Thats like her coolest one! (well 2nd), how can one not like how those swords!
It's nice that Fairy Tail continues his breast tradition.
It's pretty bad but oh well; hopefully it recovers!
;_;
That said, I don't hate Nisekoi... But, I can't say I love it either. Surprised it's doing as well as it is.
Sure if you think Sephiroth is "cool" then yeah it would be the "coolest one"
Fairy Tail
This entire manga is pretty much about Lucy having tits and being sexy, isn't it?
The legal way to read stuff that isn't licensed in your country, is to import it from another country in which it is licensed and published, which means, if no English speaking country publishes Vinland Saga, for example, your only legal way to read it would be to import it from Japan, or from Italy, or from France, or from another country in which it is licensed, provided you're able to read one of those other languages. Any other way is illegal, even if no entity licensed the work in your country.
Wrong character, but right idea (only open link when alone in the dark)
Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa 29 Epilogue
That was like the most perverted chapter ever in the manga. Dude went out with a blast.

Well the manga is about magic and stuff you expect it to be full of RPG stuff like that .
Personally i like Erza magic but then again i am also a huge RPG fan so that could be part of it.
It does have a main story about dragons but you don't see much of it but that not really a problem since allot of manga like that .

Fairy Tail
Train arc (1-21) finished
Pros:
Seriously this manga is just straight up meh right now...
* To specify on this point, I think this entire sequence was completely unrealistic. For example it doesn't take someone three years straight to write a book if one was jailed for it. At most, all it'd take is two weeks, maybe, cause you're spending all your time in a cell writing a book. This whole sequence is just completely off the wall especially when he comes back to cut off his arm and commit suicide afterwards. It's just...why? Doesn't make sense.
Train arc (1-21) finished
Pros:
- Dat Lucy
- It's still better than Bleach and Naruto: Shitpudding
- Everything else
Seriously this manga is just straight up meh right now...
- Character design can range from meh to horrid.
- Fights happen in the most random of shots that don't really flow very well panel-to-panel.
- The entire train sequence was one of the most anti-climatic things I've ever seen in a shonen series, and then we got another anti-climatic scene with the random demon thing.
- * The entire suicide writer backstory didn't make any logical sense whatsoever.
- The villains have goals that make no sense nor should be reasons to be villainous.
- Too much paneling that focuses on Lucy's tits and ass. Yes, we get it, Lucy is HAWT. Move on.
- I can only assume that Grey and Natsu being shirtless all the time is to appeal to yaoi fans, so I'm gonna list it here as a con.

Fairy Tail is straight up the most unashamedly cliched shounen manga right now--quite possibly also in the existence of shounen manga history.
But maybe that is the reason of its (perplexing for me) success. That, and the fact Mashima always throws boobs and panties in like every chapter.
DETECTIVE CONAN
This manga just keeps on going.......................... going......................................going............................................and going................................................................
Does its staff like, held a meeting like once a day to think up ridiculous situations/conventions for Conan to solve? Lots of the cases are so.................. imaginative.

Really you can write a book if your in jail for 2 weeks that has to tell two stories .
I mean i know FT has it problems but that is just nitpicking for the sake of it .
Fuck i am defending FT guess i bored .
That's barely a problem. The problem is that aside from that, it really has nothing. No well-paneled action scenes, no good story, nothing interesting going on...at least, from what I've read. Instead it's all replaced by titties and Natsu kicking ass without any real effort.
That isn't nitpicking, the problem is that FT tries to depict this as a "realistic" situation but falls completely flat on it's face. It's the same thing as when Bleach tries to be realistic by depicting Orihime's character in Hueco Mundo.
Yeah it's pretty great.

A con against the best and strongest characters in the manga, and Natsu who uses the most breathtaking attacks, and Gray user of the best magic and best character design in the series (though you ought to get to the next arc), yet a Pro is Lucy?! Utterly unbelievable, I cant even. Did you read Fairy Tail correctly or something? This doesnt make sense. Lucy is annoying and just like in the way, and nowhere on my list for good looking characters in the series.
Are you my antithesis or something, you always, without fail

DTL is here hopefully this is fun .
Truth is if you don't like FT after the Guild vs Guild or maybe Laxus arc your not going to like it at all.
Still the anime has some of the best OST's i have ever listen to .

Grey is just a shirtless dude in some jean shorts, I don't see how that's "good character design" whatsoever

So THAT'S where this image comes from!
Lucy so fucking moe and funny. Best character in the manga.
Just think of how much better Fairy Tail would be if the only character in the manga was Lucy. Let's do some Garfield without Garfield shit, only with Fairy Tail. No Natsu, no Grey, maybe Erza.

Bestest manga ever. Lovable characters, funny, cute art, barely any dialogues worth reading and Lala+Haruna hnngghh Chapter 24 is best chapter ever
Now to let's get to the serious part. Why does a student who take pictures of naked chicks get only suspended from school for 2 weeks? Or a principal who peeks on girls in a public bath gets away with it? I'm very worried about Japan's lax laws on these issues. They should seriously do something about it for the sake of the children.

