Oh boy a confession. How progressive of the protag!

I do like how the protag does feel bad about the confession.

Akumu no Elevator (oneshot; full version)
I initially read this about a year ago and was left baffled by something that seemed to suddenly fizzle out without a satisfactory resolution. Sorta suspected it, but it turns out that wasn't the full thing. The complete 150 page story was released a few weeks back. And it's now my favourite oneshot I've read, or at the very least tied for the top spot with Gin'iro no Kami no Arisa.
It begins with a cheating husband hurrying home to his heavily pregnant wife, only to become trapped in the elevator of his lover's apartment building with 3 strangers. After the group become resigned to their circumstances, they end up exchanging confessions of their deepest secrets. And, well, everything goes to shit from there.
As for why I enjoyed it so much, it was a combination of the subject matter (couldn't stop grinning at all the discussion about
), the black comedy, the twists and all the pieces falling into place at the end. I always prefer it when
fuck everyone up. Overall, a very welcome read after all the rubbish I've been skimming/dropping recently.
genre: mystery, psychological, seinen

Aw the final day of the trip with the night conversation was good. Ill miss both of them when its over.
Beelzebub 1-10
Started off really slow, at one point was just reading for Furuichi/Oga stuff but then once the chapter 7 and such happened it felt like a really good series with tons of potential. His abilities is quite good and when the baby gets excited and dazed about it, I laugh. Looking forward to where it eventually leads.

An end? My friend, that is the new source of rage. There is no end. It just got an anime so it's not ending any time soon. It'll just drag along, limping towards infinity. We're slouching towards Bethlehem at this point.

Hotel: particularly All for the Tuna
Easily my favorite piece done by Boichi.

Well alright. I'll keep reading. I'll keep waiting for the next horrible thing to happen.
I'm surprised that it hasn't been licensed in the US yet.

I think something got lost in the translation- the running gag made little sense. Sad we are nearing the end of the series though
KNIM 1
So, hot chick moves into guys house, starts encroaching on his pursuit of another girl. Nothing offensive so far, it's pretty boring.

Nawa ga Nakutemo Daijoubu 2
After the interruption from Izuko's mom last chapter, I was dying to get some lower body action. Thankfully the chapter delivered on that. Hopefully the relationship can advance more, after seeing that there is some interest in that from Izuko having stayed the night and viewed the video, and we get even more action in that area.

Nothing offensive yet, but Haruto is surely a dick. Volume 2 spoiler
Did Haruto get hit in the crotch by a deer? That's fantastic.

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 43
Woo, they made up.
Woo, they made up.
Haha yeah totally. Love that part.
Seriously guys for your sakes plz stop. It's weird, I hadn't been able to read anything else since starting it and now I feel like its taken over my mind. I've spent pretty much all of today rereading certain chapters re-living the feels. There is some tumultuous stuff. Also whoever said Rin was one of the best characters, I feelz ya now. She's great and always enjoyable.
I also watched the OVA's(crappy) and the first episode of the anime. The anime is weird, they skip a lot of the early story and just start at one of the big turning points.
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 43

And now we've got to wait a month for her to turn the poor guy down again.
I swear to god she better turn him down, if she doesn't just to interject some drama I will drop this manga.

I imagine she'll since we're nearing the ending of the series. I think this is the last chapter of volume 11 and volume 12 is the last one.

There's no going back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Town Where People Interact Very Oddly Vol. 2-5
I thought Rin was going to be some psycho that acted completely unrealistically, but she's all right. I think I see where some of this is going. Haruto got shut down!! He's been less awful lately, though, so that's nice. I don't believe he'll continue to be a decent human being for too long. I don't have that sort of faith in THE HARUTO.

I was intimidated when you said you would read 50 chapters today, Krev, and then I ended up reading over 50! What happened? Hahaha. You know there is only one way out our pact, right?
The Town Where You Misunderstand Vol. 6
The Town Where You Misunderstand Vol. 6
Things sure did turn to shit for Haruto in one volume. Things seemed to be going well, too. Is this a harem manga? I thought it was a love triangle, but if it's a harem... my rage will be infinite.
I said 50! And then I decided to watch all the Are you Afraid of the Dark I could handle (which is A LOT) instead. I'll read a bunch of it tomorrow.
KNIM 3
Is this a school for high functioning autistics? That would explain so much.

Blood Lad Vol.01
So after watching the anime, I got interested in the manga and I like it.
It doesn't match up with the style the anime is doing but it is still enjoyable in its own right. Staz is a fun main character and it mixes fun moments along with nice action. Definitely looking forward to seeing where this series will go.

Surprisingly competent and sweet ending. Credit due to this series for turning itself from something I was apathetic about into something I enjoyed reading.
MGX 78
This is boring. Make it crash or something

Tokyo Babylon Vol.1-7 (End)
That was surprisingly sad. Subaru is the nicest character ever. Now I can go back to reading X/1999.
Bokurano Ch. 30-45
So depressing, but so good.
Niseikoi Ch. 82-83
Well, nothing happened. At least there isn't stupid drama in this series. It's all lighthearted, so I can't hate it that much. I don't mind it as long as the lesser Onodera doesn't get many panels.

Welcome to the El-Palacio 30-31
Lame. If you're going to raise the stakes and mix things up like that, don't then wimp out and restore the status quo so quickly. Would've liked to see more of the inner workings of Heat, at the very least.

Wandering Son END
So I guess this ended. I got bored of the series a while back so it's not suprising that I didn't care for the ending. It wasn't an awful ending or anything I just didn't really care about the characters anymore. I probably won't bother with anymore of the authors works, I find them to slow and they never seem to go anywhere. 6/10

That's some good punk'ing.
Regarding Death 1-23 (END)
Interesting concept, but left me feeling underwhelmed. Partially due to the art.
