Shonen Beam

[chapter link]

Excellent cover page.

Poor Baby Beel! His unbelievably cool moment was overshadowed by Miki jumping the gun. Furuichi cowering makes up for it, though.

Poor son of the devil

Oga is taking an interesting approach to this fight. He’s active but somewhat non-committal.

We don’t get to see Miki’s big move? Disappointing.

Oga is beat up but still fairly nonchalant. Keeping the action hidden from the audience that seems the wrong approach here. It only serves to weaken the image of Miki, while doing nothing to reinforce Oga’s strength. Nobody wins.

Final Flash: A misstep for this series. Everything to do with Miki has resulted in mishandled potential.
