Flunk Punk Rumble (Yankee-kun & Megane-Chan) 1 - 155
Well, it's not the best manga I've ever read, and the student council/trouble-attracting students has been done and redone to death, I still enjoyed it a lot.

Ging was in this chapter.

Ging spoke in this chapter and not off panel either.

Ging for chairman (even though he wont get it )

Screw the haters. This was a great chapter.

Oh boy! I love what this could be setting up and where it could possibly go.

Big factional free for all, hunter against hunter and all sorts of underhanded shit, possibly the collapse of the association.

Morau for prez, believe.

It's like Togashi actually drew this chapter. Also, it annoys me that Ging hasn't visited his son. There might have been a reason but i don't remember.

Kiba remarked that Naruto 'doesn't smell the same' might point to the fact that he is a clone or in Kyuubi mode or whatever, but what if the Naruto that saved Hinata is a Zetsu clone? Hohohohohoho.

...Nah, Kishimoto wouldn't do stuff like that.

Or biscuit. I'm guessing Gon and killua are going to be recovering for this whole arc and its mostly going to be the 12 new guys and kirupika + leorio. At least I hope so.

The chapter was fine, although I feel that showing Ging should've been more like "WHOAH, Ging is here?!" rather than "oh, Ging's here too".

He probably thinks Gon's not strong enough to see him yet. Again.

I liked the one panel of chicken scratch that's in there. I'm starting to wonder if that's a conscious thing, like a style he's adopted and just uses now, since he tends to revolve through a lot of different styles.

I can't think that's just the one panel that wasn't finished on time, so fuck it, leave it as is. Togashi's been far too consistent lately for that.

Ging told Gon on the cassette recording (prior to the Greed Island arc) to hunt for him because he would run away if he knew Gon was close by. Ging's not going to see Gon by choice.

The child he abandoned as a baby and that he didn't want to see if he brought a friend with him.

So, I guess Kishi forgot that clones split the original's chakra evenly.

Fixed it again.

This manga is now about Naruto, Sasuke, Madara, Itachi, 8-Tails, and Kabutomaru. Everyone else is irrelevant and fodder. Even Shikamaru and Kakashi.

No, it just illustrates how powerful Naruto is. If he were whole, he'd by one shoting and running onto the next bad guy before anyone would realize wtf was going on.

I'm being kinda facetious when I say this.

GING SIGHTING. OH SHIT. He's looking dirty as shit, but that's a part of the look you see!

Anyways, this chapter was awesome. That Pariston dude is obvious douche for this arc, but I wonder if all of these characters were all introduced solely for the purpose of voting and stuff for chairman. Personally, I want Ging to become the Chairman, but idk what the chances of that are.

Pariston bringing up Gon's critical condition is a dick move, but Ging handled it like a boss. Countdown to hiatus starts next week brehs

Same here. I mean, his reveal should have been MOAR epic.

"Muu's technique is not cloning, but splitting. The main body simply splits into two parts, which means you don't need hand seals so it's faster, but the parts only have half the power..."

So basically it's completely identical to cloning except it doesn't need hand seals. I'm going to assume Kishi forgot about the dividing chakra rule because he said it like it's something surprising.

Oh, and lest we forget how Zombie-Dan gets randomly inserted into a battle and is talk no jutsu'd without even being talk no jutsu'd.

2 Panels after we see him in god knows how long:

"Wow, he's exactly like me and Nawaki"...yeah bro. That makes fucking sense.

Clearly this is Naruto's latest TnJ that doesn't even require the T.

People just TnJ themselves upon seeing him and all his glory.

No. Cloning is just making a copy of yourself. If the copy is 'killed', nothing changes. If the main body dies, the user dies. Clone intact or not.

In this case it seems like both bodies need to die for the user to be killed? Dunno. Naruto really stopped having cohesion a long time ago.

That is such a non-issue in fights. People ALWAYS fall for the clone, unless they have some jutsu that specifically counters clone shenanigans.

I just realized, in the Kimimaro fight, Naruto decreased his effective strength by a factor of 1000. Which means that by the time he fought the Sauce, he was considerably weakened.

Real victor is Naruto confirmed.

