Berserk 344 potato version

There's too many characters in this series now. Berserk is already far too long in the tooth and this arc sure as shit ain't helping.

This series went to SHIT in record time. Takes two chapters to just shit all over everything. It's not even a "lol ntr" thing. It's a "why does this even exist?" thing. What's the point of this? Black Label already exists. We're knee deep into this series already running too long. And now we...introduce another love interest that looks like Kaoru who finds out about breathers in about 2 minutes? What the fuck? How does this sound like a good idea to the writer?
 
Murenase! Shitton Gakuen ch.3
MC tries to rig the entry test for the cooking club, and his reward is eating literal shit. Rather fitting.

Plus I learned something new about Koalas.
 
I started reading this older manga from 1989, Okama Hakusho about a guy in college who gets drunk with his friends and they put girl stuff on him and it turns out he's super cute as a girl so his buddy takes him to a drag queen bar for him to earn cash and there he falls in love with a girl who comes in.

Whew.

So it's 1989 Japan and as tone deaf as you'd expect but has some surprising respect for the gay drag queens of the bar as well as some other gender and sexuality things. It's pretty charming and funny with...unique artwork (sorry but goddam 80s and 90s manga just had a style I do not like) so all the characters are very easy to pick out and define.

That said, you have to take their treatment of stuff with a grain of salt. As I said, 1989 Japan. He basically gets mouth-raped and it's played for laughs. So you know...forewarned.

Edit: Oh god it has an OAV
 
Complex Age 1
The serialisation of a one-shot I read in late 2014, but with a number of changes, including a younger FeMC and a shift from gothic lolita fashion to anime cosplay. My love of gothloli compels me to curse the author for the switch, but I begrudgingly accept that it'll (probably) give it more widespread appeal, and it (probably) has greater potential as a story device. She doesn't look anywhere near as stylish as her one-shot counterpart though. Hmph.
 
Prison Princess (One-shot)


Pretty fun little one shot. About a princess who doesn't wait to get rescued but instead tries to escape herself from the Evil Overlord. She takes being a Princess pretty seriously. I'd read an ongoing about a Princess who does step over triangle chokes.

Kinda silly how dedicated to her image she is but it worked for the story.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Berserk Episode 344

We are about to get an info dump like nothing since Guts and crew made it to Flora's home. I believe the next couple of chapters we are going to get some major mysteries at least partially explained and of course get some major character growth and progression. Not too mention that time operates slower on the Island means by the time they do leave some serious time could have passed in the rest of the world. Even commenting on how the Elf King can help restore Casca's mind!

Hunter X Hunter Chapter 359

Well the ship is just under way and already things are starting to go down. Nice to see Kurapika in serious business mode and even pulling out a gun!

I am a Hero Chapter 228

I'm not really sure what the Hell is going on in this series anymore. I still really like it but I'm honestly confused where things are going anymore.

Aoki matches always deliver. That Prince guy has a good gimmick, too bad he's probably gonna get murdered and never seen again.

Ruri spent years watching Onodera waffle around like a wet noodle and decided she wasn't going to make that same mistake. Good for her!

Tsugumi reminded everyone why she's the best.

Love so Life 101 - Moment finally arrived. Sad. If this was a anime I'd be shedding a tear I suspect.

Nana to Kaoru 149 - Nana really is lonely. Nana really not very good at choosing a phone passcode.

My god. The author is a fucking garbage for going to this route. This shouldn't even happening. Oh well, I'll just ride along.

How different are the anime and manga of Ushio To Tora? Just finished the anime which I loved and was wondering if it cut out much and is it worth tracking down the manga?

Glad to see deku's mom standing up for what has been building up for a while.
and lol bakugous home environment. I can see where he gets it from.
 
Guts is getting his hopes up, thinking his journey is almost over. The poor guy is probably going to get crushed.

I guess the question is will gut's growing jrpg party be violently cut down before this is said and done to even further add to Gut's rage so that he ends up being 1 against the entire army of falconia?

I don't remember why I thought this manga was good......really having a hard time seeing where that logic came from.

Well I'm finding some interesting elements. Certainly explains why Hiroshi has a hate on for Kaoru given his family circumstances.

And certainly breaking into Nanas phone clearly shows what a dirtbag whatshisface is.

Still it is bothersome to break Nana and Kaoru up for this this kind of unoriginal story that seems to typical of romance manga. I guess Ore Monogatari is the lone exception.
 
Tokyo Wonder Boys 1 - 4

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.

Went to shit as soon as this new arc started.

Well I thought doing a long distance relationship story was worth. Of course I guess some people feel the whole comic is pointless because of Black Label and the knowledge of how that plays out.

So much plot going on, I'm not sure I can handle this.

I forgot Claude still thought of Tsugumi as a boy. The reveals aa glorious.

Ruri shaming every non Marika girl with that forward confession.

Im guessing Marika and Chitoge meeting will be for Marika to give assurance and stenght to Chitoge in her own way.

I'm guessing it's going to have more to do with the magicians not being able to help Casca at all. I'd like for her to come back, get armed up, and ride out with Guts to kick Griffith's shit in, but I have a feeling Guts won't get that happy ending.
