fucking finally

Man, it's good to see Diane finally get some good screentime.

> Bartra just happened to have the heart all along
> Meliodas knew everything about Gowther all along

awful chapter

>Bartra just happened to have the heart all along
Didn't you see Gowther throw it on his sister? Where did you think it was?
>Meliodas knew everything about Gowther all along
How is that supposed to be new? He was the leader.

Nice chapter.
Nothing particular happened but I like the banter between the sins.
That small talk is something I rather miss rmat other shounen.

Finally some good colouring.

Gowther was truly selfless.

Want to start this, what makes it better/different than the other shonens?

Should I also give a try to Boku No Hero Academia and Magi? I'm not fond of battle shonens but I'm in the mood for some action.

>what makes it better/different than the other shonens?

Escanor.

Diane is best girl and I love her.

Think he is saying if Meliodas knew about Gowther and maybe he knew Bartra had the heart then Meliodas should have done something.

You'll never get nearly crushed flat by Diane's ass.

>casually stole an apple
kek
those little neat details is what i love in this manga

There was a thread a while ago where I argued that Galan couldn't sense Gowther and an user was crying around. Good to see him get BTFO now.

This is pretty good. You should definitely give it a try, the fight scenes are the best among modern manga right now. You could try Hero Academia too but Magi is shit now. Compared to most battle shonen I would say NNT has more romance.

This chapter.

>OGowther's lover
Why do I have a feeling that she was Meriln?

I like NnT because of the artwork and the characters and story seem well planned out instead of pulling a bigger threat out of the authors ass. Little details are great too, for example you have one guy in the tavern mention the new king of Camelot and Arthur shows up volumes later, and another would be Escanor's glasses.

The fights don't seem that interesting when it comes down to one character completely overpowering the other, but I enjoy seeing how character's powers counter others.

It's pretty standart shonen, a huge amount of trops and cliches, but it has an amazing art. Boku No Hero Academia is pretty shitty imo. Magi was liked here for quite some time, not so much now, I'm personaly was never fond of it that much. Its themes are more mature than those you can find in most shonens, but most of the time the execution isn't really top notch, art is also pretty fucking bad.

>Gowther-Doll was inspired by Gowthers old lover
>"I-i made it male so I donĀ“t end up fucking it!"
Yeah, right.

Thanks! I'll give NNT a try and maybe go with BNHA too if I still feel like reading some shonen

Mel had no way of knowing what went down in the past with Gowther's sin and the king never had any reason to tell Mel the story of his deceased sister or give him the heart, since the king didn't know Mel and Gowther had a common past. The king giving up the heart now could very well be part of a vision of his, to give it back on this very day.

I'd like to add, actual romance, not the shitty bait kind of shipperbait that may or may not get resolved as an afterthought in the final chapter or a followup movie/novel.

Try Black Clover.

Would it mean that Gowther will win the Merlinbowl? I would love this.

Did you skip the chapter on Gowther's backstory where he fucked the princess with keyaids?

Why is Merlin so lewd?

He's speaking about the real Gowther.

Don't listen to him.

>literally made himself a trap waifu

All the romances involve some kind of huge age gap.

Meliodas looks like a kid(3000+) and Elizabeth a young woman(20-)
Ban a young man(50+) and Elaine looks like a kid(1000)
King looks like a kid(1000) and Dianne a teenage giant(500)
Merlin looks like a cake(3000?) and Arthur looks like a kid(15)

So?
Elizabeth is probably part goddess.
Ban is immortal.
A 500 year old difference between a fairy and a giant isn't all that much.

And mentally everyone seems to be on the same level.

It's clearly day why is Escanor in his weak form?

Arthur ain't getting any sorceress pussy

His glasses stop that

Could be early morning or something. And perhaps his power graph is somewhat exponential or something, it spikes like crazy near noon but at all other times it remains fairly low.

It's early morning. While I went back to ch216 to find the page, I got the impression that a few pages were added to the chapter since it was initially posted and not just the title page. Did I just imagine that?

Why did Merlin's head turn into an egg?

>so?

Was just pointing out age does make a difference. Meliodas is 3000 years old and as a character he is very sober yet manipulating at the same time without the other characters realizing it. He witnesses his lover dying hundreds of times and he still chooses to feel anger every time. Even if his lover dies he will find her reincarnation and love her again. For all I know he could have groomed Elizabeth into being just like Liz but he loves her even if she grows up differently.

There are hints that it's because of his glasses, which must be one of Merlin's items.It's at least confirmed that they are from her.

Whatever happened with Meliodas losing a part of his self? He seems pretty normal there, like as if nothing had ever happened.

It's fucking magic, she ain't gotta explain shit.

>"I am a great magician...my head's an egg!"

He just became more ruthless in battle after coming back, nothing else really.

I took it as getting revived affects him, but he can recover. He did say that he's scared shittless about whether he could revert to his former demon personality, but by asking that question and havong that scene, he made a conscious choice to keep the happy-go-lucky attitude. We'll know the next time he fights.

Reminder that Nakaba is a /ss/-types of relationships. If someone here as the pic, post it.

He is fine as long as he is not using the mark.

Is the manga good again?

...

what made you drop it? I feel it remained mostly the same with more backstory to develop the characters better.

Characters get completely curb stomped power levels don't mean shit when they're basically rpg stats strength, magic power, and spirit describing how they stack up against each other at base.

Based.

I dropped it before the backstory because I thought it seemed kind of stupid.

It has always been good.

