I finally got this today. I just need a place to put it.

What's the black tip?
for a headphone jack on a phone
I thought it was a keychain. I have an Ishimaru keychain from DR with the reversible head. I want the Kyoko one but it's not available in the convention I attended in. I'll post pics later.

Man, I could never use that. I basically have a headphone on all the time.
I guess this is how phone straps evolve in the age of the smartphone?

I've read this before, and since we talk about how many manga end, probably due to cancellation or ending as planned, i want to post about one manga that end in a very irregular way.
Sakura Tetsu Chronicles end
This is probably the best 'Fuck you' to jump as far as cancelled manga goes. We see cancelled manga going with half assed ending, abrupt ending, or showing glimpse of what the true ending is. This one just goes full meta and decide to make the cancellation as the story arc. 'Reader' become a character in the manga, editor goes straight to war, genre shift happen.
This is why i love Ryu Fujisaki. He have this insane troll logic and just goes with it.
Trivia: all character name based from philosopher. Sakura Tetsu based from Socrates, Furato from Plato, and many many more.

Yeah, that headphone jack no one uses, but there is that universal lock thingy that you see on straps that you can use to place this on your phone or handheld gaming device.

It's more of a strap, which I like more since I can place them on more things instead of just the keychain loop.
I got those DR ones too. I bought the whole set. :3

Tokyo Ghoul Chapter 143 End
You know I've never felt too attached to a manga series till now. Like I cried really hard when I first read this chapter it was too much for me. Though say what you will but this series is amazing and GOAT for me even if it was left with a cliffhanger ending. And Kaneki is one of my all time favorite MC. He's one of the most enjoyable character I've read in a manga. Anyways I gotta say this is what I felt towards Ishida the author when I finished this chapter.
Also there's this colored page of Touka in the chapter which looks beautiful, but there's some hidden messages in the picture.

It has the number 19 written on the left side of her jacket. The number 19 is associated with the Sun Tarot card which is one of the luckiest cards and symbolizes a bright and optimistic future. Which could set for a sequel.
And then here comes this hint which is the biggest and the brightest one. If you look closely to the right corner where you see the cars hood. Next to it the words "See You Next" are written which seems weird. Like why would Ishida write those words and waste his time unless he's hinting for a sequel.
But yeah the more you look at this chapter closely the more you'll find subtle hints. Such a genius.

Wait Tokyo Ghoul just ended?! So then there is no reason that the anime shouldn't be able to adapt the entire series? Outside of the fact the anime completely botched the material from the first episode?

Well technically there may be a sequel since the ending left many things unresolved like a bunch. And there's an event coming in Oct for Tokyo Ghoul in which Young Jump said there's a surprise. Which I feel may be a sequel for the manga because announcing season 2 of the anime would be dumb since season 1 is already butchered. And I just can't see the author ending this series when each vol is selling like about 500K.

I'd be disappointed if a live action movie was announced.
chances are slim this even gets a live action
They'll stand amid the corpses of the fallen and look fondly to the future.

This reminds me of that one time that backstabber betrayed me at the base of Rage Mountain, when we agreed to read Rage Town together. There were a bunch of mountain related statements. I wish I could find that post..
sounds scary

Oshiete, Kurogane-kun 02
You made him popular, now you'll regrettttttt it.

I don't read itas of now, so I don't how's the narrative of Tokyo Ghoul leading up to its epilogue, but isn't it possible that the author just don't want dragged over his manga? Overdragging shits into plain of oblivion is one of the most fatal tendency done by japanese authors.
well from what i here there are more questions than answers
i stopped reading at about chapter 110 i think so he didn't drag it out instead he cut it short
That itself is a problem as well. I want to brought up FMA as an example of not overdragging shits, but FMA as very well paced, and in the end all of the important question already answered in satisfying way. If this is the case then I can't know for sure until I read it.
Master of Killing Time is much much better localized title.
go on
Sooo.. I am mostly done with scy's previous recommendation for romance mangas. I skipped the S&M one since I'm really not into that. Recently finished Uwagaki. Planning to read Wagatsuma-san but it's ending in two weeks so I'll wait for it to end to marathon till the end. Anymore recommendations for romance manga? I prefer completed or almost close to the end so I won't have to despair waiting for it to be completed.
