#sm manga act 31

[keyofjetwolf]

Haruka’s sword doesn’t appear to have an end**, leading me to the conclusion that either a) it’s a dagger in the manga, or b) Haruka’s stabbing herself to not have to be in this volume.

OR BOTH BOTH IS ALSO GOOD

(**) Yes I see the end of the sword, this was a joke and please note I don’t actually care.

Manga Discussion Post: Act 31

Looks like we’re starting a new volume. I walk with Senshi Band, and nothing can harm me.

dear, her next love.

Hello. Sana.. alagaan mo si joyce. Sobrang swerte mo kapag nakuha mo na loob niyan, and never ever give up on her. Minahal ko din ng sobra yang mokong yan hahaha pero i guess it’s time to let go. So ipapaubaya ko na yung nararamdaman ko para sakanya, please take time to read this one by one to understand her more. (and to hurt her less.. please?)

1. Siguro, madami kayong problema na madadaanan and minsan mahirap i-open up si joyce. Please, never ever make the same mistakes as i did na lagi siya pinipilit mag open okay? It will take time pero she would eventually open up din kahit bit by bit.

2. Si joyce.. she’s amazing. Overthinker nga lang, kaya always make sure na she’s enough. More than enough to be honest.

3. Make sure to give her/or show her little things that would cheer her up or make her happy kahit walang occasion, maaappreciate niya yun sobra.

4. Speaking of appreciation, di siya masyado marunong magbigay ng reaction kapag may binibigay sakanya pero deep inside naaappreciate naman niya talaga kaya dont you worry brad/besshy, natutuwa talaga yun.

5. I loved her, because she has a very kind heart. May malaki siyang soft spot para sa mga nakakatanda and sa mga bata, (kahit awkward siya minsan sa mga bata, gusto niya talaga sila deep inside heh pag hindi annoying) lalo na sa mga nasa lansangan.

6. Talented din siya oh diba what a catch! haha, kahit sinasabi niyang hindi. Gumagaling na siya sa pag drawing and oil pastel, you should see her works ang ganda na talaga. tapos, marunong pa siya magpiano what even, di nga abot ng kamay ko yung ibang keys samantalang sakanya ang effortless lang wow. Ang bilis pa niya matuto. I’m super amazed kapag nagsesend siya saakin ng recordings of her playing, titirisin kita kapag di mo naappreciate yang mga ipagsesend niya sayo ha nako ka, may araw ka din sakin.. charot.

7. She has a very beautiful voice, hindi ko lang alam kung bakit di siya naniniwala na magaling din naman siya kumanta (minsan hehehe joke) kaya mission ko para sayo, please try your best na ipafeel sakanya na magaling siya, and that her voice is music to your ears okay? Kung di siya music sa tenga mo aba'y sisipain din naman kita pagkatapos sapakin, no big deal. char againnn. Maybe.

8. Magaling siya mag lead kapag siya na ang leader, tapos she would really put effort sa mga gagawin (kahit as a normal group member lang din) Andami ko nang times na nakikita na maeffort siya pagdating sa mga ganun, lalo na pag affected yung grades niya. Kahit nga sa mga projects niya ang effort din niyan eh, galing galing talaga hehe. It shows na kaya din niya gampanan mga responsibilities niya even if she’s sooooo lazy sometimes. She’d still make sure na ginawa niya lahat ng tama.

9. Did i ever mention na artistic siya? if oo, then oh well.. i’m gonna mention it again anyways. Oo, artistic siya. Ang galing din ng pagcalligraphy niya huhu.

10. Marunong siya magskateboard, tas yung ibang tricks din. Damn. Damn talaga.

11. Magaling siya mag acting, like shet??? Have you seen her act?! Nakaka bilib siya. Hands down. Para kang nanonood ng ibang tao kapag nag aact siya. Also, sumali yan sa contest ng sabayang pagbigkas sa pasig. Don’t me. Galing niya non, tapos ang effort niya sa lahat ng practices niya.

