CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 4-6
Tumblr media
Hehe
Tumblr media
I remember seeing a tweet about how this scene had him singing about unions, but they removed it in the anime. It doesn't appear in this version I'm reading though. Maybe I'm reading the wrong one?
Tumblr media
:O
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The expressions kill me.
On to Chapter 5
Tumblr media
"A certain level of absurdity" 💀
Tumblr media
Just taking note of this for future comic paneling. I like how this page switches from flashback/exposition to present, in two columns.
Tumblr media
This too, this speech bubble panel zooming in. Cool cool cool.
Tumblr media
Hehe
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Power visibly scared by Makima. 👀
Tumblr media
Character assassination 😭
Tumblr media
Power's really more visibly terrified of Makima here than in the anime I think.
Also haha Denji's >_> face.
Tumblr media
On to chapter 6
Tumblr media
>_>
Tumblr media
You two are already bros by the end of season 1.
Tumblr media
Highkey love this panel.
Tumblr media
And this one. Creepy.
Ok actually pausing the read here for now.

CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 17-22
Continued from the previous post
Tumblr media
It's really cute how comfortable she is with him now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How quickly she appears in front of him is funny.
Tumblr media
Also Denji's face watching the encounter lol
Tumblr media
Not him actually considering it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kobeni breaking down while Power's :D is so funny when Kobeni and Arai are drawn in intense detail and Power's just like this.
Tumblr media
Such a great panel.
Tumblr media
Rad design.
Tumblr media
And paneling. Ugh so good.
On to Chapter 18!
Tumblr media
More stressed Aki than usual
Tumblr media
Loove how the hand is drawn between panels here.
Tumblr media
;-;
Tumblr media
"The audacity"
Tumblr media
He's just so annoyed
On to Chapter 19
Tumblr media
The design is very Corinthian (Sandman)
Nice seeing more of Kishibe in the Himeno flashback.
Tumblr media
It's so sad lol.
On to chapter 20!
Getting close to where the anime ends.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ahhhh, Madoka. Biggest chad of the CSM universe (that I currently know about)
Tumblr media
Huh, I remember the anime saying something about how the other fiend was too reckless/dangerous. But aww, it's scared. I wonder which one it was.
Tumblr media
I love him
Tumblr media
:D
Tumblr media
Get away from him u creepy lady.
Tumblr media
That braincell's doing some heavy lifting.
Tumblr media
Don't mind me just screenshotting every instance of Madoka I come across. Aki's pretty and all but we stan a man who knows when to resign.
That puke panel is awful : D
I like how flashbacks get a black gutter/background now/
Tumblr media
:((
Night at Himeno is just as disturbing as in the anime!
Makima's giving surprisingly solid relationship advice. I know she's evil and just manipulating him but the chupa chups scene was cute.
The alliance is formed!
Tumblr media
His face >:]
I did not realize I was at the end of Chapter 22. Makima's 'dead' 🙄
Pausing liveread here for now!

CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 1-3
Tumblr media
I like the foreshadowing in this panel. And how Denji looks more 16 in here compared to the anime where he looks more... buff?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also really like these, with the blood and arm going across panels.
This flower is also suspicious >_> People keep saying there's plenty of foreshadowing throughout the manga so I'm going to keep an eye on it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Low quality faces like these are cute.
Tumblr media
her >_>
Okay we're on to chapter 2. Seems to be following a 1-chapter-1-episode format so far.
Tumblr media
Hehe low quality faces
Tumblr media
Huh, first non-anime content. Makima's more blatantly an asshole here. And it's nice seeing Denji having slightly more self-respect in line with that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He run.
Tumblr media
That's a cute devil. I sure hope it's not secretly violent or hostile.
Tumblr media
AH
Tumblr media
Love the expressions. Taking notes.
Tumblr media
Manga Denji is way more endearing than anime Denji was at this point in the story.
Tumblr media
Dammit Fujimoto.
Aand we're back to Denji simping and that hilarious udon-feeding shot.
On to Chapter 3.
Tumblr media
Ooh worldbuilding.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First sighting of babygirl. Glad to see the dead-eyed stare was source-accurate.
Tumblr media
Makima really gives me Haruko Ichikawa character vibes. Affably evil to the core.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More quality Denji faces.
Tumblr media
Totally not ominous.
Tumblr media
Yup. That's it. That's the chapter.
Stopping here for now to continue working on commissions!

CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 14-17
Thesis proposal just got approved :'). To celebrate, a few more chapters of CSM.
Tumblr media
I haven't really been paying attention to chapter titles but this is funny knowing what happens.
Tumblr media
Every close-up on Aki's eyes kills me. Mans so stressed.
Tumblr media
Blessed page.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really hope we find out what happened with the prank lol.
Tumblr media
Himeno my beloved
Tumblr media
This is cute seeing him learn about relationships if we remove the context of who taught him this, and how.
Mans resolve quickly crumbles tho lol
Tumblr media
;-;
Kishibe sighting in the flashback!
Tumblr media
Once again love this paneling.
Tumblr media
Do captions like these continue for the rest of the manga, up to Part 2? I love them.
On to Chapter 15.
Tumblr media
Such a cute cover.
Tumblr media
Sorry captions but the first thing that comes to mind is that breakdancing cat meme.
Tumblr media
Love Himeno's expression and the Aki peeking from the corner. And the angle of this is cool.
Actually this whole page is cool and really good flow of action I love it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Happy power :)
Tumblr media
Man I love Himeno. Cheerful but also really pragmatic.
Tumblr media
Kobeni 😭
Also this conversation just continues in the background while Arai is discovering the spacetime loop and I love it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once again really great composition, there's Arai on the stairs as the first thing the eye falls on, distinct against the lighter bg, but Denji and Power are also set off from the other members who are wearing black in the foreground.
Tumblr media
She's just like me fr
Tumblr media
His finger going over the speech bubble is great hahaha
Tumblr media
Himeno 🥺
Tumblr media
Mood.
On to Chapter 16.
Tumblr media
Aw is he actually concerned?
Tumblr media
>:D
On to Chapter 17
Tumblr media
Really like this panel.
Tumblr media
Denji just squaring up like :|
Tumblr media
So cool. Also I don't think anime ghost hand had an eye, did it?
Tumblr media
Huh, more lore!
Tumblr isn't letting me upload more images so I'll continue this read in another post.

CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 26-28
Continued from mid-chapter 26 from the last post.
Tumblr media
The manga-readers were right this shot was way more terrifying than in the anime.
Tumblr media
Them! They were cool. I hope they appear again in the manga.
Tumblr media
>_>
On to Chapter 27
Tumblr media
Hello Hydraulic Press Devil
Tumblr media
The paneling.
Okay last one, Chapter 28.
Tumblr media
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Panel bg switching to black halfway to cut to the flashback is cool.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Snake is so cooool. So is Kobeni going 🧍‍♀️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
slay queen
Tumblr media
Notes:
how the gunshots hitting swordguy are drawn, impact ripples(?) in light
low-quality kobeni in the background and how cleanly she's framed behind sawatari
kobeni herself colored as background/midground while her gun and hand are highlighted
Tumblr media
Suuuch a great page and such a great panel.
Tumblr media
Madoka 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am definitely going to draw fanart of this guy at some point. It's basically this comic. I'm a simp for guys with good work boundaries.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
💖💖💖💖💖
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Makima also has a huge panel with her creepy smile in this page but I've elected to ignore it and take Madoka screenshots instead.
Tumblr media
Go king
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I guess that's the last we'll ever see of him in the manga. Farewell, dear random side character.
Tumblr media
Very memeable image.
That's the end of Chapter 28, and this liveread. Getting closer and closer to where the anime ends ;-;

CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 7-10
Made good progress on comms today! Sneaking in a chapter or two before I sleep.
Tumblr media
Well the cat looks more stressed in the manga lol, that's nice.
Tumblr media
Really nice framing/composition on this one.
Tumblr media
Power flashback time!
It's a shorter sequence than in the anime so I appreciate Mappa for showing more Nyako/Power moments.
Tumblr media
I like this page too. Sudden Bat grab feels abrupt. Or maybe it's just my anime experience coloring that feeling.
Tumblr media
Noting this too, the takeoff being shown by just the roof shattering.
(Idk if all the things I'm pointing out are usual shonen manga conventions but I've read like 3(?) Actual Manga*, so bear with me here as I take down notes.)
Tumblr media
:U
Tumblr media
Man I really like how flashbacks are done here.
Okay on to Chapter 8.
Tumblr media
After reading in the infinite scroll webtoon format for so long seeing paneling like this is such a visual treat.
Tumblr media
He's so shocked 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love protagonists who don't give into villain philosophizing.
Okay Chapter 9 now.
Oh so here's where the montage of Power and Nyako come from.
Tumblr media
Lol such a weirdly-romantic-looking shot
Tumblr media
Hahaha
Tumblr media
Dude really got a glow-up in the anime. Why'd they make him more muscular? Fanservice?? I haven't seen a single Denji simp.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These close-ups of Leech's face are killing me. She's just 👄
Tumblr media
:D
Tumblr media
HYPE
Tumblr media
HYPEEEE
Tumblr media
Woah fox's design is cooler here. Especially how she's half phased-in and you can see parts of the background through her.
Tumblr media
So cool how the eyes are the last to vanish.
Tumblr media
Cat being pretty chill with all of that happening is source-accurate too lol.
Okay that's it for this liveread!
*The only other manga I've read are Saiki K, Houseki No Kuni... and Spy x Family. The composition/paneling of CSM really stands out compared to those three so hopefully I can Absorb that and apply to whatever future comics I make.

CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 11-13
Tumblr media
:)
Tumblr media
Mans so stressed
Tumblr media
Aw it's the girl who had the 'pet' devil! So cute. I wish they included this bit in the anime, but I guess having the whole Aki morning routine scene is a good tradeoff.
Tumblr media
he's so real
Tumblr media
and so rude 😭
Tumblr media
That's right. You're making ✨family✨
Tumblr media
Denji's upset little face in the background.
Tumblr media
One of the not terribly lore/plot-heavy details I'm looking forward to finding out is how Makima 'saved' Aki. And also why he's a Makima simp. Sis is terrifying.
Tumblr media
A CARROT.
Tumblr media
I don't know if this is just a translation thing but "made that vegetable" is such a Denji thing to say. And I also love how much he respects farmers.
Tumblr media
>:( >:(
Tumblr media
Panels like these really remind me of Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell.
On to chapter 12!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
:O
Tumblr media
"No getting away from Makima" 👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
D:
Tumblr media
Getting to read the dialogue in this part is fun lol. Ahhh, paperwork.
Tumblr media
Ignoring the fact that he's talking about boobs, this is a mood.
Makima handholding scene is just as unnerving as it is in the anime!
On to Chapter 13.
Tumblr media
There's really this vibe that she's talking to him like he's a kid. Which he is. Which makes everything that happened a few pages before creepier.
Tumblr media
:((
Gun hit Japan for 26 seconds and killed tens of thousands? So the fact that they're trying to track it down probably means it's either not running (flying?) around, or is avoiding populated places. Really curious how snake girl managed to make a contract with it.
Tumblr media
Me listening to someone infodump about their superpowered OCs
Tumblr media
;u;
Tumblr media
I hate how they have veins. Cool design, but I haaate it.
Tumblr media
Ohhhhh the reveal that it's him happening way after the convo with Makima and the flashback is neat.
Stopping the liveread for now. Looking forward to the hotel arc!

CSM liveblog - Vol 1 Ch. 23-26
Today's sponsor is the chainsaw man thread in the Trese discord :')
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suuch a good cover.
Tumblr media
Aki's really always like 👁👁 isn't he. I guess the thousand yard stare's realistic considering his childhood (or lack thereof)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Madoka sightings <3
Tumblr media
:)
Tumblr media
Fox devil my beloved
Tumblr media
:(((
Tumblr media
Oh this panel slaps.
On to chapter 24.
Tumblr media
Yessssssss
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Furiously taking down notes for action sequences
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also how cool is it that curse's finger comes from out of the panel
I thought the anime did its own thing but even the lips whispering ominously in the darkness is from the manga. Beautiful.
I liked the slow pan through Curse's spine the anime did though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We're not even at the peak of this man's suffering and yet he has already suffered So Much.
As much as the Pactposters here have compared Blake to Denji. Aki feels more Blake-ish considering the level of suffering he goes through.
(Bopin if ur reading this go read Worm so you can read Pact too >:( )
Tumblr media
The utter lack of background in these panels make them more intense. I love.
Tumblr media
It's really funny going from HNK where author notes are like "I got a PS5 :)" and then going to CSM where the equivalent seems to be these excited captions narrating whatever's going on in the page.
On to Chapter 25.
Tumblr media
Immediately hit in the feels by this cover. What the hell Fujimoto.
Tumblr media
Stylish and practical! (I am trying to distract myself from the pain)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ooh! This part of her monologue wasn't in the anime. Fujimoto keeps hurting me in new and unexpected ways and I expect he will continue to hurt me more. :')
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even the way he puts consecutive panels like these on different pages, on different spreads, is really smart and makes for great timing (sobbing)
Tumblr media
It's really cool getting a closer look of Snake's design since it went by too fast in the anime (weeping)
Tumblr media
;-;
Denji is back! My boy!
On to-
Tumblr media
They sure are Fujimoto.
Tumblr media
Panelling ��
Tumblr media
love how he depicts speed
Tumblr media
he's been barbered 😔
And now it flashes across all the dead devil hunters.
And we're back to Makima.
Continuing on the next post I ran out of images
