Yo, anyone in here reading Kakakuridouji ULTIMO? It's a manga written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Takei Hiroyuki. It's Stan Lee's attempt to join what he thinks the bandwagon is; and so he got the artist and author of Shaman King to do his series.
Ultimo 13: I thought Stan Lee was setting it up to be a long running shonen given most of the story until now has felt like exposition material and slowly building up a big cast to work with, but sadly with all the cool powers and mysteries he's been throwing all over the series, the end of the world/"hyakki ekkou" being the next day after time leaping back to the beginning just makes it seem like it's hit end series already. Maybe it's an indicator of how poorly this monthly manga's been doing in Japan and America alike; or maybe stopping the end of the world won't end the story there. I don't think this manga has been entirely too great; but it's not a bad thing to read once a month; and I'd hate to see it get cut off so short with stopping Dunstan from destroying dimensions and other evil stuff. It feels like it's only just beginning, and I'd like to see this manga get more time to grow. That being said, I think this chapter is okay. I wonder what Yamato's going to do this time.
