Attack on Titan

So...
The military police is up to no good and they maybe kidnapped the body doubles? And the one armed chief is probably going to get murdered horribly next chapter?

Attack on Titan

So I think we're officially at the point where every single character in the manga knows more than the readers. I'm super lost.

They're trying to get Eren to perfect body hardening so he can replace the hole in Wall Maria, but he doesn't know how to do it. They gave up because the transformation gave away their location and was draining Eren's strength.

They want to figure out what the Central Military Police are doing since they tortured and killed Pastor Nick and have some sort of agenda involving having Eren captured and killed. The Scouting Legion went into Trost with body doubles for Historia and Eren, knowing that they would be caught and kidnapped.

I get the first part, but for the second, they saw those people near the house (speaking of which, where are Eren and Historia staying anyway), they could've just caught those people if they wanted to catch someone. And they also said that they recognize the Central Police aren't coming to them personally, so what's the point of dealing with these goons.
 
Koe No Katachi has potential here. Get on that shit Kodansha. They said they don't like licensing titles that are too long, but they don't strike when they have the opportunity.

I don't think the Scouting Legion has the authority to just apprehend random people.

I'll be really bummed out if this arc doesn't end with the glasses guy going all IT'S ME DRAGON! on Goomoonwhatever (fucking koreaboos) by revealing he was the one that shot the teacher from Part 1. Gotta give Shioon a chance to take out his former teacher somehow and I can't think of a more ownage way tbqh.

These scar dudes make a pretty sweet group of antagonists.

Cannon God Exaxxion v1-7 (end)
Well, that was underwhelming, to say the least. Even though I had no idea what this series was about I always had the impression that it's one of the more iconic scifi series of the 90s, in the veins of GitS and the like but what I ultimately got was a forgettable nonsense story about nanomachines which didn't even have the decency to end in a satisfying way. The only positive thing I could think of this manga is that the art was technically quite competent, too bad it was hampered by less than stellar mechanical designs and an uncalled for amount of fanservice.
I'm still interested in Sonada's other series, which is supposed to be another classic (Gunsmith Cats) but it will take sometime before I can motivate myself to pick it up.

I plan on buying Nisekoi in the very near future.

Gunka no Baltzar 13-18

Shit's getting real. This is a really good series, I just hope the translations can speed up a bit.
 
Yamada and the Seven Witches 92

Miyamura may have been absent for long but hes better then ever and I can get behind all of his decisions. I like how she is introducing new characters finally and even throwing them right front and center. Shiraishi knockoff character is alright, but I find Jin Kurozaki much more compelling and interesting. Hoping the kissing becomes back into the plot just to see him and Yamada.

Yamada 92

So the new VPs are Orihime and a guy named Kurosaki. Going places.

Also, Tamaki-Odagiri is totally happening.
 
Yamada

I wonder what kind of wacky hijinks will occur now.

My Wife is Wagatsuma-san

Ended up skimming about half of it do to lots of nothing happening. It was pretty funny at first but seriously this guy is a fucking idiot you freaks out about literally everything to the point where it gets annoying. Also, I know that your romance manga needs to have different girls and conflicting feelings and whatnot to make it interesting but this shit makes no sense. I don't understand why this dude is so obsessed with Wagatsuma when he literally knows nothing about her except for the fact that she's nice and is attractive, meanwhile he purposely tries to brush off the other girls with whom he has actually formed real connections. I could get it if he had a "bad end" future but literally every single possible future has him ending up with an attractive girl that is totally in love with him. What the fuck.
 
Yankee-kun na Yamada-kun to Megane-chan to Majo

You know for the whole premise of this one-shot is another body-swap kiss, there was no kissing shown.
 
Fuck, I forgot.

You know the best of list last year? Well best shonen I've read this year are Shokugeki no Soma and Binbougami Ga. Both tied.

EVERYONE GO READ BINBOUGAMI GA.
 
Yankee-kun na Yamada-kun to Megane-chan to Majo
Interesting crossover though aside from the protagonists, the characters didn't interact with each other. Some characters didn't even have lines I think.

Not really? Considering it was about Eren doing things that he couldn't remember (and thus explain) afterward...

Or you could show those things uapening first insteas of the first image being eren crashing down to the ground, especially seeing that the previous chapter ended on how much historia's childhood sucks.

As it is it just seems like they wanted to fast forward that piece of development without properly developing it.

To Aru Kagaku no Accelerator 1

Lot's of nice action. The chapter told you everything you would need to know about Accelerator using a whole lot less words then the franchise is known for. Does anyone know if this will be a short side story or a full series like Railgun?

Probably depends on how popular it gets but I could see it becoming a full series since Accelerator is decently popular. It kinda looks like they have at least a goal of what this covers in the mess known in Index and they could do what Railgun does and either do new stuff in between Index arcs or cover an Index arc with Accelerator doing something.

Or this series could end up evolving into the Accelerator and the Last Order happy fun time show.

Fairy Tail 3...something...

So after watching some of the anime on netflix, I decided to check back in on the manga after not reading since issue 60 or so by clicking through the latest issue...

Is this porn now? I mean, there was always fan service, but...yeah, is this porn now?

If it is a full series I imagine it will mostly be new stuff between Index arcs and maybe a few arcs from Index. Happy fun times with Accelerator and Last Order would probably be pretty amusing. It doesn't really matter in the end though, I like Accelerator so I'll probably like this series no matter what direction it takes.

Everyone though I was just kidding didn't they? Everyone was all "LOL B-dubs can't handle a little harmless fanservice," now you know. NOW YOU KNOW.

Seriously though, I feel like the fanservice has been getting way more extreme as the series goes.

Yeah, it kinda caught me off guard. The series has always been fanservicey, and I'm mostly whatever on that part; think it's kinda pointless, but it hasn't been too annoying or creepy so I can get over it. But that issue was something else. Like, actually in the creepy level.
