Suzuka 0

Well, not going to say that Seo starts are the most imaginative out there, but this was a fairly uninteresting premise.
Way more graphical than I expected, right off the bath. The art is clearly rougher than his more recent works, but recognizable, especially the faces.

Suzuka 1

Not much to say here, Suzuka being frigid to Yamato for some reason.

Suzuka 2

Friend that commits sexual harrassement, we're off to a good start with asshole characters.
 
Suzuka 1

How bad it could possibly be..?

Halfway through the chapter, there are already plenty of fanservices. -_-

Also, generic ntr (?) protagonist is generic

Busy with college stuff this week, let's see if I could read 30 chapters by the end of the week

Suzuka ch4

A new love rival is exactly what we needed.

Suzuka ch5

What sucky friends, and cliché development, but at least it was somewhat sweet.

Suzuka ch6

But of course.
 

striferser

Huge Nickleback Fan
Reading Suzuka while listening to NND uttatemita ranking. Tokyo Ghoul opening sure is popular.

Suzuka 6
No nips, but there's bra. Also, protag is great at running

Suzuka 7

No nips, no fanservice. Sharing umbrella chapter.
Suzuka 8
Bewbs and nips.. yeeey! I'm tempted to put boiled egg in microwave.
Suzuka 9
No fanservice. Indirect kiss, how lewd~. Megane cool guys appear, Goro (the cat) have more balls than Yamato.
Suzuka 10
No fanservice. Getting all huggy-huggy there. Yamato realize his true feeling.
Suzuka 11
No fanservice. To confess or not to confess. Seriously Yamato, just confess.

Suzuka 12

Pantyshot and boobs grab. Man, i wish my newspaper subscriber give me ticket to amusement park
Suzuka 13
I think there's a bondage scene somewhere. Hand holding. LEEEEWWD! Yamato confessing his love.
Suzuka 14
No fanservice. Rejection, and Yasunobu is A-tier bro when he's not being a dick.

That's all for now folks!

You guys are making me want to read more Suzuka.

That wasn't the intention!

so for Suzuka

what is the rule? can we do batch impression or it have to be 1 by 1?

These are the rules:

I should probably say, although it's kinda obvious:

Impressions are REQUIRED.

Don't mind if you want to do an impression per chapter, per 5 or per 20. but you gotta post your impressions.

But yeah, it'll be 30 per week. No more or less than the decided amount.

muahahahaha

personal preference. Like if you want to do a grander impression of a bunch of chapters go for it, or if you want to go 1 by 1 that's fine too. Although do it like striferser did so the thread isn't spammed.

the main thing is we get impressions and discussion

Suzuka 0-10
nips, super tsundere that is bad at cooking. and "I forget that you are my childhood friend".

on bright side I dont see any dense person so far.

Suzuka 11-20

confession, rejection, raging jealousy to the person that you heard his name once.

the MC certainly have good personality!

Suzuka 21-30

sorry but you dont deserve the talk if you dont have skill to prove it. as the result MC become crybaby.

Kingdom ch403

I wonder if she'll ever be redeemed.

It just Lu Buwei
since Li Si is a turncoat, Lord Changping still have significant in future, and Cai Ze being too old

Kingdom takes some liberties with actual events (see: Bi) so I wonder about that.
 
Sounds like you had fun finding all that LIFE. Surprising to hear that the Super Sonico girl is that popular, and I'd have thought Vocaloid and Kancolle would be more popular than stuff like SAO or FSN. Hope you'll share some photos later~

Sonico gets like a new figure announced every month. And every month her LIFE gets bigger and bigger. It's weird who on earth keeps buying this stuff.

It's been out for more than a year though? I guess it'll truly get popular when the anime airs? What are the more popular manga-centric properties? Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun?

Kancolle is only just starting. A bunch of figures have gone up for preorder and its only time before boat girls take over.

I didn't know Li Si was a traitor, I do know about the rest though!
Well,
Li Si served as the prime minister for the whole Zeng's reign :p
Kingdom ch403


Kingdom takes some liberties with actual events (see: Bi) so I wonder about that.

While the author takes many liberties (in good way) with Kingdom. he can't stray too far from history, especially the ones that well recorded, and highlighted in the Grand Historian Record such as this. If there is any liberty, it'll probably how event unfold and the conclusion of Lu Buwei and Zeng's mother life.
 
Fairy Tail 401

:mad: Hmph!

