please don't remind me yankee-kun and megane chan exists

I really liked that series up until the final story arc, which is kinda true for Yamada as well. The mangaka at least learned a bit from that and hopefully her next manga continues that trend.
 
Holy shit spring weapon no 01 is still going. What's that all about lol?

Spring Weapon is a bit of a mystery what's quite going on with it. Sales wise it was a bomb, first volume didn't sell enough to track for top 50 for its release week. Ranking wise it might have life, since getting a random color page (which is rare for a series that's doing bad which it was prior) it has placed oldest to newest 12th/15, 8th/14, 13th/15, 4th/14 and 8th/13. Could I see it being axed next week? Yes, but I could see WSJ just as well letting it survive until the next axing round; especially if World Trigger doesn't come back soon.

i agree largely but the complete non-ending really really miffed me.
 
Biohazard: Heavenly Island 1-19

Yes, it is in fact that Biohazard. The Capcom one. Resident Evil.

So this takes place after 6 and Rev2 (I think) and before 7, and there's a Survivor (the tv show not the crap game) kind of series where a bunch of supermodels and idols are gonna compete on a tropical island. And then there are BOW and they turn into zombies and now its Dead Island Riptide. So it mainly follows a cameraman and an idol he was following around when the virus broke out.

And since I don't want to be doubted -


This sounds dumb but if you think about what the name "Resident Evil" has been attached on for two decades, it barely registers a medium on the Resident Evil is Really Stupid Scale. Really it just has more titties in it in this series where no one fucks.

Also Vasquez from Aliens is in it.

Ok, so the Harukana suffering needs to stop. Fortunately that'll likely come to pass within the next few chapters. And then she'll get to spend the rest of the series as an honorary resident of the MC's friend zone, because sdjfkhkrlgsf manga.

What goes up etc. I wouldn't have thought that'd be a particularly hard attack to dodge (especially for CEC users), though it might be the first time she's actually used the 'fang' for direct offence, so I guess there's the surprise factor.

Angel of Slaughter 1

A young girl with partial amnesia and a sewing fetish awakens in the basement of an abandoned building, and then gets chased around by a scythe-wielding mummy impersonator. It's based on an RPG Maker horror game that I would salivate over if it ever got a full English translation, despite not being too impressed with Forest of Drizzling Rain by the same creator. I may not actually read this for the sake of not spoiling the game, plus I doubt the story'll be as effective in this format. Nevertheless, it exists, so here it is.
Always wondered what it'd take to make me sign up to Steam after 10 years, now I know.

Hi Score Girl 39

The gall of the magazine not to censor those last two pages.

Good on Moemi finally realizing what a miserable failure she's been.

EAT SHIT JUN!

I swear, if I have to suffer another panel of Jun looking depressed because he loves his cute childhood friend, who also is totally into him, I'll punch something.
Or I'll just drop the 4-koma. Which is a shame, since I enjoy the girl-trio interactions, but every scene with Jun is just absolutely maddening by now.

Mmh, this started real good but then lost his kick pretty quickly for me. Still, the art is sweet and some side characters are interesting and have a lot of room for further development. Also, I can't wait for the author to introduce his ex-wife.

Same author who did Flowers of Evil. I was feeling uneasy through the whole chapter. However, not much happened, but I expect a whole bunch of issues coming from the mother.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I remember I had a farming team in EO3.

Just 4 of these little shits and an escort.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island 23-24

Ok we fighting BOW's with propellers on their hands like we're boxers now. Sure.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island 25

In the Resident Evil Universe, the most deadly occupation is probably helicopter pilot.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island 28

1. Secret underground lab connected to Umbrella
2. Hot lady who is a double agent for another pharmaceutical company

Yep its resident evil

Biohazard: Heavenly Island 30

Oh my God this Hunter looks so out of place. It feels like the artist just looked at a hunter in game and drew it exactly like that


Biohazard: Heavenly Island 31

Vasquez died so this manga is actually bad
 
To be honest I find that it's been set up quite well when you look back through the past 100+ chapters, we just were never looking for it.

Flipping back to the specific chapter the scene was reference, I could definitely see the subtext now. Especially interesting since Mutsuki's arc has been running parallel with everything Kaneki went through in the first series.

Though unlike Kaneki, I think Mutsuki is too far gone.
 
Biohazard: Heavenly Island 39

Wow they are actually using shit from that crap Umbrella Corps game.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island 43


Soon the line between BOW and "Demon from Shin Megami Tensei" will be indistinguishable.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island 50 END

wow this had literally nothing to do with re7

Our Journey to Lesbian Motherhood ch0 by Higashi Koyuki, Masuhara Hiroko, and Sugiyama Emiko

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koyuki_Higashi


Oh yeah, this has real potential. Quick reminder that same-sex marriage still isn't legal in Japan (and most Asian nations), so child conception is an even tougher topic to bring up. If the authors' names are familiar to you, it should come as no surprise that this manga is an autobiographical depiction of her daily life and the hardships she encounters.


The cutesy and cartoony art is reminiscent of other autobiograpical LGBT works such as Honey & Honey and Plica, and anyways will neither bother those interested by this topic, nor will attract those who aren't, which is fine.

Can't wait for the rest to get translated.

Chi no Wadachi 1 (from Shuzo Oshimi of Flowers of Evi, Happiness, Inside Mari)

Well, this is going to get dark and sexual fast per usual.

And new Inio Asano series starting in a couple weeks yay!

Bummer.

Wanted to gift it to the family.

I'm going to speculate that there's a good chance the first volume will be released Decemberish if they decide to license. They usually (at least for mainstream Shonen Jump stuff) want about 6-8 volumes in hand (it was this way for Food Wars, Black Clover, Bakuman, and a few other series iirc).

Give how popular it is (and the fact it will likely get an anime if it keeps going strong as a Jump property) I'd imagine it'll get a print license in good time.

Oh definitely, but then again remember how Mutsuki has been treated, even as a child.
I mean we're pretty sure it involves sexual abuse/rape.
So it's no wonder the whole emotion spectrum is F**ked. What's happening now is a great representation of how I'd imagine Mutsuki would react, as to Mutsuki, sex (or an act simulating that) is how they expect love to be shown/received.
