Thread: Manga: Kekkaishi

  1. #21
    I'm waiting for Yoshimori to start kicking some ass... not interested in what has been going on at the moment with the other characters. And the Masamori scene has been dragged out too long. Come on, let's have Yoshi kick some ass. Though it seems that starting with the next chapter he'll finally get involved, even if it's just to avoid another Gen situation.

    They are really milking the expectation of Yoshimori's new mode. Everyone reads the chapter expecting it will come out, only to be disappointed and teased. This has been going for many chapters now.

    I sure hope he is monstrously different in that mode. Otherwise, the wait won't be worth it.

    Monstrously different indeed. Yoshimori's landlord looks absolutely awesome. Definitely worlds better than the fish his brother has.

    Here's 268:

    The landlords was really good, though with all the buildup it was kinda of a letdown. Not the landlord, but I expected to see Yoshimori kicking more ass rather than simply standing in one place with doing same old kekkaishis, just reinforced. Other than that, good chapters. Now let's finish up this arc, and move on to the next.

    Up to 276 at the moment:

    http://mangashare.com/manga/Kekkaishi

    If you're looking to catch up, I think now would be a prettty good time. Yoshimori is finally becoming a bit of a badass and kicking some ass. We also learn the real nature of Karasumori, though it has been hinted at quite a few times.

    277 was a bit confusing particularly how the fight ended so abrubtly. I was waiting for Yoshimori to kick some real ass, but got cheated out of it. I wonder why Ougi came back though, doesn't make sense at the moment.

    Well I wouldn't say it was disappointing, it was definitely unexpected but I've come to expected the unexpected when it comes to this series. Half of the reason I love it so much is because I can never tell what the hell is going to happen next, which is rare, really rare. By definition shonen series are usually cliched and predictable.

    I think Ougi is there to apologize. He seems to like Yoshimori and he has been trying to endear himself to Yoshimaru so apologizing now would be in character. Plus he did accidentally attack Sangou so he is probably going to try to explain himself and set the record straight. That's my guess anyway.

    I think Abdula is right, apology is definitely in the works followed with a bit of concern. I think that Ougi is interested Yoshimaru and would like to know him alot better. His reasons can be many and quite cliche but i have really come to like this manga series....


    Damn of the reasons I try not to read manga that isn't complete is that I can't stand waiting for the next issue and it never seems to be enough.

    Same here, Kekkaishi is one of only about five or six series that fall into that category though. The other 2 or 3 dozen series I read are just to hold me over.

    Well finally decided to catch up with this series, who else is up to date?

    Looks like we're in the final stages of the series from what I can see.

    I am up to date on this series. It does seem like we are on the final stretch. But I think there are about 25 or more chapters to go. There are a lot of things that can be done with what they have so far.

    Kekkaishi is finally over, it was a good run. I felt the author could have done a better job wrapping things up though.

    That was a horrible ending.

    Yoshimori trained for 2 volumes, and didn't even fight a single battle. There was so much build up, but all we so was him creating stuff in a separate world. I wanted him to at least beat that wind shinigami guy.

    The confession(?) deserves the question mark because it was so half-assed. It needed another chapter focused on the main character for the epilogue. Again, so much build up on the relationship between the two, and they just left it like that. This pair deserved a more concrete show of mutual affection.

    That was the whole point, Kekkai jutsu CAN be used for fighting but Yoshi used it for creation instead.

    The confession was definitely half-assed, after all that subtle flirting they had going on for years i can't believe we didn't even got a kiss out of the whole thing.

    That conclusion could have been achieved and impressed on the reader AFTER a few awesome battles. You don't need to deprive readers of great action just to make a point. Both could have been done without sacrifice.
