Welp, it took 15 years and over 150 chapters, but it finally happened.

Admittedly, I never liked Chibi Reviews after the crap he said about MHA regarding IzuOcha a few years ago, or how he thought NaruHina was handled well while bashing NaruSaku fans, among other things. But doxxing someone for having a different opinion than you and even mocking the death of their loved one is absolutely vile as hell.

No Bryon, MHA didn't suffer the same fate as Naruto. The only reason why people assumed that because shipping fans were pissed off of the fact that Izuku didn't hook up with Ochaco (by ignoring hints, placements and BTS stuff on the reasons why they didn't happen) and the finale parts were rushed for "certain reasons that were beyond Horikoshi's control". MHA's saving grace was the themes of its story was still in place, unlike Naruto's.
And a resolution for Izuku x Ochako is likely going to be covered in the additional story content that Horikoshi talked about for the Final Volume as well as the databook that's going to be compiled.

Well well well.... Where is the true love now? That said, this speaks to me as pure incompetence. I have no empathy points for this explanation. Just saying.
It doesn't help that we know that this was just more damage control on his part to cover the asses of WSJ's editors because he gave into external pressure from them and SP.

I mean, I've been referencing this interview regarding Masashi's reasoning for choosing Hinata for years, so this isn't news to me. It was even brought up by Naruto himself in the Last novelization that he felt guilty for not realizing how she felt, not because he had feelings for her(even though she told him to his freakin' face in the Pain battle and is emotionally intelligent enough to know that it wasn't the equivalent of loving food ). And Masashi still dared to illustrate them as a dysfunctional couple and even worse parents.

If this doesn't make happy those who didn't like 154 ending, so that their problem.
From what I've seen, people absolutely love the extra chapter for the manga. There are those who still wish Nanashi had added the one-use only ticket as part of the finale(especially since he confirmed that he still remembers it), but that's probably something that'll be included in the one-shot. Or an officialized doujin to be on the safer side.

Well, "Please Don't Bully Me, Miss Nagatoro!" has officially concluded and I'm happy with the ending. The bonus chapter that Nanashi drew for the last volume honestly wraps up the story far better than 154 did, and I look forward to the proposed one-shots of Hayase and Naoto featuring living together as a college couple.

So, it looks like Tabata will be releasing two chapters of Black Clover simultaneously next month. A part of me is hoping that getting two chapter releases every four months will be a standard for him going forward, but I won't get my hopes up.
And it turns out I was right. Tabata's new modus operandi is to produce two elongated chapters every four months.

Hiro - The modern day king of shounen romance strikes gold once again with another couple!
Shicca (Shiki x Rebecca) - Edens Zero
6 Years of storytelling, and build up within the story with subtle romance that was core to the narrative of Eden's Zero ended with Shiki and Rebecca becoming a couple, and at the same time... THEY BECAME NEW PARENTS TO THEIR FIRST NEWBORN DAUGHTER!!
PS - I would show a picture of Shiki, Rebecca, and their baby however that wasn't shown in the magazine and some pages were definitely missing because other series also run in Weekly Shounen Magazine. Hiro will mostly showcase the missing pages with Shiki, Rebecca and their baby girl when the final volume comes out in August.
Yeah, it was a beautiful ending, though I do feel bad that Shiki (Ziggy) missed the opportunity to have proper closure with his Rebecca (Chronophage). Not to mention the added tragedy of Ziggy being forced to kill their own son.

I'm not sure he even realises that they did this with naruto
Of course they do, that's why this statement is both ironic and hypocritical. It's why they keep trying to bait old fans back with NaruSaku subtext in Boruto, or even why they had Naruto insult Hinata in an episode for choosing to fight beside him over protecting their children and even dedicate an episode to illustrate that there's little to no romance in their relationship. However, they're never going to outright admit that they made a poor decision (based on their own bias as well as their misread of the western audience investment in this ship) that drastically affected the series' quality, popularity and profitability.

...So, according to the spoilers, it turns out that Himawari has a smaller version of Kurama existing in her body, which is why she's so abnormally strong.

Hey Kagomaru it is true that Nagatoro ended?
No, the manga's still ongoing and there haven't been any formal announcements about it coming to an end.

What bothers me about neutrality with fictional romance and taking it for as it is that viewers often forget the context of such things. Yes Naruto is a shonen battle manga that does not focus on romance as a theme per say but again there always that difference from other shonen manga that don't care about romance and make couples last second or treat it as a joke at best. Naruto has ALWAYS had feelings for Sakura and it is not a silly childhood crush or a fleeting feeling that he was not serious about or else there would never have been a POAL in the first place. Naruto shows complete selflessness towards Sakura and maturity in putting her happiness above his own. Sakura in turn shows that in her worst circumstances when she is most vulnerable and lost and upset and powerless it was Naruto that comforts her and listens to her problems. that lays the very foundation of how close they become throughout the story. I'm not going to repeat the moments they have together because it would just be redundant at this point. Think of it like this, What if Rurouni Kenshin remained unchanged in it's story and plot but Watsuki decided last second that Kenshin is would be happier with Megumi as his wife because she is more feminine and does not emasculate him, or maybe she looks more like his first wife and chucks all that development with Kaoru out the window. That is essentially what Naruto did at the end, it chucked the development between Naruto and Sakura out the window for a side character that has no real importance to the plot and for the main character in general. What if Slam Dunk resolved the love triangle with Kaede getting together with getting together with Haruko despite not showing any affection for her and doesn't care about romance in general and Haruko saying Hanamichi was only shallowly interested in her? Again That is what Naruto did. Naruto is not like other shonen series in that there is not romantic development at all and the author can slap together couples however they feel last second and whatever pleases them. Naruto had a love interest and they developed together progressively throughout the series and they owe a large part of their growth to each other. Typical romance writing in fiction, even if there is not an emphasis on it. This is different from Dragon Ball where Goku had no such moments with Bulma so who cares if he married Chichi?
I know I haven't posted for a while But I just want to put that out there. In terms of Neutrality, context is very important if not everything
Hell, a similar situation happened to Devil is a Part-Timer. The author went through over 20 volumes of developing Mao and Emi's relationship, unambiguously showcasing how their former animosity towards each other gradually becomes mutual attraction (with Mao explicitly admitting to himself that he enjoys seeing Emi's smile and wished to always protect her happiness, with him even noting that the emotions she arouses in him are nothing that he's ever felt before). This includes them even co-parenting a child and even establishing that Mao had a shared history with Emi's family that dates back to him meeting her mother as a child. But what does the author do? He tosses that development in the trash and put the main male lead with the obsessive big-boobed highschool girl that he's never entertained a single romantic thought about beyond friendship because of shock value and his own fetish. And what did this result in? Japanese fans review-bombing the hell out of the final volume of the series and sending death threats to his Twitter and email account. The second season for the anime adaptation that came out last year also became one of the worst rated anime of the year because of the crap that the author pulled in the source material. So yeah, a good foundation does matter when developing a fictional romance.

The Hinata heartbroken bit, that can be solved easily: have Naruto being honest with her in a private conversation, he is not interested in her romantically. It can benefit her to move on and find someone to be with her. She was never important in the first place. It was her fans (and some inside help) that were pushing her which resulted on how the franchise ended up now.
This, essentially. Not to mention that Hinata seemed perfectly resigned and content when she saw Sakura and Naruto embrace at the end of the Pain arc, which, at the time, seemed to symbolize her acceptance over their relationship. And it isn't as though unrequited love triangles haven't been a thing in shonen manga for decades now. By that logic, why is it okay for Naruto have his heart broken after pining after Sakura throughout the entire manga?
