In this thread: Beam shows he doesn't know what 'deus ex machina' means. Having God say 'yo imma come fix that huge problem you made for yourself in a minute' doesn't make it okay when he comes out of nowhere and completely fixes problems people made for themselves.

i feel like people have been saying this for the past five chapters...

Aku no Hana and Minamoto-kun tend to generate similar posts. :lol

Swagamoto

This is like a new level of hilarious badassery. :lol

One Piece

Finally, Dpflamingo's fruit is confirmed to be exactly what everyone thought it was. That giant string is insane.

Normally, I'd be posting 'RIP Law' if this was any other manga. But since this is One Piece, he might just survive the three death flags he triggered.
 
Like I pay for Google Music services, I'd pay for a service like [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] with the same (or equivalent) level of quality and speed translation to read manga online. Seems fair to me.

Midora can't forgive himself and has decided to get revenge on all humanity. Also it's hinted that
every legendary beast guard one of the ingredient of Acacia's full course, with Delrous (Komatsu's Knife) guarding the secret ingredient, Center.

Perfection, made manga.

Or My BDSM manga can't possibly be this heartwarming and funny

I'm grinning ear-to-ear, I can't believe the author made several chapters dedicated to finding a side-character's specific old video of shemale-on-male porn.

Also, in chapter 100, it looks like Nana finally found out how much trouble Kaoru goes through to make sure the BDSM gear they use is at the best condition it can be. He treats that leather like a pro and doesn't let her know because it would ruin the "cold sadistic master" illusion he has kept.

Though then again, Nana is probably just playing along at this point, since she's heard how many times Kaoru has covered her ass (literally and figuratively) and made himself look like an absolute creep to their classmates in the process.

In this thread you don´t know what you are talking about and just spam ATLA gifs.

I haven't posted a single gif in this thread. I like how you don't actually try to refute what I said and just go straight for the ad hominen.

If you ask someone "why do you think _________" and they say "you're a tool I hate you," you can rest assured you probably won.
 
Bleach whenever i stopped reading-548

I'm still catching up and I'm rather enjoying it, despite some head scratches. Rangiku with the short hair cut is still adorable and cute. Probably because she looks a lot like Ichigo's mom. "Vacuum ice" is still one of the stupidest things I've read in a while, which clearly shows that i didnt read any manga for a long time.

I'm still not sure what to make of Ichigo's and Uryuu's development. Two souls, one nazi general. Huh.
 
Yet another example of how US Manga fans are opressed- Viz Europe is now distributing through Comixology http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/pre...ibution-agreement-with-viz-media-europe-group

The Viz app on iPad is kind of crappy, with it getting stuck on pages all the time. Comixology, which has every single comic publisher (except Dark Horse) under it's umbrella and in one app.

Why buy digital when physical manga continues to be less costly. 5.92 for Magi volumes in print, for example (via amzn)

Magi, Vol. 2: The Labyrinth of Magic
Price on order date: $9.99
Price charged at shipping: $5.92
Lowest price before release date: $5.92
Quantity: 1
Total Savings: $4.07
 
Assassination Classroom 61
tumblr_muf6ajjaMr1qbxqfpo1_500.png


When did Terasaka get all friends orientated and focused now, like his new outlook and take on things, really the dark horse in this manga. I could have done without the mafia being in this but them putting their skills to use against a third party is a development Ive wanted for quite sometime. Assassination Classroom is going to good places.
 
Naruto
Not bad, some action, and a cool final line. Please finish the battle next week. They'll manage to kill Obito probably, but Madara will replace him and enter the final stage of plant no jutsu.

Bad ? Yes, bad enough to justify going mental and then being obsessed with killing his childhood friend? NOPE.

I have friends with what I consider a way worse past, but they are totally fine now.

Punoun is a sore loser who never can get his life right because he is super stupid.
If you don't see how rape can completely destroy a person then I really don't know what to say.

i feel like people have been saying this for the past five chapters...
That's because it's been HAPPENING for the past five chapters!

i just read like the last 5 pages of this thread and its like people weren't paying attention to what was happening in bleach

like the guy who said kubo could have taken 2 pages to show that hollows were poisonous to quincys

when kubo had already taken an entire chapter showing a hollow touching a quincy masaki and nearly breaking her soul apart

It works in hindsight. That's different than actual foreshadowing though. I could have been just as likely that the hollow that bit her had poison in it's teeth or something. Had the same sort of thing been established as happening to Uryuu (or however it's spelled) when ever he took a hit from a hollow that would have been different.

The fact is it was a Dues Ex Machina because of how Urahara showed up randomly with the fix to their problems. Show a panel or two of him figuring it out or experimenting and then it wouldn't be a Dues Ex Machina.

You're confusing the issue of Urahara teleporting in with the solution to all of their problems to one about plot consistency. We never had a reason to believe Urahara was just going to figure it all out and save them, and certainly not that he could reduce it down to pill form.

I think the resistance to the idea is because people seem to not understand what a deus ex machina is, which is, to simplify it, a really big Asspull, NOT a Plot Hole. Since Urahara's explanation for what he did is internally consistent, if you think the complaint is about Plot Holes, its probably a confusing argument.

It seems like I can finally write stuff...

Hi everybody, I'm making my first post here because I read more manga than I play games, so I guess you'll have to put up with me the most. You won't see me here when the talk are Jump's big three because I'm reading them as I buy them and I don't care that much for them either way (I only continue to waste money on them because I have 60/50 volumes already), but except for that I guess I'll be always reading.

First of all, while lurking you I found out about Swagamoto, so I thank you with this:

(If I'm breaking any rule, regarding strict safe-for-work policies or such, just let me know)

This week I mainly read all the translated chapters of Daiya no A (that amount to 15 volumes out of 37 ongoing...) in preparation for the anime series.
I also read the first 24 chapter of Aozora Yell and I'm *really* glad that it was last translated 236 days ago (there are 13 ongoing volumes for this one too...). I don't even know why I bothered starting it (good read, though)
As upandaway isn't doing his job, we need a top 5 manga list from you, you can also do a top 5 each for ongoing and complete series of that helps.
Also welcome.

Bleach - 552

Not sure how it's a Deus ex machina, when we got a whole flashback with the very theme of Hollow and Quincy "DNA" not being able to work together, needing a Shinigami to give up his powers to let that person survive to begin with. Urahara just concluded his decade long research with his new findings from HM and developed those pills. It's pretty random how he got into the room, it's not random at all that he got something to help them with the medallion problem. Kubo has even shown us Uraha experimenting with the black matter some chapters ago.

This is a shounen manga, of course the big twists will come when the tension is up already, not during the beginning.

Spidermoto - 6

Been waiting, been served, it's all good now.
