I read something like 20 volumes of the manga "The Seven Deadly Sins" in like the last 3 days. I'm now caught up to Crunchyroll's simupub. At first it was a bit frustrating because I had watched the anime already. But when I would check threads to see if I could just skip ahead, they would be all like no, no, no, you will miss all this important stuff. Which really I didn't feel like was the case (still don't). Maybe the few chapters that match the ended of the anime but the first 100 chapters and the anime are pretty close.

As I did read it, I did get super into again so I started blasting through it. I was excited though to finally get to new content. I have a bit of mixed feelings though. After the first 100 chapters they introduce numerical power levels (It's over 9000!). Which I get is easy shorthand to explain how powerful someone (thing) is but it is also one of those shounen manga tropes the series hand managed to stay away from. Then there is going to be another arena fight. The series already had one and it was pretty entertaining but this is also a dark hole in shounen manga tropes where a series can just sucked into so hopefully, it is short but sweet.

Still tons of fun. If anyone is looking for a light hearted fantasy anime where everyone has super powers this is a good choice.
