Best chapter untill now.

The pace was nice and we get some details about the situation and characters.
The town was invaded, the military is corrupt, Tiamat gets angry. Tico is a war orphan. Astro had someone that resembled a father and wants to beat the invaders.

The invader seems to be an wealthy alien. He want to bring darkness over the people and planet. I think it will be a good antagonist because he has power and it don't looks like his doing this just for fun.

The capitan of the 6th batalion ,which will face our heroes in the next chapters, is probably the psychopath type that enjoy killing and destructions. If so, he is the best opponent for Tiamat, because their beliefs are contrary.

Heh, Tico and Astro are war orphans too.
Love where this is going. They will exterminate a city full of aliens.

At least start to get to feel more emotion towards the battles that are happening.

Alright, now i'm getting the feeling of what Bulge might become.
This was the best chapter till now. The feeling of adventure of being in a important city that was invaded by bad aliens mixed with the mission of Astro and Tiamat, that is the thing.
Till now, i've been thinking Bulge might not have the potential that its world showed in the initial chapter, but with this one, i've come to realize that it may be a really good shonen one in the future. This arc will decide the destiny of this series.
And let the games begin.

Yeah! I liked this chapter too! But it got 7th in Jump rank this week! Let's see if this chapter changes the story! Or we won't even be able to see where this manga is going!

I am not holding my breath for this 1. it is enjoyable but too much 1 directional in the story telling.

What do you mean by "1 directional"? For me it's a generic jump adventure manga! Just like One Piece or Dragon Ball. So, the story can get pretty good in the future! I'm looking forward to this, don't want to see it being dropped by Jump! =(

Actually, now One Piece has a pretty big universe, but in the begining it was just the same "1 direction" manga.

I don't quite think this particular arc will decide the 'destiny' of the series, but it's definitely a good, fun one with a lot of action (as it should) and it sounds like we'll get some more backstory on Astro with this father figure he mentions. And again, I really like the pace that this manga's going at.

I'll join the echo chamber with the sentiments that this was the best chapter thus far, and it's not even really close. On a silly note, I quite like the gag with Tiamat not being able to look at Tico with Astro keep telling him she's over there. But more seriously, this chapter established a lot and is the first one setting up an actual story arc that will have more going on than a singular conflict. Tiamat's anger at the military forces sending false reports, Tico's backstory and motivation, hints at Astro's real story, all three of the characters have some sort of tangible stakes going on, and the chapters end introduced several baddies that will need to be taken care of before this arc can close out. The continued theme of family as something we choose rather than being reliant on blood ties continues to strengthen here. The family speak from Astro can get a tad redundant, but I do like how that's incorporated both with Astro's orphan family, him posing as the prince itself, and no Tico's backstory. Also, it will never come to fruition, but the note that Tico escaped from a conflict in another country was definitely intended to come back into the story down the line.

Shame this comes up as there's only half the series left, hope this arc at least gets wrapped up.
