The same thing that happened to Fire Emblem fans

Make all discussions about the game boil down to waifu wars

to be fair, that's basically how Fire Emblem always has been

but instead of playing a matchmaker to them, you now have a stake in who ends up with who

Implying pokefans aren't already going to war over their waifus.

Kobold-chan is really cute.

Too bad I prefer the femme fatale type.

Nozoki Ana 24-66

Big reading binge last night...I couldn't sleep. I am STILL shocked about the way Tatsu's relationships are unfolding. I don't know why he doesn't just go with her.

Reading your impressions make me want to read it again hahaha

Switch, how are you able to miss from this Distance, one could not do this even if he wants to!

Chanbi is a dragon and needs to man up.
Why was he crying after being shot at? He's a dragon and needs to power through adversity instead of tearing up. Hopefully, test proctor intervenes, finds out the truth, and takes Murang under her wing as an apprentice.

I received A Zoo in Winter by Jiro Taniguchi for christmas after wanting it for ages. I just finished reading it. Really good I wish there was more! What are the other works of Taniguchis that people recommend? I've read the first few chapters of Distant Neighbourhood ages ago and would like to get that eventually. The Walking Man seems interesting I might get that book next.

Also I just discovered a manga called Prophecy - any good?

Monster Musume - Mom's Arc done-

So I'm divided between Mia and Papi mother,
mostly because of the tan look
.

Cerea mother sucks. Her race reproduction is disturbing as heck though, it's basically institutionalized NTR. Plus the extreme difference between genres doesn't make much sense.

All of Taniguchi's manga are decent to good. A Distant Neighbourhood is closer to A Zoo in Winter in style and his best work. The Walking Man is mostly episodic adventures of a man walking around the city so there isn't a strong narrative, but it's still a good read. The Ice Wanderer is just bunch of short stories, not all of them are great, but might be worth reading.

Prison School 149

Kate has no idea what she just did, Hana is essentially a wild card at this point. Kate's going to be burnt.

Crazy Hana is best Hana though, so I'm looking forward to whatever comes next.

Prison School even manages to elevate peeing to art.

Not everything from Taniguchi is available in Eng, I think the ratio is about 50%. Of those works, most of them are ok with Distant Neighbourhood being my favorite from him.

Prophecy itself isn't fully available in Eng even though the manga has ended its run. It's also one of those series that are neither very good or bad.

Latest 3 chapters from Sena Youtarou.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Fuuka

Don't even plan to read this manga or any other work of this author for that matter but I couldn't help to read chapter 36 after a GAFfer posted a couple pages down and was so pleasantly delighted I had to go back to earlier in this thread and read the melt-down history... IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. I deliberately went back to post dealing with chapters 34 and 35 because I wanted to taste the optimism and goodwill towards the authors.

I totally understand why people take a nihilistic approach to some author's works... You don't want to be that guy raging when a shitty writer shits the bed... when I writer's out of ideas, they're gonna go back to what they know... some people just never learn.

The MC picked best girl, but really is everyone in that universe a raging asshole? Not a single character on screen has been anything but asses.

Also, this was the most excusive chapter yet, to be fair, that's probably part of its charm.

Kazumi the master strategist strikes again. I know it's just the way she is, but it's pretty hilarious seeing her getting incensed over being called a slut by Takaya, and then acting like that on those last pages. Wonder if they'll run into the other loving couple during their movie date.
Yeah, that was hilarious...

"I told you, stop calling me a slut! I am a virgin!"

The hate only makes Seo stronger

Its a self-prepetuating cycle of hate Rebel. We hate his work yet we read it and reach to top of mountains to yell our hatred for his works. Princess Lucia, Suzuka and Fuuka, I hate them all.
Sad part is that I loved the first two to death during the beginning, especially Suzuka since I related to it quite a bit.

Was looking for a fighting shounen with good fights, and little fluff. I got a lot of recommendations for Nanatsu no Taizai. It's ok.

I know I should be checking out Takahashi Hiroshi stuff.
