Goodnight Punpun has ended ? Maybe I'll suffer with everyone else then.

I just came back from a party guys, I was with this girl but I think I blew it. Like minamoto. A shame. I coiuld've been blown instead. HA HA HA.
(Oh and I'm drunk and I'll have to work tomorrow. I hope there'll be only measles and gastro-enteritis to deal with)

Kono S Mi Yo bla blah 20-22
DUDE SHE'S CLEARLY USING YOU YOU'RE GONNA REGRET IT
Also, the NTR is becoming strong
I find myself rather pleased with how I write in ENglish at 3 am with 1,7g/L of blood alcohol, yayà

Probably one of the most adorable confessions I have ever seen.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Magi Question for those who've read past the current plot of the Anime

Currently the anime is about to start the war between the Magic Empire and the Leam Empire. I get the feeling this is going to get real bloody and I just wanted to go in with no surprises as to who's getting iced from the Magic school over the course of the arc. A simple IM or spoiler tag post illuminating the situation for me would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If you really want to know

Magi war death spoilers

really not many named characters get bodied outside of evil dumbledore and the magi who's in charge of the Liem empire IIRC lots of nameless mooks die though

Young Black Jack volume 2
CR6.jpg


This manga is filled with so much sadness. First half of the volume finished the Vietnam story, with Hazama meeting doctor Kiriko and saving a Vietcong just as the raid dropping napalm over the village arrives.

Second half dealt with Hazama meeting Eri Imagami, a very nice, kinda cute and naive girl that Hazama helped after finding her half unconscious with a cut on her face. She later goes to look for Hazama, crying because of the scar-looking stitches on her face, stitches Hazama removes showing that no scar was left behind. Right at that point, thanks to the kind of expression she was able to make (to not talk about all the other expressions she makes through the last half of the volume), I was hoping she'd become part of the story for longer than a few chapters. I wasn't ready for the type of ending to her story that I got instead.
The whole thing with Eri really filled me sadness and still now thinking about it makes me unhappy.

She's shown as a University student that got tangled into the whole rioting student movements. She's easily swayed by the leftist talks about opposing wars and stuff and that puts her into dangerous situations given how the violence started to ramp up as the manifestations went on.
As the story goes on and she gets to know Hazama more and more, seeing her grow a fond respect, and in my eyes some love, for him, ending up thinking "I want to shine just like Hazama does" at one point, made me hope for some kind of romantic involvement or, as I said before, her prolonged presence around.
What I got instead was a turn of events where Eri, after a couple years passed and she sees Hazama again, she mistakes him saving a woman from an aggression for something more (imo), making her pick the worst decision of her life as she feels she doesn't have a place to come back to anymore. She decides to go with her upperclassman from University to a kind of revolutionary camp in the mountains, a camp that we later learn was filled with crazy extremists concerned more about removing people without strong enough beliefs by torturing and killing them than anything else.

It was touching seeing Hazama meet her again as the upperclassman and a girl (same girl that got Hazama into trouble into the first volume) Eri saved from those crazies come looking for him in hope he could save Eri. Hazama's reaction, not wanting to have anything to do with those 2, until they mention Eri and then he goes with them highlights how Eri was important to him.

What got me was how, after he does his best to heal her and after she regained consciousness, she started talking with Hazama and telling him that this time she couldn't just pay him with a simple pendant like the first time when he put stitches on her face, at the same time hoping he was able to get some money by selling that pendant, something given to her by her grandfather, with Hazama replying back that he never sold the pendant. It was a memento of his first time: the first time he ever put stitches on someone was on Eri, making her call him a genius (she didn't have any scar left on her face thanks to him) and, after that, she slowly gets weaker and weaker until she ultimately dies.
Even remembering it now and looking back at the pages is getting me emotional.
If this keeps up in the next volume I might have to start only reading a chapter once in a while.

Someone needs to scanlate this in English so you guys can read it too.

More war spoilers

she shows up during this war arc along with Alibaba

Thanks for that :)

After seeing Alibaba, I got the itching suspicion that the band was coming back together. It'll be good to see if they went a little more into what happened in the valley she fell into.

Even though it feels a bit repetitive, I can't help but feel excited. This manga has got a serious amount of charm.

As Yet I Have No Name 1

A pretty subdued start, but that's not a bad thing. The back and forth/ guardedness between the two was great.

Punpun End


I might have to reread the entire thing to give my honest opinion of this. But I feel good about this ending. Reminds me of a youtube video I saw the other day it ws basically a Buddhist monk explaining the saying "Don't sweat the small stuff...and everything is small stuff"

A kinda uneventful volume after the past couple chapters, not even the "disease" was that big a deal really. Still, i just wonder what the hell is up with that Mozu guy.

I'll laugh if the ship's inoperable for some reason. lol

Goddamn, I really want you to read on now. Team summer A's introduction is one of the best arcs in the manga.
:eek:o

My favorite arc is the
underwater habitat flashback.
:eek:OOO

Hey Odagiri? Remember when you were a semi-important character? Yeah, you're comic relief now.
 
One Piece 736

I did enjoy the gomu gomu no gigant and Luffys attitude with it but the chapter felt like a waste. Where is our full Sabo reveal, did we really need to see such an uncreative DF power?

Good Ending
I've tried reading it before but couldn't get over the cringe worthy bullshit that is the first probably 30 chapters or so. I'm glad the author got rid of it relatively quickly. I quite liked the last hundred chapters or so, even if the whole
kidnapping plot
was ridiculous. For the most part it didn't seem overly forced, though some things could have been handled better -
kento and tooru were only placed into the story to create drama, they could've been developed so much better and made into much more interesting characters.
Don't have much to complain the girl he chose in the end either - it more or less felt natural.

6.5-7/10.
 
- Illegal Rare by Shiibashi Hiroshi (author of Nurarihyon no Mago)
- Ai Shoujo by Takayama Toshinori (top right)
- Stealth Symphony by Narita Ryougo (author of Durarara!!) and Amano Youichi (author of Akaboshi) (bottom right)
- Tokyo Wonder Boys soccer manga by Shimoyama Kento and Date Tsunehiro
.


Stealth Symphony has a good lead design while Tokyo Wonder Boys looks visually stunning as a whole.

Also guys, could it be that Cavendish' personality swap is not just a random power and it is related to his sword?

We know the swords in One piece can akso be really mysterious, like Zoro's cursed one.

So mayve Cavendish has also a cursed sword, do we know the name of the sword? Maybe it is Hakuba
