Shonen Beam

[scanlation by I Eat Manga]

In case you forgot, this chapter is here to remind you that speed lines indicate rapid movement.

I don’t care if it’s just being used as a generic boxing-related term: Amano shouldn’t be throwing out the word “counter” if it has no application to the move being used or the scene at hand.

Destroyed by poor terminology

Ryohei’s new ability certifies him as the party’s official tank. What an unimaginative upgrade.

... and the more derivative you become.

I hate to repeat myself week after week, but Amano’s art becomes more confusing by the panel. More detail does not equal more quality. Certainly, a minimum level of detail is mandatory, but too much ink is just as bad as too little. Amano used to have balanced art, but she’s clearly lost sight of her strengths.

Pages of uninteresting fighting, and a Bleach-style twist at the end. Trying to squeeze life out of a fight between a practically meaningless opponent and one of the least engaging protagonists is more than enough to repulse readers.

Final Flash: There is no magic in this series left to lose.
