child throwing a temper tantrum. Trying to add emotional weight to Shuichi's and Claire's actions (guilt-tripping) was also unfair and I don't think that was on purpose, since no one rebuked it. Yes they killed people, but they didn't have much of a choice. Moreover, the entire thing was unnecessary. After defeating him, they did the same thing they were trying to do before he deus ex machina'd himself back into the manga. Killing off Elaina could've easily been done without this too, if that was the reason this was included. !<