12. Magaling magbasketball, may pagka sporty yan eh hahaha. Get you a girl who could shoot!

13. Mahusay sa filipino, lalo na kapag nagfform ng constructed sentences. She really does know how to clearly express her thoughts beautifully.

14. She likes cute stuff. Lalo na yung mga design na aesthetic pero cute, mga tumblr-ish style with small cartoons or designs. Oh, and if i were you, make sure na kapag nasa sm ka daan ka lang sa stationary dep. (or any store with stationary) buy her any cute thing na useful tas ibigay mo lang. Her smile after receiving it will really brighten your day because trust me, it worked for me. Sobrang worth it.

15. Sobrang caring niya, and thoughtful. May ibang times nga na kapag naggive up na ako sa isang project, siya na mismo yung gumagawa eh. Pero syempre i never took it for granted, kaya ikaw din. Never. Take. Her. For. Granted. She deserves the best arayt?

16. She lovesss dogs. Esp golden retrievers and pugs, send her pics of them every once in a while yeah?

17. She hates ketchup and extravagant food. She prefers food na comfortable para sakanya na kainin and yung simple lang. Take her somewhere na di niyo pa napupuntahan, she likes adventures instead of being cooped up lang sa isang room.

18. She has a vast knowledge about OPM songs, hilig nga din niya dun eh. Pero depende din naman yun sa mood niya, minsan naaapektuhan ng kanta yung mood niya tas nadadama na niya talaga hahaha.

19. Straightforward siya, sobra. Ipopoint out lang naman niya kapag may something na mali or iba sayo, and it’s for your sake din. (i actually got angry lagi dati pero ngayon ko lang talaga narealize na she was doing it for me)

21. Mahilig kumuha ng pictures, lalo na kapag nature. She has nice shots, pwede na mag photographer char

22. Hyper and halipaparot, minsan lonely kaya don’t ever leave her alone.

23. Remind her to always drink water and eat at the right time, minsan nakakalimutan niya kasi uminom ng tubig eh.. pero i trust na you’ll take care of her.

24. Tinatago niya minsan (or lagi..) kapag may sakit siya, alagaan mo nalang siya in subtle ways and don’t overdo it. Magugulat ka nalang na ang init na pala niya o masakit na yung ulo.

25. Conscious yan sa cheeks niya, kasi feeling niya yun lang yung tumataba sakanya. Kaya ayun, di na tuloy kumakain masyado hahaha. She’s still beautiful kahit medj chubby na cheeks niya, sabihin mo yan lagi kasi it’s true.

26. Mahilig siyang magpalibre wahaha pero minsan nahihiya lang o kaya nagpapabebe pa, nag iipon kasi lagi yan eh hmp.

27. Kapag matagal na kayo, minsan nawawala siya sa mood makipag usap. And please respect that nalang, lalo na’t baka may problema siya or nag ooverthink. Paalalahanin mo lang na andyan ka lang lagi para sakanya.

28. Okay oh god. Pinipigilan ko na luha ko at this point. Siguro alam mo naman kung gano ko siya minahal kaya please.. PLEASE. paki ingatan.

29. Funny, witty, and charming siya. like how????

30. Eto. Sobrang importante. Brad, (or besshy whatevs u want to be called) Siguro alam mo naman na din diba? She is so beautiful. You’re doing a good job whenever you remind her she’s beautiful. Panlabas nga niya e, kay ganda na. What more pa sa loob? Whenever bagong gising siya, puro muta, tulo laway man o magulo ang buhok, beautiful. Kapag tumatawa siya nang sobra, na yung tipong minsan tumataas yung boses niya, beautiful. Kapag nanghahampas siya o nananakit kasi natutuwa o nahihiya, beautiful. Kapag nagtatago yan kasi umiiyak or pinipigilan umiyak, beautiful. Kapag tinanggal na niya glasses niya, beautiful. Kapag she’s drenched from the rain, adorably beautiful. Kapag haggard na haggard siya after walking long distances tapos mainit, still..beautiful. Kapag nag i love you na yan sayo.. everything would feel right. She’s breathtaking, and everything would feel wonderful din. She’s not just a pretty girl, and instead, she is so much more. Keeper yan.

