    That's highly plausible and would probably make for an intense battle. I'm just dreading Felix making a Naruto-esque speach to David about how killing people is wrong, even though he already knows that it's some kind of evil magic monster.

    Btw: The next release looks like its going to be 3 full volumes, so about 21 new chapters. Nice and big... should be exciting!

    That's great.

    I hate to read most manga on weekly chapter basis since there's usually few developments.

    That's just what I wanted to hear man.
    Yeah it's most likely Felix vs David in the finals but first he would have to hold his ground against the son of that Regis Knight. The guy who bare-handedly shattered the sword of his opponent and who is a lot faster than that Sister.

    Well, its been a while since we've gotten a release. The group, Dredshi, who does the Maian releases has been working on becoming a new group, Scantily Clad Scanlations. They just got their new site up and running yesterday, so hopefully they will get the releases going again soon. Looking forward to it.

    Lots and lots of history. Which is good once in a while but...the end of the volume...FUCK! I want the next one RIGHT NOW!

    Hah, a little too much history in this one I think. We got two flashbacks back to back.

    Pretty cool that Felix has awakened the Blood Fines. We don't really know anything about it, other than it is the "Warrior God" power. Hopefully Felix will beat up Vegita, and then we will learn a thing or two about Blood Fines.

    I loved page 49 of volume 7. Reminded me of Bloodsport when Chong Li beat up Jackson real bad and Van Damme was looking up at Chong Li all pissed.

    That was one of the worst cliffhangers ever.

    The stupid flashback took too many pages. No one cares about some guy and his family. The whole story could have been told in 1 chapter.

    I need to see the blood fines now. It was built up so much so I'm expecting something really awesome. I really do hope he manages to beat that whining bastard instead of merely winning the bet by landing one hit.

    Even if he does, I don't think he can properly control his power yet, so it won't be too much of a power up.

    Is volume 9 already out? I want to see the raws even if I won't understand them.

    Seriously, this guy doesn't deserve a full volume flashback when everyone knows he's just going to be demote to sidekick status. If anything, his stupid long flashback makes me dislikes the character even more because of the typical cliche "Everyone we know turning against us because we're monsters" nonsense.

  11. #51
    Yeah, I skipped through almost the entire 2nd flashback. It seemed like it was almost the same as the first one.

    Volume 9 is out, and was supposed to be part of this release, but I guess they decided to wait. I thought it was weird though that these volumes were only 4 chapters each, when all the previous ones were 7 each.

    Pretty epic chapters. The flashback chapters were okay even though I didn't care for him. I like his father's design though.

    Not gonna lie, Koreans seem to have a huge fetish for older woman and younger men relationships.

    Indeed they do.

    I read through the eight volumes this week and while this series is amazingly cliched and veritably prostrates before the shounen textbook, it's still quite entertaining. I guess when you do things right, it works. Not that this story would be doing things quite right but it still manages to work. Like in this fight it bothers me greatly how Felix suddenly lost those awesome movements he had in the previous one. He can't even attempt to evade, for some reason, and just stands still accepting all the punishment like Rocky.

  15. #55
    I don't think it was so much that Felix lost his ability to evade, but rather the guy he was fighting is on a completely different level than the nun. He was managing to block early in the fight, but then the other guy really turned it up. Still...I agree it would have been nice to see him put up a little better fight before the Blood Fines was activated.

    They have a poll up on the site asking if people want Vol 9 as an entire volume all at once, or if we want it as a weekly chapter release. Go vote and tell them we want it now!

    I went and voted as the entire volume. That suits me well. I read most manga anyway by letting them accumulate a bunch of chapters and then reading them back to back. A single chapter feels so bloody short.

    So... who the hell knows when volume 9 will be released now. SC is screwing with everyone and intentionally delaying releasing it. They got mad because people were asking about the release, so now they are screwing everyone else who is waiting patiently for it, when it was their own fault people are asking about it. They had put a post months ago, before they switched to the new site, that vol. 9 would be released with 7 and 8, then they didn't release it. Then they put up a post and a poll about 2 months ago, asking if people would prefer to have it released as a whole volume or as a single chapter each week. They never posted the results of the poll or gave any further information on the release.
    Now, I understand that they are providing this service for free at their own expense and leisure, but, if you make these posts about a release and then don't follow up with the release, people are going to ask you what the deal is. Mind you, I'm not one of the people who was asking about it, but I do understand why people would get impatient after seeing posts announcing the release months ago, but the release never comes. I don't think it is right of them to get mad at those people and use that as an excuse to screw the majority of fans who are waiting patiently for the release.

    Anyway, thats my rant, and thats is the current situation with vol 9. hopefully we will get it soon, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    If you calm down and think for a moment, it's quite obvious they will release it when they have it scanlated. Only a madman would go through all the work needed to scanlate for free and then do nothing with the result. If they aren't releasing it, it means they don't have it ready. Saying they delay it because of fools continuously begging for it is nothing but having extra fun by trolling those same fools. The real reason is elsewhere, either in RL or other interests of the moment.

    I'm perfectly calm, thanks. Like I said, I'm one of the ones waiting patiently. I'm simply relaying the situation on the release, and my thoughts on it.
