He wants to fight strong people, but doesn't want to die against insurmountable odds, if that makes sense.

Yeah, it does, but it still seems weird to me and doesn't seem in line with Hisoka's character. I guess let's see how this develops further.
Good. I would hope things like that are why we like hunter x hunter.
I like it more for the execution than the weird ideas.

I'm a big fan of Sengoku Youko. Takes place in oldie Japan with demons and stuff.
If you want something utterly fucking depressing in a nihilistic sort of way, Bokurano is a story about a bunch of kids piloting a giant robot as they fight and beat a monster of the week. Be warned, not for the faint of heart. There is some fucked up shit here.
While I think The Breaker is kind of overrated, it's still got some pretty balls to the walls fights (it and its sequel series Breaker: New Waves) so if you want some martial arts action in a modern day setting, this isn't a bad choice.

And the harem continues to grow... I can definitely say I'm glad this is being released as 2-in-1 volumes, because the story kind of moves at a snail's pace in the first half. This must have been excruciating to read as a monthly series with only 20 pages each chapter.
Edit: Actually Wikipedia tells me the magazine came out twice a month. But still, this series had only 18 volumes total over 11 years so I'm guessing it didn't get released each issue or these chapters are going to get even shorter eventually lol.

I think it is as much or more to force Chrollo to face him...He wants Chrollo to become enraged and full of hate. Chrollo strength seems to come from being a calm and collected strategist, so I don't really think it adds up either.
HxH
In their last match, Hisoka was mostly improvising on the spot while Chrollo was setup and prepared. So Hisoka realized that to fight Chrollo he needs to prepare himself and fight Chrollo on his own terms, and killing the other spiders is part of that preparation (so it's basically part of the fight itself) just like Chrollo prepared by befriending them and taking their abilities. Makes sense to me

I did like the obligatory MonHun and DQ reference.

It's nice that they're all getting along~
The service industry truly is hardcore.

It's impressive how much progress Bocchi had made, that she's now encouraging others to get out of their shell (at her own pace).
She still has ways to go though.

I think MangaGAF is like the happiest community thread on this entire forum.
There haven't been any random arguments where someone gets banned in years in here.

Fairy tail is the best shonen manga and had an entirely fufilling ending. All of it's arcs are better than anything one piece ever shat out.
If this wouldn't do it, I don't know what would.

Incest ending was best ending, series only got good when she wanted to get boned by her step dad

Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba is only going to be a graphic novel release according to the newest issue of viz shonen jump.

The authors said they were only taking a break to write another series in the meantime.
So I'm gonna go with no.
What about Love is War and the side-story MHA? Those had the same "to be released as graphic novel" line as well.

Vigilantes will be added to the free section in august and be released weekly till caught up ala db super

One Piece, Bleach and Naruto were all running at the same time and every series had its own trolls who never shut up about how much it sucked and wouldn't let anyone just enjoy it without essays about how much they sucked while contributing almost nothing else. Basically BigOne.
Bleach was far less well-regarded than Naruto was so he'd always take the tack of pretending Bleach chapters were good when they were obviously bad so he could keep up the nonstop contrarian act.

Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san
Note: Yuragi-sou no Yunna-san is a supernatural harem manga.
Kogarashi must have been possessed by the ghost of an ancient Nakiri ancestor or something because he's blowing people's clothes up with his delicious cooking. I mean, in reality it was almost assuredly a reference - tosh was actually an assistant of the Yuragi's author.
And for the record, this dude is a goddamn harem master. Not only did he get every girl in his harem a White Day gift tailored to their specific likes and preferences, they all had Shokugeki-esque foodgasms from what he made. He's the only harem lord I can think of that probably deserves to have a giant harem of beautiful women.

Our Journey to Lesbian Motherhood ch9
Ah yes, the concerned 'progressives'. They are always a joy to deal with. It's like they think the gay couple didn't think about the possible repercussions before, but I guess most of the time it's a cover to hide the fact that they aren't as progressive as they want others to believe.

Disapointing, but at least it is getting an official release.

I'd also argue that children aren't very perceptive about differences. Children are very perceptive to all the badmouthing their parents do of other people and parrot it like dumb... parrots to other kids.
True, these kind of people are also more likely than not to pass it off to their kids the notion that gay couples are somehow 'wrong' or should be discouraged, which in turn feeds into the bullying. Truly understanding, they are.

I always laugh at people worrying that kids with same sex parents might be picked on, as if kids would otherwise not pick on others over petty shit or that they would be picked on harder in that particular case.
That whole last page was something else.
It's still total shit though.

MHA 147
Kind of got HxH vibes with the narration of the director's thought process/actions. Also a board game!
Too bad I don't really care for twice/toga, still a pretty good chapter though.
Promised Neverland 49
These demons are very nice. Neat explanation for the flower.
HxH 366
Wow, lots of exposition/groundwork being laid out. Going to need to reread this one (and probably the whole arc) again. Last page is great.

I think this is the second cliffhanger of the series. Seems like it will be tougher to back out of this revelation though. So...development!
Black Clover 119
Glad Luck got a pretty solid moment before he gets crushed by aqua deer captain next. Wish this tournament was moving a little faster, but I guess setting up a match a chapter isn't too bad.
Dr. Stone 21
Suika is amazing. Her solid snake esque disguise stance is hilarious. Really great chapter all around. The payoff to the fan thing was excellent. I hope they keep playing up the self centric science kingom Senku jokes.

Robot x Laserbeam 19
Not even I'm going to defend this chapter. So much doesn't make sense or give the reader reason to care. Why is Robo's score suddenly not getting omitted? Why does it even matter? If the teams regulars are winning over the best high school team I guess that's already a win. Robo's speech or whatever at the end was also uninspiring.
Bummed Kimetsu no Yaiba won't be joining the magazine. Getting the volumes is still (much) better than nothing though!

Oh the misunderstanding. Though Furuhashi does seem the most aware of the situation.
Also, thats some serious spy set-up by the other girls.

It's definitely because the veteran guy (I forget which one) is hiding an injury (or rather, hiding that an old injury hasn't fully healed) and so he's gonna either start fucking up or he'll have to withdraw on the back 9. Thus, his score will have to be the one that gets dropped and Robo's score will count.
And I'm guessing that most of the other high school's players are sandbagging. This whole thing is just a vanity project for their star player.
