The arc was ok. I mostly liked that Raku and Chitoge moment at the end. Wasn't too bad of a chapter though.

Still looking for a chapter that's as good as Ruri and her grandpa.

generic tsundere is generic

that chapter is soo good but i cannot keep thinking why the fuck they forced Raku to be in that chapter when is infinitely more better of we just have Shu and Ruri only chapter.

screw this author. I dont really care how pandering other chapte. but why is it so hard to make one good chapter without Raku in it

I've made it to Japan. I'm not sure whether my erratic mental state is due to being awake for a very long time or due to the 5 volumes of Suzuka I read during the flight. What did we end up deciding for weekly number of chapters?
 
Tokyo Ghoul 1-143 END

I only started reading it cause I heard it ended. What a crock of shit. Either that's one of the worst endings ever or there's a part B that's about to begin in a few weeks.

Nozoki Ana 1-116 END

Wanted a good romance/comedy/drama and this was an enjoyable read. It's also an h-manga though, so there's sex in practically every chapter. The values of peeping. The ending with that last bit of drama came out of nowhere though.

Not a comments on the current arc, but it annoys me that the author sweep away the matter of Kaneki feeding himself.
We went from "sugar cubes" to curb his hunger so he could get by, to the issue never being mentioned again after the torture scene.

You had to be in an erratic mental state to begin with to read so much Seo in so little time.

Don't think there has been any formal decision yet.

We all should have a crazy pepping attractive neighbour at some point of our lifes.
The manga went on for too long and the ending was lite-Seo, but its a very enjoyable read.
And the sex scenes just help the enjoyment.

Tokyo Hatsu Isekai Yuki 8

poor unicorn...

Recent Purchase and impression:

Hunter x Hunter vol. 1

Yo, look like i'm going to purchase rest of the volume....

Idol Ace vol.1

It's Mitsuru Adachi cross dressing manga and off course there's a baseball. I never purchase any of his book since i was poor during my school day. Guess it's time to purchase his manga. Maybe find a complete collection of cross game or H2.


Mix vol.1

Another manga by Mitsuru Adachi, a sequel to Touch, which i've never read.

I Am Hero 6

Still the best zombie manga out there


Magister Negi Magi v.38

Hot damn it's been 10 years since i first collect this. Finally complete.

Hanada Shonen shi vol. 3 and 4

The comedy and drama is still strong, but vol. 4 really hit home. I'd cry at the end of the volume. Last volume is 5, the only volume i've never read before when it was published by another publisher.

I've been posting badass pictures of professor munakata for awhile now.

I want to be him when I grow up. Except I can't grow such a fabulous moustache. :(

You could always stick a fake mustache on your face~

So far 30 chapters per week has a slight edge, although the poll isn't over before tomorrow midnight.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed Suzuka, at least for your money's worth.

And here lies my dream of losing C1 for superior C2. Then again... she might as well come back. to further show what plebs the two Onoderas are in comparison to everyone else.

I finished Tokyo Ghoul.

I don't know how to put it but I always felt the pacing was a little awkward for panels to panels transition. Like something was a little off. I think the only time where I was comfortable with the pacing was the early bits. The last arc ( not just the ending ) felt notably rushed, I don't if that was because of the mangaka is a perfectionist since he named chapter 72 as 'Half-way'. 1 chapter for epilogue for such a rushed arc is shitty, the (emotional) impact simply diminished because readers can feel that things are simply going through the motion, and in an unusually fast pace. I like his art though, not so much for the action scenes but more for the character designs. No major complaints on the story, just more on the way it was delivered. It would help if it could be a little more subtle too.

Either way, I'm interested in a sequel which is speculated to be coming I guess.

Tokyo Hatsu Isekai Yuki Chapter 8

I could read Ohtake Masao's manga all day. ALL DAY.

Eden: It's an Endless World!

I like all Hiroki Endo's works. Personally, I will rank it this way. Tanpenshuu > Eden > All Rounder Meguru. But since I'm going to read a 100+ chapters work, I figure something similar in length would be more compatible.

Tokyo Ghoul End

I also finished Toyko Ghoul, I might post something more later, but for now lets just say this wasn't an ending, it felt very much like an "anime ending", when a series running out of chapters to adapt.

Also Amon and Kaneki are gone, Amon in particular would be a big loss for the story since he was the only CCG member that, even if only very slightly, seemed to be curious about Ghouls point of view.

