Wait, so is Shokugeki no Soma finally getting good again?

Not really

Hard to say, looks like the author is trying to speed this arc to a conclusion with what happened this week.

There's a non-zero chance we'll get a proper relationship before the series-end in My Hero Academia, so there's that at least. Assuming it actually happens.

I thought Suzuna/Sena was nice in Eyeshield 21, but that was the most subtle relationship ever

Oh I assume we'll get Deku x
Bakugo :p
Ochako before it ends. The only thing thats going to delay it is evil girl impersonating him and probably hurting their relationship short term.
 
Screw Sena, everyone knows the realest couple in Eyeshield is Hiruma and Mamori. That shit had so much build up and progression and an actual pay off - though nothing "official".
I appreciate that the Dragonball Z Wiki uses the dub names like "Krillin" instead of misguidedly over-romanizing names
I'll take over romanized stuff over garbage like "Tien" and "Hercule" any day

Kuririn and 18 is the best romance because it gives you the hope that even the lamest of nerds can hook up with the hottest android chick on the planet.
ftfy

You left out the most important part!

Yeah Sena is reserved for Suzuna so we all can have the most legit pairings ever.

Hiruma and Mamori were great too.

Eyeshield 21 was just great as a whole, man, what an amazing series

Oh I assume we'll get Deku x
Bakugo :p
Ochako before it ends. The only thing thats going to delay it is evil girl impersonating him and probably hurting their relationship short term.
Honestly I'm not too worried about that, since she can't transform more than once with that little drop of blood, right? Otherwise she'd be too overpowered. Is the Villain Alliance going to waste that chance on Deku and Ochako, or use it to try and kill All Might?

Honestly the only reason I'm not certain it'll happen soon is because how often we get burned by shounen romance. If there's any Jump series I trust to do romance right, it's My Hero Academia.

bakugou x kirishima is the actual otp by the way

Sounds like the German dub is the best of both worlds.
We have Krillin, Tenshinhan, Mr. Satan, Muten Roshi,....

The Latin dub also has most of the original names in place, except Muten Roshi is called Maestro Roshi. We even had some names that only made sense in Japanese, such as freaking Uranai Baba.

The weird part of the latin dub is saiyans are called saiya-jins (looks like they forgot <place>-jin is a just means "person from <place>"), and they localized ChiChi as Milk to prevent her name from meaning "boobies" in some Central American countries.

It's funny to think that Mr. Satan's name probably got changed to make sure prople chanting his name wouln't be saying "Satan! Satan!" all the time.

Shokugeki no Soma, fairy tail, 7 deadly witches, and attack on titan are some of the notable manga I dropped this year. just couldn't read through chapters anymore.

Yeah but the Saiyans aren't from a place called Saiya, saiyajin is a pun name, same as namekuseijin.

Our dub was the same, only difference is Kuririn being romanized and Roshi being called "Master Kame"

You picked the wrong time to drop AoT since they got to the basement and shit has been worth the wait

Oh right, the german dub also calls them Saiyajins and has Uranai Baba, interestingly enough. But ChiChi is ChiChi.

As someone who read the last ~20-25 chapters in one go after they reached the basement, I can say that there isn't really a drop in quality when bulk-reading it.
But then you stop and realize that you just read through 2 years worth of content and compared to that not all that much happened and then it's easy to see why reading it monthly would be frustrating.

This also makes me lament how useless most of the original DB's cast ended up becoming over time, with only Yajirobe (like, WTF, Yajirobe) actually doing anything useful in Z and onwards. Like, Puar and Oolong had really useful abilities that haven't been used in forever, and Uranai Baba could actually do a thing or two herself as well.

Then there were a couple characters I never cared about, such as Lunch, Chichi's dad, Master Karin or Bulma's father (who had a cool pet cat, but that's all I can remember about him).

changing Saiyajin to Saiyan isn't a problem because while yeah saiyajin is a pun, nobody is going to get that pun unless they already speak Japanese

e: although nobody was saying it was a problem, I guess

The anime had a really good opening song.

that's all I really know about AoT beyond stuff I know from osmosis

I hope with the way things are going that it's all buildup for the endgame.

If anything, this date went pretty well.

Italian names for the DB anime were fun
Kuririn = Crili
Tienshinhan =Tensing
Chaozu = Rif
Oolong = Oscar
Yamcha = Yamco
Muten Roshi = Genio delle Tartaruge (Turtle's Genius)
Raditz = Radish
Piccolo = Junior but pronounced "Hee-unior" (that's because Piccolo is the Italian word his name come from and it sounded weird as hell to call the main antagonist "Little")
Piccolo Daimao = Al Satan (funnily enough they kept Mr. Satan later)
Frieza = Freezer
 
That top 3 in the ranking is the best, the 3 best thing in jump get the 3 first place, the wold is right.

I kind of hope Viz's will pick up Kimetsu no Yaiba, with it ranking so high I'm kind of really curious.

I can't believe a manga with a premise like this can be boring as fuck. Author going full porn will turn this into a better manga, because as of now, the plot and the main character is boring.

Kakushigoto vol.5 10-13

The things about this manga is that it's really hard to comment on the whole chapter other than that it's punny and funny as hell.
 
Kinda getting tired of the type of people interested in the media and hobbies I enjoy being misanthropic fuckstains.

No, your credit page comparing black people to apes isn't funny despite all the thumbs ups you're getting.

Deku and Uraraka is the best and they haven't even gotten together yet. The set-up is good, Horikoshi staying ahead of the game as usual.

Ole Golazo 1

I liked this. MC design is medicore, but main girl's design is cool. I'm hankering for another Jump sports series to complement Haikyu, so hopefully this gets good. I still want my Jump hockey manga tho
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Yamada and the Seven Witches

Isn't he lying to her? Yamada decided to go to Tono because he's an idiot who just says stupid shit, although I assume the reason Yamada is trying to get into the hard university is because he knows that Shiraishi will just go wherever he does and he wants to send her to the best one if he can.

Deku/Ochako better happen, otherwise I'll be upset

It will, but they're setting up all the necessary roadblocks for it to never pay off until we're all grizzled old men.
 
Division Girl - First Part
More creative genius from the eyeball-licking yuri anthology, this time featuring a socially stunted girl who involuntarily clones herself every so often. And then has to kill the clone, which she's permitted to do by law. Naturally, she has a waifu, who I suspect we'll learn more about in the latter part. Waiting for the continuation with baited breath.
 
Before everyone laughs or ignores this

Has a shonen jump fight series ever actually had a homosexual lead couple? Or a homosexual canon love interest among the supporting cast?

Didn't Ryu and Lysandre from shaman king had an homosexual love interest? I don't remember if it was both sides, but Ryu did love Lysandre a lot. At the very least I know they did not end up developing it more then that.

Yea that's the only thing that comes to mind and it's not a very good example.
