At least in Rage Town there were reactions at all.

In this series it just makes no sense because Seo isn't competent enough to make the story flow and make sense. The entire plot of the last 30 chapters was Yuu coming to grips with the fact that his songs might not be as commercially popular as his rival's songs, but they resonate with the listener as being meaningful.

Except now they aren't because some random new character said they suck and now everyone agrees the band sucks and all their songs are garbage despite that being the opposite of the plot up until 1 chapter ago.

I was talking about the fanservice when I said pandering. XD
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That's the problem though - the only thing there is to even comment on is, "oh random boob."

Kamisama no Iutoori Ni Chapter 132

The finale with the gathering of all its outrageous characters is here.

Starting off with full color nude Karin? Yes please.

Nice chapter over all, again a nice call back to Love hina antics. A volume of romance leading into the fighting will be quite welcome, given how long his tournament arcs tend to run.
 
OPM One 104

lol at the serious cheesy tone in the beginning... there fight is dragging itself into other serious battles yet these two don't give a shit lol

My Hero Academia anime will be produced by BONES.

wow lucky

I am somewhat salty though that it wasn't Toei
I have had dreams crushed by Toei so even though I read MHA having it fall to Toei is something my twisted self would somehow take relish in


then again that means I have a good anime to look forward too
 
OPM one

After reading the one version, I'm starting to get the feeling the S-rank 1 hero might not be real, or might be a placeholder that's being saved for the hero who inspired the organization (Saitama, but the association doesn't know that yet)

i've been reading Spotted Flowers and tbh it's not that great (especially after the unmitigated awesome of I Don't Understand What My Husband Is Saying) so I'm kinda scared to ever go back and reread Genshiken because there's the distinct possibility it's worse than I remember. That said, I didn't really like what I saw of Genshiken v2 or whatever, so maybe the mangaka just got worse.

Nidaime is not as good as the first one, now that it become thing that it parody in the previous one.

Kiss him not me 1-latest
this is hilarious. Feel bad for the guy since protag only care about her fujo hobby.
 
The Little Match Girl 2
Through fire, justice is served!

Of all the series I wanted to see revived from stasis, this was probably #2 behind Screaming Lessons. Even at this early stage, it's clear that it'll follow a similar formula for each of its chapters, but I'm not complaining since it's basically my favourite formula for manga. I'd like to see a diversion for more background on Rin later though, or at least some more direct involvement from her (like in the one-shot). The "price" of the matchboxes was a new addition, but it's more intuitive than giving them away for free. Even if the buyers do ultimately pay for using them anyway.

I hope not, it's kind of lame even though it's very possible.

Gisèle Alain 1-9


A young aristocrat lady works as an odd jobs specialist and landlady, tricking one of the tenants (who also happens to have a crush on her) into helping her out. For the most part, a nice, relaxing series about a young, free-spirited girl learning about the world around her, with the added bonus of pretty art and Hyouka eyes. Unfortunately I can't remember much of the last chapter I read so that's probably a good sign that I'm far too tired to read the rest of this.

It was alright. The story maybe isn't anything to write home about but with some surprising developments, quirky characters and general, weird and understated way in which it is told, it ended up being less cliche than I feared at the beginning. The bigger pull is the very unique art, to which I warmed up quite a bit, one that with the aforementioned characters and the unusual storytelling creates a very memorable atmosphere.

I started reading this the other week, entirely because it seemed like something Kaoru Mori would make. It's nice and easy-going, maybe not on par with Mori, but Gisèle and her adventures are pretty charming. Seems like the mangaka only puts out a few chapters a year though. Sucks.

Sumika (One-shot) by Sagami


Two friends reminisce their time together as they part ways. A classic but touching story, and I did like the somewhat muddly art which conveys their connection to the sea well.

Uh huh. Sounds perfectly legit.

Again, they're all screwed though. This chapter proved it yet again.

I'm gonna laugh when it turns out that Touta just is Nagi via timey-wimey hijinks. That or Negi, Nagi and Touta turn out to be the same dude and all merge into one being: the Pornomancer.

Finally on viz site. Great start, thought it was sad at first and then with the reveal but then a part of me was happy we moved on to somewhat lighter and happier things, with Mirai realizing that yes he is alive and that he needs to be happy for his familys sake.

I hope this time the lead character of a story can actually become the god. Please no kill him off Death Note style again, thats bad writing.

Never forget Tegami bachi.

People trade porn magazines?
Don't these people have internet.
They're using Line, so it's not set in the past or anything.
Are these guys just dumb.
