It's about damn time the megane came back into the picture.

Shirogane no Nina 17

This chapter almost made me want to get some Japanese textbooks and start studying. Almost.

food smut 55-57

tadokoro showing everyone who's boss. that montage ;_;
 
Omaera Zenin Mendokusai! 01


The story of a teacher being harassed by his students and probably going to form a harem with them.

I guess the easily thing to say is RIP the teacher's career. It's amusing at least so will keep reading.

Holyland volume 4-13

Broke my rule and started reading the scans. I was too curious.
Half of what I've read has annoyed me, while the other half psyched me. I'm really torn on this series so far.
There is only one thing I'm sure about:
Yu is one real slut, to be able to have everyone inside him like that.

They might have canceled his Me and the Devil Blues but damn it, he sure as well will make up for the lack of sales with Prison School! I mean, you know you're doing somewhat ok when the PVC cartels start making one figure after another:


Was kinda surprised Kodoku no Gourmet got a figma but then again it does have a TV drama adaptation.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
I started Skip Beats because I really enjoyed the anime but man the panel flow is hard to follow at times. There's times where I have absolutely no confidence that I'm reading the panels in the order they were intended to be read in.

I think we'd all be posting more exotic titles if we were living in Japan or could read Japanese at least., lol

Nah, I live in Europe, I just probably have a high weeaboo level.

I thought I had a new nakama. :/

I don't normally post about manga I read in Japanese because I have to spoiler tag it and mark that it's raw. And, I probably shouldn't post spoiler images. Sometimes, I read something in Japanese, then search for scans so I can post about 'em here. I still mostly read English stuff, though. I have much to learn yet.

They're gonna stop scanlating Shirogane no Nina....?

Where can I get my cute/adorable fix now....?

France is the one of the few countries where it makes sense to still use circumflexes in transliterated Japanese.
Macrons über alles, except in this case. This time, an umlaut because ūber sounds funny and wrong.

Edit: Interesting that they transliterate Haikyū with the macron, though. France confuses me!

It's a circumflexe on the u. The font just makes it look like a macron.

  37. A boy who can not die is finally visited by a shinigami and now has to find a way to survive. Wasn't bad.

Reeeeaaally ? Foie gras purée et fromage ?
What's the correlation to curry anymore ?

Tadokoro part of the chapter was cool though.

It was a deconstructed curry dish. All the flavors you would normally find in a curry are taken apart and treated as its own part of the dish, and the trick is that it should take similar to a tradtional curry dish.

Hm, Crunchyroll still seems 5 chapters short of catching up with the new ones, I'll guess I'll have to wait re-reading it. The magazine raws are horrible, so this should be a more pleasant, consistent read.
 
There was Ice Revolution that ran in Jump Square. It got canceled after 8 issues though.



The Seven Deadly Sins 65

Now this is how you do comedy action. Fairy Tail move over!
Oh my heck that looks so schway. If it was an exorcism manga it would've survived in Jump SQ.

Red Hawk finally started calling Nanatsu no Taizai The Seven Deadly Sins. I wonder what finally made them start using the English title.
 
oh gosh, all my impressions again :>
