Solid continuation, hopefully we see what the Top of Horns are capable of, and how they compare to the Shinigami.

Other nice chapter this week.

I'm enjoying the world building of Soul Society West Branch.
Wizards taking a dragonbus and London Press turning into a Reverse London Press are examples of littles details that enriches the story and makes me want to know more about this world.

I wonder if Reverse London was created by a magic similar to the method used by the quincies to create the Wandereich.
Maybe magics/kidos are techniques that can be used by all people, but the ones with high spiritual energy have more facility in learning it.

This second chapter was a surprise for me. I really didnt expect the story to cut off the action and jump for another storyline.
At same time I want to see where this story is going - Why Bruno attacked Ninny and What connection he has with Macy - Im afraid it is too much plot for more just 2 chapters.
I wanted it to be a well paced full series:cry:

Images of the Top of Horns in the anime were posted and I enjoyed the job made by the animation studio.
I ranted how some of them resembled other Bleach Characters, but in color they got their own personality.

I really like the world building. Different dragons for different uses is a great idea. Good character depths in these 2 chapters.

Chapter 2 "Ghillie Suit" Trivia

I'll post a review tomorrow.

Kubo's comment from Issue #39: https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/mangaka-musings-08-30-2020
Some of you may have figured it out already, but there will be color pages with every chapter. Come on!

The view count on MangaPlus:
~ Cummulative 196,251
~ Cummulative English 165,702
~ Cummulative Spanish 30,549

The view count on 24th August was 102,421+17,214=119,635. The increase over the week:
~ Total 76,616
~ English 63,281
~ Spanish 13,335

Also, there's a poll organized by Mangahelpers every week, meant to parallel the actual WSJ ToC votes (though it's more complex, twofold, system). This is the standing from last week: https://mangahelpers.com/forum/thre...-discussion-and-toc-talk.3015155/post-5336663

Tite Kubo is full of ideas. I enjoyed learning about the different dragons and related life forms. Beautiful art again and interesting.

Balgo had some degree of a relapse into his annoying beginnings. It is not as bad as it was but I didn't need this.

The story is somewhat chaotic to me, maybe also because I remember so little from the one-shot. I didn't really warm up to this chapter. Maybe this will change when I read it again tomorrow.

Quite liked this chapter too, Balgo did slip back into his pervy nature again but aside from that we still have far less of that kind of fanservice here than in the one shot. I still don't like that side of his character all THAT much, but it still makes for his own character and am glad it wasn't completely forgotten about.

That aside, more world building this time around. We got a nice expansion on the dragons. In the One-shot we got the idea of them being more like natural resources but now they also got resource in daily life too. Also, interesting take on R-London being a literal mirror of the real deal, including hiding their paper within the real one and buildings being destroyed on both sides if one side goes.

That could be quite...insane if anything massive happens in Reverse London.

Kubo still has his talent with making qeird looking creatures. Last chapter we got a fairly normal dragon until its face fell off, and now we have Macy's Dragon Elly, which looks like a four armed bird faced nightmare.

Next chapter is looking like its going to end up as a three way mess given Macy and her Dragon, our team, and now one of the big men up top. This sounds like its gonna be chaos next time and I'm looking forward to it.
