Nawa ga Nakutemo Daijoubu 1
One of the oddest pillows Ive seen. This chapter had a good start to the story, assuming its not just a one chapter one shot thing at least with the two characters. Izuko seemed to have a distressing and kind of depressing life with his family situation and family that at least gives him awkward situations with Sasaki showing no restraint and invading personal space in rather hilarious and intense ways, that he made a memorable impression on me right from the start. Liked how he was and how kind and sweet he was by the end of the chapter. Most memorable scene

The mom walking in on them as Izuko was licking Sasaki on the couch, and then them panicking and Sasaki having to defend Izuko as she was all harsh and what not

Not only is this shit boring as hell, none of these characters are likable. I hope Hana and Arashi never find each other. The winter team better be fuckawesome.
I honestly can't see myself liking this without it getting a full reboot.

Ditto, haven't read a lot of sports manga so it'll be a nice change of pace

This was basically two parts and both were awesome.
Josuke figuring out the leaves and owning everybody was great but the link to Steel Ball Run with the corpse and Johnny's death really has me intrigued. Shaping up to be another masterpiece.

@kurita: keep this avatar, better than the previous one
But childhood friend not knowing who Sena is cause he put the helmet on is very stupid.

She's in denial. Part of her character is that she underestimates Sena and sees him as a baby. Development happens when she comes to terms with his newfound self confidence. It's not handled with the subtlest hand, sure, but it's no Superman/Clark.

and moving like he's never moved before. It's a shonen, c'mon.
Eyeshield 21
Eh, I guess I will see. I just don't see how this thing can be stretched out for 9+ volumes realistically especially since she is the manager now.
He is just running, it's not like he took of his glasses and no one can recognize him now.

Keima should thank Yui later since he seems so comfortable with crossdressing as a girl.

Yes.
You KNOW that's not true. I mean, Eyesield 21 is awesome, definitely, but Slam Dunk will always be the best. No contest.
ALWAYS
Slam Dunk exist doe...

Well football is a more entertaining sport then basketball
The updates are so slow, no one remembers it exists.
The Book of Human Insects
Good Tezuka. There are some problematic issues here that always plagued his manga, but I do have to give this story some points since for once it had a female lead character and she is not just there to be the main hero's love at first sight or tragically die. Also there was a lot of sex as expected from a Tezuka manga. I do like how the main character, Tomura Toshiko, is a twisted evil person and there really isn't any sort of redemption or payback. Sure at the end it was obvious that even after she accomplished all her fame and got rid of everyone who opposed she is still lonely. But seeing how she basically killed around 5 people in the manga, that seems like a small price to pay. In a way, it reminded me a lot of Helter Skelter, both main characters had complete disregard about others and only cared about achieving their goals at the cost of human lives.
Oh and there was some :sdburton. I just thought I'd bring it up.

But I just...mentioned it...
And that has nothing to do with the quality of the actual work!
Also: Remember when someone used to say "good sports manga" and you'd rush ro recommend Hajime no Ippo? Good times....

Shokugeki no Soma 23
So glad Soma is such a strong character as all those panels with Tadokoro were really awful and kind of bad. It almost lasted way too long and felt dull, but his signature pose and stances and that great serious face panel of his were the best parts. Shinomiya too. I hope she at least does something more creative than Onigiri...though I really dont know anything that could be prepared to do well against some fancy French dish.

Attack on Titan is clearly the best sports manga no other series captures the feeling of MMA as well
Can something with 1000 chapters really be good? The answer is no.
It's not the length that's the problem, it's the pacing.
I'm aware of that but that doesn't mean anything.

Kurita pls.

Eyeshield is fun but it's not as good as rookies I reckon.
It kinda is?
Slam Dunk done anything that ES doing good before.
Also Slam Dunk have detail that so fantastic, its really a "sport" comic. Not battle manga in disguise, that not a knock to ES.. Its fantastic for its own.
This also correct.
And Kurita, its have good drama adaptation.

They also have a drama too if you're interested.
I have the DVD collection somewhere but never got around to watching it.

Onani Master Kurosawa - 08-10
...who was the dude who said Kurasawa had no redeeming factors? I thought these past three chapters were pretty good at showing some humanizing traits in him.

Bwahahahaha; how long until she goes full yandere on her brother?

It's like saying Dragon Ball is automatically better than, say, One Piece or Hunter x Hunter just because it was published before. Really, I don't get this line of thought.
Oh ok. I'll look into it a bit more.
