Believe me brah, there is no need to lecture me on the wonders of manga out there. Not a day goes buy where I don't discover something interesting I want to read. There is oodles of fabulous stories out there. But my convictions to support the mangaka and read in print are stronger than this sense of wonder. Since I want to be a comic superstar how can I in good faith read online and allow leeches to profit? I will learn new languages and support my dreams and I will be rewarded. But for now I am stuck with whatever is released in this pathetic market and carry the burdens of those who read Naruto and Bleach every week while posting "why i still read dis mangsit sucks."
I totally understand. The American manga market is pathetic and it's overpriced. I understand that you want to support the author, but I have to wonder how much of that money they're actually seeing. It's like how I like to support musicians I respect. I hardly buy CDs, though, because they get very little of that (I just go to concerts and buy merchandise). I also think you would be surprised by how many artists are just happy to have their stuff read when it's not available in certain markets. You're not leeching if you can't even buy/read their stuff, in my opinion, anyway. Lots of manga are legally available for free, too. I'm trying not to rant, but a lot of questions come to mind whenever I see you post, "Are you supporting the author, breh?"

I wish you luck on your journey to comic superstardom.
Isnt he a huge proponent for Silver Spoon.

I believe he is.

Iron Knight 3

Pretty dull and could even be more dull if the next chapter goes a predictable route making everyone turn their backs to him now that they know he has this power. Atrocious character antagonists, and just plain dull exposition overall. The series started strong but is sinking pretty fast.

I want to read print though brah. I abhor digital. If Mexio or Spain was like the French market I would be good. Ill just go full ore and learn Japanese then...

The villains designs are awful shit looks like Beet The Vandal Buster. He is talented with backgrounds as Kubo is.

The best part about mutual "unrequited" love is that the mangaka can write 1000 chapters and never have to advance the story!

TWGOK 255

Some good backstory, and Elsie :3

I'm ready for the climax, though.
 
You might need a bit more motivation when learning a new language, but you might find other Japanese things that you love because of this, and I'm all for that. I wish you the best of luck. I hope you like flashcards!

The anticipation is killing me. Please, do go on, scy.
Nah brah. I don't let the experiences and limitations of others effect. What more motivation would I need then access to wonderful worlds?

TWGOK 246-249

Being an honor student is that high of a bar for you Elsie?

Crossing fingers Kaori is still a bitch when they return to their time.


World Embryo 77-86

Thought it would have a chance to break the 100 chapter barrier but the endgame is pretty apparent.

Rena being final girl was evident ever since she was called "Mama".


Kuroko no Basket 229-231

Fun to see their families and introductions.

Says this will be the final match, but I'm assuming there's going to be something else after this.
 
One Piece 733

That's it? Flashback for people no one cares about and an off panel defeat in an arena? I hope the anime takes liberties with this moment and fills in the blanks. I do commend the strength of the toy soldier fighting on for his family.
 
A town where your crush is more awkward then you are 3-4

While not as bad as Haruto, Nanami is also an awkward character and any relationship between these two characters is going to be all kinds of horrible to watch

...

...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A town where you can't read this at work 5

Suddenly boobies and I had to hide my screen as people walk past in the break room. Guess I'll need to snag a corner seat next time I read on break.
 
Karusi ni Diamond 4-5 (end)

Well based on the descriptions in the afterword, I think it is true that the second story did suffer, the ending could have been more enhanced as it just ends after Koma gets up dripping and then chasing after him with no clue of what happened in the winter. The title story was great while the final story had incredible suspense with the stalker. Its always nice seeing such good happy stories of two in love in the countryside just enjoying life to the fullest in a peaceful and simple way.
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
TWGOK

Akari being Elsie's sister was the second worst kept secret in TWGOK after Dokurou being Nikaido.
 
Konya, Mister de 1 - 2

Chika taking refuge at a bar and running away from home from some unknown reasons has really attractive design. Loved that panel the most as most attractive person Ive seen in manga say that line up front with his childhood friend, and thankfully Kyohei didnt react all bad or mean or anything. Chika may play hard to get but even Kyohei could see that he did love him and such. Final phone call to close the series out mad me tear up, voice trembling even was a good touch.
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Hmm, how bad was this Fairy Tail...

*looks it up* .... For fuck's sake Mashima just draw porn already. In fact, that wouldn't look out of place in most porn.

I've run out of ways to say "Not much happened, hopefully only a few more chapters until another interesting arc/development occurs."

Edit: I had to check out the Fairy Tail chapter out of curiosity now. Erza seems to always be naked these days.
 
Kimi ga Naita kara 1

I dont see where this is going with the senpai and the crying tears from the love letter on the balcony, but I like the story style and the art. Hoping it goes in the direction I want.

It's probably easier to draw than some silly armor.

OR

Maybe that's her new armor.

Sure you did. ;b

On that note WHOA Mashima! Been drawing too many hentai doujins lately I bet. Him and Matsuena (HSDK Author) must have partnered up at one point lol.

Erza was naked the whole chapter and still he made sure to put her hair and speech bubbles perfectly lol. Well he kinda had too anyways or it would have been softcore porn. Mira is getting tentacled >.> At least Natsu is there. Jellal is also a badass taking on the 6 villains lol.

HSDK

More naked Shigure makes me happy. But what I don't like is that Kenichi hasn't had a good fight in a long ass time.
 
Fairy Tail

Remember when I said FT was always really generic and you always knew what was coming, well fuck me :O that just damn that's dark surprised he got away with that in a weekly shonen.

Convienent/predictable that Jellal is the final living key and that Natsu found the place so easily, but all and all can't complain good chapter.
