Honestly, incredibly disappointed by how this series handles its female characters. Especially given that the author is a woman and it was written very recently. Overall, I don't hate it, because it's pretty silly and charming, but it definitely has a bit of a confused tone at times (it never really nails the serious moments, in my opinion) and again, whatever energy it builds up through its plot and character dynamics gets totally lost by some random sexist/homophobic/transphobic/fatphobic/etc joke. Maybe I just have a really low tolerance level for that kind of thing, but I would be remiss to not mention it because it's the biggest hamper to my enjoyment of this series. It's not the worst manga I've ever read, though. Not by a long shot. Here's to hoping it cuts back on the -phobic BS moving forward…?
Band 2 bleibt witzig, war allerdings ein wenig weniger actionlastig, was ich schade fand. Wir bekommen ein wenig mehr Hintergrundstory und leider tauchen jetzt natürlich auch so langsam die Weiber auf, von dene nmal weider eine typische "Ich weiß besser, was für dich gut ist, und du sollst ned mit deinen freunden rumhängen" Bitch ist und ich hasse die so sehr ~~

Way back in my youth I loved a weirdo anime called haunted junction. I don’t remember much but there were ghost at a high school and the high schools tried to keep them under control. This manga kind of reminds me of that. I will say I am mostly upset by the “guy” stuff that happens in this volume. One there is a girl who had a glow up and then discusses her undergarments and she is smooshed into the boobs of another school girl. It just felt so out dated and chikan for what we have gotten. I am disappointed. I almost rated this 3 stars cause of that but I like the new guy from his family that showed up.
This series captures everything that makes shonen manga so great! Some of my fave things from this volume in no particular order:
•”Dark Gathering” mention •Eugene with his HAIR DOWN????? Sir, you are SO FINE???? •Mogari being a nepo baby •the student council president who is secretly so kawaii •Kanzaki being a major weeb all over Tokyo •Miss Rin-Rin 😍 •Ren being mistaken as a Geto cosplayer •Ren not knowing what “Jujutsu Kaisen” is •”carousel of stupidity”
i'm jealous as hell - i wish i was a teenage boy wandering around, talking to spirits and involving myself in random shenanigans with my equally close friendgroupppp 😒😔😩
had to nerf me by making me a med student....fairs 👌
anyway, props asl for this being early volumes of a manga and the artsyle looking this good!! like every character is so well drawn, i love the design and anatomy is done so well 🥺 the girls are SOOO pretty in this as well
i'm hoping maybe a female character who is a bit more prominent and part of the main squad (not someone who will come in and out every once in a while like i'm assuming the Y1 student council girl from the pin-back hair kids past is)
yo, bear with me in reviews as i slowly learn these guys' names
and that female character hopefully is NOT a love interest. that'd be SO COOL but no biggie if that doesn't happen
BRO I LOVE THE CAST AND THE CHARACTER DESIGNS FOR EVERYONE the student council were introduced in this one and i love the president hahaha what the hell is his deal 😭 nOBODY told him he had to roleplay a nonchalant baddie bro. it's that spongebob image with the handcuffs; HE put himself in that situation 😭
the other two guys, idrk - they are promising but i haven't seen that much of them yet so we'll see what their character is like.
i adore the dark-haired girl on the student council and i don't mind the one that hates men but is nice to the first girl i was talking about. we'll js need to see more of them i guess!!
OMG and they introduced ren who tryna kill our tonguey monster eater boy idfk what his name is HE'S SO COOL
bro, as i said, peak characters introduced in this one i'm SOO excited
i really like this series but i js realised a ch a month...4 chs a volume...4 months for a new volume 🥺 and its got to be translated too...jokes thats like 3 books a year if we're lucky that's SO good yay. lowk might have to start collecting this manga...who knows... but i HAVE to do my lovely, goated, glorious blue lock first <3
ok my chapter summaries!! (i'm doing this in case I take a break and need to remember what happened in the prev vol xx)
spoilers obvs bcs it's a recap! all i could wish for is that we get a bit more character focus! like the story is SO good and ik we are setting things up with it being vol 2 and all with only 7 chapters so far. but!! would it not be good to understand the characters a little more?
it may be intentional, but i'd love to know more about why glasses was so "science focused" and then suddenly cares about spirits and all when he was SO headstrong about not believing in it. why does he want to be in PB's so bad? is it the friendships? did he not have friends before? what exactly was his life before? HOPE TO SEE IT SOON x back to the summaryyy
mogari is my son and i WILL protect him omg. i love how hes highkey important but also just DOESNT GIVE A FUCKKKKK. all of them are amazing. love the yandre student prez we are getting and the baddie girls and ... Once Again. ZAKI. BEING THE FUCKING NERD HE IS. ofc hes a geto glazer like that just Checks Out. I cant wait to see more of this world and these characters because i am IN LOVE
