Seven Deadly Sins In practicality, I know I should think Meteor is dumb. But whenever it happens I lose my shit. Too bad its only ever bad guys who use it.

Demi-chan wa Kataritai is so adorably good. I thought I was done with the "monster girl" sub-genre and then I came across this one. It's excellent.

Talentless Nana 7

Always hate a cliffhanger.

Anyways when this dude dies she should THOROUGHLY check to make sure he doesn't leave any clues to her identity behind. I could see him doing that just to screw her over after he's gone.

I miss when everyone was happy during the sports festival. I think we get it at this point, being Taichi is suffering. He can't even convince himself to like someone cause his complex around Touma.

[Ashiomi Masato] Crime Girls 1-6

If I had to sell this with a single satirical title, it'd be "The Boy Who Fucked Through Time"
 
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.

I'm still dreading Takumi loosing to Eizan, lol. Would be so bad, immediately C tier.

And yeah, about the reunion, the worst thing is that they just said what we all knew since the beginning of the manga, smh.
 
Twin Sisters 2 (Director's Cut)

I feel that this additional scene was absolutely crucial to appreciating the subsequent prank. Or something.

Madoka - My Dear Future (SFW doujin)

She's not the only one who needs heart surgery now. I try not to dwell on Moemura too much as I largely just see her as an unfortunate but necessary larval form, which's probably not the right mindset to hold towards a character I like so much. On a relevant note, do something with that concept movie already. Or just ditch it and make another Homu-centric masterpiece.
 
Downfall had a nice ending.

That was worth the read. Beautiful art too.


My hero academia is getting nuts. I bet Deku will be able to use 20% as a base in the future after he gives it a run in this fight. His body will need to grow up a bit more to take advantage of the higher percentages. I wonder if there will be a time skip in the next 100 or so chapters.

Eeh. It would have been better if the protagonist wasn't a blackmailing dickhead. Story takes too long to actually move forward and the sex scenes are too vanilla, not to mention the incest.

Mirio is very very good.
I wasn't big into Mirio at first

And then he punched Overhaul in the fucking face without his quirk and I was won kvef

I love how he has abundance of empathy to understand Eri's reaction to pain was a habit, saved her with a smile on his face, and then punched Overhaul quirkless while proclaiming nothing he ever done till now will be useless.

This in contrast to his quirk which involves precise bodily control and takes ages to master perfection.

By far my favorite hardworker in Shounen manga.

Downfall end
It really is a tale about a downfall of a mangaka. His life is a fucking mess, and even the thing that he really love, manga destroy his life.

My hero academia latest

Miro is a great character. Would be a shame if this is the end of him.

Is this porn?

Yup it's porn. Eh, sure, could always go for a quick read.

As far as timey-wimey smut goes my favorite remains Layers of White, which has the advantage of starring a yandere moth girl, I admit.

I should've made that clear actually...
Ups, didn't read the previous page, and i thought it'z just regular lewd like velvet kiss or something ;p


So uh yeah, quite entertaining. I feel like the manga could still work even without the sex part, but i guess that what make it entertaining

A vanilla version where he just gets needs to kiss would work as well. And then he can make out through time to save his imouto.

Caught up on Food Wars
Azami is awful. I like the direction they went with Tsukasa's personality, but supporting the whole only top class restaurants should be available is bad. Creativity vs conformity can be a good conflict, but it is implemented poorly here. And probably isn't a theme that should be applicable to the cooking/food industry on that scale. The Saiba flashback didn't help sell me on Azami's motivations either.

The Erina development had some nice scenes but she spends to much time petrified by her father for my liking, It would help if we got to see her have a real match, but that is definitely coming soon. Would like to see her beat Azami in a match, but I'm not sure how that would come about.

Kuga and Rindo are both great/hilarious. Hayama's betrayal wasn't exactly well executed.

Series hits a rough patch, but the fun character interactions keep it good enough for me. The current arc has been better. Megumi better not lose this...

Downfall fin.

Hmm, not really of one of Asano's better works, but I did enjoy this last chapter. The crying fan who told him how his work pulled her through tough times and that catching him off guard was interesting. Imagine a few depressed fans have reached out to him over the years.

Reiraku (Downfall) ch8 (End)


It ended better than I feared, and presented a pretty interesting view of the manga industry. I still wonder how much of the protagonist's thoughts and circumstances echoes those of Asano's.

The contrast between that scene and what the girl said was great. In the end she's the one hurting him for no reason.
 
Maou-jou de Oyasumi 43

It's always hilarious when the starting area enemies accidentally summon an endgame boss. I know the princess's viciousness shouldn't surprise me by now, but sticking a broken cup handle into the eyes of another girl still made me wince a little.
 
Danberu nan kiro moteru? 29 - 31

I look forward to seeing more chapters with the other two teachers.

Too bad about the girls TV appearance though.
 
Of course he won't because hes a fucking jobber.

But maybe he will get this one, maybe

Eizan is also a jobber and someone has to win. I also can't see it beint another clean resistance sweep. Eizan is the most expendable member of Central though he does have his revenge beef with Soma so that's a point for him to stay around. I honestly can't tell if Megumi or Aldini is more expendable for the resistance, both characters the series pays lip service to them being strong and having grown a ton, yet neither really has a major win and are only here cause Rindou was being Rindou.

Princess summon too OP

I don't know what it is about this manga, but it just makes me giggle like an idiot
 
Madoka and Homura are Starting Something Lewd (SFW short)
THE BLESSING OF MAITAKE IS UPON US. Only briefly, but dear goddess I've missed her work.

Performance anxiety is a serious issue affecting thousands of magical girls around the world, but with your help we can change this. $5 a month could buy Akemi Homura a blindfold, earmuffs and gloves so that she can undress Madoka without being conscious of her body. $10 a month could buy her a supply of medical tranquillisers to keep her hands steady. $20 a month could buy her a life-sized Madoka model to practice on. Any extra donations would be used to keep me sane as I rock back and forth waiting for the author's C92 doujin to materialise.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
So the Jump series that starts next week is localized as "Lycopene the Tomatoy Poodle". The first three chapters will run in the English Jump (as per usual). It looks weeeeird.
 

HStallion

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Gorgeous.



I don't expect Vertical's Gundam Origin-quality paper, but I hope it will be decent enough it won't rip on subsequent reads.

Woah that's nice. What kind of price are we looking at for this?

A tomato poodle lol.

Was hoping to get info on the other two series but not yet I guess. I think there is a week in between this being introduced and the other two so that could be why they aren't mentioned yet.

Next weeks issue would probably have been well over 300 pages if Seraph wasn't on break.

Damn these overpowered summons! One thing is for sure, the Princess doesn't discriminate.

Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. ch10

It can be hard to watch your weight, especially when sabotage is afoot.

Tomo-chan wa Onna no ko! ch653-655

How cliché. At least Carol had a good time.

The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars 1

The end of the show gave me almost everything I wanted, except for 1 thing and well, this fix it right from the start with a cool kiss scene.
Pretty nice art all throughout the volume and the story set up isn't half bad.
It was also nice to see the coming out scenes with family and friends cheering and approving. Maybe a bit cheesy in a way but I approve of it, also because the drama for now seems focused on another aspect, mainly a misunderstanding that is sure to bring in a war between spirits and humans.
I did find it weird how it just came out that Katara was bi, and some past avatar was also bi.


Anyways, Turf Wars feels off to a great start and I recommend it to anyone who liked the Korra show and wants to see more of Korra and Asami.
