A town where there are no therapists 31 - END

So, we finally arrived at the dénouement, the unraveling of all the issues and plot points. We discover the source of all the tensions and problems and family, and Eba, after living with Haruto, learned to face her problems head-on, and thus reconciliate with her sister-in-law.
They now finally form a truly cohesive family and lived happily ever after.
Having no more reason to return to Hiroshima, Eba said goodbye to Haruto, promising him to see him again when they're in college.
Melancholic, Haruto reminisces his moments passed with Eba in the Shinkansen, and thus the series end.


See ? It could've ended right here, it would've been good enough ! Buuuut noo, let's all hop aboard the retard-train to another 140 chapters ! It hurts me that this is still going strong while Mx0 ended too early. Japanese audience is stupid.


And seriously, do all people in this manga have some serious issues ? When there will be a pedo tentacle fetichist ? Go to a therapist people ! Well I can understand them a bit. Even I would go mad if everyone in the vicinity looked like *exactly* like me [/troll]

survivor:
Negative Happy Chain Saw Edge (ch8)
Love Collage (ch119)
Karin (v14)
Threads of Time (ch46)
Id (v25)

-I think that is a pretty good spread. See if you can match up to my chapter count and/or length.
-Pick your poisons and Infinite Justice witness.
-3 week deadline I think makes sense for this.

Just to be clear, I meant the translation of Blatt to Blade. Blatt means leaf or sheet in German. Blade is Klinge. /smartypants


I think I'll join you guys, gonna take a look at my backlog later.

Edit: When are you starting?

Edit: Can you be a bit clearer on the rules? Only manga you haven't started yet? What do the chapter numbers mean?

We start when survivor makes his picks that match up to my read length. Then Infinite Justice does a witness (so you can't worm out) and away we go. Right now we are jumping the gun a bit since I have one vol of Punpun left but that's alright.

The bet goes like this:
  • Pick a series or multiple series you have wanted to read yet have not.
  • Provide choices for the other person to select from which matches the length of your reads. Stuff can get ruled out if it has been read already or all the choices suck. But these are your choices so you are basically forcing them to read stuff. That's part of the fun since it will expand your reads.
  • Set a deadline for completion and review.
  • Alternate who picks each bet

EDIT:
Chapter numbers are current length.

Mushishi is 10 volumes and Love Collage is 12 volumes so that's roughly the same amount of reading you will be doing.

Wow. That was crazy.

The instant I saw the video I thought Ging would jump on that shit. Then they said Ging quit the Zodiacs.. I think he'll go for it. He'll go with them then ditch them once they're out. And I lol'd when I saw Pariston already there, this guy isn't joking around.
And if Ging goes for it, then Gon will tie into that. And being such a big deal, the Zoldyacks + Killua might tie into it too.

Not surprising that Beyond would be sort of villain-ish given his context but I don't think he's that bad of a guy. Or ignorant enough to rush to his death.
I doubt he'll have no problem going out but I also doubt that no one will be able to go. There's no way the arc will end with no one at least seeing a hint of the new world.

And yeah that was the worst chapter ever to go into hiatus.

Hiatus X Hiatus 340:

Togashi definitely went all out with this chapter. Even the art was better than it has been in a couple of chapters. I hope we see new releases between Christmas and this time next year but Togashi has built up enough chapters for a couple of volumes (usually he only has one volume per hiatus) so who the hell knows when he'll be back next time.

Good chapter overall though. I doubt that Beyond is Netero's son though, he's probably a clone or something.

Narutu: F

Goddamn this shit is stupid. You know what I was thinking about earlier? These are 5 Kage. FIVE FUCKING KAGE and this battle is nothing more than a snooze fest. Then, I was thinking about previous battles involving Kage. 4th Hokage vs Anyone? 3rd Hokage vs Orochimaru? Real5th Hokage vs Pain (I'm talking about Jiraiya, not that pussy Narutu)? We already know the first was a boss...come on.

This is five kage and the battle is this boring? This is just awful.

The sasuke shit? Awful.

Hitman Reborn: F

This shit is SO boring. It doesn't even feel like anything is at stake. The biggest fault of Hitman Reborn is that EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER is paper thin and has 0 depth. This is a big problem because on the surface, there are plenty of likable characters that Amano has created.

I don't think we can scramble a three person bet right now. So for this round if you want to join in this particular one, just pick some stuff out of the four reads we are reading overall.

-Advance of the Titans
-Ubel Blatt
-Mushishi
-Love Collage

If you have read most of them or feel like you can't put up with any, try finding one to make up for it from my list. If you then still come up empty, have survivor find you something that works. Still fail, then just do a side-bet with survivor. That will appease his inner action junkie. The goal is to equal the chapter count and length I posted so everyone is reading about the same amount. We typically have been writing a couple reviews per vols plus the final.
