Raqiya vol 4

d02ef2751dbbfbd70a8195b4494aada1a4323a39.jpeg


Boichi does make some nice looking covers, but looking at those Sun Ken Rock screens some posts ago, he also makes his characters all the same.

I don't like the way this volume ended and some consideration Luna made before her fatal decision, but it's just one volume left to go, so time to wait to see how it all ends.
 
Sun-Ken Rock cpt 20-46

So the whole casino business is to get the casino back to Soo. I await Ken´s inevitable revenge on white dragon. The whole casino arc was underwhelming.

Really? cuz i'm at the beginning of it right now.

Will see how it goes then

Yea i thought it was Yumin at first until i processed the entire picture.

Why are people complaining about Nisekoi? The gang stuff is finally going to have a little more prominence, and it was just standard romcom stuff as usual for the rest of it.

Random chapter complete with random Yuki naked ass shot for no apparent reason with what appears to be erm, a reverse shot of her lady parts and then a chick taking it from behind on the same page with obviously erect nipples.

What am I reading again?

Because whenever this manga remembers its shitty gimmick, it becomes awful. And not to mention now that Onodera is dead, the manga is even worse.

Chitoge > Onodera anyway, and I definitely remember people complaining about the lack of gang hijinks in the previous chapters.

Nisekoi 15

It's pretty safe to assume the guy her creepy bodyguard hired is just some bishie who's supposed to woo her away from him.

And that's why the manga is doomed to mediocrity.

Onodera is just the typical childhood friend who will never summon the courage to confess, at least Chitoge does stuff other than blush and fidget.

Or some cute girl who will fall for the MC. you can't overlook that possibility!

Snowblind, Shinichi Sugimura

It's a little one-shot about cocaine in the snow. Pretty good. Rather brutal. It's like twenty pages long, y'all should read it.

True, the bodyguard seems like he's into the girl, so that would make more sense
 
Fairy Tail 271

That was actually more intense and epic than I expected. Lucy with the simultaneous summons for the win. Finally she can rise in the ranks from being the weakest on the team to now being the weakest of the strongest ones on the team. I love how the main cast are now all strong, it seems to be an excellent feature when not even a weak character can get in the way of the action and can truly have some awesome looking attacks and scenes. And lucy at that, excellent. I was hoping that she would have pulled out Loke! Though maybe next chapter.

Arc is swiftly rising on top list of fairy tail arcs, getting Zeref involved, epic plot direction!

to love ru darkness -

X-ray glasses, oh my. So Rito sniffs some weird space flower and becomes a man a raging pervert, who uses his newfound powers of seeing through clothes for the greater good. It's a desperately needed change of pace from his usual shy antics . . . until Momo snaps him out of it.

For one chapter--you could see, in the horizon--greatness. It's a pity that Yabuki will never ditch his softcore porn antics and take a step towards fashioning a masterwork like Sora Oats.

I told you it would be super interesting this month!

MANLINESS. I'm on a yakuza phase right now, ha ha.

Magi 1-68
I didn't expect to be hooked, but heh. I like that there is an arabian nights-themed manga out there.

HxH
Hmmm, I sense the final arc coming...

Naruto

One Piece
I find it funny that Oda satirizes the image of samurai. I eagerly anticipate the next chapter.

Breaker : New Waves
Yay for Jinnie. So MOEEEE~ ahem.

Silver Spoon 30
I expected more of Hachiken's family, but well...
My interest is piqued as to what is in Area 51.

Beelzebub 144
Good chapter :)

I'm bored, better look for some new manga I could read...
 
Urgh. Another rough spot for the Viz app. Just finished reading vol.1 of "I'll give it my all...tomorrow" and hey, there's a popup when you finish the volume. Alright, that's where it points me to volume 2 in the store, right?

Nope. It's a shortcut to order the print version of volume 1. "Now that you've read this, it's your chance to order the physical book!". No shortcuts to the next digital volume.

smh

Gaku 1-2

Glad to see someone picked this up, I've been wanting to read it for a while.

Kind of surprised by the ending of chapter 2. Leaving one of the guys trapped under the snow was not what I expected.

Paying to get advertised to is the shittiest model ever.
 
Satanister

So since I'm such a masochist, I had to start another series that hasn't had a translated chapter in a long-ass time.

This is basically what Suda51 would do if he did manga. A tournament for serial killers that all have their own ridiculous quirks and a psycho nun that worships the anti-christ to stop them. The 4 chapters that have been translated so far are amazing and make me angry that I started it since there's 4 more volumes that need translating.

