City Hunter (or the magical power of boners)

So I've been reading this lately and it keep getting more and more ridiculous and I can't say I'm complaining. I admit though I was weirded out by the entire arc about Ryo's boner.

Brilliant as usual. I hope they manage to work out exactly what's wrong with Dunya in time and I wonder where Aladdin's planing on going on his own and the reasons for such a thing. I don't want the gang to break up again. :(

I am a Hero ~chapter 9

Finally, shit started happening. The first volume is boring as hell, but it does a good job at sprinkling in little creepy moments and tidbits that show there is stuff going on that the MC is just unaware of. It also does a pretty good job of making the MC seem off. It's pretty crazy to see the MC get so angry and passionate about manga but killing his girlfriend results in the completely calm reaction of writing a note and heading to the police station to turn himself in. MC seems interesting to say the least.

Aladdin has so much swag, shit is illegal. Dunno how I feel about the trio possibly breaking up again, but I believe in Ohtaka.

I think Hakuryuu just turned into Ed.

I like Dunya so I kind of hope she doesn't get killed off or made into a useless character that's never seen again.

...she's probably doomed.

I was totally expecting a wooden arm or something to go with the Djinn he ended up with.

I think they'll probably expand on her role with the Magnoshtat/Mustashim Kingdom. I doubt it'll be anything significant like a whole arc, but who knows. Everything's been set up and now with Yamu getting tossed into the mix I doubt Dunya will just die in bed or something at this point.

Ao no Exorcist spec chapter (37.5?)

I loved the cover, Shima is my second favorite character in this series after Rin. I thought the chapter was alright mainly because thats not the pairing that I dont think anyone had for him.

Awesome so far. The interaction between Baam/Koon really reminds me of Gon/Killua. The interaction with Rak puts them over the top, though, since he's superior to Kurapica or Leorio.

Naruto: Road to Ninja

I liked it, everyone just hanging out and being friends was refreshing in regards to the current place of Naruto. Actually its something that I dont recall ever happening a single time before in Shippuden. This was much better than the Road to Sakura episode or the kind of tie with Naruto SD episode.

Yomigaeru Kiro (one shot)

Decent art, story was an interesting take on a police detective and criminal. Ending spoiler Was caught off guard when the boy killed himself in the bathroom, what even!

It is implied he is using Zagan power since it is a wood arm.

That's the third time in this series I get startled by off screen development. He already got an arm? They sure don't mess around. I wonder if he can move it like normal or if he's just gonna use it to balance the lance. He obviously grew it himself so maybe he can move it with magic.

Also Aladdin, holy crap. Just let him grow up a little and he'll be the total opposite kind of womanizer Sinbad is.

About the breakup, can't say I'm opposed to the idea even if I like the 3 together.
It's kinda hard to imagine Mor and Ali splitting up too but with this trend it's logical they will. Each of them still has his own business to take care of that isn't really connected to the other 2.

Finally got the motivation to start this. For anyone that doesn't know, this is what Ohtaka, the author of Magi, did before that. The art is obviously very similar, but it's a completely different kind of series. Rather than a semi-standard battle shounen, it's a simultaneous battle/harem/comedy series focusing on a martial artist girl trying to revive her clan by getting impregnated by a dude she knew from childhood. But like all harems, the dude wants nothing to do with her and has long since given up the martial arts lifestyle, instead aspiring to be a prosecutor.

Now I had already seen the anime, so this prologue chapter wasn't really new to me, but I did notice the dialogue was even more suggestive than its counterpart even if the actual visuals aren't. It's still funny, but my stance hasn't really changed yet that it's merely above average rather than awesome like Magi. Of course toward the end of the anime, there seemed to be a pretty significant genre shift, which I look forward to getting to.

I guess.. this is more or less ending? I'm so confused right now. What's going on. The scanlation group just dropped it too. This is so weird. I think I forgot the entire chapter I just read because it didn't really register to begin with.

Maybe the author got the cancellation notice just before this chapter..

Yep, it had some good scenes here and there but in general it still looked cheap and uninspiring like most other webtoons.

Didn't know you were reading it. It's pretty damn good romance manga.

Like I said the scanlation group literally just dropped it.

With this kind of chapter, though, you could really just remove the last "see next chapter" sentence and it would basically be the ending.

7th was right. This definitely feels like the closest thing to a "mainstream" work from Shintaro Kago. I still probably wouldn't put it in that category though.

Anyway, it's a super interesting premise. Mankind has shrunk and have "disassembled" the older, bigger humans and turned them into machinery. Sort of has a Planet of the Apes feel in the sense the "dominant" life-forms are no longer dominant, but taken even further as the dismembered corpses of the old humans are central to this new society.

As with most of the guy's stuff, very creative and pretty disturbing. Wish the ending wasn't so abrupt, but I can kind of guess what happens next.
