Well well, they got some interesting allies.

Still, glad that they aren't putting too much time into the Points, though I wonder how much Mikami will change.

Tokyo Ghoul:RE 57
I said damn, this arc was just to much for me.

Shokugeki-no Soma 147
predictable, boring, and Eizan was overhyped just to go out like a punk. They better have another match for the seat.

My Hero Academia 71
This training arc is starting off so good

Haikyuu!! 186
Too much suspense, I don't think this will end till 188-189

I think maybe both him and Tsukki, why spend that time developing Tsukki for this battle (and to come back) yet he hasn't done anything. Though we do need the Ushiwaka Hinata thing going on.

he hasn't done anything but he's gone through a massive shift this match, so i wouldn't be all that miffed if he had a moment after the game to show how he's changed instead of an in match one like hinata should have

what shounen jump series from 2008 onward are good? i have a lot of catching up to do

Sket Dance debuted near the end of 2007, is good
A lot of people like psyren, wasn't much of my tastes
Double Arts is mourned here whenever it's brought up (canceled)
Bakuman is good
Beelzebub is good up a point then is whatever/bad
Medaka Box is good if you get into it's groove, otherwise RIP
Nisekoi isn't good (unless you really enjoy nothing happening harems) but it enjoys a high readership (or at least used to before something happened)
Haikyuu!! is a great sports series
Assassination Classroom is also great, and also probably ending soon
Shokugeki no Soma is foodgasms, great to look at
My Hero Academia is one of the latest jump thing to survive a year and is also already getting an anime
Straighten Up! Welcome to Shika High's Competitive Dance Club is also a liked new thing

Shokugeki no Soma
Magico
Anedoki
Nurarihyon no Mago
Saiki Kusuo no Sainan
Beelzebub

Of course what you find good might be different to what I find good but these are all worth a try in my opinion.
 
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

lol a great return

Nozaki is getting hammered by in direct insults about his manga job, while Shiba is the biggest indoor closet anti social guy who just happens to be one of the most popular people in the school
 
Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii 01-02


A gaming otaku and a fujoshi reunite since middle school while working at a company.

amusing stuff, I can see the main pairs already forming, dunno if I super care if they do hook up but I am liking the regular office humor mixed with otaku jokes

'Nozaki-kun can make girl goes wild with his right hand' that double entendre.
Wow, i just realize i'm using similar question as Mikorin to gauge someone otaku level.

Uchi no maou kamimasen yo 25-26

Not sure if researcher or demon slayer. He singlehandedly kick demon king ass
Magical obese...Why they didn't let him go wild and unleash his power or something, i dunno.


Demi-chan wa Kataritai 5

I can see this is one getting anime adaptation in 2016.
brb reading dullahan doujin

Tokiwa Kitareri!! 0-29

MATSUENA Shun new series. Not as good as History Greatest Disciple, but I thought the beginning with all 3 prologues were good.
 
Welp. That was that. Interesting episode to say the least. It gave more questions than answers. The title should have just been "Makeup sex". I'm having a bad feeling of what may come, specially if that woman is who I think she is.

shhh Graham I'm still compiling this Radiant map
Nickelodeon - fin.


A surreal collection of quirky short-stories - some linked together, though most aren't - that flirt with the supernatural, pop culture, relationships, Kurt Cobain's shotgun, and loss.

There's this morbid glee to Nickelodeon that's irresistible. It's hilarious, and macabre, and off the wall crazy. There's also a genuine warmth that ties all of this together though. A story about a girl who fell asleep in the zoo and is being escorted back outside by a talking tiger takes a touching turn with a tug on her skirt, another story about a boy with urinary problems and a girl with hearing issues ends up surprisingly sweet for something so horribly violent.

There's a handful of chapters here that I could call a favorite, like the ghost girl giving """advice""" to a gay couple she haunts, or a stowaway trying to bargain with a robot on a space ship, but I'm probably most partial to Comet Naruna, about an MMO player who dumps all her stats into run speed. It kind of hit me unexpectedly hard. Like every other chapter here in Nickelodeon, it's less than ten pages, but still crafts a better story than what most mangaka could hope to achieve in a full-length series.

Dowman Sayman's something else, man.

Man Nickelodeon is so good. I always go back to read my favorite stories and end up just reading the whole thing again.

Yeah, Nickelodeon is one of a kind manga that is bizarre and fun to read. I also did a re-read of it every couple of month. I suffer through Kouji Seo manga to put it in a banner. It was worth it!

i think i just have to accept that i don't like prison school. i keep seeing one-off pictures that look cool and I love the artstyle and like i think there's a character i'll like who'll show up later but i don't find it very funny, or compelling, or even hot for that matter. Just kinda skeezy gross, even if it's part of the joke, it's just not entertaining. This is like the third time i've tried to power through to enjoy it and it's just not catching.

Sorry Prison School. I tried.

Yeah, I actually finished it around Friday night, then went through it all over again yesterday. I kind of adore it.

And now I know where your avatar's from, striferser.

I'd suggest y'all read Dowman Sayman's Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb War books, which are also collections of short stories, but with some more risqué content~

Well, you tried at least. Do read Me and the Devil Blues like Uso suggested if you haven't done so yet.

That's what I've been thinking for a while now, either that or
anyone blood related to her
, which, if correct, would mean that there's some seriously messed up plan behind all that has happened in the last chapters, and that the sports festival is not really the end game for the councils clash.

Noramimi by Hara Kazuo


Ah, mascot characters, a staple of everyone's childhood. One has oftentimes imagined how life would be were they to be real. Well, what if the world was like that? A world where mascots exist for the sake of the happiness of children everywhere? How would this utopia be like? How would the mascots integrate within the human society?

Noramimi is one of such mascots, but he has a problem: it's been years since he got to live together with a child.

Noramimi is a wonderfully simple yet surprisingly thought-provoking manga about mascots and their quirks, their worries, their life, and their relationship with children, with humans. Through the eyes of the eponymous Noramimi and his entourage, we get to experience their world and the wonders of mascots. Its simple yet refined art works wonderfully well at designing recognizable mascots and bringing out the characters' emotions.

Wonderfully combining both fantasy and reality into a cluster of episodic tales, Noramimi is nothing less than a love letter to the mascots of our childhood.
