I just. I just don't know anymore, atleast we're getting a faster release schedule now(Thats how I'm interpreting the cover), hopefully we speed through this alien shit.

I really like Kintoki guess i'm one of the only ones if not not the only one but it looks kinda of promising.

His one shot had something going on. I was taken a back a bit with the violence but then I remembered how long has it been since I read Dragon Ball. I wish the guy did something new but he's busy raking in his Dragon Quest design $$$$.
 
Fairy Tail

Not every day you see someone making SFX into actual attacks :lol it's a pretty badass idea. Fuck the chicken though.

Wait, Sket Dance is getting an anime in spring? Aw man, should I continue or wait for that? Tough decision.
The humor is the recyclable type (not as recyclable as Yotsuba or something but you know) so I would read the manga now and watch the anime as it comes out.

However, the manga apparently gets releases every 50 days (by a group that releases twice a week no less. what the fuck), so you might wanna take that into consideration too.

I love that Sket Dance and TWGOK are getting recognition, I've been reading and trying to get people to read them for a long time. Now I just need to get people to read Yankee-Kun to Megane-Chan.

So if you like either of those series, then read YanMega.
I like both of them and don't dig YanMega at all. It's too.. nothing. Humor is not a focus and plot is not a focus and the only major story point is that stupid misunderstanding about her identity.
I did read up to 100 chapters though so it was tolerable in bulk. But I could knock on it for plenty of things without coming up with any positives.

Sket Dance, TWGOK and Mirai Nikki = three consecutive series in my wishlist that gained a lot of recognition here lately. It's awesome. Love all 3 of them.

Chapter 327 is weird. I'm ready for the story to end already. Kae and Tae reuniting in that massive alien ship is gonna go down as one of the most unfuckinglikely things that will ever have happened in a manga, and I don't know how I'll take that.

Also seems 71-73 of Wolf Guy has finally been scanlated. I guess I should give it a read. I mean, we were only in the middle of a Aoshika's gang rape. SMH. PEACE.

Read Yankee Kun already.

In fact i need to check how far they are now since the scans are way behind.

Honestly Sket Dance reminded me of it the most when the Yankee Kun characters become the student council.

That said why did the "O" in iron have a heart in it. :lol

Cuz Levi heart Gazille, duhh. =P ^_^

I hate myself.

Also, FUUUUU Yaki Kun & Megane Chan, I knew there was something else I was following but forgot about for a bit. Gotta catch up on that sometime soon.
 
Fairy Tail

Well Gajeel got the fight he wanted.

I hope he kicks some major ass though.


As for Levy it was interesting how her powers would have helped but given how she is it would last as long. Plus giving the Iron was great.

For some reason she's still a candidate on my list for the person who seemingly dies.

I noticed that too. What say you Angry Grimace?
grumble grumble I just woke up

what

I sort of liked Kintoki. Toriyama should come back and make an actual series, although he should try harder and make something with more thought put into it. What has he actually been doing this whole time? Just retired?

Fairy Tail

o noes gajeel mad
 
Bitch's Life Illustration File

Oh so it was just an artbook. Still it's amazing Akara Toriyama would take part in something like this, his work was laughably tame compared to everyone else's, but most of this book was pretty damn disgusting. It had a pretty impressive collection of artists though, I'm surprised how many I recognized. Oh and Sawamura continues to be an insanely good artist.

Checked out the Moon Walker oneshot from the Prince of Tennis guy and it was alright.
It read like a Japanese MacGyver, with how the guy was able to create anything out of anything, no matter how implausible it was.

That artwork is impressive.
What do you mean by disgusting. Is it a disgusting that could be interesting to see, or a disgusting that's better not to see?
 
Moon Walker

As much as I wound up liking it and Japanese MacGuyver, why wasn't this oneshot about dance battles in an 80s city setting? The potential was endless. :lol

Kintoki

I really liked this. Yet it's pretty much a mismash of elements from Dragonball and Dragonball Z. Help. :lol
 
Fairy Tail

Apparently Levy and Gajeel has been a very popular pairing in the Japanese fandom for a long time, so it's possible it's either ship tease and/or Mashima saying "meh, why not."

Well some of it is basically guro, but I guess it's kind of interesting to see. It certainly has a wide variety of art styles.
 
I was going to post something about the evils of authors listening to shipping dunces, but Mashima is a shameless dude, there's no point.

Well obviously given FT's popularity, its struck some kind of chord. :lol

I'd actually say that at this point, Negima is much less embarassing to read in public on my laptop than FT.

Always a chance he had this planned from the beginning. He probably didn't, but you never know.
 
Saki 73
I didn't like this chapter too much. Yuuki is getting even more in trouble, although she seems still intent on fighting.
I laughed at the color Miko page though. Those tits XD

Speaking of TWGOK, the latest spoilers say that what Keima meant by being a demon is that he intends to
conquer all 5 of the candidates at the same time in order to power up the Goddesses so that they can defend themselves
. Of course, the plan seems to ignore the fact that one of those girls is not going to have a Goddess, and he might have some explaining to do afterward.

In the chapter he evidently
confesses to Ayumi but gets kicked, and the chapter ends with him confessing to Chihiro too
.

The Japanese fanbase is calling him Katsuragi Makoto after the guy from School Days.

kinda sucks since that dude was garbage :/
 
Ugh, the only one shot I've really enjoyed was from the Gintama mangaka. The others seemed...pretty bad. Art wise, they were great but story wise, they're not what I expected from professional mangaka

Still don't know how people get addicted to TVtropes, site is boring.
If you notice one subject you are interested in, you are screwed. Because then you will likely read the examples, and click at least one of the links to that subject, and the process can repeat for a while.
 
So I've been reading I am a Hero because I saw it recommended here. It's really interesting. I know at least one person here has read it, but has anyone else?

That is totally understable. I just don't get why people link to or refer by name to tropes outside Tvtropes. They make the conversation weird and out of place unless every participant is really familiar with them.