That is not what I wanted... I wanted to see a chapter solely based on Acnologia vs Igneel
but Natsu's spoiled ass had to go and there try to argue with the guy while he was fighting....
Plus Igneel said he was "All fired up" D:<

I know maybe he (Igneel) taught Natsu that phrase but it just feels that Natsu is contagious with that catch phrase....


Damn got to wait for the next chapter I guess.... :/

I thought Kancolle was popular for almost a year already? Maybe I just have different expectations of its popularity. I believed it was everywhere on the streets considering how hot it is on sites like Pixiv and NicoNico.
Still have no idea about Sonico girl. Maybe it relies on dedicated whales or something, because one official figure a month is some crazy rate.

I don't expect anything drastic but like you said I expect events to unfold differently, and I hope the author manages to surprise us with the conclusion.

RIP Lubbock. Broest of Bros you will be missed.

So why are we hating on Tatsumi again? Is it because he refusing the advances of our esdeath sama?

Now we're left 5 out of the 8 original members of night raid. That.....isn't quite alot as compared to the rest of the imperial forces death count.

I'd like to know this too. Last time I was in this thread people generally liked him.

Mind you this is his Whitebeard War moment. There's no way he gets out of this without being grievously injured otherwise it's just too improbable, especially given Lubbock's end.

It always takes a while for figures and other merchandise to start appearing out in the wild.

Kancolle is only just starting. I think it is getting like a new figure up for preorder every week or so.

If someone doesn't post his impressions, how would you know the isn't following the rules? He may be reading the manga but you wouldn't know! Because he isn't posting about it!

Suzuka 2
Onee-sans are indeed the best, Yasunobu

Suzuka 3
Love rival, how surprising

Suzuka 4
Obligatory "MC got sick" chapter

So far, nothing interesting happens... yet
 
Suzuka 0-5

Alright, man..... where to start.


First of all these translations fucking suck. I legit wish there was a reasonable way to get the volumes without paying over the odds for second hand copies of the Del Rey releases. I honestly wonder how some of these people can credit themselves as proofreaders when hardly an ounce of proofreading has gone into this. If they did you wouldn't get shit like "It makes me hard to breathe".

Anyway. Yamato is honestly not that shit of a main character so far. I guess he's kinda bland, but he's not a dickhead at least.

The setup is... a thing. Dude moves to the city and will live in a public bath house/dorm for women only. Yep. Sounds like a Seo Kouji manga alright. Tits aplenty. You can definitely see how his art has evolved in his later series though. Half & Half in particular. The art in Suzuka isn't necessarily bad, but it's clearly unrefined. Some of it may be the scan qualiy too making it look kinda hokey.

Yasunobu is a piece of shit. He'll probably annoy me a lot honestly, but I guess that's what he's there for.

The fan service duo are pretty funny. dark skinned girl is obviously the better of the two. They'll be good comic relief.

Sakurai has potential. At the moment she's pretty bland. Her reasons for liking him right now are pretty tenuous but at least she's honest I guess.

Then there's Suzuka... man oh man. I'm not sure whether to love her or hate her. She's totally the character trope I like. Tsundere, kinda bitchy etc. etc. However there's just something about her that's not clicking right now. Maybe it's because there's nothing else really to her yet. She just seems kinda nasty.

I'll read more tonight/tomorrow.

Suzuka ch7

Dude's handling it like an elementary schooler.

Suzuka ch8

Dude's taking it with the sensibility of a bulldozer.

Suzuka ch9

Dude's got the pleasant personality of a warthog.

Suzuka ch10

Dude's a moron, but the candles made me laugh.

Suzuka ch11

Dude's a fucking moron.
 
Sporting Salt 1
I guess it has somewhat improved since the oneshot but man, Jump really is desperate these days.
They've had some good oneshots thpugh, like ghe one from Hungry Joker mangaka, Takudo!!, Peach Pluck, Amano's and Wonderful Wonder World. Not counting Jump Next stuff like Best Blue, X Rex and Try Zone.
 
Sporting Salt 1

Love Shioya's design after the chapter, can get some pretty funny faces and moments. Still wonder about the longevity of the series though with over 80 sports teams to lead to the nationals, perhaps it has a long term plan ready.
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Unless the explanation next week is really good, I'm expecting the finish of the Mimisaka match to be anti-climactic as fuck.

the outcome is practically a given because of what's at stake, so it could never really have an amazing end unless the foodgasms were godlike and the explanation was completely out of left field.
