Stark's introduction is hilarious! LOL! I am re-reading the Frieren series while watching its anime adaptation. I am absorbing the content of the manga and enjoying the manga chapters we now have on hand. Frieren looks serious in the beginning, but I did not expect him to be a total coward when facing the dragon. His dynamic with Frieren and Fern will be fresh and he'll be a wonderful addition to the cast! 😀

It's a good chapter with solid character building in it: Frieren is attached to Himmel and Fern is attached to Heiter. Einsam, the phantom demon, used the memories of the girls in order to manipulate them into thinking the ghosts have "materialized". The translation in VIZ Media was corrected to "haunt". Anyway, it's an interesting chapter and I can't wait to see it animated in the episode counterpart.

80% done up to Chap 112 according to Goodreads' "See All your Activity on this Book". Three more chapters to go as per https://kaguyasama-wa-kokurasetai.fan.... MAL database updated to Volume 5 and up to Chapter 112.

If the manga ends, it will not nearly consume as 1/100th of Frieren's life because that's just how loooooong elves (& dwarves) live. Fern has already spent 8 years with Frieren. She has a lot to her from Mistress Frieren. Frieren is not interested in Fern. She recalled how she feels being used. Frieren retraces her adventures with her former party to learn more about them because they're now deceased.

Mole revealed: Mechamaru. He's immobile. He can't even lift a finger cause of his disabled body. He's a puppeteer and it's ironic how he's a puppet for Mahito and Suguru Geto. Gojo-sensei's memories: Fushiguro is soooo adorable. Mama Fushiguro is mentioned at the very least. I wished we could have seen a glimpse of her in this chapter and not just her name mentioned off-screen!

Gojo vs. Geto hits a whole new emotional level in Chapter 78. The tension, the betrayal, the shift in their paths—everything feels heavier now. This chapter really shows how far their ideals have drifted apart, and it hurts in the best way. Loving the intensity of this arc.

**Chapter 77 goes wild.** Suguru’s breaking point is getting closer, and you can *feel* it. The pressure, the doubt, the way Yuki’s words hit him right when he’s already shaken—it’s all pushing him somewhere darker. Meanwhile Gojo’s drifting off in his own way. This arc is spiraling fast and I’m hooked.

**Chapter 76 wrecked me.** Suguru’s inner conflict hits full force as he finds Gojo changed, cold, and holding Riko’s body while non‑sorcerers celebrate around them. Gojo’s chilling question shakes him, but Suguru clings to restraint—for now. You can feel the first cracks forming between them, the quiet beginning of his fall.

**Chapter 75 hit me hard.** Toji comes in calculated and deadly, but the moment Gojo floats back with that calm, terrifying smile… everything shifts. You can feel Toji’s confidence crack and the whole arc tilt toward something huge. This rematch is pure tension, and I’m *so* not ready for what’s coming next.

This is new content for me. So, I love the twists and turns of this volume. Love the artwork as well.

Very interesting fights among the cursed users and the jujutsu sorcerers! 😄

It's Volume 3. We're barely in the series, but the narrative is getting serious.

Never thought I would enjoy the manga. But, it’s excellent I am into Sorcery Fights and curses!!! 😵

Thrilling, exciting, heart-pounding

That poker face from Melinda. She's very annoyed disclosing this alien information matter-of-factly to Loid. And, initially, Loid is open-minded. And he knew that he can get a shot at Melinda's disclosure if he just keeps his ears and eyes open. But, that face from Loid is just laughed-out-loud. 🤣

Melinda's hobby in the occult is interesting as I am also diving into tarot cards and the likes. And, I understand what Melinda's card spreads mean. 😄 Also, Loid is about to meet Melinda!! 😁

read Chapter 108 (9th out of possibly 10 chapters=90%) Volume 15 on December 25, 2024 on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus - A month of waiting is worth it because we are finally getting some plot development on Spy x Family. 😄

We got a neat chapter with most of the parents of the kids coming together in this festival, and hearing that Becky's dad asking Loid, "Heard you're seducing my daughter?" 🤣 Hahaha!! What was that? Anyway, at least we're back to the plan C with Melinda & Yor.

read Chapter 107 (8th out of possibly 10 chapters=80%) Volume 15 on October 27, 2024 on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus - There's a one month break, but so what?

Get Damian out of this house and back to the arms of Anya!! The Desmond family is a terrible contrast to the Forger family when it comes to "family dinner". 😖 Anya has striking features and a lovely attitude that caotured Damian's attention.

read Chapter 106 (7th out of possibly 10 chapters=70%) Volume 15 on October 14, 2024 on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus - That double-paged spread with pure awkward silence where no one is talking is terrifying and speaks about the detachment among family members! Endo perfectly captured the distant vibe when a get-together occurs in a Desmond family dinner.

At least, Anya knows how to protect others! And, poor Becky, all alone without any romantic discussion from the others. 🤣 It's like night and day with Anya and Becky!

Read Chapter 105.50 (6th out of possibly 10 chapters=60%) Volume 15 on October 01, 2024 on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus - I love how Tatsuya Endo made a Short Mission chapter on the movie characters that Franky and the teller saw from previous chapter. 😄

It's actually a fun chapter except for the whole "SSS going after the information network." 🤦🏻‍♀️😩 And, Franky will likely get a girlfriend by the end of the series. 😄

Read Chapter 105 (6th out of possibly 10 chapters=60%) Volume 15 on September 23, 2024 on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus - What a laidback chapter for Franky. He's a supporting character, but even he needs to shine in the spotlight once in a while. 😃

This chapter is lovely for its laidback and relaxing vibe. 😊 I was laughing out loud when Damian agreed the treasure hunt with Emile and Ewen. We finally see Jeeves, the Damian Butler. 😀

Read Chapter 104 (5th out of possibly 10 chapters=50%) Volume 15 on September 1, 2024 on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus - This chapter reminds me of that time when Mr. Green took Damian, Ewen, and Emile out for a trip in Volume 7.

Read Chapter 103 (4th out of possibly 10 chapters=40%) Volume 15 on Aug 21, 2024 on Shōnen Jump and MangaPlus - Belle is likely one of the Project Apple research subjects if it can telepath to Anya (who also came from Project Apple). What a sweet chapter on Anya, Bond, Loid, and Yor finding a seal for Anya's research project (while meeting Becky and Martha along the way). 😊
