So far the only translation is in Korean.



It's well received from those that read or watch it. At least the people I know enjoy it. Personally I think the Titans look like Naked Politicians which ruined it for me.
Aw man, I'm dissapointed :(
There are so many good doujinshi out there left untranslated
Just read REAL and Eyeshield 21.

Already read both. REAL is fantastic but the progress is really slow. I love Eyeshield 21, even though it have ridiculous side. Hiruma and his tactics really carry the manga for me.

I don't see how you guys can mention good sports manga without talking about Mitsuru Adachi. He's been churning them out before I was born.
I think many consider his manga to be more romance stories with a heavy emphasis on sports rather than classic sports titles and I can't really argue with that. Nevertheless he is one of my favorites and I'm not even alone here I think.

True. That man can get away with not bothering to draw significant games that would normally get several chapters' worth in other sports manga titles.

Shokugeki no Soma Chapters 28 - 35 Present!

Well I caught up to the series, and I'm glad I was recommended this manga. So much fun to read, art is great, and I enjoy the characters a lot. The most recent egg buffet challenge was interesting since this was the first time Soma was in a bad situation.

As for the Nakiri Cusins, Alice > Erina. Alice is more fun, while Erina is just arrogant. I don't know if I'll ever like Erina lol. She's just too rude for me.

I'm pretty pumped for next chapter now that Mito will be working with Soma.

Tosh's artistic skills really shines in this manga, way better than his lewd stuff. Tsukuda Yuuto got a great artist, which really compliments everything else in the manga.

Me and the Devil Blues v1-4


Ok, even though the later volumes are very different from what the first and my expectation were, this manga is still gripping as hell at any time and the art is pretty damn impressive. It's a crime against humanity that this got axed :(
On a related note, I can see that this is the same artist who is drawing Prison School but how in the fuck did he go from Me and the Devil Blues to Yarisugi Companion to Atashi Monogatari, they are not even in the same universe art and story-wise.
That's what I always complain about :(
It was his way of saying, "Oh, you don't like unique, thoughtful plots? I know what kind of plots will sell! I'll show you huge plots!!!"

Personally I can't really consider Adachi's manga works as being sport manga. Even if a sport is usual central in the story, it is treated in such a way that it ends being just a backdrop to give characters a reason to hang out together, to have rivalries or to show them as having a goal, while the real center stage is infallibly taken by the romance, relationships and comedy.

Friendship moment was so good for this chapter and these two. Sure the arrainged marriage is still there and kind of not resolved, but at least they still get to have some enjoyable time together just being friends and what not. Maybe the writer can return to it some day.

I need to come up with some kind of MangaGAF meta-game for whenever DTL posts a sub 5 chapter yaoi with an extremely obvious uke and seme

Isogai result and praise moment was great in this awful chapter. Karma is supposed to be top class, best of the best, and not really class E material, and was supposed to go head to head against Asano, how in the world did both underperform like that, it made no sense at all. Only thing that save the chapter for me was at least Karma kun having new memorable expressions. I wanted to crumple this chapter like he did that results sheet though.

Did I post my catch up impressions of Naruto already?

I think this arc has long outstayed its welcome. The worst part is that I can see it going on for longer than it should. Sage rasengan landing is only the beginning of the fight, not the end.

I remember when Rasengan was cool as shit.

Now that shit is so played out it's ridiculous.

Because he tried to get by purely on talent while everyone else worked their asses off to pass him.

This is a textbook example of something called "character development"

Forget Me Not (Ch. 1-7; End)
That was all right. The art was really nice! I'm sorta confused about what the author was trying to accomplish with that story. Lots of filler moments in such a short manga.

That can be saved for folks like Isogai or Terasaka (like we saw), but for Karma, he's supposed to be perfect and epic. His development would have been destroying Asano and regaining his position.

You realize you need to actually read the series to actually confirm if you are correct or wrong!

...no, you don't. He posts pictures which always has an aggressive guy hitting on a timid guy.

Until there's (assumed or actual) penetration, you can't assume anything!

Well, I wasn't referring to whether there was explicit sex between them. It still has an uke and a seme in very obvious roles.

By sheer definition, knowing if they top or bottom first pretty much makes them either an uke or a seme.

In other news, Yen Press Licenses Blood Lad Spin-Off Manga Bloody Brat

Yen Press has confirmed with ANN that it will release the manga series Bloody Brat (Buratto Buradora), a spin-off of Y&#363;ki Kodama's Blood Lad manga. The manga is slated to ship on March 25, 2014.

Kodama wrote the spin-off and Kanata Yoshino, who won the semi-grand prize at the Kadokawa Manga Rookie Awards in 2011, drew the art. The spin-off features short stories and four-panel manga. Yoshino also drew the BuraBuratto Buradora manga, and provided illustrations for a Blood Lad novel. Kadokawa Shoten published the Bloody Brat manga in September 2012, the BuraBuratto Buradora manga in Japan last month, and the Blood Lad novel in Japan in June.

Ughhhhh, why so long away. This isn't going to fill the Blood Lad hole in my heart since nothing's getting released for it till next February!

I like this. It's about a girl who goes back in time to stop her mother getting sick. The MC's her future father
no he isn't lol
and it's pretty clear that the pair want to create a paradox with each-other if you know what I mean.

