Kimetsu no Yaiba 205: The last chapter. This was actually in last week’s Jump, but I’m slipping it in now because, well, it was the last chapter and this was a great series. I’ll probably make a full video about it at some point, but it didn’t feel right to not include it. This was actually a very interesting way to do an epilogue chapter in a way that gives a happy ending despite how much tragedy we went through to get to this point. I’ve got a lot I want to say about the series overall, which in storytelling terms was a very simple one, but this particular chapter was just such a nice way to end everything. Through reincarnation we could see so many familiar faces and it almost feels like everyone got their happy ending. Being less than charitable, you could call this cheesy, but maybe because of the emotional rollercoaster of the final confrontation, I for one am happy to let it slide. A fantastic manga in the end, and I hope to see the rest adapted to anime form.

Kuroshitsuji 164: Quite the change of pace. Most of this chapter was Mei-Lin’s transformation from a raggedy assassin everyone thinks is a boy to a much more feminine maid. Including getting her glasses. Can’t say it was that engaging, even with the seamstress’s extrovert personality, but as a breath of relief after a pretty intense flashback full of assassination attempts and kids getting thrown off the top of buildings, it was welcome. Will we go back to the present day after this?
