Ueki Plus 14

This is the reason I love shounen. Awesome, stylish tactical action! I thought Ueki getting a mop that can grab things would be stupid after the awesomeness of turning trash into trees, but it's being used in pretty creative ways.
Really? After Ueki, the moment he had got a mop of all things in Plus, I was all giddy with excitement to what he'll be able to do with that shitty thing. And he totally delivered.

Man Ueki Plus had some awesome battles early on. Shame it was so short.
 
Yeah, I had already read that he had a dark past (while lurking here actually), but I never expected
something like with Fei/Fay/I forgot how it was even spelled from Tsubasa with the switching (pun not intended) Switches because the brother died and the other brother feeling/being responsible.
 
Dragon Ball SD - Chapter 3

Been there, read and watched that. It would be interesting to see a world where #18 and #17 survived, but I know if there's any future chapters to SD it'll just be ignored so no point.

uh, what's this shit i'm reading about Bardock's fate in Dragon Ball being retconned?

please tell me this is a doujin or something

edit: oh for fuck's sake

It's hilarious that you say this, given Bardock was a character retconned in the manga, haha. He wasn't created by Toriyama, and was only added in as an afterthought. Something worse would happen with the Trunks special, which would only become manga canon in the Kanzeban release (not published in North America).

Sket Dance 1-15

Huh, it does kinda feel like Gintama in way.

Oh god, the little Bossun chapter XD

So awesome.

Not following you, there...

The Kanzenban (literally "Perfect Edition" IIRC) release of the Dragon Ball manga was released in Japan in 2002/2003 contained new and refined artwork in colour, and a slightly different ending to the series. This version of the manga has only been published in Japanese, French and I want to say Spanish or Portuguese but those two I'm not 100% on.

I was actually confused on something (there are 2 manga versions of "The History of Trunks - one by Toriyama, and the other not). Trunks wasn't a retcon, as his story appeared in "Trunks the Story" in the manga serialization as an "Extra Chapter" not numbered in the story.

Yeah, that's what confused me: that special episode was included in both the regular edition and the Kanzenban. And I see no reason to doubt it's always been canonical (or as canonical as something can be in a series that doesn't appear to care much about canon in the first place).

Italian as well.
 
Bleach

I got this from bleachness.

From here, Mel says: Kubo just tweeted on his twitter account

ネーム送ったら担当から「うっとりしました!」って連呼する返信が来た。うっとりってお前。

Got a reply from my Tantou (A term referring to a person in charge) who I sent the name (rough draft of the up-coming chapter) to saying "I was captivated!".
 
survivor said:
It's the reunion of Ichigo and Rukia that will make the fans go crazy for it. Don't why saying "I was captivated" is anything special.

Generally, while editors do like to press the writers to putting spotlight on certain characters, it does not make an editor "captivated". Otherwise, the editors would have been captivated with every chapter starring Hitsugaya.
 
Nononono

His mask is fucking crazy.

That island is fucking crazy.

Well, because they're alive, they revealed the secret and sent the entire island to jail, right? Right?

But seriously that headgear was pretty awesome.

Yeah but it's still a Bleach editor saying this chapter of Bleach is captivating. I don't put too much credibility into what they say about their own manga.
 
Sket Dance 48

Aww, poor J-son sensei, too unintentionally scary for any woman to love.


Umineko no Naku Koro ni Tsubasa

I didn't even know they were adapting these, it's really nice to see the side stories like this. Reading the The Witch's Tanabata story like this just makes me feel even worse for Eva and hate Bern more :(
 
Any new racing manga out there? I know about Initial D (this one is worse than HxH when it comes to releases and I saw the anime), Over Rev! (should pick it up again, it was funny), Wangan Midnight (saw the anime) and Capeta (nobody picked this one up).
 
Ooooohhhh damn that Shingeki no Kyojin group is gonna go nutters over this. Nutters.

I don't wanna be on their site tomorrow. Hahaha.. ha.

I still somehow hope they'll just shut up about it though. It's not a big deal.

Do you consider Steel Ball Run new?
 
F is a good racing manga, too bad there is no english scanlation, but at least there are now some subs for the anime adaption and the first episode is something that anyone should watch at least once, even if just the first 5 minutes, because tractor racing is badass.
 
