Ichi the Slasher Villian being his usual self before Desscaras takes over for her first serious fight. Will be interesting to see just what she is capable of.

Bottom 4 this week

Maybe we'll see a situation like samurai 8 again where it gets LCP in chapter 12 and goes downhill immediately after.

This week's TOC probably reflects those shark nameks, and if you ask me, it deserves it, because that arc is garbage. (And I dropped there)

Man when Ichi stabbed the Majik’s neck my jaw dropped, that was so unexpected. Ichi is scary asf.

Oh shit time to see what Desscaras is capable of when she’s serious.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

This chapter was a massive letdown, this was easily one of the worst so far. 19 pages felt like 15 pages there was little tension, no stakes, and no payoff. The opening with one witch repeatedly yelling at the other to “keep writing” was ridiculous. It dragged on for two entire pages and wasted valuable panel space that could’ve been used for literally anything else. Then there’s the whole barrier situation. We’re told Uroro breaching it is this huge deal, like it’s supposed to be the key moment… only for Desscaras to suddenly swoop in and save Ichi with no setup or explanation. It felt cheap, it's like the writer couldn’t be bothered to connect the dots. Don’t even get me started on the cliché villain moment either, talking to an unconscious Ichi as if that’s supposed to add anything meaningful. It’s tired, lazy, and something I’ve seen a hundred times before. There’s just no creativity here. This chapter felt like a rushed filler that added nothing to the story. Seeing Uroro react to what happened to Ichi and seeing how Desscaras broke through he barrier could have replaced a few of the panels from pages 1 and 2 and this chapter would have been much better.

THAT FUCKING ACTION IS INCREDIBLE! Descaras btfo'ing the god majik, Ichi stabbing himself is so fucking hardboiled, and I got a kick from Kumugi writing her ass off! All in all this an awesome chapter! Loving this series!

After hearing how Ichi is supposed to sound like from the audio-chapters they released, his bloodlusted outbursts go 1000x harder ngl

This chapter ranked 18th out of 21 series in the popularity poll.
The previous chapter ranked 15th out of 21.
The popularity is quickly slipping in Japan.
Ranking below 15 is a dangerous sign.

if only you knew how the rankings worked you wouldn’t sound so silly. The rankings reflect the chapter from 7 weeks before. The bad rankings are from the shark chapters, which were received very poorly everywhere. Reception has been great ever since those chapters, so yeah, we will see. The volume selling 20k in 2 days proves that it’s doing amazing.

Also, you sound very desperate to make it look like this manga is doing bad and it’s in danger to other people, just because you clearly don’t like the manga. Both from the comments of this chapter and the previous one. It’s fine if you don’t like the manga, but what are you doing all of this for?

@Xenocrisi If only you did a little bit of research before you put your foot in your mouth. Here is a link to help you understand
For example, Syd which only has 7 chapter has all their chapters ranked here.

I honestly had high hopes for the Ichi, but it isn't living up to the expectations that I had after chapter 1. I stick with it hoping it will get back to that level but so far it has struggled to do so.

Furthermore, I am getting tired of you guys getting your panties in a twist every time someone has a difference of opinion than you do. I am not an echo chamber or robot, I can actually think. I have read over 100 manga and watched nearly 500 anime. I am not new to this at all. I am way past the point of giving every new shiny story a 10/10 right of the bat.

Honey, in fact, the first 7 chapters despite being “ranked” are not actually ranking, but put there by default by WSJ. Any person that actually thinks otherwise know nothing about how rankings and WSJ survey polls work. The actual ranking that’s worth any data is from chapter 8 onwards, which reflect the survey poll results of the first chapter lmao. Chapter 9 will reflect results for chapter 2, and so on. Do your research better next time. That was embarrassing for you.

Have a good day.

@Xenocrisi you're a real funny guy. I'm not embarrassed all. I provided a link so you could see what i was talking about. You provided nothing that proves anything, just your opinion. Clearly we have very different taste in manga/anime sadly I can see that you're one of those people who gets easily offended when someone thinks differently than you. With that I'll end this discussions here.

Started reading this today and caught up, I’m praying that this doesn’t get axed. First new manga I’ve read in a while that genuinely has me interested. The story could go anywhere.

@logic340 i really don't have a side here. I just really get ticked off when people act so ignorant while banging their chests.

He literally provided the facts on how the ranking system works. He corrected the information you stated wrong. The rankings don't reflect until ch 8 onward. So what you were saying about Syd has no merit in this argument. That's what he told you. So please don't try and gaslight the guy.

@logic340 The information he gave about the rankings are fairly important. Of course color page placement, editorial choices, etc. do play another part in that, but the general gist of this is fairly accurate. You should not disregard this argument.
