So i installed Mavericks on my mac and opened for the first time iBooks, searching some free book just to see how the app is and in the first few rows this appeared.

Can't fap to this
 
Sket Dance 257

I suddenly can see where this series will end and I'm half dreading it as I never want this to end and half looking forward to it cause it would be sooooooo good.

Also, HOT BLOODED GUY WHO LIKES PLANES. AWESOME.

Wow, Kodansha jumping on the same-day manga releases now. And the site they're partnering with to do so is... Crunchyroll. Interesting!

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/10/26/crunchyroll-to-digitally-distribute-kodansha-manga
Starting Wednesday, October 30, Crunchyroll will begin digital distribution of twelve (12) Kodansha manga titles, including Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, and Space Brothers, offering content to 170 counties, including the USA and UK, on the same day as release in Japan.

All simulpub chapters will be available to both free and paid users. Free users will only be able to read the latest chapters with ads until the next chapter is simulpubbed. Paid users will have access to all manga including catalog titles.

Folks will be able to legally read the latest manga on Crunchyroll on their desktop/laptop computers, as well as iOS and Android devices.
Here's which titles will be available at the launch of the service:

Didn't expect that. Get more content for my paid subscription why not? Kind of cool and hopefully makes viz step up their game.
 
I thought, at least the english side, they always seemed to give positive comments and seemed interested in Yamada...so maybe that one, and of course seven deadly sins is already picked up for print release starting in the spring and Uq holder the summer.

Oh yessssssssss, this is getting translated.

I like this. The art is pretty amazing to look at and makes the whole dancing even better. Also so fabulous.

I like the idea of the plot as well. It's definitely your average teenager needs to discover what to do with his life but I am liking what I'm seeing so far of the main character. I like the supporting cast we seen as well.

Already looking forward to seeing the rest of chapter one.

More details on Crunchyroll Manga, from the Nikkei article, via ANN:
Japanese financial news source Nikkei reports that subscribers can pay US$4.99 a month for full access to 12 titles on October 30, with the catalog expanding to over 50 titles by next summer. According to Nikkei, the manga will be available in 170 countries — including the United States and the United Kingdom, but excluding Japan, China, France, Germany, and Italy.

Zetsuen no Tempest 28

At the very least, reading the new chapters is just helping me reinforce whatever the plot was from the anime. It's still pretty interesting though with the two factions or whatever now.

Yeah, that makes it sound like this'll be a different tier from the current anime/drama memberships. Though they might add some new combo tiers for anime+manga too, similar to the current all-access membership... we'll have to see.

I'm thinking a 9.99 Anime+Manga monthly makes plenty of sense. They could also make it part of the 11.99 All Access pass.

IF it's a high quality translation, and IF it also is full backlog of chapters, it's still a good deal.

That's pretty much a list of the Top 5 manga markets. France, Germany and Italy probably already have licensing agreements that prevent it.
Oh no doubt but it's still quite shitty, I seriously doubt we'll get an equivalent digital services like this nor will the majority of those titles ever get a physical release over here.
 
God the wait for Yamada-kun kills me, even read ahead 3 untranslated chapters.
I just want it to end already so I don't have to suffer the wait every week anymore.

This manga is the worst thing I have seen of any medium for cliffhangers(not really a bad thing),
every single week it ends on a big one that gets me hook, line and sinker.
Its almost like Lost.

Just be glad you're not following Dorohedoro like I am. Monthly waits are murderous.

My body wasn't ready for this... neither were my mind a-a-a-and soul- FUCK IT, NONE OF IT WAS!!!

This is the raunchiest thing I've ever laid my eyes on. All I expected was a somewhat dirty comedy, I never expected to find something that would run so gleefully from one explicit joke to the next, and at the same time make all my previously read erotic fiction, ecchi or hentai, seem so reserved by comparison. From the first chapters, it's like the mangaka was a marathon runner dashing to cross the borders between good and bad taste and just keep going, and going and going, until the toilet humor generator he calls a brain runs out of juice

This unseizing barrage of soaked tits, ass and camel toe can not be merely called fanservice anymore. We already know there's stuff out there that's so violent that we have to call it "ultraviolence". This is ULTRA-fucking-SERVICE if I've ever seen such a thing!

And it has resulted in some of the most enjoyable reading I've done. That porny humor is in a category of its own, I don't think I've seen anything quite like it (or at least executed this well), and the less titillating parts of the comedy feel weirdly nostalgic in a way.

TSF Monogatari Append 1.0

Didn't expect to sse this translated so soon and, as one would expect from ShindoL, it delivers on all levels.
Based ShindoL /bow
There's even an illustration made by Syu Murasaki. It's like I'm in heaven.

Probably one of my favorite series. Really well done. Happy that you brought it to my attention that the translation was already done.

So...any chance HxH or Berserk will return before the end of the year? If the other HxH hiatuses were this long, I can understand the frustration with the series. This is fucking ridiculous already. PEACE.