31. Clingy yan. Cute nga eh. Never ever call her annoying, or anything na makakapag overthink sakanya.

32. BTS stan and k-drama lover. Wag maapektuhan kapag masyado na niyang crush oppa niya, ikaw padin naman number one sa puso niya hehe. Also, give her time din kung gusto niya manood or what.

33. Watches anime and reads manga. Nothing to say here.

34. Lagi siyang involved sa mga school activities, gusto niyang magka award talaga. Kaya gagawin niya talaga lahat para makuha yung mga yon. Support her, always.

35. Ipush mo siya sa mga gusto niyang salihan pero takot lang, makakayanan niya yun promise. Basta ipush mo lang ng ipush.

36. Hold her hand. Even if sabihin niyang pasmado siya, then hawakan mo padin. Kiss her on the forehead to let her know that you love her. Make her feel super appreciated.

37. Scratch her back slowly kahit wala pa siyang sinasabi, she loves it. Run your fingers through her hair, and wag kang maaannoy kapag binalik niya kamay mo sa buhok niya after mo tanggalin hehe.

38. Wag na wag mong gagaguhin. Kapag ginago mo yan, hala sige. Lagot ka sa mga kaibigan niyan, lalo na saakin. She’s a very sweet and lovable person, bakit mo gagaguhin?

39. She has her own way of expressing her feelings for you m'kay? Be patient and kind.

40. Marunong siyang umintindi ng tao, lalo na pag kaclose. Observant din yan nukaba, sobrang wise pa. Hindi din yan nagsusugar coat kaya be ready.

41. Lagi mong iparamdam na worth it siya ha? salamat.

42. Complicated siyang tao, pero kahit ganun never give up on her. Try mo intindihin kahit hindi mo talaga maintindihan, try ka lang ng try.

43. Love her hard.

All in all, ayan. Madami ka pang madidiscover sakanya, maybe may mga nabago din sa mga sinabi ko, maybe wala. Gusto ko lang alagaan mo yan kasi sobraaang worth it. To be honest, gustong gusto ko na siya bumalik saakin. Pero kung masaya na talaga siya sayo, then sige. I’m happy that she’s happy na she found someone new. Pasayahin mo lang, treat her like a princess/bestfriend. Be there for her lagi, especially when she needs you. Give her the love that she deserves, kasi she is worth it. You are so so damn lucky alam mo ba yun? Kaya do your best to keep her, Goodluck and cheers! I wish you both the best :)

Jet Wolf Summarizes Act 31

The manga and I kind of hate each other. This is unfortunate, but still, I’m determined to come out of this with something. Rather than spend energy on a liveblog that’s increasingly negative, I’m reading each manga act (mostly) silently, and then writing up summaries at the end. I won’t pull my punches. There’s going to be criticism and snark about the manga, either wholesale or in details. If that isn’t a thing you feel like reading, please skip this post!

A philosophical question opens our exploration of the manga today: Is it better to be irritated or bored? Because on the one hand, aggravation is hardly the most pleasant of experiences, particularly when it seems inevitable from issue to issue to issue. But on the other, IT KEEPS ME THE FUCK AWAKE AND GIVES ME SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.

SOMETHING I SEEM TO BE LACKING AT THE MOMENT

It’s not even that things didn’t happen, so much as I just didn’t CARE. And I mean “care” in this very specific manga context of critically low caring. But somehow even beyond the usual dull void that I’ve come to associate with the manga. Maybe it was that PE liveblog from earlier, maybe it reset my enjoyment levels so high that I’m simply insulated from its usual side effects.

