Saw some images from Medaka box online and it makes me want to reread it. Terribly underappreciated series.

Medaka Box is awesome and it's why I'm gonna rebuy it with the new edition coming out in Italy. Still undecided what to do with the old ,shitty, edition: burn it, turn it into confetti or something else.

Bloom Into You ch26

It's a pretty good revision, and seems like everyone got its message, even if one of them isn't happy about it.

Jitsu wa Watashi wa ch188

That was quite the dramatic sequence. Now that pretty much everyone is out in the open, hopefully Youko won't face too much hardship.

Danberu nan kiro moteru? ch31

Aw, such a shame the girls didn't get their deserved focus. Poor Satomi-sensei.

Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! ch651

Figured this would happen.

I'm way behind on manga, probably for another two weeks, but really should catch up then.
Also has been a long time since I started something new. So not much to comment on right now but:

Hajime No Ippo 1193

I can't believe that this fight is still ongoing and is actually taking a turn for the worse for Ippo.
What the hell.
Maybe the story really ends with him retiring before achieving another of his goals, heh.

Puella Magi Homura Tamura vol 3 (END)
v1cKHer.jpg
4-komedy spinoff in which the titular heroine, Akemi Tamura, travels through a succession of bizarre alternate timelines. Comedic variants of serious series aren't usually my cup of tea, to the extent that I almost didn't pick this up. Good thing I changed my mind, since it's genuinely hilarious and oddly touching at times. Each chapter has a different setting that largely dictates the success of the humour, but the ideas are generally clever enough and/or sufficiently well-utilised that there's rarely a dud moment. Naturally you need to be familiar with the source material to appreciate it fully. Definitely recommended for fans of the franchise.
I really just want to regurgitate what I said previously about this. Partially because it's still fully applicable, and partially because too many things I love have ended recently and I don't have the drive to commemorate their departure. Never again will I experience the joy of seeing Tamura lose her sanity at yet another absurd timeline. Never again will I raise a (non-alcoholic) glass to all the battle-weary warriors at Akemi-ya. Never again will I shed a tear at Mami's justified and delicious suffering. Unless I go and re-read volumes 1 and 2 right now. brb

Read this when it came out last week or so. I really liked the last couple of chapters. Such a heartwarming end for how silly the whole thing was (although you can also read it as leading into Rebellion in which case it's pretty "oh boy...").
 
Uratarou

Nooooooo! Looks like it's going to end in a couple chapters. Too bad was an enjoyable manga with some literally insane art work. There were some interesting characters introduced early on that were never seen agaian or fleshed out, kinda disappointing in that respect.

One Piece ch880


Such a great couple. I really hope Pudding joins the crew.

On another note, I wonder why Luffy isn't getting to Gear 4 yet? He clearly is outmatched right now.

Prison School ch266

What a sorry state they are in.

Nejimaki Kagyu ch67


「TUSK ACT. 2」

Shokugeki no Soma ch233

Sounds like a rather original recipe, but can't be worse than pineapple on pizza.

Minamoto-kun Monogatari ch220

She certainly lives up to her reputation.

My Hero Academia 154

Damn Overhaul is rough. I am assuming Nighteye is going to be okay.

Promised Neverland 57
There is the reason I like this series. Mindgames and these crazy ass kids.

One Piece 880
Sanji and Pudding are great together.

My Hero Overhaul used Spikey Floor Attack. It wasn't very effective.

One Piece Jesus Christ she made a tsunami come to life? Big Mama is fucking tough.

Promised Neverland Ha ha creepy Emma is the best Emma. I wish we got to see more of how fucked up she actually is. These are the moments I like her the most as an MC

Black Clover Surprised the emperor is going to let them duke it out.

Dr. Stone Is.... is silver really tough to find or something?
 
Black Clover

Emperor letting them duel is an interesting decision

Promised Neverland


Psycho Emma is indeed psycho

OP

lol at Sanji's face with the Mr.Husband reaction... I am assuming someone that they met before will come in and save them unless they'll somehow dodge this out until Sanji and Pudding are done with the cake.

Dr Stone.

They employed a dwarf to do craft, smithing and Masonry... how appropriate
 
Yuri Natsu -Kagaya Inn- 4

Hana is a devil. It's important for wrongdoers to understand the immorality of their actions, but this is clearly going to start a blackmail chain that will only end in... friendship, hopefully.

Viz picked up the licensing rights to Maōjō de Oyasumi (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle), Vol 1 comes out Summer of 18.
Well that just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. And also sleepy.

My Hero Academia does so many rights.

The arcs are generally short in chapters count yet is filled with content and world-building. The illustrations are emotionally-charged in intense situations, the powers are creative, great cast of characters and I love the one-for-all vs all-for-one successors foreshadowed showdown in future.

All these are elevated by the appearance of Mirio Togata and his mission with saving Eri.

Mirio is very very good.

Solanin is getting a new chapter after 11 years and I don't know how to feel about this.
It's nice to have some resolution (not that it really needs one) after all this time.
But I just picked up the Viz version and while it's still great now I'm gonna feel it's incomplete...
 
soma 232 - 233

Lets see if Takumi's plan will pay off, since it seems like Aizen already knows what he's doing.
Also, they sure are teasing this Senzaemon and Azami meeting since they barely said anything at all.

Grand Blue Dreaming Vol 1

I bought this on a whim. First couple chapters basically involves getting drunk and then get embarrassed by your attractive cousins when they find the aftermath of drinking. Also Senpais are bad.

What are you talking about. It's totally a diving manga!
 
Moon Gundam 1

A new manga series from the writer of Unicorn featuring the mechanical designer of IBO and G-Reco set in UC 0092 (After ZZ and before Char's Counterattack)

It's got a decent start so far with some nice suit cameos. The backstory is easy enough to follow even though I don't remember anything about the Moon Moon arc in ZZ so don't be afraid to jump in if you've never watched ZZ. I'm intrigued to see where it goes.

Halcyon Lunch ch4


This continues to be darkly hilarious. Well played, Samura. Well played.

Yuri Mekuru Oshigoto ch19

I bet clumsy maid cafés exist in real lfie as well.


Everyone should take lessons in Keijo.

Rokudou no Onna-tachi ch62

Pretty good fight overall, and the resolution was nice as well.

My Hero Academia ch154

RIP Nighteye.

You now see why we called him Best Dad....I'm really drawing a blank of a "better" dad in any medium.
 
Talentless Nana 7

Yeah, she's reeaally lucky that power ended up in the hands of a relative moron. Judging from her reaction to that last photo, something unfortunate'll result from her strangulation attempt, but she obviously can't be counter-murdered or there wouldn't be a series anymore.

Very amusing and informative manga. Come for the erotica and stay for the characters. I was always interested in the character references but my face when I found out it was the same author as Kengan Asura.

Love both series so that's a jump.