Sket Dance:

Smiles and Cries said:
why is Sket Dance so popular around here? I'm looking for new series to read

Sket Dance is a comedy manga (with some drama). It's a great series if you enjoy comedy and it's very consistent quality wise. If you've read/liked the series Gintama or the comedy portions of Beelzebub you'll probably enjoy Sket Dance.

Haha yeah. GWR has such an obnoxious attitude towards "stealing" projects so I don't feel sorry for them, but I do dislike the get shit out as fast as possible at the expense of quality many scanlation groups have. The guys who did volume five didn't do a bad job (though the scans were lower quality that the ones GWR usually uses) so I don't really mind, but with a series as popular as Shingeki no Kyojin it's only a matter of time until somebody starts translating off shitty magazine raws that have been photoshoped to hell and back and that will suck.

I personally wouldn't have a problem with this as long as there isn't only 1 group putting it out and doing it in a shitty quality.
 
Witches vol 2

Hinata's story was probably my favourite. Seemed like the most clear story to me.

BTW in the cover pages there are 2 witches, Hinata and I think Alicia, drawn differently than the rest of the manga. Was it Asano that drew them since they look a lot like his style?
 
Ueki Plus vol 3

The fight against the bubble girl was AWESOME. Again, these kinds of tactical fights are one of the reasons I love shounen. Glad there was no drop-off in strategic actions from Ueki.

Yeah that was definitely Asano.
 
Shingeki no Kyojin volume 5 ends on an interesting cliffhanger and also opens up some intriguing questions and possibilities of delicious twists.

Also, I'm already having some laughs from the comments to the release.
 
This is gonna sound crazy but I'm looking for the title of a manga I read a few years back.

All I can tell you about it is that there was this one scene in which the main character(Not sure if she was or not) is being molested on a train (fucked up I know) by some old dude but it turns out she merely lets people molest her for moneyt and after waits for the old dude at the top of an esculator to get her payment.

It sounds very perverted (and it probably was) but It's bugging the shit out of me trying the remember the title. I think it was adapted into a live action film/series too.

Help me here...
 
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha reminds me of Spice & Wolf a lil' bit.

Anybody check out the light novels? Does it get much better?
 
So it's either...

THE HEART

or

15 pages of slashspam.
 
Shingeki no Kyojin Ch. 19-24

The side story with Ilse was really interesting and one of my favourite chapters of the series so far.

Damn, the female titan is absolutely wrecking them. Good strategy by the commander to lead it into the forest where they will stand the best chance at killing it. I can't wait to see her fight titan Eren.

Sket Dance really isn't consistent at all. It's highs far outweigh it's lows in impact, but lows it has plenty off. It's no Beelzebub.
 
Fairy Tail
Well at least Natsu not beat him with a BS power up for now.
I really hope it's some team effort or something else other than Natsu beating him by him self.

Not sure what you really mean, I would say it's comedy is more consistant than Beelzebubs. Sket Dance's non comedy bits are a lot less consistant in quality but all of it is at least good.

I can't argue with you about comedy since not everyone will like the same jokes but I disagree about Sket Dance not being consistent. And as much as I like Beelzebub, I have to agree with pieatorium. IMO Beelzebub is the least consistent comedy wise in comparison to Sket Dance and Gintama.

But that should not matter because beelzebubs is not a comedy manga , it has some jokes like most shonen battle manga and that is all.
No one would call Bleach , FMA , Naruto comedy or care if there jokes are consistent because that's not the main part of the manga .

In fact i would say beelzbubs has nothing in common with SD at all .
SD is more like Gintama without it's awesome battle arcs and cool chars .

Maybe you should have qouted the guy who brought up the comparison

I did it was kreed that said if you like comedy parts of beelzebub you would like SD.
I just quoted his second post and yours to save time since the comedy part of beelzebub should not get compare to SD when it comes to consistent.
One is a battle manga the other is a comedy manga .

but we were both responding to ssomone who said the comedy of Beelzebub was more consistant, the fact that its a similar style of comedy is actually true.

How are they similar from what i have seen SD makes fun of everything like games , anime, real events etc etc .
Beelzebub has the some love comedy you see in shonen allot and comedy from fighting .

There was a whole multiplayer fps bit in Beezlebub, SD also has the love comedy and its not really the content of the comedy but how it is delivered.
