Can someone help me find a manga's name?

I read this manga in 2014 about people that represent gods and had to go to an old lady's shop for help. One of the characters broke a vase in the first issue. There was a dog there at the shop as well. Does anyone remember the name of this manga?

I see we still haven't recovered from Prison School lol.

On another note, I saw the Baka To Test manga, and so far it is much closer to the light novel as compared to the anime, and I'm kinda dissapointed with the anime. Hope they continue this as the manga is pretty slow to update.

I don't read it as well.

I find it to be repulsive, for some reason. I am uncomfortable reading it.

Though I understand why many in here seems to like it.

........considering that we have many pervs here :p

I know you're kidding around, but on the off chance that you aren't...

I don't read it because of the fanservice (The vice prez is pretty gross) but because of the numerous elaborate situations the author manages to set up. It's basically a manga that constantly manages to one-up itself (each "caper" being more amazing than the last). The strong reaction from many of the regular readers attests to that.

Prison School (at least, the beginning) comes across an allegory of highschool life for awkward, immature teenage boys. Then there's the neat (albeit basic) symbolism too, like the "Eros or Thanatos" panel. Freud believed that humans are pretty much driven by "sex" and "death" and there's a lot of that in this manga.

In short, people can't get away with writing Prison School off as just "smut."
 
I'm pretty sure the VP is supposed to be like Bayonetta, and a grotesque construct of everything that men find super attractive.

I mean, just look at her breast growth. It's ridiculous. And the fanservice scenes with her (remember that time she got stuck on a doorknob?) are equally ludicrous.

Hahaha don't worry I was just joking around.

I wouldn't fault anyone liking it, even *if* the main reason is fanservice. To each their own :)
 
One Piece

Damn that was brutal. DF is a beast. Also, I think Law has bound to Luffy as strong as a crew member in this arc. He won't be a crew member, since he is a captain, but him and Luffy are bound together now I reckon. He is like a new bro to Luffy I think.

I don't want it to be Law, but I feel that we are about ripe for a new crew member. It'd be nice if Oda added on another female to the crew.
 
One Piece

By the way, after Fishman's Island Arc and Punk Hazard, I am really happy how DF turned out. Even relative to increases in power, I feel like DF is the strongest enemy Luffy has ever faced (with a chance of winning). His power is insane. I think Luffy will have to show some new power, not just a move. He did a gattling hawk on DF, and he just shrugged it off.

?? Another one week hiatus? Wait, didn't see that written anywhere...

Oda has no idea to write a strong fenale character that is an ally so I don't want that, eventhough a new female would be cool and fitting Oda is just shit with them

I know... =C

I would really enjoy an interesting female character. It'd be cool if they were up there in strength with Sanji too, it will never happen, but it'd be cool.

I'm happy with this chapter, good to see
Law made a comeback and almost even took out Doffy.

Hopefully the Luffy vs Doffy fight will be a satisfying one.

You guys forgetting Jinbei.
who knows when he joins up though..

I bet on the next bounty batch. Since the begining of the story, the crew has the same dynamic Luffy, the 2 other of the monster trio, and the rest. And this is shown on the primes (even if robin is above Sanji in terms of prime). Jinbei joining up would totally ruin that. I think after the doffy fight, we will have either directly a big mom arc, or a bm introduction arc (as punk hazard was for the current one, but still, something big), so, the other part of the crew do something, and after that, new bounties, and Jinbei joining up, so luffy clearly stay way ahead of the rest of the crew and sanji and zorro are somewhere around Jinbei one (still under it, but not THAT under)

Prison School

Caught up to 171. The extreme fanservice is still unsettling to me -VP is expecially guilty of that- but the plot is really captivating, the characters are great and likable and overall it's a great ride and I'm looking forward to the upcoming chapters (after reading it all in one burst... is it weekly? I hope so!)

My only fear is that it's going to lead to a non-ending like Me and the Devil Blues (i was liking it so much and then I felt the Lost/Lindelof syndrome all over again)

Well... I dunno how to feel about Mari and Kate. Kiyoshi and Hana has taken a strange turn.

Mari's Dad's story is hilarious though lol

Best thing about this time of week is that new hero Academia should be out Saturday or Sunday! Best new series JUMP has had in years.