Well you're on the right track. However, hair powers need to be hair-all-over powers. Then you could all kinds of "bombs".

The reference to the "redness" of her hair leads me to believe Lucy will fuck it up somehow and she'll go berserk. Hairchick looks like insane Lucy as it is.

Break Blade 55

Oh jesus titty licking christ

Wtf happened in the last 5 pages? I'm not sure what Sigyn is getting at with her question, does she have feelings for Hodr?

Man I am so fucking pissed right now, I don't want to see it turn into some kind of romance drama. I don't think it will, but it better not do a 180 and show that Sigyn actually loved Hodr the entire time or some stupid drama-inducing crap like that, because the mangaka has clearly been showing us the opposite until now.



Break Blade 55
I'm confused. I thought Sigyn was totally into Rygart and Hodr didn't actually love her?


The mangaka is doing this to either prolong the manga or because he's a dumbass.

Sucks that the scanlation is stuck. I've read it all and it's not bad.

Yeah, the author should've just finished it there with some kind of happy conclusion if he's going to keep shitting up the series with political noise that nobody cares about and dumb romance drama that doesn't follow any lick of sense that was already established


edit: Oops, thought Girge was that general Borcuse guy. But yeah for me, it ended up being garbage ever since Borcuse died.

One Piece

Cool chapter. Read it a while back but haven't posted here in a bit, soooo... I'm already liking this samurai head though, he's quirky as hell.

Bleach

Was that a smirk at the end of this chapter? Arc confirmed for greatness. :lol

Beelzebub

Goddamn, Futaba annihilated team Beel didn't she? :lol

Medaka Box

Musical contest now? Well I guess at this point, anything goes. I still wonder what Saki's deal is and why she's there at the school in the first place other than for Zen development.

The World God Only Knows

All hell's breaking loose (literally) and based Keima takes charge. I just love how he's all "brb mackin' on Ayumi" when faced with a potential melodrama moment. Kid's got style. :lol

Soul Eater

Why can't I shake the feeling that this series is going to have a downer ending? :(

Also, as much as I love the art in this series, I feel like certain elements lend themselves better to animation (see the Soul Eater anime) than they do to the manga. Kid's fight scene especially stuck out to me as suffering due to this.

Finally, Maka & Chrona time. Hope it all goes well and Team Spartoi gets to the main stage. I think this is the endgame now.

Fairy Tail

Crazy hairbender vs. Lucy... Eh, don't know if want. Also, I was wondering when the knights would get involved with Fairy Tail again, but seeing as it could be another blind Zeref fan boy instigating this conflict kinda tempers my expectations.
 
Lucy just needs to summon Gemini and have them copy Erza Laxus/Gildartz/Makarov . G_G

Fixed.
Casino arc is pretty damn good. Beam is kookie.

Not really. I really dislike the fact that everyone of the LT joined him and preached him etc It was shonensk.... That meant he had little to no conviction to fight them in the first. Besides it was a bit sappy with my friends follow me because they like me. Besides 7 vs 300 is way ridiculous.
 
Saki 93

This is a short, 12-page sidestory chapter. It's good -- it tells some more backstory of one of the members of one of the other teams Kiyosumi's facing, and it's solidly done and cute, but the chapter was so short... oh well. At least unlike this month, the first chapter for next month wasn't dropped, so there will be a March 2 chapter.

But anyway, yes, it's a good chapter as always. That character's clearly pretty good, if she can win easily like that.


GE

Same old, same old, just with a little more (imagined in the MC's head) fanservice than usual.


Fairy Tail

Pretty good fight so far, I just hope Lucy wins it. As she said at the beginning, with how Raven Tail has behaved so far, they sure deserve to lose.

Also, so some of the plot behind the tournament is revealed, and it's entirely predictable. What, so the villain's underlings are behind this? How not surprising. Decent chapter though.

GE

Random chapter complete with random Yuki naked ass shot for no apparent reason with what appears to be erm, a reverse shot of her lady parts and then a chick taking it from behind on the same page with obviously erect nipples.

What am I reading again?

What, you mean how that was more fanservicey stuff than the series usually has? I guess that's true, yeah. I don't know, trying to increase interest in the series through more fanservice or something? GE gave up some time ago on trying to be interesting through a good plot, so I guess this was next on the list...

Yeah should have ended there. We're only a few chapters in anyways so we can't really judge. The emo Rygart was to be expected though but this..
