“Himouto! Umaru-chan” Manga Returning (Umaru-chan 100)
Hey gang! I lately reviewed the Himouto! Umaru-chan manga collection and its one quantity sequel, Himouto! Umaru-chan G1 (overview for that one right here). I favored them nicely sufficient and don’t remorse my purchases. I do know there’s one other spinoff manga Akita Imokko! Ebina-chan, that includes Ebina-chan that I must learn (which wasn’t licensed within the West). There are a few different Umaru-chan manga titles not drawn by Sankaku Head, so I gained’t depend them presently.
I lately began studying Sankaku Head’s present collection, My Darling Devilish Daughter. So listening to the information that Sensei deliberate to renew Himouto! Umaru-chan got here as fairly a shock to me. In any case, Sensei introduced that he’d now not do a weekly manga format as a result of well being and household issues. Nonetheless, I then discovered that his My Darling Devilish Daughter collection is ending with quantity 6. Thus that provides him time to return to his hottest collection.
That stated, the brand new collection apparently will likely be referred to as Umaru-chan 100. It’s releasing on the seinen digital platform Yanjan+. That may permit Sensei to do chapters on his schedule somewhat than on a print schedule.
My Ideas
I’ve blended ideas about this. As I stated, I loved Himouto! Umaru-chan nicely sufficient. So I’m not against studying extra on this collection. In any case, I feel considered one of my complaints concerning the authentic manga’s finish was that the ladies didn’t graduate from highschool. This offers Sankaku Head a possibility to rectify this. Additional, he can have the ladies transfer ahead of their lives whereas nonetheless protecting in contact.
That stated, the chief gag within the manga collection is the truth that Umaru-chan’s core group of mates have no idea her secret identities. She is UMR-san to the gaming group, which her good friend Sylph belongs to. Sylph doesn’t know UMR-san is Umaru-chan. Her slovenly, extra pure character is understood to a different good friend as “Komaru”, who thinks Komaru is Umaru-chan’s little sister. Principally, everybody needs to be dumb as bricks for the persona gags.
Frankly, that gag received very outdated to me by the point the manga ended. If Sankaku Head decides to only maintain the gag going, the manga goes to be boring to me. I actually hope her mates be taught these different sides of Umaru-chan. We already know they’ll settle for her as she is. And I feel shifting Umaru-chan’s character ahead can be a breath of recent air.
When Umaru-chan 100 comes out on October 1, if there’s an English model of some kind, I’ll learn it and overview it.
