History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi

[Cyclone_Baroness]

That's similar to what I said...the underwear issue. Like their country has a shortage...

But You bring up some interesting points. I actually am only curious as to the guy's size. This is the first person I can recall that isn't just above average in height and build. He's actually monstrous in size.

I think I might be just so disinterested in this manga right now. I don't care about Miu (especially if she's just gonna be only around for fan service), most of the side characters I'm kinda, meh, about. I just want to see how Kenichi progresses. I read it cause It gives me something to fill in the gaps of free time I have at work. My list of manga must increase! So I can't really drop it.

I'm gonna hope back what I think about our main characters and just mention this new monster character. I like him. He's huge, he's a threat, and we've learned just enough about him so he isn't an asspull. I'm just so glad this wasn't another one of those "master class," fighters that just show up, bury the disciples, and get humiliated by the real masters. I hated that dreadlock-wearing swordsman (though I admit Apa needed someone to punch), and that crazy-eyed politician. This Sankan guy, thanks to what we know about the Demon fist, has way more character then those last two guys, and thanks to his monster-like disposition I have fewer questions be his sudden appearance.

It's like what Toriko does sometimes, whereas Bleach or Naruto might introduce powerhouses with little character, that series has powerhouses with no character because it's a monster. If you want a powerful character to suddenly appear, creating a monster is the best method. With dreadlock swordsman, I wonder how long he spent perfecting his craft to the point he could be a master, but not defend himself against a elderly midget with a stick or a dead man. With Sankan, I can see how he came to be--Demon Fist is just a kind of messed up guy. I hope this somehow changes things so shallow masters never appear again, but I doubt that'll happen.

The fact of the matter is that this manga has uber elite fodder. I know it may sound weird but that's how it is and the author can hardly waste time developing every fodder can he?

I just can't wait till this arc is over. I hate nothing more than anything that deals with Mind Manipulation/Amnesia. I hate crap like that.

Sakaki has full body bandages in this pic http://www.batoto.net/read/_/81130/h...erial-scans/14 and they're suddenly gone on the next page lol http://www.batoto.net/read/_/81130/h...erial-scans/15

He is a master...they do that in split seconds.

Damnit Miu your crotch yet again ruins what could be awesome fight scenes .

Kenichi was really cool this chapter. I feel like there had been a lack of it lately. And glad the others finally popped up. Next chapter should be even better...I hope.

Seems like Miu is wearing panties (although it might as well be a thong...).

She's not...he's trying to just full out draw it, but lines are missing here and there in other shots...Bleh. Alright I'm done.

Looking forward to next week and to hopefully be done with this amnesia thing...

[RPG KING]

its probably a shadow. Kenichi was bad ass in this chapter again though. Miu just wake up and put some underwear on.

Late response with the chapter. Well I have those two masters regardless. You may be right, but something about a character appearing, having some guy say "that's a master," and suddenly we're supposed to believe that only another master can save them grates at me. It's a scenario with only one conclusion...a master needs to save them. That's boring.

It's even worse when, I remember some characters better then the sword guy and politician master. The master from the D&D tournament and the dad of that blonde pigtail girl.
Hopefully that's enough to remember them, but here goes.The former was present throughout the arc, and his being a master was a nice twist. The latter had about a chapter of fighting with the Shinpaku alliance where they survived despite injuries and an overwhelming enemy who shattered the earth around him. These guys were interesting and good things came from them. Meanwhile those other guys were OHKO's. Hell, politician master was more worried about freaking acorns then the actual attacks of the shinpaku alliance, and he sucked. Yes, I know the masters are far stronger, but something about that bothers me. This story is about the growth of the disciples...and fanservice...and sometimes the masters overshadow them a little too much.

Back to this chapter, I think it's been established that undies don't exist in this country. I forget if they mention where this is taking place, but I assume it's some sort of reverse Islamic nation where the women have to wear less clothes. Probably some places Matsuena wishes existed. What's weird though, is that these butt shots seem phoned in don't they? I think the guy is actually getting bored of this.

Also, this chapter actually has me excited for the master battle. With this chaos, Miu confused and Kenichi injured they can create a lot of suspense. On top of it all, this is another master fight where I actually care cause this master actually matters.

Well Li Tenmon (Blond girl Raichi's father) was one of the very first masters we got of Yomi and a foreshadowing of the level of power Yomi has and what was to come. And Fortuna is the effin boss villain of the best arc of the series. So off course, they got susbtantial development. It's just something we gotta accept you know? It's either waste time developing every master or screw up the whole power system or just let be Masters be fodder for masters. It's a very weird situation off course and I think it's pretty unique to only Kenichi but there you go. If you're bored, well they're fodder so their fights are hardly supposed to be super exciting. Unfortunately the author has written himself into a corner where the power gaps are just too high between ranks. He does it well and balances it quite well and make sure everyone gets his turn in a fight but...there's that inherent problem with such a system.

(But yeah, I hated the fight against that politician too, I was expecting another epic battle like against Fortuna and instead we got Sakaki bailing them out at the first punch? Lame).

[mcdreamy]

I can't even begin to predict how this arc will end. I just hope there's a lasting emotional effect on Kenichi and Miu. And Junazard brainwashed Miu into thinking that Hongo was her enemy so maybe she'll attack him again?

Indeed, there was a lack of badass Kenichi. It's time he levels up.

Also, Miu's crotch is blank. She has Barbie anatomy.

Ikr? The author managed to make the chapter without a single panel of Kenichi and Miu. On to next week xD.

I think that this series would really benefit from a time-skp right now. Allow all of the younger fighters to take a few levels in power, while not berating he masters.

[RPG KING]

with one piece it was ok but with kenichi I want to see his development. chapter was ok. not much fan service but that back shoot of the princess

[onemoment]

This chapter only adds evidence to my theory that Matsuena is somehow bored of drawing pantless Miu. It's kinda scary, I don't know what would push Matseuna into making an entire chapter about war and dudes fighting each other, but it happened. Hell, that one back shot of the princess (which I didn't even notice until RPG King mentioned it) looks flat and bland--clearly secondary to the action in this chapter.

I'm now entertaining a fantasy that Matsuena has been pushing for pantless Miu in a long time, his editor finally gave in, and now that he's got it it's nowhere near as fun as he thought it'd be. He may just be going through a personal crisis where he'll grow as a person.

I also didn't care about this chapter. With Hongo here I keep thinking back to his fight with Sakaki, and I freaking hated that arc.

[Cyclone_Baroness]

I chuckled. I know these are supposed to be manly men, but the abs being easily seen through Hongo's coat cracks me up. Wearing satin to a fight might feel nicer though.

I'm glad for the lack of fan service, but not much happened really.
