Reminds me of that Silver Spoon chapter with Hachiken's great-grandmother.

Once again, hail science.

...call me weird, but I feel like we need something new. I almost want to go back to boring dude and his girlfriend, just to change things up a bit.

We know that the organized tribe has cast out criminals in the past—perhaps they are still alive and could show up to be menacing?

I guess the "yay science" chapters are gonna take a break after they make the medicine.

Well, 'yay science' is kinda the unique draw of the work, but they've been setting up a few key conflicts to build up to, *both Magma and Tsukasa) so there's that to look forward to.

New chapter out.

Sulfuric acid is the final boss.

And suddenly GIANT SCANTILY CLAD ANGEL WOMAN!!

Hmm… If they need to collect sulfuric acid so badly, why don't they just… tie the container to a long rope or something?

And what exactly are they gonna tie the container with that won't react to the acid?

Hmm… Good point. :x That's a bummer.

So, Sulphuric Acid. Mankind's greatest enemy, has finally appeared.

...meh.

I doubt Senku is gonna die (we played that game already) but he's sure hedging his bets isn't he?

Latest chapter:

Science vs Sulphuric Acid! Round 1! FIGHT!

I didn't really like this manga at the beginning, but lately it has been really growing on me.

It was weaker at the beginning I feel (still pretty good IMO) but since the prologue arc ended and we entered this Kohaku's village/saving Ruri arc, it has seriously kicked into a higher gear.

Yep, and there's a reason: as of this chapter, Taiju and Yuzuriha have officially been gone for the majority of the manga.

I like Kohaku and Chrome's friendship dynamic. She'll be a great auntie to his and her sister's kids.

See, I'd even forgotten their names.

It'll be interesting to see them come back and interact with the new guys, but Senku going off on his own was the best direction this manga took.

Helps that Senku is a unique shonen protag.

Taiju is your typical brash, simple-minded, nice but dumb, brute force character that nearly every shonen has so he feels bland but Senku's jerk with a heart of gold, ambition & super intelligence makes for a much more compelling lead.

Now that the cast dynamic has improved it be fun to Taiju & Yuzu come back again.

"Hey, Senkuu! Long time no see!"
"Huh? Who are you ag… Oh, right! You're my ex-co-leads! I'd 1 billion percent forgotten about you. Let me introduce you to my new best friends."

Damn Chrome, you slick friend you.

I can only hope Taiju and Yuzuriha's espionage stint helped make their characters more interesting.

New chapter out.

"Mother Nature is strong, but it has no head or heart to think with. That is our advantage as people!"

...You know, it just occured to me that this whole "all science would die with me" thing is a bit presumptuous. Who knows if there aren't other humans elswhere in the world who woke up and can science?

What are the odds of them having the same amount of knowledge as Senku, and the drive to be able to re-create a scientific civilization?

Senkuu is also, as far as we know, the only one standing up against Tsukasa.

Brains and heart save the day.

Hail science.

And thus our heroes trimph over the evil fanservice.

New chapter out. A tidal wave of chemical experiments!

And Ruri knows Senku?
