Is there any particular reason why you place Soma below Alice? Soma is a prodigy who constantly spars with his beast of a dad. The only way I see Alice being better is if she's older and has more experience.

Actually, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, Death Note, and Naruto have heavily female audiences in the west.
I'm talking about as of right now, or more in how the results are going to end up. Hayama seems like this preliminary antag so to speak, Soma's rival that he needs to beat. I feel like Alice is more of a next round rival so to focus on her and get a good rivalry she'd have to beat Soma in this round. Soma beats Hayama this round, Alice next round, and beats that one glasses elite ten guy (name escapes my mind) for that final round. And yes, I am using shonen battle logic right now. :lol

Wait really? Naruto has terrible female characters that I don't see girls relating to at all. How wo-
... Oh. Ooooooh.

FMA I get, the rest make no sense. Unless all the girls care about are....
....now I get it. Same reason Twilight is popular then.

7 Seeds - Summer Solstice*
Holy shit. That was absolutely gripping. I have never read anything that had me by the balls like this series. If you have yet to read 7 seeds, start.
I can't praise the writing in this enough, everyone feels so real. The author truly has a talent with character building.
* I've been reading by arcs, it's probably better than random chapter numbers.

Just took a long time rereading this series. It was fairly fun. It's kind of cute their relationship that at the point of which I stopped, is now officially dating. The art style does make the girl cute. I feel the nosebleed gimmick doesn't particularly add anything while the main protagonist being the opposite of a vampire is far more interesting as well as the vampire family whose tastes in blood differ. Most vampire media don't approach the specifics of the bloodsucking so this was particularly interesting. As for the romance, it was about average for a romcom.

For me the art of a comic/manga stops being a concern after a few chapters of reading. You just gets used to it, like when I was a kid and watching UK TV series felt so weird because of their accents.
I try to ignore it

It gets really bad. REALLY bad.
Probably one of worst mangas I've read to completion.
TBF it's mostly because I hated karin's personality, which is compounded by the final arc, so you might still like it, but goddamn I hate how they portrayed karin. So passive and weak.

I rather liked it myself. It's nice to see something of a flip for the normal vampire tropes. The love story was cute, and end story was fairly interesting. I haven't read all the novels yet though, not sure what they add.

It was mostly the final arc which left a pretty sour taste in my mouth. I wasn't a huge fan before the final arc but I thought it was mostly harmless and somewhat cute.

Seeing those X's come off so easily makes me think something's going to happen to put them right back on. It's funny, the manga has such an atmosphere that I immediately don't trust the new guy either.

Now I expected it to be hilarious, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how well this works on an action/shounen level. Also, Reigen is awesome.

Parts are funny, but the fact that half the jokes are about the guy being in danger of getting raped makes me feel like dropping it. Guess I'll read a couple more and see if it stays on the romantic hijinks.

HSD Kenichi
I've marathoned this over the past few days and I'm kind of wondering how it's gone for 555 chapters, everything about it seems kind of average. Fights are hard to follow and it seems to be selling itself on its constant fanservice, Kenichi's progression isn't really measured as it is with every other shounen, it's just on the constant backburner, when it is, it's undersold. Granted there are some interesting aspects to it (Furinji family history) but it's drip fed. For the most part, it seems like the author doesn't know what to do with the seires and aimlessly just throwing them into more battles.

Come one Sharkbait, you thought I was serious brah? She needs to provide emotional support to Togashi. He lives in shame of being a house husband.For a fan of JUMP I thought one would at least know the identify of the HxH manga artist...I guess not
in any event, so glad Kishimoto is also on Team Konohamaru! with me
Got my Kuroko fig in from Megahouse and my Gllasses brah and Aomine figuarts. The Generation of Miracles are really something.

Damn Ueno is super bad news. Like the art and the story's keeping me engaged so far. Lots of emotional tension.

It pretty much can be the next big manga to come stateside if Kodansha USA can get their head out of their ass. That male and female crossover potential. Woah woah wow.
