TWGOK

moar scanslata drama? :x

Fujimura-kun Mates

Yep, this is exactly how I pictured a harem series if every single person except the main character is batshit insane. Will keep reading.
Man, thought I was the only one reading this here.

This, and D-Fragments! are like... Tsukommi overload.

But they're funny, and I love them both.
 
Where scanlators rush to get the latest manga chapter out the fastest at the cost of actual translation.

No wonder. There was a manga I read last week (can't remember which one) that was so shoddily translated that I was surprised at the sudden degrade of quality.

In retrospect, it might've been TWGOK.
 
Nisekoi 4 - So yeah, I suppose this chapter is basically
confirmation that Onodera is the promised girl from his childhood
.

Umi no Misaki 91 - The fact I'm still reading this means I have terrible judgment.

TWGOK 168 - Tenri is adorable. Diana is adorable.
 
Darren Shan vol 1

Yeah, this is awesome. Expected coming from the guy that did Arago even if this is based on a novel. Kind of a depressing end to the first volume, but great nonetheless. This potentially has everything I would want out of a vampire battle shounen.

Darren Shan is good. I like the mix between battles and story, but I liked mostly the character interactions and the different look at the vampire world.
I'm on volume 7 and still waiting to see
Darren's friend come back in the story. I expect they will fight at some point.
 
Nisekoi

That was one of the most infuriating dates I ever seen in manga. No one can be as repulsive as Chitoge.

And fucking Onodera. Heaven forbid she says yes and end all this confusion, but then we wouldn't have a terrible romance story would we now?
 
TWGOK

Diana/Tenri is too cute. Meanwhile, Keima's still reeling from having to shut down Chihiro like that. I can only imagine what will happen when they have to see one another again in class.

Goodnight Punpun

Well, I just read the entire new volume and... What? Now Punpun has consistently been a series where I have to read and re-read to get the different meanings of things, but from what I've gotten so far, am I correct in assuming that not much happened?

- Something got Punpun to relapse into his helplessly depressed state and Sachi is too bull headed to deal with it. This frustration comes from her manga proposal getting dissected like it did, but instead of accepting the criticism (even if she didn't agree with it), she let the frustration get the better of her. This is also taxing her relationships with others.
- Manga is serious business.
- Shimizu is confirmed to be a bit out there, probably due to trauma over losing his mother early or maybe just compounded because of it. Seki is still working and not finding much enjoyment in life. Both of them run into their parallels in that (weird as fuck) Pegasus dude and his oddly sensible but purely un-emotional/sympathetic brother.
- Aiko's just looming around and dabbling in everything including gravure modeling. There's a Punpun moment coming up and I have a feeling shit's going to be EXTRA fucked up this time.
- Good Vibrations seems like its going to find a way to involve every one of the main characters that were focused on in the early parts of this manga.

Note of Interest: What I'd like to know is, who or what is this new duck like caricature supposed to be? It has shown up in quite a few instances already and isn't limited to any one person's sight like Asano's other caricatures in this series.
 
I was waiting for this manga to end before reading but if its a tragic depressing reality based thing :(

Mostly I read manga to escape reality for a while and enjoy heroes and happy endings
I've read some sad stuff before but they are never as enjoyable when there is no victory at the end

Well apparently the ending isn't as sad as I thought based on an interview with Fukumoto. It actually kind of lessens the impact, but hey, at least it's a happy ending kind of!
 
Liar Game

Surprisingly enough I took it in pretty well. Didn't need to reread anything.

No surprising development yet but fuck if I'm not interested.
 
What did I miss?

Last thing I read was Minamoto-kun's Story. It adds to the perpetual spiral of diminishing morals via reading manga. I recommend it if that's what you are into.

Sad-face reading snippets of the Nisekoi disappointments though. :(
 
HxH

I don't know why, but I'm kinda surprised that this ant arc seems to be about big ants. :lol

It's stuff that could be from a horror manga ("need bigger prey!"). I hope marathoning it won't be as boring as some of you said.

E: aaaand it's scribble time again.
 
And this version despises Bleach. Mangaf just got interesting.

I just know it's him because old posts which say "Originally posted by Beam" are posted by new guy.

I'm just calling him Beam anyways. Easier to type.

That or, Bleach Guy.

Or the Tite Kubo-version of Big One.
 
Air Gear

So I've been catching up on this...

Ok, did Oh Great! just make references to the Occupy movement? There's a lot of talk about the 99% of people who have sucky lives in the newest chapters.

WOOT! finally!

Liar Game

Nao going on her own, would have been a disaster, she was lucky Akiyama was there, maybe he wants to finish off old man?

Nice to see Yokoya full of himself, his downfall will be amusing once again.
 
It was the first thing I did when it got my account approved.

Interesting. I frequently use this one as a reference to an inside joke between myself and my brother but it's often already taken.
 
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha 7

These are some interesting developments. The Hero still hasn't regained the city and it's gonna be tough with all the demons discrimination going on. Plus that Aurora recovery campaign was a disaster.

Seeing how the Knight is now going to be summoned for the next war, I doubt she will refuse. Either Hero will come and help us, or the Demon Queen will help her with some new invention.
 
Is that you, Beam?
Yes.
It is. I didn't even know you could get moniker changes on GAF.
You could. But only once or twice. It´s frowned upon otherwise.

Haha.

Come on, my nickname is not difficult.

Or the Tite Kubo-version of Big One.

This is insulting. I never said you cannot objectively criticize Bleach. As long as the critic is valid and not just troll post or just bull, like Naruto and Bleach don´t have themes in them, than i have no problem with it. Different people like different things.


Is there like only 3 people on gaf who read Vinland Saga? Come on start reading it already.
 
HxH 199

Uhhh, wow. Such a difference in strength. I can't believe hat Keito really died. He seemed more important. Maybe it was just his ability that saved him with a fake body? I dunno, will keep reading, because it doesn't seem that boring right now.

E: what is this crap? It looked like she beheaded him! I want my money back!

Technically Big One is getting the brunt of this one considering he is the adjective being used.

Tears for Big One, wherever you may be these days...

But its fucking long compared to before hence Grimace's reasoning.
PV for Bleach?
 
TWGOK

Interesting change of pace, seems like the reality of this thing we humans call emotions is finally getting to Keima.


Between TWGOK and HxH I can't help but wish it was next week already, I want to know what happens next. :(
 
Liar Game 138:

Very nice return chapter. I might still go back and reread the chairs game, but the way this chapter was handled made it very easy to remember what happened over a year ago.

As for the current events, I'm not thrilled with the reasons why Akiyama and Nao are continuing the game but I'm looking forward to seeing Nao's growth continue.

Fixed.


And keep reading.

It's just a joke using BO as the "One Piece Guy", let's not turn it into a meta-discussion about him again.

Well then I'm being the insulating one for insinuating that the comparison was negative and not just a categorization.

I feel like I've learned something here but I don't know what.
 
Toriko

It´s getting really lame that scanlators are not releasing this manga along with the rest of SJ.
