This specific point of terrorizing the boss? Nope. I just went and checked. They combined two story beats into one in episode 10. They had Alicia grinding in the dark-element dungeon (instead of just getting lost in it) with Yumiella's help and beating the boss over and over again. That is where they found the dark and light swords (and a wind spear for Patrick). However, the boss never really showed recognition of Yumiella or terror at her approach.

Now we are back in Saki's POV. It's great to see Kanon having fun and being social, but it is certainly a change for Saki. I think that it is an interesting idea to explore the dependence that builds up between somebody that takes on the role of a caretaker and the one being taken care of. Now that Saki isn't needed as much by Kanon, how does their relationship change?

I can't say I am a huge fan of Kanon's mom pushing for them to be living apart...like, what's the harm? Does she want Kanon to be more independent? If that is the case, it's already happening (as Saki is finding out). In any case, I do agree that there is a big difference between being roommates and just living very close to one another.

They really underplayed how much PTSD Yumiella gives this dungeon boss. I remember feeling genuinely bad for it by the time her trip ended when I read this in the WN.

We just cracked a dozen chapters and she already realized her feelings. Good stuff!

So, this thread got posted a day early because of some inaccuracies in the AniList api. It seems like it has been corrected now so that episodes should be posted at the right time going forward. Sorry if this post caused people to start looking for the episode when it hasn't come out yet!

That little omake at the end was so adorable. Chokki-chan just needs her fix sometimes, you know?

I will never not love Aqua and Eris jokes.

This one is sugar overload. I was annoyed in the beginning when they waited until the end of break to hang out, but they certainly made the most of it.

The pens! Also, I see a bit of Suzuki watching us in that sword reflection.

I haven't read the latest on this one, but it was a fun premise. It's still very early in the story though.

Curious to see where this manager/pig arc is going. I wasn't expecting him to stay a pig for this long.

As a meta comment, I believe I have enabled all the shows from last week's discussion thread at this point so that the bot will make threads for them. If you are in need of a refresher of how the bot works, here is the wiki page. For a tl;dr version:

  • If the bot doesn't make a post for an episode you want, you can request it by pm. Don't make the thread on your own or it will likely be removed.
  • The bot will stop making threads for an airing show when it sees that there were no comments on the previous week's episode. So, if you want to keep a show's threads going, keep discussing it.
  • Feel free to tag the bot in the comments with a screenshot that you want to be the lead image. Please no spoilers or NSFW in these images. Also, be patient. This part isn't automated so that I can screen the images. I have to do all the images by hand, so it might not happen for a bit depending on my availability.

Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

The Spring season is wrapping up at this point and the first Summer shows are just about to start. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts on shows you watched this season. Shows you liked, disliked, were surprised by, disappointed by? Let those opinions rip!

Like always, this thread can also be used for general discussions, recommendations, and questions. So, if you haven’t been watching any seasonal shows, we can talk about that too!

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

 

Premieres October 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from the article:

The story centers on male high school student Akira, who went into cold sleep and woke up 200 years later to a world that was ravaged by war. A new unified organization called OWEL leads people, and a new system called "Elsie" (or "LC") has now taken the place of marriage.

Appearing before Akira after he wakes is an android named Yugure, who looks strikingly similar to his girlfriend Towasa. Yugure immediately proposes marriage to a baffled Akira. Akira then decides to go on a journey with Yugure, as he believes Towasa must still exist in this world.

 

Premieres sometime in 2026. Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

In the year 199X, the world is engulfed in a nuclear inferno! The seas have vanished. The earth lies in ruins. It seems all life has been wiped out...but humanity has not perished!

Across the scorched and broken land, survivors cling to hope, desperately searching for food and water. However, their hopes are trampled underfoot by violence. Might makes right in this world, and the weak are crushed without mercy.

From the depths of that despair, a lone man with seven scars on his chest emerges. His name is Kenshiro, heir to the legendary assassination art Hokuto Shinken. As he roams the wasteland in pursuit of his sworn enemy Shin, who stole his fiancée Yuria, Kenshiro answers the cries of the oppressed, becoming a beacon of hope in a world of despair.

Standing in his path are brutal survivors of the apocalypse, their ambitions twisted by power and greed. In a world where the weak are prey and prayers go unheard, Kenshiro forges a path with his iron fists!
