I wish there was more manga where the writer stops all the action to talk about the fighters, the world and literally nothing for pages and pages
i love that shit but this and Jojo are the only ones that do it
Nearly every shonen ever does that

okay granted but they dont do it well. they lack characters worth caring about
>>154111500
Does Kengan Ashua do this enough for you?
>>154111500
I think it just has to do with passion.
Most of the generics shonens right now is from some dude who want to please his editor.
Of course he isn't going to talk about the world and shit, you want a cute girl here is a cute girl, you want a edgy rival here it is
When you read Baki you just know he doesn't give a fuck and he truly loves his characters
>>154111500
Fucking why ?
Why does stone cold trained killers feel the need to explain their jutsu to one another during the fighting ?
For me it seems like that info dump is not meant for the other party but for the reader.
It break immersion.

You are not being sarcastic? Weird.

Dunno but I'll check it out since its fighting so even if it doesn't I'll probably like it

?you misunderstood the thread. i like it when the author does this. just stops everything to go on the really long tracts about whatever
another example would be that one manga i can't remember the name of set in a world that revolves around food, where instead of just having the big hero guy save the weak cook he describes it as being like a rat sat on a lion with nice pictures
or baki describing in detail the motivations of characters, their abilities and why they're so scary to normal people even for the guys who literally have 1 fight they lose
i love that shit but i dont think there's any descriptor i can google to find more of it

>i love that shit but i dont think there's any descriptor i can google to find more of it
excessive exposition
Its general frowned upon in the Western tradition of writing, but you'll find it quite popular in Asian cultures, Japan less then other places like China, but still.

you just described Kengan Ashua
>>154111500
Baki is fucking fun
>character punch
>3 chapters of in depth examination of the punch
>characters dodge that punch
>another 2 chapters explaining how he dodge the punch
