Got hyped on Attack on Titan again by watching the anime.

Haven't read the manga in months, time to plunge back into it.

I finally finished Hoshi no Samidare. Somebody hold me. It was amazing. The characters, the plot, the art... everything was so unique and interesting. I loved every moment.

Slam Dunk (Vol. 12)
You can really see Inoue's art improve with every volume.

Eyeshield 21 (Vol. 6)
I like everyone on the team. This series is awesome because it's able to make every football game like a shounen battle. The way strategies and action are shown is very well done.

Kindaichi (Random Volume)
Best boy detective. This was the first manga series I ever read.

Devilman (Vol. 3)
The demons are coming. Oh sh-
yay!

One Punch Man Chapters 1-12

I was happy to have the addition of Genos since the first chapters was really what the title suggest. After his arrival the show got a lot funnier. Saitama is so overpowered but so weird lol.

One Piece vol 16-19

While the backstory on Tony Tony Chopper took a little too long for my liking, it did pay off pretty well. The snow land story was well done, even if the drama of Nami being sick was taken away rather quickly.

I'm also glad they introduced the idea of prison bars that replicated the effect of the ocean on Devil Fruit eaters. They keep talking about bounties these people have, and they finally showed how it's possible to contain them. Though why Smoker, who has eaten a Devil Fruit, carries a staff with the same material on it is a real mystery (wouldn't it weaken him?)

Okay series right now. I wasn't really digging it until that new kid showed up now I'm enjoying it more. Is the MC a dude or a chick?
 
Kuro Kuroku 1

Well that was challenging to get through. Kuroku design is good but I cant help but feel that he will only be with us a short time. The manga concept feels a bit not fresh in the context of other manga on the market and even briefly on the past of the magazine. The yokai aspect feels a bit low key and kind of not as good as other series even, Chiaki doesnt really have nothing going for her (or rather nothing to make her stand out) and other minor things just didnt really make it interesting. I guess his weapon of sorts was somewhat compelling but two panels for it was really too shortlived.

Cant really see it going >25chps at this point in time.

Since Onepunch Man is pretty much caught up to the translations of the webcomic, I figured I'd go ahead and start reading it...

Onepunch Man (ONE) 46-48
Great three chapters. Seriously, 48 was amazing. Can't wait to read it again with Murata's art.

Just wanted to say, it feels really good to watch the anime and spot all the little clues and things that explain what are now simple, logical acts, what back then caused me to freak out and lose my mind over how unexplainable everything was. It's solid stuff.

(while i'm talking about anime to bring up the manga, guys, silver spoon is really freaking good, you guys)

Attack on Titan

The big problem with the Titan anime is that the artwork doesn't suck making the Titan shifters identities really obvious to figure out
You underestimate my inability to figure out things. There's no way I could even suspect it. I get what you're saying though, Reiner the most so.

Watching anime gaf after just this most recent episode currently guess both Annie and Reiner indicates that bad art of the manga did have an impact, or anime gaf if more clever then us
 
Koi ni Nare! 1

Often times in these stories the better option is to go roommate roomate instead teacher over roommate. So I was disappointed it went in that route. Maybe he will have a change of heart midvolume.
 
Sen-Ichi-Ya DROP 01


A sun-hating, anemic, unemployed guy goes out in order to find a job to provide to his little sister. He then gets kidnapped by bandits and discovers a genie.

I like the first chapter. It's pretty silly and the setting and story is pretty different from what I have read before. The art isn't bad and the characters are pretty amusing. I do look forward to seeing how the genie gets used especially since it's pretty different from other genies.

Horimiya 24 - Tooru getting his "Oh, she has a boyfriend now ;__;" chapter. Poor guy. On the bright side, second pairing focus now possibly.

I haven't watched the series but does it have something to do with eye color?
 
Assassination Classroom 53
Well they didn't drag out the midterms so that's good. Looking forward to the results of the exam, while it's obvious Class E scored the best results, I don't think Karma is going to beat the chairman's son.
 
No Aunt Tits this week? It's been almost two weeks since the last chapter.

Some raw images are out and an English summary of the chapter is out but currently no full raw scan or English scanlation

Also apparently the series will be on break next week. If English summary and the few raw images are correct then
its in the hole
 
Kurokuroku 01


I like this. It isn't as Sket Dance as I hoped it would be but it is still a fun read on its own right. I like the whole mix of youkai and humans and interplaying the whole civil servant aspect does leave it with a fun setting.

I like the art though some of the action does feel a little messy. The dialogue's fun and whitty and it's obvious it doesn't take itself seriously. I do look forward to seeing where this story goes especially now they got the whole youkai doesn't exist thing from the main girl out of the way.

Odd situation for the chapter, at least as the premise...how are they communicating with each other while taking these tests. Moving beyond that point went as expected. The scene with the poem wrapped around the characters and the classical jpn warriors was the best of the mix (though it was unclear who triumphed in that one). Putting all hopes on a Karmakun victory, dont let us down.

(Isogai's seemed pretty random, that seemed like something really minor to ask about, unless it is a big thing in JPN).

Sounds like we'll probably see it in a day or two then. I've got a gif ready just in case, it's a new one.
