Mapollo 3

[comradeyurika]

Seeing Hibara's past and the events that lead her to becoming Ira was really fascinating this week, along with getting some more info on Coco's past. The sudden mention of World War is quite intriguing, as it seems like things were already bad before the Notions even rose up. And this certainly seems to be a Madoka-esque situation where the Notions are former magical girls who were corrupted by some event. Suddenly dropping cigarettes into your magical girl manga also took me a bit off guard.

One of the amazing things about a digital first manga like this is that Mapollo3 is not constrained by the print format and he's free to just drop some random color into an otherwise black and white page, which is just what is needed to show the contrast between the different hearts. It fits with his art style really well, which has been one of the biggest draws of this manga for me, and I love the story.

But I really think that between this and PPPPPP we can safely call Mapollo one of the most inventive up and coming shounen manga artists. He's just so damn creative and expressive, and every panel always feels impactful. The story flow and paneling is also top notch.

It's been over six months and plenty of new series have hit Jump+ so it's time for another installment of Currently Running Manga Recommendation

First up on the list is Red Cat Ramen. A slice of life story about a Ramen Shop run by Cats! It's very cute and wholesome. It has a good balance of Humor and Seriousness in regards to it's premise. Current has 69 chapters (nice) but its such an easy read that it feels like less.

Next up is Magical Girl Tsubame: I Will (Not) Save The World! Another twist on the Magical Girl Format, it's not gritty/edgy/dark like so many others while simultaneously taking a different path from its contemporary Magilumiere Co (shameless plug). In its world the sky is full of different colored Hearts called Notions that occasionally crack open and make people violent. It's up to new magical girl Tsubame and friends to figure out what caused these deadly Notions to appear and how to get rid of them. Mapollo-sensei's wonky artstyle amplifies the cute by unsettling story and at only 12 chapters it still has room to grow!

Hope You're Happy, Lemon: College boy has never gotten over his childhood friend turned middleschool girlfriend who cheated on and dumped him. He finally meets a girl with potential to finally get him through that funk until, uh-oh, that girl is roommates with his childhood friend?? AND it turns out the friend didn't cheat on him, it was a stupid lie that she feels bad about and still has feelings for him all these years later!!! AND THEN Mr.Boy and Ms.Childhood Friend start switching bodies every night, hijinks and comedy ensue. An interesting premise for romance manga. Currently at Eight chapters.

Last series this go-round is MamaYuyu. In this world there are two opposing forces, the Human Hero and the Demon Lord. That is until 18 years ago peace was made between Human and Demon. We follow the current hero Corleo, having grown up in peace times he doesn't really know what it means to be a Hero. When Heroes and Demon Lords from other worlds begin to appear in his, he has to learn fast. A lot of potential here, if it keeps building on itself I can see it being a new long running battle shonen so get in at the ground floor. Currently at 15 chapters
