What the hell why are all the high school girls attracted to him ? Does he have some kind of powerful pheromone thing going on ?

Nisekoi 202 Spoilers + Raws
Seems like Haru is now going to get the full friend-zone (if it wasn't already)... what is funny is that she runs away since she can't handle Onodera and Raku getting all close together and ignoring her... She doesn't need to worry though since her Big sis will soon be friendzone too

Please write a 2nd year Haikyuu!! plot. I need my stronger Shiratorizawa with Goshiki Tsutomu. He has to do it, no way to give him all this time and focus to not do it.

I love this manga so much! I think they will either go really far in the tournament and the manga ends on that note like Slam dunk and kuro no basket or it will go for all 3 years.

Man that's pretty sad to see Shokugeki no Soma dropping in ranks, then again it makes sense considering ever since Azami was introduced the series started dropping in quality.
Good thing the Vol sales are really good.

Birdmen #1-21: After I wrapped up my reread of Kekkaishi (still great), I got to wondering what else Tanabe Yellow's been up to and stumbled across this. Fantastic stuff. Starts pretty simply: 4 middle school students (2 pairs of friends) end up skipping class, and their bus crashes. They're saved by the mysterious Birdman, a popular urban legend, and in the process gain strange and fantastical powers, turning into Birdmen (tiiiiiitle droooooop) themselves. The Birdman himself turns out to be another classmate of theirs, and they struggle to understand their new powers together as they fight weekly monster attacks, like Power Rangers (they even give out color coded nicknames).
From there, things get interesting. There's strong psychological and transhumanist themes throughout, though the latter is only really just developing around the periphery and only just came into the foreground. I'd say that major distinguishing features include an extremely interesting subversion of the monster of the week trope (namely, that
) and third person non-omniscient perspective following a main character with an INCREDIBLE tendency to overthink things, leading to panels like this:
Not lewd, tho.

No, but it shows trends. And I'm hoping the creators and editor take a step back and focus on what made the series great. The character interactions are lacking and the power levels introduced aren't portrayed in a compelling light.
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It doesn't show anything. It is meaningless. It's not even necessarily accurate: it's literally just a list of the order in which chapters appear.

Gintama 570-571
such a serious thing became a comedy act lol.... poor Star sword king
still he fought Gintoki's anger or something... eye is so powerful that it is useless against someone who is fish eyed like Gintoki
The poor guy... at least the next chapter takes things more seriously. The dude becomes a more serious foe with a focus on Gintoki and not Gintoki's emotions. Sadly this collapses again as this dude still can't read Gintoki's mind. (He also can't read Shoyo's mind which is more dark)
But leave it to the author to make a scene were the enemy talks about reading people's emotions before they die (usually blankness to except death) for Gintoki not to give a fuck about such things and have a serious page were it just has Gintoki's thought only being about breakfast.
Still (as stated by the dude) that just means Gintoki doesn't care about death as much as he cared about what to eat due to experience.

Hes building up some of the teams so much that I cant see it ending without doing a year 2, like why call Johzenji back in this chapter for example.
Slam dunk ending was disappointing but everyone had no room for growth so I guess there was no way to continue it.

Is it out in english, or are you just being an ass and not spoilering it for some reason?
I think you are right, the mangaka keeps alluding to the 1st/2nd years becoming key players

A Girl on the Shore
This was my second time reading it, and I feel like I got so much more out of reading it this time, especially in print. Koume and Isobe's character arcs and slow transformation really stood out to me, I hope that plenty of people will buy this to give it the support it deserves. It's not on the same level as Punpun but is a damn fine story that everyone looking for a "mature" sort of read short be looking into

Somali to Mori no Kami-sama 1-2
The story about Somali and a golem who travel together to find human.
That was beautiful. Author is really creative with the creature design. I can't say much about the story, but the art is neat.

I know it's a Light Novel and not a manga but I have come her to save some of you.
Don't read this. It has a 9.2 on MAL. That number is based on deceit, trickery, and really shit taste. This book is an insult to all other books. Read book 1 and stop there. Maybe Book 2.
Books 3, 4, and 5 are unbearably bad. 5 being slightly less worse than 3 and 4.

Oh, it's Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (HakoMari). I suppose that's an important detail.
It has a fairly unending number of recommendations, so it might just not be for me. At times, it's brilliant, but it typically throws that away by having the character handle situations in the most illogical ways and then react in the most extreme possible manner to anything that happens. The characters are... characters. They aren't remotely approachable as humans because they are so edgy.

If anything, that was pretty clarifying on a few points. Plus, the eventual end of this flashback is going to answer some BIG questions by the nature of it.
