I really like how this series takes things we're used to live with and points out how awesome they actually are. You can just feel the metric ton of fun the two authors are having with this story.

New chapter:

More science.

One Strip! One Strip!

Color me surprised.

I must say that outside of their individual abilities, the Kingdom of Science have had a shitton of luck so far.

Yeah finding a rare material that happens to be the thing they need to make the phone's vacuum tube (I can just imagine that the result would be a mix of the original cell phones and smartphones at this rate) is quite the stroke of luck.

I wonder if Senku played a lot of Civ games.

New chapter:

Uh oh. Is Gen planning something? Well, whatever the case, Magma caught it, and he finally seems to have been won over.

One Strip! One Strip!

Oh hey the guy who betrayed Tsukasa might be a traitor. Who would've thunk. Nice to see Magma develop a bit though.

On another note, I found it interesting that in the author comment of volume 1 (which just came out here), Inagaki calls Senku "the main character" − not "a main character". That was back when Taiju and Yuzuriha still seemed to be the co-protagonists.

New chapter:

So nothing was quite what it seemed then? Aw well, not too much happened here.

One Strip! One Strip!

I'm not really surprised at the Gen situation. I'm actually more into how things went with Magma.

…Okay, how did they build a telescope powerful enough to see freaking Saturn? >.>

But anyway, nice breather chap. And I laughed at the author mocking the "true treasure is friendship" line.

You can actually see Saturn with a pretty crappy telescope.

Especially in a world with almost zero light pollution.

You don't actually need a telescope at all to see Saturn; it's visible to the naked eye. You need one to see the rings, but, like, literally any telescope is gonna to good enough to do that; the rings were discovered two years after the telescope was invented.

…Well I'll be.

Very sweet of Gen.

Its wonderful how much he respects Senku.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

When Ian the war? This science stuff is getting boring.

When IS the war I mean. Damn auto correct

Just before the end of winter, or at least that's the plan.

And while they're getting preparations done, we're gonna have some more SCIENCE I suppose.

Chapter out. Chrome levels up.

That he does.

Science...yay...again...

One Strip! One Strip!

That seems an odd thing to complain about given it's kinda the premise of the entire series.

Yeah I know. But...it's been going on a while. I get that there's preparation to do (and other series would skip this and get to the action) but...

...I can't really put it into words. I suppose the best I can say is that I get it: Science is awesome. How could I not since they've been beating me over the head with it.

But it feels like even though stuff is happening, and it all has a purpose, nothing is happening.

I guess I've been soaking up generic battle shonen for too long. It's warped my perspective.

One Strip! One Strip!

Mhm. It's getting to be difficult as excited as the characters over week after week of 'and then we built this thing, which is yet another step stone on the way to what we're actually trying to make'.

Like, I get it. I'd call bullshit if they just kind of jumped ahead a few months and went 'we have cellphones now'. We do kind of need to see this stuff in order to buy that their goal can be achieved with the resources and time that they have. But that doesn't stop it from feeling a tad repetitive.

"Canada Day is over, and now begins the endless dark of the Canada Night."

I'll be honest, I’m skimming through the planning and science stuff to read the action and drama and comedy stuff. That’s how I’ll finish this series! Genius!!!

But thats kind of like reading Shokugeki no Soma and being sick of people cooking stuff <_< This isn't action series, its "Science is awesome!" series with comedy and action in it

I'm kind of guilty of this myself, as I'm more interested in the character interaction than the various nuts and bolts. I know what they're trying to do, I know the exposition explains why it works, and I can appreciate how much of this utilizes real world science (or cooking in Soma's case). That's usually enough for me, since nine times out of ten this exposition won't be super important past the point where it's currently important.
