DragonBall AF "vols" 1-4


This was pretty awesome though its merely fan fiction LOL.

Everything plus the kitchen sink was thrown in this in regards to the series and the references are plenty. Also most of the stuff feels like stuff that would happen if they left off after GT and it would be somewhat logical (though there were a few that were cringeworthy imo) I also actually dug the explanation that was given for Goku's fate at the end and how it continues/plays a part in this story.


Sadly the "end" was massive cockblock, but it was kinda fun until it lasted imo.

This is enjoyable stuff. Basically Ohtaka's humorous asides in Magi as a series, instead of a sideshow. The shonen potential keeps expanding and the comedy is nice and lewd, without a constant train of references being used as a crutch.

Even if it is fanfiction I'm surprised it actually exists. I always thought this was just some BS rumor that caught on.

It was but other from trolling i think some fans really wanted it to be true. Went so far that someone made this, gave it some actual thought and even aped the art style to the point you could have sworn it was Toriyama (when it showed a certain person again i was like "holy shit!!!")

It is, and even more-so these AF comics are actually based extensively on these rumors in various ways, based off the long list of fake episode titles to form their storylines.

One Piece

Just when I thought One Piece has been getting boring (I don't mean action. I mean character interactions and emotional weight), we get a chapter where Zoro tells Luffy to quit dicking around - awesome moment - and typical Luffy doing things with pure joy and ownage. I love it. Oda is still the master.

You know, this is just a random tangent, but for some whacky reason I am afraid I won't still be alive by the time Oda finishes One Piece. I mean, how long will he stretch his story? And even if he is done with it, I doubt the publisher will stop harassing him to continue One Piece considering the massive amount of success and money it enjoys--just like Toriyama with Dragon Ball.

I mean, let us say we make an approximation, on what percentage the story of One Piece really is now in terms of nearing its ending? 50%? I daresay it's even lower than that..., my guesstimate is around 30% to 40%. At times it feels like One Piece is so.... endless.

Well, at the very least I enjoy it much, much more than stuff like Detective Conan (undisputed filler King) or Hajime no Ippo (can't understand why folks calling it one of the best sport mangas there is, but that is for another matter.)

Heh, sorry, just a random musing.

If I was Oda and anyone from anywhere in the manga industry dared to come to my house with requests after I finished One Piece, I would shut the door on his face. I mean, there's a limit to obligations.

He already says in interviews how he doesn't have time for his family, and talking about his obligations to finish the series series for his fans. I would say it's more like he's trying to make it the best he can but there's no point if someone forces him to go over the limit.

But yeah we've got a good 10 more years easily. Please don't die.

Maou: Juvenile Remix vol 9


Junya is really a great main character. He's way more obsessed than his brother, as he's shown in this volume that he'll do anything to find out info/get revenge/stop Inukai personally.
The latest villains inserted are, in their own ways, more over the top than most of the characters shown so far and are also pretty sick, so I can't wait to see them get taken out, hopefully by Cicada.

Also, speaking of this series, I hope the spin-off Waltz gets picked up. Grasshopper was picked up and I bought the first volume this month, but I want the one centered on Cicada.

I don't know.... there are folks out there who are just... confused, you know?, when the time of them stopping doing something they have been doing for many, long while, finally arrives. Obviously I don't know anything about his psyche, but I can clearly see the amount of love he pours for the world of manga-crafting from what he have shown me so far in OP, and for some reason I can see him belonging to the that confused-people type since he loves doing it so much, hahaha.

Also, the bolded one above, is that for me or Oda? Hahahaha.

So what if kishi pulls an ultimate troll showing in the next chapter that, Naruto's Rasengan wrecks Tobi's face beyond identification, or completely blows his head off, and kills him.

Best ultimate Troll ever and we will never know Tobi identity and he will end up as nobody.

read it in nf forums and it cracked me up :|

This was pretty great. I really liked the main character's little facial expressions and how much I related to her since this entire week I've been asking myself pretty similar questions. (stuck at a job I don't enjoy, going to college but not sure I picked the right major, etc) Don't think this helped clear up much of that confusion but it was nice to see how it was handled here. Billy is awesome.

Dunno how the future is gonna be but yeah I don't think Oda will just up and quit manga (just not 20 pages a week right away). None of them do. How many of them actually stop drawing after finishing one or two successful series? Those silly authors get addicted to success.

I'm just saying, Oda's free when he finishes OP on his own terms. If he still sticks to the OP universe that's dope too.

You have no idea how much it's killing me that nobody is translating Secondo! seriously man. Made me mad when I found out. Hasn't it been a while since Secondo! started anyway?

I saw the Bartender anime, and while it was pretty cool I don't know if I would want to read the manga for it.

You definitely should, Bambino! is seriously one of the best manga I've ever read man. Love the way the relationships evolve throughout the story. So gooood, I wish it had an anime. I'll check out Addicted to Curry though to see how it is.


I don't necessarily mean cooking manga, but just something where the characters are as good. Everybody in Bambino is pretty mature and I just want more manga with a believable cast of characters.

though i expect the real explanation to be more wtf-inducing (like how the real Madara stayed alive. using the Rinnegan was more plausible than what he actually did)
So he got bitter because he was raging at himself for years for not asking Kakashi to simply pull him clear?

Nope, kakashi went don and finished him off with his Rakiri.
