'My Senpai Is Annoying' Workplace Romantic Comedy Manga Gets TV Anime by Doga Kobo
Been reading that one for a while. It's not anything amazing, but its enjoyable and I could see an anime adaptation being decent. She looks like a loli.

Gonna toot my own horn for a sec and point out that I called Kakushikoto 4 years ago.
Did end up being probably my favorite from this last season, though I do gotta still finish BNA. Looking ahead to summer I don't see anything that really grabs my interest. I'm surprised you haven't seen Usagi Drop if you enjoyed Kakushigoto

At its pace, it will make it to top 2 romance centric shows I've seen and if that's the case, both shows are based on yuri. Honestly don't remember much about that show. Main girl didn't feel special or have heart fluttering during any confessions and when she spent time with them. She likes the characters, but no special connections yet Taller girl, having been in the same situation as her found her relatable and the fact that this main girl can't love anyone makes taller girl falls in love (this was the weird bit for me but it fleshes out well so far) Main girl already provides the bottom line, no BS statement saying is it ok to truly be loved by taller girl if it's only going to be one sided and from time to time would say she may never love her but she will be by her side since she is who taller girl needs the most Main girl tries to change, tries to force develop her love, but to no avail (so far). Will try to find out what she can love about taller girl but so far she doesn't love taller girls' ideal cover up personality or her real personality. Taller girl doesn't want her to change since that's the person she fell in love and is accepting of an unrequited love. That's quite the circumstance

SIDONIA MOVIE IN 2021!! Hopefully they focus more on the lore of space and the creatures they fight rather than the SOL. The SOL harem thing killed it for me in S2.

So I rewatched the last episode and I can see why I don't remember it. It doesn't really end so I looked up news for S2. While the anime only aired a couple of years ago, I didn't see any kind of announcements.
The show wasn't bad, but it didn't hit hard I guess.

The show wasn't bad, but it didn't hit hard I guess. The less drama, the more communication , the better. So far no shitty love triangle or polygon . Excess has been cut off. I.e. no dragging the confession to last episode Haven'tfinished yet but I doubt a story like this needs another season at its pace

Also, from the preview, MC is dating with Penis-chan, so there will be no more harem, I guess?

The Gauna and Hoshijiro's transformations is that element in Sidonia, among other things.

So I rewatched the last episode and I can see why I don't remember it. Episode 12 also wasn't as strong as the previous episode. The show wasn't bad, but it didn't hit hard I guess. Nah. It was great. Checked the boxes I like that most romances fail to do. Did not focus on the things bad romances tend to do. It also created an interesting twist, focused on character development (obviously not done overall), had good direction, and visuals were good.
Compared to outside romance genre, yeah, not the best, but certainly, I would say top of the romance chain on romance focused plots.

I think not having an ending is what doesn't advance this show to top tiers. It just leaves you hanging. It is good with subtleties, but there's no really memorable highs. Honestly, I barely remember any moments from the show and I wasn't even bored with it. I still think Tsuki Ga Kirei is the best romance show.

They're probably testing the waters in terms of how much money they can get before adapting another season. Trying to shove the play and everything else in one episode is a bad idea. 12 episodes would probably be too fast to finish adapting the manga. While it doesn't have a decisive conclusion, it was already on pace to be the best, so I'm going to value as high with expectation of it returning. I have Tsuki Ga Kirei in my top 3 still, so that's also a good choice.

Zipang is such a hidden treasure. They are great at executing the dynamics between different groups much better than Gate

Act-Age just got abrubtly axed by WSJ because the managaka got arrested today for sexually assaulting two middle school girls in public (recorded groping them from behind on CCTV) It's pretty crazy news. A lot of fans are hoping that least the artist (a woman by the way) gets more work in the future

Dunno but from my understanding the series was already announced to be cancelled - purely because of this incident. Wild thing is that apparently the incident happened in june and it's only now that hes been arrested

The Act-Age manga does seem to be a unique synopsis. Shame it'll never get adapted. Act-Age just got abrubtly axed by WSJ because the managaka got arrested today for sexually assaulting two middle school girls in public (recorded groping them from behind on CCTV) He could have just paid an older girl to grab her titties considering the manga was increasingly successful. A lot of fans are hoping that least the artist (a woman by the way) gets more work in the future She should. If she gets blackballed because of what another guy does, that's idiotic.

Since it is an author-illustrator series, can Shueisha just commission another decent writer to continue the series? Considering Shounen Jump already axed the series. I doubt they would try to get it back. The artist agreed that it should be discontinued. That and once news spread and become prevalent, any resurrection of the series will be paired with the bad imgery of the original writer's crimes.
Too much investment of trying to bring back its reputation to the former glory days isn't worth enough blocking newer manga authors from trying to get in Shounen Jump