But that isn’t going to get a summary written, so let’s fucking do this.

We open with Setsuna studying THINGS and also STUFF. There is DATA and SPIKES and TROUBLES. Also Reika shows up, for what generally appears to be no other reason than to seethe with jealousy of every little thing Motoki says, and intentionally trying to trap and punish him.

I dislike Motoki and Reika in the anime, but it’s on Motoki’s because he turns into a non-communicative petulant three year old for approximately no reason. In the manga, it’s pretty clear Reika is just a legitimately crappy human being no one should have a committed relationship with. THANKS FOR FLIPPING THAT SCRIPT MANGA GIRL POWER

Kaolinite and Tomoe meet with Pharaoh 90, who I have to say sounds like a fairly reasonable boss for a planet-sized eldritch horror.

I wonder if they have a vision plan and 401k matching. Also they talk a lot about crystals and lights and blah blah of course they do.

Kaolinite feels less job satisfaction than Tomoe, proving that even evil world-dominating organizations aren’t free from the patriarchy. She delegates to Tellu, who you may remember from the anime as “the plant one”, and that’s basically as much as you’re going to get from her in the manga, too.

In a rare burst of minor detail continuity, Chibi-Usa’s class gets their ceramic project back. Chibs, if you’ll recall from last time, made Mamoru make her a holy grail, and then smiled creepily as he and Usagi made out on top of it. The class also gets their new homework.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME “GIVE AWAY YOUR GARBAGE” IS THE FUCKING ASSIGNMENT

FOR THE WHOLE GODDAMN WEEK

NOT EVEN WRITE AN ESSAY ABOUT HOW IT MADE YOU FEEL OR GIVE A PRESENTATION ABOUT THE WONDERS OF GIVING IT’S JUST FUCKING HAND SOME SHIT OVER AND THAT’S IT YOU CAN AN “A” FOR THE WEEK

“HERE MS. GARBAGE CAN YOU’RE IMPORTANT TO ME WELL THAT’S DONE TIME TO FUCK OFF UNTIL NEXT MONDAY”

Clearly the only part worth noting is that Chibs decides to give hers to Hotaru on the basis of two entire conversations and with the full justification of “she’s beautiful and mysterious”.

SEEMS LEGIT

Chibs is about the only one to feel like this about Hotaru, it seems. At school, Hotaru’s getting picked on and laughed at and when she’s had enough and crushes a pencil case with her bare hand while looking one of the Mean Girls dead in the eye, they’re like “ohmigawd what is her DEAL” and write about her in their Burn Book.

At Crown, Usagi watches the rain fall and Has Emotions. She says she wants to talk to Haruka and Michiru, but she really means Haruka because she will make exactly zero effort to talk to Michiru later because fuck Michiru, I guess. She wants Mako and Ami to help, but they’re busy, and Usagi pouts about it. Rei and Minako are feeling each other up in an alleyway and having a considerably better time than any one of us right now.

Mako’s “busy” means she’s doing shit with the gardening club, which will be our exposition vehicle for today. There’s apparently a hot new plant everyone’s talking about (WHY DOES NOBODY HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO IN TOKYO) called a “Tellurian”, which seems completely safe and certain to cause no problems.

At Crown -- oh maybe we were at Juuban Middle earlier. Well, let’s roll with it -- Ami meets up with Minako and Rei, whose clothes are disheveled and they won’t quite make eye contact. But Ami has Theories And Ideas and thankfully doesn’t notice. “Infinity Academy is evil!” they put forth, because they didn’t already conclude that three issues ago. Usagi’s also doing work. She’s found Google, and it’s amazing.

On the way home, Mako passes by a random flower shop with Tellurians in stock which is a pretty awesome trick seeing as how just a few pages ago we were told they were only available at Mugen and were selling out. Since it’s Mako’s issue, she buys one.