What is ven happening in it?
Weren't they fighting some ten powerful demons with humanity on the brink on destruction, hunting for other humans to sacrifice them to demons. What is even happening in this fucking manga.

Read and find out.

It's nice that the Ban/Mel bromance is back in full swing.

Anyone remember the other laws of the seven deadly sins? I think we had another one or two in the the older chapters.

Gowther is LITERALLY draw a girl call it a boy meme

We know fo Law #3: "A Sin shall ask no questions of another member's sin."[11]
Law #4: "If A friend is in crisis everybody need to use all of their power to help."
Law #5: "When two Sins are in disagreement they can resolve it with a fight."[12]
Law #6: "If two Sins are fighting to the death, the other five must do their utmost to stop them even if it means eliminating the perpetrator."ur, two were revealed in SnS.

Thanks. Didn't know we were so far already.

Start Magi. It's one of the best shonen ever created. Much mature and interesting than most typical shonen manga.

>art is also pretty fucking bad
What? Are you serious? Magi is one of the best shonen from an artistic point of view. It is very atypical and not trivial.

...

>Magi is shit now
Magi is different from the usual battle shonen = so it's shit
Man, read your typical shonen and abandon Magi, it's not for you.

everyone's too lazy to dump

> t. phoneposting cripple

How are you going to greentext and still not read what he said? He said it's shit NOW, not altogether.

Magi been spouting that free will vs pre-destined fate bullcrap for the past 10 chapters.

The mangaka obviously doesn't want Sinbad to be confronted as the unapologetic douche that he is because he is her hubando.

In fact that's the issue with Magi. It creates villains like Kassim or that old Mage dude then gives them redemption when they obviously don't deserve it.

The newest chapter pretty much has Alibaba create a compromise that would flood the whole universe into chaos because him and Aladdin don't have the balls to stand up to Sinbad's asinine goals.

>Young Woman(20-)

user, she's stated to be 16. Melodias is a pedophile.

>Boku no
Do you at least borderline like merican superhero comics?
>Magi
Battle politics

Lewd

So does it mean Gowther is literaly girl (male)?

Oh right, forgot Gowther was written as a trap on his introduction. Talk about a hugeass retcon.

Kassim and Mogamett aren't villain. To say the truth in all the manga there is no real villain. Anyway, what you're talking about has nothing to do with the quality of the series. You talk about very subjective details. Details that can only be fully understood when the manga is over.

Magi is probably the best battle shonen along with Fullmetal Alchemist, so I would say you should read first Magi.
BnH is cute, but nothing more. The same goes for NnT. They are both two manga shonen that I like to read in free time without too many thoughts, but they do not at all reach the level of Magi.

Why wouldn't Bartra have it? It was inside his dead sister for fuck's sake.

>16
>pedophile
What shithole country do you come from where you can't fuck a sixteen year old?

No, he's a boy with a girl's face.

>congratulations on growing a pair
Perfect. Meliodas never fails.

Wait didn't gowther go full
>im gowther of the 10 commandments
the last time we saw him

...

Oh shit, I didn't even realize that was him and his sister until now.

Not that user but God Emperor Sinbad killed my desire to read it. If you've been in any of those threads since the last arc started you would know that.

But they straight up used his name in the gaiden, you didn't even have to properly understand the whole "my brother has strange dreams" thing

>implying I read and don't just look at the images

There is no retcon at all.

I want more Elizabeth. My wife deserves attention.

Bartra is fucking retarded. What good is future sight if you make things worse? He got his holy knight captain killed by telling Dreyfus and Hendrickson to investigate the Danafor hole and get possessed by the cause of the hole.
The demon then takes over your kingdom from the shadows while you sit on your ass for 10 years (what the fuck was the point of the 10 year time skip? just for Elizabeth to age?). Which all leads up to revival of the Demon clan and human genocide.

Bartra knew his sister was sick and knew Gowther was just trying to save her in his own messed up way, so why label him a rapist when she died with a smile?

Whatever his vision was that needed the seven sins better be worth the loss of all the lives thanks to the resurrection of the demon clan.

Meliodas pls.

All of that to eventually save the world in the third arc- oh shit, Bartra was the final boss all along.

powerlevels

I think she was Merlin' s mother.

Merlin knew Meliodas since forever though.

True but Mel seems to imply that he knew original Gowther and his lover.

We need backstory on Merlin.

gowther went NOPE

>draw a girl
>call it a boy
>literally admit its a girl
>b.. but look I gave it a man body

your not fooling me Nakaba

he already explained its the glasses jesus how many times do we have to spoon feed these anons

When was the last nice detailed scenery page that set the mood without being in the middle of a battle to show scale of destruction or speed/distance of movement. It feels like it has been a while

Elizabeth will eventually remember that she's a three thousand and something year old Goddess though.

Ban looks 23 (and will do forever - he's 43) and I'll give you Elaine looking young.

Merlin is a mother figure to Arthur, it's non-romantic. She'll wind up praising the sun.

Gowther could certainly be Merlin's father - that wouldn't stop Meliodas knowing her for over 3000 years, considering Meliodas is at least 3380+ years old. Estarossa's age is given as 380, and Meliodas is his older brother.

If Merlin is a demon, or part demon, there's plenty of time for her and Meliodas to have met as adults over 3000 years ago.

I personally think she's a nephalem, given her resistance to the commandment, although the question of who her parents are will be an interesting one.

>She'll wind up praising the sun
Never. And Escanor is 40+ while she is 3000+.
