Did this have a oneshot before? Maybe I should go read it if it's translated.
 
maybe it could.... since we never knew of its particular terms


Like Laws fruit that kills the fruit user when using that certain ability maybe if Brook never did die but instead used it to save one of his crew mates... if they ever did die before him then the same clause could occur
 
Hi-Fi Cluster 2
Still the best one. Socrates label and being able to see so much of peoples abilities as well as their feelings? and vitality? Wonder if it can advance even more. Jugojo's faces still one of the best part of the series though, and the 2nd chapter overall was wholly entertaining.

Suzuka 7-12

Tsundere is being tsundere, more shanenigans like the umbrella and the dude is a moron, but hey! he's kind!

The rate of boobs dropped dramatically and the asshole friend is not that asshole (for now)
 
As someone who used to practice judo, the fact that it's called "judos" annoys me to no end.

Like what is it supposed to refer to? Practitioners are "Judoka".

"Judos" literally makes no sense at all.

These ears are fucking ugly. Did Mike Tyson practice judo or what?

Some kind of pun maybe?

Sporting Salt ch1

Art is alright I guess even if proportions and body positions are sometimes weird, and characters are straightforward. Nothing outstanding, however I feel this series would be much better off as a seinen, as the concept of sports medicine itself isn't bad but trying to make it some sort of action-packed "to be the best" manga doesn't feel appropriate.

Cauliflowered ears. It happens to fighters. Here is Randy Coture's ear, for example

Oh, didn't knew about this condition. Well, at least it's one thing this thing called Judos did right.

For Judos, can someone with actual moonrunes skills clarify if there's a pun in it so that we can settle this matter? Its title is supposed to be ジュウドウズ (Juudouzu) and I have no idea what it could mean.

Manager's daughter is possibly the leader of Aogiri / "The One-Eyed King"? But it hasn't really been confirmed, just speculation on the character's part.

While there's not any confirmation that Eto is the One-Eyed King, most speculation is that they are the same person.

The Black Rabbit plotline was never really tied off. I'm assuming it was Touka's younger brother?

Yes, the Black Rabbit is Ayato. In the final chapter, you see him holding a black rabbit mask.

Suzuka 3

Four chapters into it and Suzuka already has her hands around Yamoto.
A potentially superior girl (who shall loose) as also already appeared.

Suzuka 4

Sakurai already winning points, though I'm confused as to why she let Yamato no food to eat.
Suzuka wasn't too bad in this cbapter either. A bit cold but she seems to care enough.
 
Sporting Salt 1

eh...not really feeling this tbh.

just a bunch of shonen tropes so far and while the goal is different (sports doctor is new) it doesn't feel as compelling imo and also the art is not grabbing me here either.

Might wait until it gets a few chapters before deciding if its worth its salt.


Also If the one shot was worse than this then yikes :/

Waga Na wa Umishi 1-9

I was planning to read a chapter or two but the story grabbes me in a way that I ended up reading the entire first arc.

The series starts with a different premise, diving, while that might not sound too exciting, the actual focus on salvaging and saving people lives.
The series main character is flawed and starts off with an absolute view of the world, but the first arc has some nice character progression as he's forced to face with the ghosts from the past by being unable to save someone from dying. The situation itself was predictable (otherwise the story wouldn't advance), but the execution was well made, it was hard to see the MC being unable to save the person.

Caught me off guard, looking forward to read more.

AND SO IT BEGINS. It is now midnight BST on Monday 22nd of September 2014.


Today marks the beginning of the MangaGAF Suzuka book club readalong EXTRAVAGANZA


Brought to you by MangaGAF Hero Seo Kouji


Bask in his glory:

26957.jpg



Over the next 6 weeks we will be reading a set amount of chapters of Suzuka a week and posting impressions on what will undoubtedly be a timeless classic.

Over the last week, 21 brave souls decided to join the book club. For what, you ask? To bask in the glory of our hero. And to get a recommendation in a banner in the OP if they make it through the 167 chapters (thanks Dramatis!)

For those who decide enough is enough at any point; you are better than the rest of us. And because of that you have to use an image of your choice of worst girl from another of MangaGAF Hero Seo Kouji's epics: Kimi no Iru Machi as your avatar. You must use this avatar for an amount of days equal to the number of chapters you didn't read. For example, if you stop at chapter 67 you will have to use the avatar for 100 days.

These are the members:

The details:

We will read 30 chapters per week as decided by the people in this thread using a poll. Here is a screenshot of the results:



Week 1 (ends 23:59 BST on Sunday 28th September 2014): chapter 1-30
Week 2 (ends 23:59 BST on Sunday 5th October 2014): chapter 31-60
Week 3 (ends 23:59 BST on Sunday 12th October 2014): chapter 61-90
Week 4 (ends 23:59 BST on Sunday 19th October 2014): chapter 91-120
Week 5 (ends 23:59 BST on Sunday 26th October 2014): chapter 121 - 150
Week 6 (ends 23:59 BST on Friday 31st October 2014): chapter 150-167


NOTE. Week 6 has half the chapters so we'll end on Halloween, aka Friday October 31st instead. Fitting.


Thanks for taking part, it's gonna be fun. Good luck, and god speed folks.

I salute you.
30 chapters

Suzuka 5

Super speed and bra.


Suzuka 6

Starting to feel bad for Sakurai already.


Suzuka 7

Things seem to be developing well between Suzuka and Yamato, I wonder how long it will take for everything to break down.

That frontal naked Saotome shot is the best thing about the series do far.