As Usagi arrives home, Chibs is getting ready to go out. You know, I just realized we haven’t seen Mamoru at all yet? I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING THIS ISSUE IS TO BE REVERED AS AN INSTANT CLASSIC. Usagi invites herself to also go to Hotaru’s, so she has a front row seat to Chibs giving her gift-to-my-most-important-person holy grail to Hotaru.

“Hotaru?! This is only your fourth conversation with her, how could you give it to Hotaru!”

“STFU Usagi, you rode a haunted bus and followed Aunt Rei home with hearts in your eyes before you’d even said hello.”

And this is how Usagi came to accept that Chibi-Usa was, truly, her daughter.

Unfortunately Hotaru can’t stop being creepy for five fucking minutes, and she stares at them with endless eye voids and passes out and tries to take Chibs’ ginzuishou and has a creepy fucking voice font

and god damn, Chibs, you should maybe vet your potential future girlfriends just a little.

Usagi misses all this though as she’s busy nosing around the house. Tomoe finds her and scares the shit out of her, so she and Chibs leave just in time to catch a glimpse of Pluto on the streets. Chibs suddenly remembers she’s supposed to care about Pluto, and all of this would have just meant so much more if she hadn’t been “I guess I’m Pluto now lol” over her still-warm corpse just a few issues ago. EMOTIONAL CONTINUITY IS IMPORTANT TAKEUCHI

Is it Mako’s apartment or a hydroponics lab? They don’t have time to think about it, as Mako and Minako both immediately pass out. When they wake up, all of Mako’s plants are dead, except the Tellurian, so Mako pulls a knife out of nowhere like she’s Doc fucking Holligay and shanks it. Seems legit.

Usagi and Chibs are about to head home when all the girls arrive at the train station (don’t ask me how all that timing makes sense just go with it). They’re going to confront ... someone, like I sincerely don’t know what they fucking learned in any of this that they didn’t figure out issues ago, but sure. Usagi’s going to go too, but then she spots Haruka and Michiru and chases after them, instead. WAY TO BACK UP YOUR GIRLS USAGI.

Remember how she said she wanted to talk to both of them?

EVEN WHEN MICHIRU’S ALSO THERE SHE’S NOT THERE

Usagi goes to Haruka’s apartment and is all “WHY WON’T YOU TALK TO ME” and Haruka’s like “I wear mini-skirts now, Usagi, stop trying to make it weird.”

So the other Senshi drag her ass back to the task at hand, and they explore Mugen’s botanical gardens which the school of course absolutely has. People are dead (or not, no one ever cares), and the Senshi feel their strength fading. Tellu emerges, sounding exactly like every other member of the Witches 5 before her, ONLY SHE’S THE PLANT ONE YOU GUYS.

Then Setsuna ... awakens as Pluto? Or something? And Haruka automatically teleports to her (Michiru is also there), which seems a weird thing to have happen to Senshi who are supposed to be constantly isolated and independent but fine.

Ah shit, Mamoru got a page. WE WERE SO CLOSE TO BEING FREE

Mako attacks, as does Usagi, but no good. So Chibs wishes REALLY REALLY HARD.

If that fucking works, my next trip to the DMV just got SO much shorter.

Chibs gets a rod too and attacks, and to the surprise of no one, it does absolutely nothing, but I for one appreciate the effort. Then Pluto Dead Screams Tellu in the fucking face, and we’re one more mini-boss down.

Everyone is shocked, shocked I tell you!

fireyfobbitmedicine submitted: Hey Jet I edited Haruka into a one piece.

But if that still doesn’t fly w/ you I also photoshopped a tank top and shorts onto her

Combined them both into one post. THE SECOND LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER FOR HER THANK YOU IT WAS MAKING ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE

[keyofjetwolf]

I have the 1000s Edition print of this, and while I’ve always liked it okay (she said, having not read the manga before now), I could never hang it up because I absolutely refuse to accept Haruka voluntarily wearing a bikini.

whelp it’s MURDER TIME CHILDREN

(I kid, bud. Maybe.)

