Fairy Tail 429-430

I can't, I just can't like WTF. Gray turns out to be some secret agent. Really Hiro?

This whole Timeskip has sucked ass
 
Fairy Tail

Count me as relieved we aren't gonna be slogged through more "hatred and darkness" Sasuke bullshit. Gray clearly indicated there he considers Natsu and Lucy friends (with that slight Lucy shipping bait like we don't all know she's Natsu's waifu lol), so when the truth about Natsu comes to light we may not be looking at a whole arc of angsty sickdark, just maybe a few chapters of it then Talk no Jutsu to the rescue.

The Seven Deadly Sins

Dude, face turn Hendrickson is a boss. Wondering how far they're gonna go into this backstory, hopefully not Magi style where it's a whole mini arc.

Yuri Danshi 1-2

So finally got around to reading this...

4030048-8501923744-DeanW.gif




Yuri Danshi definitely lives up to its insane premise. It's the ultimate send-up of your typical hardcore yuri fan; it goes over every yuri convention and mercilessly pokes fun at them, and it's filled to the brim with tons overt references to various yuri manga. It's really fun, and an absolute must-read if you're remotely fond of yuri. Hell, even if you aren't one, it's still worth reading for its ridiculous comedy alone.

that sounds awful tbh

pandering to the worst of the worst shippers, the crazy yuri ones.
 
Kaidan is Dead 1

Comedy series about the 7 supernatural 'Wonders' of a school, who're being forgotten by the children and want to revive the fading interest in them. First chapter was pretty brief, but the premise and humour were both fantastic and I'm dying to read more.

Best panel of those two. Im glad they are drawing nearer to finally solving the mystery that caused them so much pain and anguish.

Unfortunately, it probably means this will conclude by chp 25 or earlier. I will miss it.

Sorry to jump into this thread like this Manga-GAF, anyone know any online stores/sellers who might have OOP/not that popular manga?? Trying to find volume 2 of Maison Ikkoku at a reasonable price/condition. I'm in the UK but will buy from anywhere.

Ebay is one place to look at.
I'm not sure how useful this would be but I tried a quick look and found this used one, so looking around on there you should hopefully find something.
 
BLack Clover 8-10

Pretty exciting conclusion to the fight. I didnt think the negation magic could be used in such a way to reflect it. I think it truly is Jumps answer to fairy tail/7taizai though with a lead who is refreshingly not a leaderish type of character and also not all powerful.

I like how Asta has a pet bird now. Good smile.

Thank you :) yeah Ebay seems like it'll be my best bet. I was looking to get the collected volumes (as I already have 1) but it seems most of that is out of print so I might have to just go for whatever I can get! I thought manga might be easier to come by than anime :\

But that's the exact opposite of what it's going for

It's all about mocking the ridiculously sad delusions of a yuri fanboy. The main cast is primarily composed of handsome males who supposedly do nothing but fiercely argue over their favorite yuri ships. The protagonist constantly dreams up these various dream scenarios, only to have them dashed time and time again. From what i've heard, there's no real yuri in it, and ironically (much to the chagrin of hardcore yuri fans) it's one of the most popular mangas in the yuri magazine it's published in.

Judging from what I've seen on [redacted] and the like, the crazy yuri shippers are the ones that despise this manga.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Trolling or serious? I dont read this series or have seen it. Not interested in it but am curious about your post

Despite being considered one of the "main protagonists", she's very often out of focus.
We also don't know that much about her outside of "ice cold bitch" and "she likes manga"
 
for the new page


Haha @ the salty tears already.


Erina does need more scenes/development though (that scene
with Megumi is a nice start tbh
)



We also don't know that much about her outside of "ice cold bitch" and "she likes manga"

Its funny she's the only character with a somewhat legit reason for being overly arrogant so far. Looking forward to the peg knocking

To be fair, contest such as this are usually more about design and attractiveness than what they actually do in the story.

Erina I think have both of those going for her, despite her character being the uppity Tsun all the way.

Shokugeki no Soma 1-50

This is...pretty awesome. It's intense, creative, informative and most of all entertaining. And the art is pretty awesome with great characters all around.

That said, who's Erina again?

Fixed, the poll isn't over yet.

Also, pretty sure you can vote outside of Japan as well, given its an online poll.

So apparently the editor gave some pity votes for Marui because he's last on the list.

It looked more he was just promoting him so people would at least give him pity votes. The official Twitter account had been doing this with promoting different characters from day to day (not for pity votes, those are just for Marui)
