That's the single most cutest thing in the entire manga.
Maybe the only one that can be truly described in that way.

To me, the saddest part of the manga is
where she had to come up with this mermaid persona and alter her focus of her reality. The part where she has given up and associate 'violence will cease with time' was also heart-breaking.

Have you read Punpun yet?

Kokou no Hito 1-52

It took me a while notice the shift in art thanks to just how utterly bleak it is. It really a much longer mountain climbing version of Zero. The daunting length of this makes it an emotionally draining mountain of sorts.

also i really don't like women are depicted in this tho thats mostly thanks to the mc's really twisted view of the world

I feel like we're getting to a point where having not read Negima is going from "missing a few references" to "you're gonna be compleely lost" as there are far too many dialogues as of late about characters and events I have minimal knowledge of

Negima's actually a pretty fun read. It starts off pretty shitty and slowly gets better and better (the last arc is like half the manga and is awesome) until the ending kicks you in the balls. I'm guessing all the major plot moments of UQ Holder are going to be related to what happened in Negima so I recommend reading it.

I'll have to remember to grab Maria the Virgin Witch Exhibition!, Fairy Girls! and Die Wergelder whenever they come out over there in America.

I register a FAKKU account to see how much it would cost me to order the physical copies of the 5 books they have for sale as of now. It's always funny when shipping is almost as much as the cost of the goods. With those 60 dollars I could buy 3 more books lol. I'll have to seriously think this over, because 50$ for digital vs 160$ for physical+digital is a difficult argument to beat.

Glad to see Boku no Hero Academia up on the list, great new series. Really dig the characters and art style.

With an anime boost, it likely to be on par or ahead of Nanatsu in sales.

Am most def looking forward to that.

Really hope in the future Keyman The Hand of Judgement gets turned into an anime also as the characters and story are pretty cool. Had just picked up the latest book yesterday too.

When the author stops being an ass and lets the artist wrap it out then it'll end (or whatever that story is supposed to go)

Interesting so its the author is the one delaying everything? Had not checked up on the latest news to see what has been going on with the series. Just figured it was dead lol

Does it get a lot better after the masked maid costume appearance?

I read this and I find it to be the kind of death game manga which I don't quite like.

You know it's really nice to see a Seinen series (Tokyo Ghoul) sell really well, especially when most series that sell a lot are usually Shonen. I mean by Seinen standards selling about 700K is amazing.

Also about Assassination Classroom it seems it didn't get a boost yet, but maybe after a few more episodes from the anime it will likely get a boost.

Isn't it a bit generic, like from the few chapters I read it seems too generic. I don't know I hope it get's better.

Though I have this terrible feeling it's gonna go downhill like Naruto did :(

I often wonder how people go about writing Light Novels.

Like writing a fanfiction

MC really have shit luck with other human being in general, and him being asocial certainly didn't help. Only few decent person that MC meet.

I have books 1 & 2 and quite enjoyable and has a varied cast. Very looking forward to book 3 now.
 
DN Angel Vol.12


One of those twins who is loved by one of the guys but loves the other is kidnapped and now our hero has to pair up with his rival and probably BL love rival to rescue her.

Even if they are trying to save the girl, you can feel the BL tension here.

Well now!

Certainly didn't expect to find a hentai doujin manga for the Last of Us during my Internet adventures! Although the title definitely made me laugh...

THE LAST OF ASS.

LOL.

Happening status is off the charts. Kazuma suddenly gets a girlfriend and Yui as Yuuta has to confront her own feelings about this. Not to mention Yuuta's monologue at the end is only hinting at stuff to get worse.