Hahaha maybe it is so. Well, maybe I am just getting too used with how Kishi paced his manga. In Naruto typically things are moving quite fast.

That and I am just not interested in Keikakku as a character--he's just not interesting. And recently it seems like Kubo is trying to stuff as much 'cool face' as he can in his chapters, hahah.

It's got to be more than that considering Ging is included with these 11 characters. Up until this point, Ging was hyped up as one of the most legendary Hunters. Now we have 11 new characters who are on the same level as him. They all have to be legends in their own right.

But all of his clones were defeated, so the energy returned to Naruto.

Which begs the question, does a clone that's defeated hundreds of miles away instantly return the chakra to Naruto? Energy = moving faster than light? Neutrinos also owned?

Wait wait, I thought it was established that once the clone dies you lose all the chakra used to make it.

Oh so it is returned. Well that's silly.

Yeah, actually what I meant to say was more along the lines of whether or not they would be doing anything in this particular arc. Or would they be introduced like this and then we won't get to them as individuals later...possibly similar to how Togashi is doing stuff with the Phantom Troupe.

Man...Gon and Killua, I can't help but want to see what's happening with those two and what Killua plans to do.

The wiki says only the extra chakara the clone has gets returned. So I guess that's better than getting all of it back.

Bakuman (ch 149) -shounen, manga
(derp)
, recycling code 24 [plot]

Well they wrapped up the conclusion here at least. And the ending wasn't absolutely terrible but what was the point of all this? Revenge of the old manga author against the antagonist who pops up like Dr. Claw every few chapters? Can we move on to IDK, something interesting like Hiramaru or another manga? I mean aside from Bakuman not PCP...eh forget it.

Bleach (ch 467) -shounen, action, bankai teasing
Not a bad chapter since I am a fan of both Toshiro and Ikkaku. The only thing I didn't like is how his fight basically ended with a power-out on the fullbring. It doesn't make you wonder anything since Ikkaku could've ripped him apart but power-outs are annoying.

...The pandora crew were off-screen in this chapter but I'm anticipating an experiment going out of control. The pandoras will be in charge of controlling things and the more likely pandora-hacks will do some sacrifice/cinematic action to help stop the revolt of sorts.
Uh...yea about that. Anyway, there is also the showing of the late scientist who is now screwing the top pandora.
__D+__

Koi dano Ai dano (ch 7) -shoujo, romance, girl from Mars
This is now called KDAD because that title is annoying. KDAD, for the zero other people who read it, had a decent chapter. There were nice developments in the main romance and even a bit of humor. The entire premise was blockhead girl wondering what is bugging male protagonist, who she doesn't realize likes her, being the cause by being a blockhead. Still, I've seen worse implementations.

Negima (ch 339) -shounen, action, latin attacks
Almost forgot about this. The three chibi dudes for absolutely no apparent reason use the grow up pills. Then they bring in 3 out of the 50 girls in the story whom I totally don't remember after god knows how many chapters. They get all into the children and then they revert back where only idiots are laughing.

And I'm out of ability to write...but Sankarea is apparently getting an anime via the latest issue. That's alright I guess... Nobody had any thoughts on Diana's comments in TWGOK though? One of the better shounen chapters of late as well.

I C. I didn't read anything elsewhere but that could work. The other goddess's have wings since they have an angelic characterization supporting the love of their hosts. On the other hand, Diana wants Keima for herself therefore she doesn't wing.

Makes sense and is probably correct. Thanks.

All hunters being candidates makes this very interesting. The rat sign definitely fits the vice-chairman, the guys a dick.

Unless I'm completely misreading Vulcan, I think she's totally tsundere for Keima. She starts out hating his guts and then she's all speechless after he does his romantic spiel on Tsukiyo. Next thing we know she's insisting that he carry her around.

Though perhaps the jealousy runs deeper in Diana or something. I don't know. I think Diana just needs more juice because Keima hasn't been doing a whole campaign on her. It took two kisses on all the others but Tenri's only had one.
 
HXH

Where's the part where that Partison guy mentioned Gon? cause I really don't see it.

The way how Ging just randomly shows up is actually one of the reasons why I like HxH so much, it constantly break shonen rules the death of the all powerful King was another such example.
