Jesus Christ poor Yanda. I thought it was just Yotsuba who hated him.

Dead Dead Demon's Dededededestruction ch41

Hopefully with that she can move on.

Zannen Jokanbu Black General-san ch27

General is such a monster. The poor rookie.

Mob Psycho 100 ch98.1

Poor Prez.

Ojojojo ch39

Well he made some progress at least.

Yuri Mekuru Oshigoto ch4

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
One Punch Man (ONE) 109 V5

Haha what the fuck was that technobabble BS they were talking about? The Dolzena-Bring Reaction? King just BullShit No Jutsu'd Atomic Samurai and his cronies.

One should do a spin off series where King and Reigen just try to out con and bull shit one another.

If King and Reigen teamed up they could rule the goddamn world.

Catching up. This is masterful stalling here, things are really going at a snail's pace. Is the coach gonna have a training arc next?
What's this Naruto Rock Lee training bullshit lol?
 
Black General-san 27

General too stronk.

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 38-44

I wonder if I will ever see a chapter where MC gets the better of Takagi.

Kaguya wants to be Confessed 48

Poor prez cant handle all that alpha power.

On the topic of Rock Lee:
After finishing Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4's story mode and realising once again just how dumb the series got, going through adventure mode and reliving some of the older fighting scenes in the series really shows just how much better it was. Rock Lee fights especially were hype as hell. Hidden Lotus was such an awesome attack, his fights always kept me at the edge of my seat. It's ridiculous thinking back on how hard earned a simple Rasengan was, or what it meant to have Kurama's chakra, only to later see power-ups without rhyme or reason in a bosh rush with shallow villains.

I'm actually not even sure anymore if Bleach truly ended on a worse arc than Naruto.
Could someone make a new Bleach game for that?

We are not worthy of this greatness. Makes Prison School look like a JOKE.

To you, The Immortal 5-8 I forgot about this for a second. Still good and I secretly love how baffoonish these villains kind of are. Besides that one attempted rapist guy, these guys have been kind of tame in the evil category. Also ten bucks on Fushi being
an alien.

Mob Psycho Huh, a prez arc to mellow out the sad. Okay. I find it kind of funny, usually stuff has the small stakes side character arcs before catastrophic world changing battles.

Demon's Plan Yeaaaaaaaah this is going to get canceled soon. Also ha ha his name is Billy! What a dumb name for a dumb beard!

Dead Dead Demon's Dededededestruction 41

If you think about it for more than a second, Koyama's relationship and obsession with her teacher is really fucked up.

Pretty much. I really wonder where its going with it? OR what even the teacher gets out of it? Does he like having someone care that much about him? I kind of understand that sad appeal, if that's the case.
 
Taiyou no Ijiwaru

A manga I didn't know what was about I choose to read because the cool cover
9mDRc8L.png

and the author herself, she did before Eternal Sabbath which I liked it.

It happens to be a short story compilation volume (god another one!), with four stories:

A Strange Gene: Not bad, it has a nice twist though it isn't that original (hint it also appears in a Leonardo DiCaprio movie). The problem is that I felt the story was too compressed, the character study that is done feels rushed and unnatural because of this.

Strange Trait: A writer reminiscences about an old friend and writes a book about her, and her fascinating personality, and how things were not as they seemed at first, and how people change with time. I liked the end part, how in the end, the really interesting thing was her viewpoint, more than her friend.

The Rainbow Fish: Possibly semi biographical 'realistic' story about a student art, from being a small child to adulthood, and the marvel and cynicism that humans can have about art.

Damned Sun: Edgy, weird girl meets guy who
is in truth a gangster, he has to make a hit and ends dead
, changing her forever. It's a so typical story, and I don't think this version is particularly good. In fact at the start of this week I've read another story with the same plot of another author! Their personality feels weird and just out of this world.

In summary I liked Rainbow Fish and Strange Trait.

 
ive been reading alot of weird shit lately thats not safe for gaf

You should read more pure and wholesome stuff then. Its good for you.

