I'm at chapter 135. Meliodas just got his powers back.

 

[SSJ2]

I'm now current.

 

[Satsuki]

Escanor is a fuckin monster haha

 

[SSJ2]

Yeah, I was pretty amazed by how easily he beat those two demons.

 

[Satsuki]

So how you like the series?

 

[SSJ2]

I think it's great. I'm not a fan of what they've been doing with Diane and King, though.

Spoiler

 

[SSJ2]

Hey Pierce, is this a weekly release?

 

[Satsuki]

Yes, it releases on mondays

 

[Yoshi]

What the hell happened to my image? God damn!

 

[SSJ2]

Ok good. Now I have a few weekly reads.

 

[Yoshi]

I just finished Volume 6... The plot is quite good especially for a Shonen, and it's fast paced while having a strong start. The dark themes and political themes are both good and there's also a sense of mystery. Obviously this is less important, but the fights are good too. I'm honestly surprised and have high hopes for this series.

 

[SSJ2]

Have you gotten any further yet, Yoshi?

There should be a new chapter to read. Will look later.

 

[Yoshi]

Nah, I've been playing a lot of Fire Emblem. I'll get to it sooner or later.

 

[SSJ2]

All good man take your time.

Started reading this a few days ago and have now read the first 20 chapters. It's alright thus far. The opening chapters haven't got my attention nearly as much as the author's previous work, Kongo Bancho, though it does seem like it's plot has more planning and thought into it than KB.

 

[SSJ2]

Yeah, it certainly starts to pick up from that point. The next major arc is very solid.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

I completed the Vaizel Fight Festival Arc. It was indeed an above average battle arc. The tournament wasn't much, though it was at least fast paced, and the arc really started to deliver with action and foreshadowing once Geera and Jericho showed up. I'm expecting Meliodas to be God tier with his treasure based on where Gideon Diane stands.

Whilst the art is for the most part, less detailed than in Kongo Bancho, mainly due to the author turning more towards DB-esque art rather than his HnK/JJBA elements in KB, Suzuki has definitely gotten better at drawing female characters.

 

[Satsuki]

I love the fight festival and everything after it gets awesome

 

[Captain Cadaver]

I'm up to the training after the Galan fight. The manga's OK thus far, though I didn't find the Kingdom Infiltration Arc to be as good as the Vaizel Arc, despite having enough length to possibly make it so. The current arc seems like it could be good though.