The story's clumsily told, but it's interesting and has a charm about it that makes the flaws easy to forgive. I was initially slightly bummed at the recent 'escape' to the future because I thought it meant abandoning the old cast, but actually it looks like we'll be seeing the past characters in the future as well, so hurrah. Will definitely continue to follow.

The whole point of this arc was to show that hard work can overcome talent. That's the whole reason class A lost. Karma, who was sure he would get #1 because he is talented, lost so that he would learn that he needs to work hard like the rest of Class E if he wants to accomplish his goals.
 
Below is someone from another forums alternate storyline for the Naruto manga

I want to see a young three-man team of Darui, Deidara, and Tobi.

Darui (lazy all-around genin who cares about his teammates a lot, despite their crazy antics since he lost his parents the last war... and the only heirloom he has is his Storm Release jutsu... he's a jack of all trades that's why he didn't stand out in the Ninja Academy rankings, standing at #5... he always saves Deidara's and Tobi's butts when they're in trouble. He is a realist at heart.)

Deidara (the struggling artist genin who hates the world because not everyone appreciates art... all he cares about is art... and explosions... he is number 2 back in the Ninja academy, coz the number 1 is Uchiha Itachi... the genius of the class... he and Tobi has a love-hate relationship because Tobi unintentionally makes fun of Deidara's all the time but despite that, Tobi's almost the only one noticing Deidara's art)

Tobi (the carefree guy who fools around and loves annoying Deidara... a happy-go-lucky person that has a mysterious past... he was bullied when they were in the Ninja academy because he wears a mask all the time and he wouldn't show his face... he makes up comically gruesome stories about what really is behind his mask that makes even Deidara and Darui cringe)

Their sensei is Killer Bee... an aspiring rapper with insane Lightning CQC skills. In this universe, Bee has no Hachibi inside him here but has high chakra levels. He loves his team a lot.

Then the Kage of their village should be Raikagenaut which I will name G/Jii. Jii is known for his hotheadedness and love for battle. His bodyguard is the all-seeing Hiashi (the Third Shinobi War's greatest hero and candidate for Raikage) and Kinkaku, leader of Kumo's Black Ops (also candidate for Raikage). Jii has a granddaughter, a big-breasted version of Karui, Killer Bee's dreamgirl.

There is another young shinobi team of Ginkaku, Itachi and Temari. Ginkaku is Kinkaku's rotten son and Tobi's bully back in the Academy, and #4 in Academy rank. Temari has a crush on Darui. Itachi is Jii's adopted son and Karui is very protective of him. He ranks #1 in the academy and an achiever and an idealist. They are under Minato, Killer Bee's narcissistic rival.

Their ninja village is Kumo

From Suna, Sasori the puppeteer is the teenage Kazekage. His monster shinobi of a younger brother is Gaara, the sand manipulator. Sasori's greatest puppet is his father, the Kazekage before him that uses Iron Sand. Rumors say that Sasori killed him to use him as a puppet but pop belief says that the Iron Sand Kazekage was poisoned by infiltrators from another village. His advisor is his and Gaara's strong-willed mother, the previous Kazekage's paramour, "Death Mist" Mei Terumi

From the Kiri is the jovial but wily Troll-kage, which I will name Shingetsu. Despite his friendly demeanor, he is famed for his obsession for security. He has the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, best seven blade-wielders of his village, to guard him. The most famous is Kisame, the Demon Shark and his scrappy son, the most talented swords man in the Mist, Suigetsu. He absolutely hates Sasori.

From Iwa rules the ruthless and greedy Kakuzu, the Tsuchikage. Of all the Kages, he is the most business-minded and money-loving. He is very greedy but the true power in Iwa is really his grandfather, Hanzo the Salamander... who rules in Iwa's tributary village, Taki. Iwa is the only ninja village to have a tributary village. He has his comedic assistant Zetsu my his side all the time.

In Land of Fire's Konoha reigns the most feared of the Kages, the middle-aged Danzo. He is famous for starting the Third Shinobi World War by killing Raikagenaut's son and heir, Ay. It's also rumored that he manipulated Sasori into killing his own father. When Konoha lost the Third Shinobi War, he was forced to give away his youngest son Itachi, who was a baby that time, to Kumo as a replacement for Raikagenaut's son. He is escorted all the time by "Death Touch" Torune (girl-version, famed for his almost successful assassination of Trollkage) the only person Bee fears, the dark and mysterious Shisui the Blur, Danzo's oldest son.

There are demons and monsters here but not necessarily the 9 bijuu in naruto... and no jinchurikis per se... no So6P definitely.

What say you guys? Yay? Nay?

Me? Fuck yeah. Shit sounds boss as fuck. :D

Centaur's Worries 35-36
Still boring chapters with only fuwa-fuwa story inside. Well, chapter 35 not exactly a fuwa-fuwa chapter, and have some interesting part but the way the author handled it doesn't make it into an interesting chapter. I've enough with fuwa-fuwa chapter, just let me have some more interesting world-building!

I hear you. Although I fell out of interest with Naruto long ago, this war has been nothing but a big bore. The Madara/Obito/Jyuubi fight has just been lol.

Also it true Jump's on break this week for holiday? Always forget when it happens.