NO I REALIZE I PRESS MY LUCK FURTHER AND FURTHER DAILY

I know a lot of people love her art, and as always, more power to them. Art was never going to sell me, though, so at best it was just going to be okay. I said back before Crystal actually had a name that I’d be fine with the reboot being done with paper bag puppets so long as the writing was good, and I stand by that. Great story can totally overcome shitty art for me, but the best art in the world is never going to sell me if the story sucks.

Also, sincerely, it bugs the HELL out of me that practically all of Takeuchi’s iconic looks and outfits aren’t even fucking hers.

docholligay replied to your post: After a certain point I just accepted the manga...

my biggest problem with these outfits is they never seem to really reflect the girl they’re on

I’m so used to no thought being put into character shit at this point that I don’t even think about it, but basically, yeah. I mean mock the Very Nineties outfits of the anime all you want, AND IT WOULD BE FAIR, but at least those wardrobes were designed with character front and center.

[keyofjetwolf]

After a certain point I just accepted the manga was about three things: pretty outfits, pretty hair, terrible jokes.

I realize that with every word I edge closer to sacrilege, but I don’t even (PERSONALLY) think the art is that great. THE HAIR’S OKAY I GUESS. But even with the outfits, it seems a full half of Takeuchi’s designs are lifted directly from fashion designers, so I mean.

ayu-ohseki replied to your post: “Jet Wolf Summarizes Act 31”:

Motoki doesn't even say anything out of line?? Like, I could understand Reika being mad if Motoki took that as an opportunity to be gross, but he didn't say anything stronger than she just said.

And this is after Reika has a tiny meltdown because Motoki MENTIONS MAKO’S NAME

SERIOUSLY

In the next panel she’s all grumpy “WHATEVER”, and then the next, lays her trap about Setsuna.

MANGA REIKA IS A TERRIBLE HUMAN PASS IT ON

Okay, in all seriousness, there shouldn’t be a ‘pressing you luck’ thing happening when it comes to your own opinion. If people get into a twist that you don’t like her art, that’s on THEM and you shouldn’t feel guilt or frightened in expressing that.

Oh I’m joking for the sake of funsies. I SURVIVED THE BACKLASH DURING MY STARS LIVEBLOGS I CAN SURVIVE ANYTHING.

I have to say though, for all that I haven’t been enjoying the manga much at all and not been silent about that, I’m so happy to say that I’ve had practically zero push back about it. A little in the beginning, but otherwise, everything’s been quiet. I NEVER would’ve called that after four solid years of passionate manga fans coming at me every other day before I’d even STARTED reading the bloody thing, but here we are.

I can only assume that after so long, everyone who knew they were going to hate what I had to say just blocked the shit out of me. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY SHOULD DO I SAY THAT WITH FULL SUPPORT AND ADMIRATION. I’m not enjoying this work of fiction and not making a secret of it. People who wouldn’t enjoy hearing me talk about it took measures to not see it. Nobody gives anybody crap for their differing opinions, and everyone’s a thousand times happier for it. This is EXACTLY the way it should be, in my view. Still, experience has shown me that they’re the exception rather than the rule, and I for one am super proud of the manga fans.

AND IT IS MINA STABBING THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF BERYL

I was thinking that was more a detail than the broad strokes answer I thought the question was looking for, but if we expand that to “someone other than Usagi gets to kill the Big Bad” THEN OKAY YES

[keyofjetwolf]

Jet what's worse: seeing Mamoru all the damn time or seeing Mamoru in one single panel in one chapter

Oh Mamoru all the fucking time, no question.

I can rip one page out of my manga and lose very little, it’s harder to pull out 2/3rds of the fucking story.

[keyofjetwolf]

If nobody else feels the need to tell me where the sword ends on that manga cover I will die happy.
