I can see why with Magi. It took some turns that kind of change the overall mood a bit too much. 7DS is also losing some of my interest.

 

As for Neverland,

Phil... I can't say for sure. It gets harder and harder to see him as merely kid super genius there is something very creepy about him in the last week's chapter. I know the author had to leave a clue somewhere in the chapters and so far I guessed almost all of the except Ray trying to torch himself. That said, I have no idea. My wildest guess is he is a little demon child. No one with common sense could be smiling after THAT just transpired. And he's smarter than most of the kids. Him being a distraction or replacement just doesn't sit right with me with Emma leading the group.

Yeah...I didn't really care for the change in tone. The Arabian Nights tone was really unique, and I didn't exactly feel wowed by the psuedo-modern setting. I didn't hate it...but unlike some other manga I complain about, Magi was pretty text-heavy, and would take longer to read. I also wasn't crazy about the main cast, other than Morgiana and Sinbad.

I did read the spinoff for a while though, and actually grew to dislike it, despite Sinbad being my favorite character. I loved the fallen hero theme Ohtaka was going for, but reading him as a perfect hero was much less interesting. Also the cameos felt really unnatural, I remember cringing when young Alibaba just so happened to run past him one time. And don't get me started on Drakon getting cucked.

 Back to Neverland though: Demon-child theory...shit I can't deny it. I've actually had a theory that the demons are actually former humans that are converted after being harvested. I don't have much reason for that theory, just that this story seems pretty grounded, and so the fantasy elements feel a bit mispaced. I think it's more likely that the demons are born from science, rather than being from the Underworld or something crazy. I could definitely be wrong...but I'm trying to think of what Norman was reacting to in his last (or most recent) panel. Am I crazy for thinking he might return somehow?