Some people might enjoy the despair as they read Suzuka themselves~

I'm likely one of those people.

I believe there's still hope for
Kaneki's survival.

Read part of it, sounds plausible, though honestly I care more about Amon than Kaneki, it's easier to replace Kaneki as the lead (and if there's a sequel
I'm guessing Kaneki might not be the lead even if he's alive)
than to replace Amon.

I'm told by a translator friend of mine that this part is accurate:
Also, while the translation used in the scan says they killed off everyone in Kokuria, apparently that translation isn’t accurate, and it’s more along the lines of ‘the ccg took no prisoners in the anteiku raid.’
Apparently it should be:

"According to my info, the CCG's policy this time was complete annihilation. The number sent to Cochlea [Kokuria] was zero."
Don't die~

If I die I'll die doing what I love.
 
Prison School 30-100

Man, that climax was really amazing. I figured they would find ways to keep the boys in prison for the duration of the series. Started to feel bad for Hana and Meiko.

The chairman is the man. That whole butt interrogation was some of the funniest stuff I've read in a..

..WHILE!

Hate the regular student council members. Poor Meiko, I knew she had to have experienced some sort of bullying as a child to turn out the way she did. Even though these 3 have been really horrible to the boys, its hard not to root for them now that theyre in this predicament. Kind of surprised the whole ordeal with Joh was resolved so quickly. I guess all it takes is a cute smile and a cupcake.

I wonder why Mari hates boys so much. I blame her dad.

Tonari no Seki-Kun Volume 5
Found out that volume 5 released today! Glad I'm not reading any scantlation chapter so this one still fresh. Seki's mom is the best, hope she appears again later.
Rumi's mom is much hotter though

See I feel that
Kaneki isn't a replaceable lead. His psychological development throughout the series is a big hook for me and for others. And for him to be replaced by Amon who isn't as dynamic as Kaneki, would be less interesting. Also add to the fact that Kaneki is unpredictable as an lead. And I just can't see Ishida topping Kaneki as a MC with Amon. To me Amon is better off interacting with Kaneki than being the lead.
And who doesn't like Kaneki's interaction with Hinami, Touka, Banjo, and Tsukiyama. And
for that to be destroyed would be unacceptable.

Anyways for all we know Arima
could be the MC :(
Oh yeah forgot to tell you the last chapter had mistranslations.

Chairman is great, but do you hate Risa as well? That's not good. You shouldn't hate Risa.

I just realized that after 42 chapters, there's only enough content for 1 volume and some leftover pages.

There are already two volumes out though if MU is to be believed.

Shes just uninteresting so far. I dont like her design either, shes just a gloomy girl with a stick. But this series does a good job of making all the characters likable in some level so I'll hold my final judgment.

The USC were evil but they were great to hate. The copious amount of fan service also swayed opinions in their favor :3
 
Tomodachi Game 1
5 best buds take part in a game of trust to clear one of their friend's debts. 'Course, they don't actually know which one of them has the debt, and predictably their friendship turns out to be less watertight than they'd anticipated. Has that delicious survival game vibe plus the promise of betrayals everywhere. Followed like a £20 note blowing away in the wind.
 
Gintama 310

Sneaky tactics killing my Yato bros

I like that even though they are fodder, Gintoki, Kagura and their posy need to use tactics to take them down
Of course there was some stretches like those two police guys happened to find a trap hole and what not but amusing tactics non the less



Fairy Tail 401


Oh Wow pretty nice.... is what I might've been saying if it released already :(

I wonder if they're shorter volumes or something.
I mean 6-7 page chapters, so only about 250/60 pages.
Oh wait, I forgot about the in between chapters, so that'd probably be closer to 300.

It's published online first so there's always the possibility of physical copies getting bonus pages as well.

Oh, I didn't mean that I wanted Amon to become the MC, just that I feel he's harder to replace in the overall story. Kaneki was a fine MC, but he had his overall arc and I felt it was complete enough that I wouldn't mind a different MC for the next part of the story who could have his/her own arc. You could even have Kaneki alive as a side-character.

Arima was way too hack for my taste, I really hope he's not human.
 
Isn't that a good thing~?

You should thank us~

Hiro hyped up Igneel for so long and now he finally appears

it is somewhat stupid that he was in Natsu all this time but at least with this chapter (which has yet come out) I'll be able to check off one more thing on my list of things I waited to see in FT...



Which means it would be easier to drop afterwards
