Isn't kimetsu no yaiba "the demon sword of destruction" or some such jazz in English? I'd day Demon Slayer is a better name then that if my memory is correct.
I guess having a catchy English name helps with marketing while retaining the Japanese name to please purists.

Thats what i was thinking, because Id call the people that post here the extreme market and not necessarily the casual market. I wonder if casual manga/comic audiences are super averse to Japanese titles.
It just means Kodansha needs to step up their game. Attack on Titan to be rebranded: Titan Attacker: Shingeki no Kyojin

Oddly enought, I remember being a casual and buying the first volume of Shokugeki, and I probably would have shrugged and moved on truthfully if it was just another series with a japanese name. In hindsight Food Wars is a silly title, but it did convey the concept to me clearly back then and probably made me give it a chance.
Weird I know, but it's hard once we're in the bubble of paying attention understand what non-manga fans feel like. So that experience came to mind.
Viz will counter with their newest branding Hunter Hunter: HunterxHunter because fans were confused whether or not to pronounce the X in the original.

Hunter Hunter: Hunter x Hunter: Hunter^2: Hunter * Hunter: Hunter/Hunter: (1+hunter)(Hunter+1)
Don't forget subtraction. It has to retain all parts of PEMDAS to be a good title.
Me and my friends all love Gon's adventures in HUNTER X

And every chapter is Killua and Gon talking about the dangers of homosexuality and how one day they each hope to have wives and two children despite ignoring the women around them to stare into each other's eyes.

I thought it was a way to give it an english name but also keep the Japanese one.
Kinda like what the newest Resident Evil/Biohazard game did with its name.

Hey, a Sonic chapter. He's still a thing. That's good.
His boy Gale Wind totally reminds me of that one guy from Fist of the North Star who claimed to be the most beautiful fighter.

Her stalking tendencies lead me to think she's probably a loving bully.

Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki ch34
He became even more overpowered, huh. Still, ti's weird to think that he somehow manages to stay on top of things and discover new techniques first while playing casually, as in any decently popular MMO there always will be hordes of farmers that have unlocked everything before you even get to play.
Real life MMOs are nowhere as romantic as any of the isekai-type fiction wants you to belive.
That's also how binds work in Etrian Odyssey, lol.

Someone get this girl a fake moustache to twirl. This backs up everyone's suspicions, namely that Mimika only has eyes for Yuzumori and isn't a general ■■■■■■■. Not sure if Ririha's ire stems from her classmate's effortless cuteness or because she lacks 'idiot' traits, but either way this'll likely end without too much bloodshed.

Ninja in EO3 and Nightseeker in EO4 are functionally pretty similar, and it looks like Reaper in EO5 is another successor, so at least the Dark Hunter's legacy lives on.

Too bad interest for H. Tomizawa works has faded. Alien 9 was phenomenal.
Milk Closet was bizarre. Spaceship Yumihari was only available online in a digital subscription manga and now I cant find any trace.
Now he works on a new title but not even one chapter is fan translated.

Last manga i've read from alien 9 author was battle royale 2. Can't say i like it
Kengan Asura latest
Can't be blinded if you're alredy blind before the fight even begun.
New game 49
Surprisingly the norm in the industry. I think .hack GU use Yoshiyuki Sadamoto key art while the character design is by someone else.
It's like Goichi Suda and Akiyuki Shinbo, making it looks like they're the one who direct the game but its actually the other guy

The art in Battle Royale 2 completely killed the series for me
There are always bind-focused classes in the EO games.

Yeah, I heard it was shit all around. I just didn't really care to read it past the first few pages thanks to the art style which I can only describe as "Tezuka's drunken doodles on a used, crumpled tissue filled with snot"
Yes but not bind focused dominatrixes.
Tomizawa is actually a pretty competent artist, but it didn't suit something like Battle Royale at all.

I was not expecting that. The fuck.

Battle Royal wasnt that good. Though his expertise from the Alien 9 interview was industrial design. Hence the drills in that manga were so well designed
I'd like at least to read a chapter of Enchant Land. About a high school student who has to solve various riddles and mysteries at school.
No romance are confirmed, only teasing.
Fucking Kubo did a better ending than you Hiro, go away you hack!
Oh and Mavis and Zeref are reincarnated at some party and we see them meet.

They are both gonna lose handily.
Perfect trace is still such a silly ability to win competitions.
But all his panels are amazing, so I'm fine with it.
One Piece 873
Chapter too short, break too long.
Gah.
Really wanna know how they get out of that one. Will Sanji cook something?

Kaguya-sama: Love is War! (yes, that's what they're calling it) - caught up to 72 This is was a fun read that kept me smiling most of the way through. Though I did notice one thing, I feel like there is waaaaay more focus on cute reaction faces in the later half, and about a quarter is just Kaguya looking cute. Which she is. She's freaking adorable, but the cute faces are kind of samey by this point with a few noticeable exceptions. Also damn that fireworks chapter was way more potent than I thought this manga could get.

I still think Mimasaka still has a slight chance of winning. Though its more like 20% chance compared to the other two's 0%.

poor Aoba. At least she's understanding. But spending a week on something that won't be chosen must not be that great.

Does anyone here have Monster Perfect Edition Volume 1?
Yea, that was pretty heartwarming; she missed out on all the fireworks because she couldn't stop staring at his face, lol
In all honesty, I hope they end this series in the near future because their shtick will get old eventually (it's already starting to feel a bit stagnant) and I'd rather they end it before the quality takes a major hit.
Though I suppose there will be at least a couple more major arcs to work through, especially some pertaining to Kaguya's miserable family situation.
