Shit just got super real!!!! They have to use sneaky tactics and strategy to beat this. Noway a frontal assault can win this.

Man this manga gets me in the mood for playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms games (aka Chinese History Simulation Strategy Role Playing Game). SO GOOD.

Only reason I'm reading this is cause I love Toradora and Golden Time. This...not so much. The main character kind of sucks. The main girl is ok. The supporting characters do stuff that make no sense. The art is average. There's not a lot of pull to the story - it's just kind of going.

This series is pretty weak for Itō so far. I hope it improves.

I'm baaaaaack.

I know I'm LTTP but I got this for you guys:

Naruto F

Really this was just trash. Same stuff we've been seeing for the last few chapters with no real progression going on. I'm glad Obito is finally defeated in the very least, and after that I'm not seeing Madara as too much of a threat unless Kishimoto creates some type of hax shit that it turns out Madara absorbed the powers of the Jinruuki and them capturing them back was all an illusion.

Bleach B

Surprisingly a solid chapter this week. Actual progression happened and gets a new focus on a character we haven't seen much. I just hope Kubo don't fuck this up like he did to Unohana.

One Piece B

Another solid chapter. Backstory is a lot more interesting than I expected it to be, with some very dark visuals layered everywhere. Hopefully the finish, including Law's story, will deliver.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.

One Piece speculation: Is it possible Bepo was turned into a toy/stuffed bear and Law is trying to turn him back?
Click to expand...

Toys seem to typically be a lot smaller than their original forms, as in 'toy sized'. Also Bepo being a bear is what makes him awesome.

WARNING: There may be spoilers in some of these recs (rec), reviews (rev), impressions (imp).

  1. It's an average battle shounen but basically uses animal knowledge so that's pretty interesting at least. For Oumagadoki Zoo. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  2. The volume finally explains why he was so interested in getting and dismantling the dolls and after the information is revealed, it spells shit for Shu and Alice's future. For Alice in Hell Vol 3. From Lain. (?)
  3. A rather lewd Yuri tale involving a young girl looking for her older sister. For Raubritter. From wonzo. (rec)
  4. Well the arc has probably been best for the Chiba Erika fans as well as Mikihiko, who probably is the most underrated character in the franchise after Leo. For Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Vol 10. From Dedication Through Light. (light novel rec?)
  5. After the bad main character, everything else was good. For Kokushi Musou 01. From Gintoki313. (imp)
  6. I'll say once again, the only Amano worth something to me. For Amanchu! Vol 3. From Lain. (???)

  8. Now THIS is a good manga about the harshness of the food/kitchen industry. For Bambino. From Laughing Banana. (rec)
  9. The story is basically about a super scary haunted mansion which willing contestants attempt to live in for 15 days, with $1 million prize money at stake. For American Ghost Jack. From A Huge Battleship. (imp)
  10. It's a fairly interesting series so far. The focus on hacking and the threat of the virus are some unique aspects. For Bloody Monday. From astrogamer. (imp)
  11. Cause, well, the guy is a girl but the brother and the Prince like him as a dude but now he or she is a girl now and For Sekainohate de Aimashou. From HassanJamal. (imp)
  12. Akito lists his recommended oneshots.
  13. AlabastreAizo lists his recommended oneshots.
  14. It's been quite some time I've read a manga that exudes such charm as this one. Hopefully it'll keep it up for the 20+ chapters currently out there. For Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. From wonzo.
  15. This volume really tied up some loose ends from the Gold/Silver stuff and does act like a nice finisher for these characters. For Pokemon Adventures Heart Gold/Soul Silver Vol 2. From dakkumauji. (imp)
  16. Off to a nice start, the art is still quite rough but the humor is reminding me a lot of Tenshi na Konamaiki already, which is a huge plus obviously. For Kyou Kara Ore Wa Vol 1. From Akito. (imp)
  17. Do you like violent backstabbings and coups? For Shounen Oujo. From Antiwhippy. (rec)
  18. About a boy with a relationship with a deaf girl. For Koe no Katachi. From Laughing Banana. (imp)
  19. Any series that delivers its prologue via a skeletal music group deserves attention. For Nero's Laboratory. From A Huge Battleship. (imp)

  21. A gardener falls in love with the mascot girl but he's too shy to do anything about it. For Itoshi no Karin 01. From dakkumauji. (imp)

  24. Never read the original, but I liked this a lot. For Young Black Jack Vol 1. From Lain. (imp)
  25. A fan of a bishoujo game makes a wish to the gods to turn his life into said game. For Ore Nante Galge?. From dakkumauji. (rec?)
  26. 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. For Kangoku Gakuen. From Nordicus. (rev)
  27. Already looking forward to seeing the rest of chapter one. For Ballroom e Youkoso 0.1 (?). From dakkumauji. (imp)

  32. This wasn't one of my favourite mangas by any stretch of the imagination, but it was generally a good laugh and will be missed. For Fujimura-kun Mates. From A Huge Battleship.

There was one arc that was really good and then it was just kind of eh.

Though I will forever give props to this manga for having a scene where the main dude breaks his own back to avoid an attack. That shit is beyond badass!

That's kind of the rub (pun intended). The author has some great ideas, some decent fights/concepts for it but the manga is basically ass'n'titties. I mean some isn't bad but it's kind of taking away from what could be a great series.

I think for DTL recs, you just gotta say who's doing who and that'll literally work.

The knight is a great guy but as we already know his fate its a bit unfortunate. He could have been a really great guy to keep around with Kirito as more floor bosses were cleared.

Managed to read it before the next chapter was out but it was worthwhile. Highly hilarious storytelling, excellent colours, and the gamer ability/comparing everything to it reminds me of dreams long ago and what not. Continuing to see this idea explored in such a story is rather pleasing.


Leveling up for his close friend alone is commendable and touching.

Well, Doujin Work hasn't been updated for ages, but this'll work as an adequate substitute for now. As expected in a Hiroyuki series, every character is either a sad loser or a perv (or both)... and I like it that way.

Nearly to one hundred, cant believe its been that many weeks since starting and we are still not at the final level.

A bit shocked Beel v Mephisto going to happen quite soon, thought they would have pushed it off for taking place at least at the next azrael base or other entity.

The Cherry Blossom story has all the best parts of a tale of college friends/classmates but that touch of the supernatural story creeping in the background (the monster scene was truly frightening, thankfully just a dream even, but still, poor Koma), made it a page turner. I wish the next part was done as I cant tell if he truly is still in a dream or not, and I must know if those rumours about Koma are true are not, even if they are pretty rude things for his classmates to say and spread.

Dude almost fucked it up, so he should realize that go see Nakamura is an awful mistake but is even worst and beyond retarded go with your actual GF.

So he will totally go with her.

I like how Nakamura is making people crazy by proxy years after the fact.

I think it would be utterly brilliant and hilarious if he goes to meet Nakamura and she's hopped up on psych-meds, in therapy and really regretful of her past actions. It would make him even fucking crazier, you just know it.
