What actually matters is sales and sales potential. Sometimes the rankings align with that and sometimes they don't. Shokugeki no Soma was like the 13th best selling series for the beginning of the year. It legitimately makes no difference where it is in the rankings, even if its sales were cut in half.

The poll doesn't mean anything in and of itself, it just happens to frequently correlate with series sales early on. If you try to look at the rankings as indicative of basically anything in a vacuum, you're not going to get any useful information.

RIP Rocket Turtle. He was so young and so full of rockets. I can't remember whether the survival guide prohibits talking about anything outside of the princess's cell, but if it doesn't then that needs to be added.

something, something not finished yet for Soma

I doubt Soma is going to win this even if they have yet to taste it with the dip

TheRealTalker said:

I don't think it is time for Soma to win against a 10th seat member

maybe Hayama gave Soma a handicap or the rebels didn't really need to beat a Elite 10 member but rather meat a certain criteria to pass

since it is actual BS that each rebel has to somehow deafest a E10 individual to pass these exams compared to everyone else

and doesn't even sound legally sound at all

your right

even though I don't think the 9th seat was taking things seriously

likely I feel like when they reach the second year of school they will start with this E10 place grabbing

They'll probably pull the same type of crap here. Hayama didn't have his heart in it or some shit.

One Piece 843

I am kinda annoyed at Sanji. Even in those circumstances, hitting your captain like that is kinda shitty. That's something I couldn't see Zoro for example ever do, even to protect himself or others.
I'd actually like for Zoro to just aimlessly wander into the scene and smack Sanji for this.
I also can't see Luffy backing down even if he got the hint.

This almost feels like Water 7 Saga: The Remix with Sanji here. Also, Big Mom's powers are pretty absurd.

1. The diversion into the lizard story is really interesting. I can't wait to see how this plays out. For Overlord. From Jintor. (imp)

8. Jintor suggests you don't read Maou no Hajimekata.
9. Really it should be called "Inferno by Go Nagai, and Purgatorio and Paradiso Too, I Guess" because like everyone else in the world Nagai spends far more time on Inferno. For The Divine Comedy. From MetroidPrimeRib. (rev)

13. The way he uses several pages and spreads in a row to convey the destruction was very effective at showing the raw power and just energy being used. For Akira. From Tyrant Rave. (rev)
14. Sketchy cute work about a vague romantic couple who likes playing video games. For Mishiro san to Yamada kun. From OniBarubary. (imp)
15. One thing the writing does do really well, at least so far, is use multiple plot and world devices (literal devices) to question the nature of consent, control, and trust in a really interesting way. For No Guns Life. From FelixOrion. (imp)
16. A fun little story that didn't overstay it's welcome. For My Sweet Alien. From Wiseblade.

27. New series from the WataMote author, starring two NEET sisters, the older of whom wants to shape the younger into a writer. For Write Sisters. From A Huge Battleship. (imp)
28. A slightly earlier work from the Mangka of Nanatsu no Taizai, which really shines through both in the art at times and the overall style of the fights.

35. The flower sword powers are pretty interesting, wondering where this will go. For Sahara the Flower Samurai 01. From Cwarrior. (imp)
36. Pretty straightforward resolution, but the final twist was nice. Overall, an enjoyable short series, which demonstrates the author's ability to draw great faces. For Toumei Ningen no Tsukurikata. From Zweizer.
37. Just started reading this. Humans and demons traveling together, to defeat an evil organization I guess. Has some good action parts in it, its also funny at times. So far I'm liking it. For Sengoku Youko. From nabe_shogun.
38. An offbeat fantasy story about a guy, Zipher, who is traveling alone with a box on his back before giving out to exhaustion. For Pandemonium: Majutsushi no Mura. From Semblance. (rev)

42. It started surprisingly strongly, with two excellent and slightly touching tales. For Time Eliminator. From A Huge Battleship. (rev)

45. A short heartwarming romance with a pleasant ending. Definetly recommended. For My Fair Neighbor. From ColossalLazy. (rec)
46. Overall good read, i love how Urasawa can give even side-characters so much personality and backstory in little time. For 20th Century and 21st Century Boy. From pbayne. (rev)
47. The reality is that this is the type of work done in the interest of the artist, as he gets to draw lots of different cool things, instead of the interest of the reader. For Ranman. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
48. A cool dude whose only good point is being kind. For Machida-kun no Sekai. From Sir Blaming.
49. Guy gets reincarnated after losing everything and vows to beat the enemy that beat him. For Tales of Demons and Gods. From Furyous. (imp)

55. It was intense, but a bit taxing on your brain. For Ten The Nice Guy on the Path of Tenhou. From striferser. (rev)

57. This is pretty good. Didn't realize I wanted a mafia manga all this time. For Bungou Stray Dogs. From thesaucetastic.

63. Just a masterpiece, really all I can say about this manga. For Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. From 8 X 11 Printer Paper.

69. A trio of perfectly normal peddlers sell various things to people in trouble. Absurdist humor with a dash of morbidity ensues. For Sekitsui House. From Zweizer. (imp) striferser: This is some funny dark comedy stuff.
70. I think pretty much everything I could say would be spoilers, and this is the type of work that it's better to discover by yourself. For Kuro. From Turin Turambar. (rev)
71. A Huge Battleship on Maou-jou de Oyasumi and Prison Princess (positive).
72. This had great potential to be an awesome and charming sports series but it ended too soon. I need my jump soccer fix and this would have done it. I love the two bickering characters, its like my thing in manga. For Tokyo Wonder Boys. From Dedication Through Light.
73. About a princess who doesn't wait to get rescued but instead tries to escape herself from the Evil Overlord. For Prison Princess (one shot). From OniBarubary. (imp)

75. Has some surprising respect for the gay drag queens of the bar as well as some other gender and sexuality things. For Okama Hakusho. From OniBarubary. (imp)
76. The combination of an insane female lead, Saya no Uta-esque visceral terror and supernatural mystery is utterly irresistible to me. For Iwaihime. From A Huge Battleship. (imp)
77. A manga about a gamer-girl (western games), who gets into really bad/awkward situations on the way to school. For Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro. From 8 X 11 Printer Paper. (imp)

Well...I totally did.

But that was Luffy being dumb because of food and them both getting really into it. In the end it was Zoro trying to set Luffy straight, which isn't bad. I mean he basically did the same thing at Water 7, but throwing some mental punches instead.

This is Sanji lacking any confidence in his friends and doubling down on being an ass and resolving the issue on his own. I'm pretty sure Zeff would also like to kick his butt if he'd know the story. I mean, Sanji has always been the lone wolf doing his undercover stuff and protecting everyone, although most of it was by chance, but this feels a bit severe and lacking in trust and loyality to the crew.

I just hope he has some sort of really well thought out plan and never wanted to go through with leaving the crew, even temporarily, to fix this on his own. Even considering to leave would be a pretty heavy thing to resolve with the rest of the crew.

Edit: And thanks dramatis!