Thats not good character design? Yet Lucy is? What?
I think he provides more entertainment than Lucy does, at least gets along way better with Natsu, etc. At least is also way more useful.
Plus the "funny" aspect of Lucy just comes from other more compelling characters.
Thats like Fairy Tail without the Fairy Tail-the best parts.
It's weird, though. Half the cases are pretty unimaginative and basic and then all the language trick ones make me sad at my inability to moonrune effectively. Then again, I used to read a lot of detective fiction :x
A good amount of them are pretty good. Notably any of the longer cases. And then the few, "Seriously? Fuck you man, who the hell thinks up that stuff?" cases.
Lucy isn't good character design, she's just hot and provides solid comedic relief that doesn't involve Happy being cute. Mashima needs to start writing hentai manga. The story quality would be the same, but now with sex and nudity.
Yeah if Lucy were the only one to take on that evil mage guild, maybe the arc would've involved doing something other than Natsu kicking ass and ending the entire arc too soon. We wouldn't want that to happen!
This describes basically every early arc of Fairy Tail. Have fun.
The best cases are the classical closed room murders in castles, palaces, mansions, and so on. Cases with just the kids are dumb and stupid. Also the moonrunes seem very lazy to me. Maybe they take a lot of effort in Japanese but it's like a cop-out way to make a case complicated.
The longer stuff with the BO are pretty good since they are always epic and lots of shit happen.

Fortunately every arc doesnt end that way as Mashima consistently throws us for loops and surprises constantly keeping us on our toes and at the edge of our seats in anticipation. One of the things I like about Fairy Tail is the pacing, every arc feels just long enough to be quite pleasing and refreshing.
Closed rooms are always fun to solve. Moonrune puzzles I just can't appreciate since I can't solve them
Some wordplay puzzles are still good, though, so I'm not entirely writing off all of them as being not complex.

Anybody reading Kindaichi? Considering it got a live action version I guess it's a pretty a successful manga?
As an overall series, despite its tendency to stretch things to incredible, incredible length, Conan is a superior manga to Kindaichi but I personally find Kindaichi as a more likeable hero than Shinichi.
Some of the featured cases there were so out of this world, though. And a great number of them were surprisingly gory.

I've somehow never heard of this and I will have to look into this now.
Mmm, yes...

Coelaclanth: 1-8[end]
This manga was so silly, I actually question why the hell I just read it. The love triangle, it's as typical as you'd expect of the genre's trappings, no real variation or even the slightest of aversions, no; it goes head-first into trope-ville--Broody man-beast vs the silly guy destined to lose. The thriller bits, while ultimately empty, did add to the procession of the plot, a lot actually, but those monologues of the main girl, they were almost kind of ironic. She would voice these sudo-philosophical sayings, but with a quick bit of thought any reader would be able to gauge that she was spouting simple sophisms and rationalizing the silliest shit ever. Ex: "Why isn't it okay for me to love someone's who's been dirtied?" Uhhhhh, because you met him just the last night in a telephone booth, and already know he's a murderer, you silly woman. The art was good, but nothing unusual of the genre. Would not recommend.

Why so fast paced, though still pretty good. Fortunately that assure Maho gets a seat, but we dont have a third person who received a message.
I hope good reviews of the volumes means its going to continue being serialized...

Hey now I just think Lucy is cute...seems DTL thinks Lucy isn't, though, so we're still opposites!

Read through the currently translated chapters of Magi today, was not impressed. The thing that really turned me off was how inactive Aladdin was as a main character, it's basically like Alibaba is the actual lead.
It reminds me of the early chapters of Negima when Negi relied on slow spell casting and magical tools, and had to have partners to fight his battles for him until he said "fuck this shit" and got proactive, went and learned martial arts and became the biggest badass on the block (read: when it became cool).
While I actually like the other characters (I think Natsu is pretty cool myself), Lucy is indeed fucking amazing and one of the best characters.
Hopefully now that he lost Ugo he'll actually start kicking ass on his own and stop acting as a prop for Alibaba.

Something so immaculate requires no defense.
It is!
Addicted to Curry (nearly caught up)
I am addicted to the recipes. Goddamn it's like they swallow me. I can't even finish a chapter in half an hour if there's a recipe.
And I'll never make any of them. The fuck is turmeric powder? Sounds like a disease.
Yeah, still illegal even if you own the books.

Kindaichi is an okay manga, and it's finished IIRC, so that's a plus point against Conan, hahah. He is a likeable protagonist.
But stay away from Q.E.D., from the same creator/artist. In my opinion this one is just rubbish/boring.
In any event, the Liar Game. For a "realistic" manga, I find it highly amusing that such an organization/game can exist in the "real world." I mean, what the hell.... It's a good manga, though.

What, the last two chapters don't show Akamatsu the troll in fine form? I kind of think they do, and I would't be surprised at all if that plot twist happens. I mean, they are the main characters, is some other girl really going to win?
I don't know if it's the best 4koma ever, but it is a pretty good one, yes. It's definitely usually funny.
All of the major first world nations have signed agreements to respect each other's copyright laws, actually. Enforcement (or threats of enforcement to get people to remove content) in other nations of things not actually sold in those countries may be infrequent, but do happen sometimes. It's not an issue of US law exclusively.
If you own a legal copy too, that'd be like downloading a rom of a game you own a cart copy of, I'd think -- a grey area, pretty much.
Lucy's one of my favorite characters too, but I kind of like the series.
Natsu's very generic, but I don't dislike him, really... I do find it annoying how he always gets the final fights (after the early part of the series), and he is a very generic shonen protagonist, but he's not as annoying as some of them. Oh, it was kind of different that he actually starts powerful, instead of weak like shonen protagonists usually do, but apart from that he's generic.
As for Grey, he's bland, but his backstory's decent. I find him more just somewhat uninteresting than anything, but he's not actively bad.
Well, that got me to read it at least. It didn't really help that whoever translated it has an incredibly shaky grasp of the English language.
Also!
