Started reading this manga last week and just caught up to the current chapter. A lot of the sins sure do have something fucked up about them Lol.

I like the Sins though in all their designs and personal quirks. Still 1 more to be revealed.

I wonder if king's votes were just sympathy votes because nothing seems to go right with his life.

lol Pinocchio.

was almost entirely turned off to the manga for the shounen-esqe art style. i easily attributed it to being a fairy-tale type of manga. despite the fact we generally say "don't judge a book by it's cover" translates to manga as don't judge the artstyle for it's plot.
i'm glad it was mentioned in the entertainment thread as i would have otherwise skipped it over. TL has a track record for very-good recommendations regarding manga so i'll take a look into it.

Its better then Fairy tail, less BS fanservice, all we get is Meliodas all over Elizabeth as opposed to you know, Fairy Tail.

We knew seven sins are from different races but i didn't expect him to be something like that lol.

That explains his shape shifting abilities/sex change....but we have no idea where does he put his weapon. + Show Spoiler +

Or he is (a part) of his weapon.

I expected something like that when he was beheaded during the last fight.

For me it was fairly obvious that he was an artificial being, be it a golem or, as it is, a doll. The whole "I don't know emotions, I don't understand basic human concepts" is a good indicator in general. Adding the fact that he can be injured (quite severly) without being killed.

ok, SO GLAD i picked this up. read about 60 chapters in 2 days, very worth it.

so here's my summary so far without spoiling
the beginning is very hard to start, but man does it really get into the plot very quickly. almost no filler in this manga, the art style is essentially a more gory version of fairy tale.

the plot has very well written, almost no filler but everything leads to either a fight or progression until a fight. but the plot is very, very good. it start off more like the manwha magician where the main protagonist is more or less this elite powerhouse. the adventure aspect is very similar to one piece in a journey of discovery.

the fight scenes have managed to somewhat adopt a DBZ thing or a naruto power thing but....none of them have ridiculous stamina. it's kinda like anyone can get KO'ED in 1 shot if they are not careful but they all have ridiculous abilities.

8.5/10 for this manga is my rating so far, can't wait to catch up!

could be due to the age range who voted on that? What is the demographic for the manga in japan lol. I assume for us foreigners it is a >15yo shounen

Decent enough shounen. Basically like Fairy Tail meets Claymore. Arguably better than Fairy Tail, tho noticeably worse than Claymore (pre time-skip). It's actually quite similar to post time-skip Claymore.

I think the Pig is much more fun/enjoyable to follow than Happy and similar side kicks. Anyone think that naming him Hawk is a nod to Berserk?

The introduction of power levels is goofy as hell though.

Can't wait for Hawk to have a "ITS OVER 9000!!" moment. I agree that having a system that quantifies power levels into numbers is pretty meh, not sure if that was needed except to give Hawk something.

I would agree that it is superior to Fairy Tail in many respects, though I still prefer Fairy Tail personally.

it was made mention in a couple of chapters and then no more, if anything it seems like a nod to toriyama and dragonball.

duh cause u like oppai Slaughter

Anyway the plot is a ton more interesting then FT, it takes itself a little bit more serious but not too serious while still goofing around enough. Hawk is very entertaining and all of the Sins all seem quite interesting characters to me, I thought Ban would be boring when he was first introduced but he turned out to be quite a cool character.

I suppose problems will emerge when power levels get out of control and the main plot has been resolved but so far looking good.

Nah I actually roll my eyes when Mashima is having one of his hentai days for the most part. I do like the art style more in FT though, that is true. Plus Fairy Tail has Erza, though Diane has had her moments and Merlin has had a good run in the short time she has been here.

I do agree that the core plot is written a lot better then FTs (though not so much early on, as FT had some genuinely good early arcs back when Mashima was actually planning shit a head of time). The comedy/goofing off is pretty much a wash at this point.

I really like Ban though, hes pretty awesome and probably my favorite. Diane will probably be even better now that she isn't spending half her time being jealous of the captain. King's character design is also fucking awesome, I love the floating small character with the spear and the mannerisms that the author draws with it. However, King himself is probably among the lower teir of the Sins.