Anyway...

Tsugumomo 32 - 41

Man, Sunao's mom doesn't mess around. She gets right to the point.

Also these new chapters with the classmates are pretty funny. And Shirou is a terrible person.

I'll bring the toilet paper.
 
I also wouldn't call the sex/rape scenes in Berserk "pandering".

The problem with including rape in comic books is that the artists or publishers aren't willing to horrify and offend people. If you need something like that it has to be gut-wrenching and hard to read. As soon as you're unwilling to evoke that level of emotion you're pandering. There's no such thing as an inoffensive rape scene. Any attempt automatically reads as distasteful and it's either off-putting or pornography.

For the time in which Berserk's infamous rape scene happened it was horrifying. You can't look at it from a 2017 perspective since he probably would have handled it differently in today's market.

Heck I'd say it's still a ghastly scene that makes Griffith look like a scumbag and shows how cruel it is when Caska becomes a mute after it which is what it should. Its only been in recent years with the warriors game and some recent anime promotional figures that they've made the rape scene pandered for the audience.

One Punch Man Pretty good fight so far, but I am more than ready for this arc to be done.

Seven Seas licensed Spirit Circle!

I hope this has some good success or something. Honestly, all I really want is a Spirit Circle anime (How has this not happened yet? Its freaking perfect for an anime!) and this is coming from someone who usually loathes anime adaptations of manga.

It should be mentioned that the scene is supposed to be a little (Sorry, this is the best way I can think of describing it) tantalizing, a little sexy. Not for the usual reasons, but to make the reader more uncomfortable with not just what they're reading but with themselves as well for enjoying the scene even just a little. I think that little bit of tantalization makes the scene way more fucked up than other more shock value scenes in the series. It creates a cognitive dissonance in a person's head and that kind of stuff tends to fuck with people a lot more.

And some people believe the anime it's just another 'fujo' series in the wake of Yuri on Ice! They won't know what hit them!

Ha!

I just want the anime to get to a second cour for Chinatsu to get on the scene. Also, I laughed at her dad doing his all to get the ship sailing.

One Piece

Not even going to bother commenting on anything else this week; what a disappointment, a giant cop out that ruins any sense of tension this arc had. Hurr durr, all threats were perceived and don't actually matter. It's like if at the end of Marine Ford, Ace and Whiteboard lived instead.

They still need to beat or flee from big mom so is not too easy to leave the island

Hey, guys. Been a while.
I went to a concert for one of my favorite bands recently. They had Togashi (Yu Yu Hakusho/Hunter x Hunter) do two designs for their newest shirts, and I bought one. I fucking love it.
 
Mousou Telepathy 1 - 102.5

Saw this mentioned so I gave it a read. Interesting story about a girl Nanako who can hear people thoughts. Though like the first third is how Toda-kun has dirty thoughts about Nanako. Though now I'm wondering what happens next now that she actually told someone about it.
 
Fureru to Kikoeru 16

Why you gotta be such an MC, MC? Make love, not drama. Upsetting Satori oughta be punishable by having a Jizo dropped on your head. Also I'd strongly suggest listening to the girl who's lived with that power for xx years.

since when Wendy can do body switch? it doesn't even make sense,tho all battles in this series doesn't make sense too.
 
THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls - U149 4
It's not a competition, but that's still a tough act to follow. Figured there'd be something wrong with Arisu's performance. Not sure whether it's a quick fix for P-kun, or some underlying issue that'll reoccur throughout the series.

Welcome to the Ballroom 1-3

Hey, this is pretty cool so far. A lot of these early parts are reminding me of Ippo a lot right now, even down to the comedy bits. Sengoku straight up makes Takamura faces lol.
 
Sorry for the random question, but is manga worth selling on? I've a a large box or two, Monster, Zetsubou Sensei, Petshop of Horrors, Clover, etc.

A large eBay sale?
