This series is actually fairly new like two chapters, and that may make you wonder why start a thread this soon? Well as you guys know when Naruto ended there was a void that was left for a couple weeks and then I came across My Hero Academia which yeah there are small vibes of Naruto when it comes to Deku being the No.1 and how he was essentially a loser for most of his life. I instantly connected with the series right then and there... So you might ask.. LuckyChi why are you bringing this up here? well as you guys know the Bleach manga ended back in August and since then I've checked out a couple of new series, but none of them have really filled in that void like Academia did after Naruto ended.. That is until I came across this series, Black Torch.  Similar to how Boku No Hero Academia has certain vibes from Naruto, Black Torch has certain vibes that stem from Bleach  and you'll know what they are. 

 

 

 

If you guys like Bleach or were a fan at one point I'd encourage you guys to check it out.. The only thing I can say is that it's a monthly series which so far the first two chapters are about like 60 to 70 pages long:

Hmm...Looks interesting I will read the chapters later.

[alexander]

huh, interesting. Sometimes I feel like there is a little too much dialogue. And the action scenes fall too far from each other because of that. And the supposedly female protagonist is too edgy for my tastes.

Other then that, the art style is pretty solid, and I like the protagonist. I needed a break from all those dense idiots in the main title and see someone a little more no- nonsense instead

Yeah at the moment we know little to nothing about Ichika, but given how she walked off on Jiro I wanna say she is  a Tsundere, and if that ends up being the case then great.  At the moment though I guesss the most we can do is wait.

 

 

Most definetly, i mean I love Luffy, Goku, Natsu ,and Asta from Black Clover, but I won't lie and say that it is getting a little old seeing the same trope for the male protagonist of a series. in a way you can say it was a breath of fresh air having a character like Ichigo from Bleach because he wasn't your streotypical idiot. i mean the only thing I could see with him was his obliviousness to Orihime's feelings, but that's about it..  in terms of Jiro he's got that similar trait to Ichigo where he also isn't an idiot, and does whatever he can to help people for the right reasons. So It'll be interesting to see where this series takes him.

 

So far the things I'm looking forward to are:

 

- delving into the lore regarding Rago and Mononoke  

- Jiro's grandfather's backstory with the Bureau

- The journey Jiro is gonna take from this point.

- and kinda knowing more about Ichika.

Here's a little video I made for this manga and its similarities to bleach:

 

 

 

This also the start of my YT intro.

I'll give it a look, see how it is.

Good manga the story so far is interesting and the same with the characters. Jiro is definitely a clone of Ichigo and it's only been two chapters of the start of the manga and I'm already shipping Jiro and Ichika. Ichika is definitely a tunsdere yep she has the look of one with how she walked out on him. I'm looking forward to their development as characters and as a pairing. 

 

*Crossing fingers the author doesn't make a busty shy girl that falls for Jiro* the last thing I want is a clone of Hinata. Please to the author don't become like Kishimoto.

Read the first two chapters, liked what I saw. It has potential, I think...I don't see the breach comparison, however. There really aren't that many similarities in my opinion. Definitely think that Ichicka is a tsundere, wonder how that plays out.

I agreed of the manga not being like Bleach except the male lead who shares many characteristics with Ichigo. So it's a monthly manga it's a real shame I already want to read the third chapter . Guess I'll have to wait for the next month issue.

Got a spoiler page for chapter 3

 

 

 

 

 

Am I sensing  a Jiro x Ichika romance? lol

 

 

real talk: It's got potential, but there needs to be a legit moment like when Kaneki saved Touka from Ayato in TG,  Rukia crying in tears to Ichigo as she was being taken away by Renji and Byakuya in Bleach,  Ganta putting his life on the line to protect Shiro in Deadman Wonderland, Luffy putting his hat on Nami as he walks off to fight in One Piece, when Yato went nuts after Hiyori fell unconscious in Noragami ,or even when Ochako tells Izuku that Deku to her means going all out! back in chapter 7 of BnA.   

 

for now I can see it happen, but I'm gonna wait tell we get defining moment.

Ichika is definitely a tsundere all right and yeah the author made it clear in this chapter that he's planning to pair Jiro with Ichika in the future. There are many things in this chapter I like.

 

-We get some background on Ichika that her parents were spies and she chose to become one to honor their memory. 

-Jiro/Ichika feels like an awesome pairing their interactions are funny as it means to be between the lead male and the lead female (tsundere). 

-The fan service (the butt shot of Ichika on page 21 damn really nice I approve ) 

-The action is quick and awesome not to mention really like the gore, it was totally unexpected. But now we know the manga is that violent. 

-This chapter was actually the prelude of the story with the creation of the anti-mononoke mobile spy unit code name" Black Torch".

 

Now let's not hope the author doesn't introduces a shy girl that secretly likes Jiro and in the last chapter he does the pairing switch from Ichika to that girl, I guess I'm still traumatized with Kishimoto.

I know right and the months almost about to end too so that doesn't help. 

 

 

Hopefully it comes out soon like this week.

[Gravenimage]

Well tomorrow is Friday and the last Friday of April since this Monday is May 1st and STILL no new chapter. I wonder if they don't have enough translators.
