Wrestling term for someone set up to lose/throw a match. Unless you weren't questioning the definition.

I speak carny, I just don't think that term makes any sense there...

[Save 'N Quit]

6 chapters in.

And the manga just went from Great to Amazing

I did a re-read of To Love Ru over the past couple of days.

Even with the rushed ending, it's still the best Harem manga I've read, I find it a shame that until recently, Lala's taken a back seat in Darkness, although I'm glad it's still going. It's funny, because it's been so long since I read it, I forgot how good Lala is, and how unlucky Rito actually is with Haruna, unlike most Harem protags, he actually has the courage to confess to the girl he likes, only she fails to hear it each time, but that did frustrate me a bit, since Haruna should have used her common sense the first time Rito confessed to her, and realised it wasn't Lala he was talking to, but then we wouldn't have a story.

Yui and Yami getting more spotlight towards the end was great, even if it was due to personal problems Yabuki had irl, I enjoying the chapters so much that the ending came up faster than I expected.

I might do another re-read next year at some point. 10/10 would read again.

I might read Black Cat soon since it's also by Yabuki, never read it before, or at least I think I haven't.

It's always nice to see another To Love Ru fan

Now you've gone and peaked my interest (didn't click on links/spoilers).

But 106 didn't even really end all that portentously.

I doubt its more than a page or two.

Lala's role is pretty interesting. She was good to decent in the first series. When she took less of a role in Darkness, they kinda portray how awesome she actually is even better. I still don't like Haruna. Probably never will.

 

[MrDaravon]

I really enjoy The Breaker New Waves but I'm not really sure where exactly they're going with this long-term. I'm enjoying the ridiculous ride though, this is some over 9000 shit now.

NISEKOI

ONODERA IS A GODDAMN FUCKING IDIOT.

Naze Toudouin Masaya 16-sai wa Kanojo ga Dekinai no ka? 40

The start of yet another tale of love suffering I bet. Geez... I feel so bad for the guy... the last case went terribly wrong...

TORIKO

I am saying it and I am not ashamed to do so: currently this is the most creative and the most exciting "main" mangas out of the Toriko/One Piece/Bleach. Zoro's move should be interesting but I'll bet it's just a simple large one-hit strike that screams POWERRRRR and nothing else.

And WTF is going on with Bleach anyway? So sudden with the Deus Ex Machina Lovecraftian creature like that, so goddamn lame. The last page was cool though.

Toriko is very creative in how it handles fights lately with all the major Kings, I am actually impressed by it. Love it!

Dem Waves 191.2

SHIT JUST GOT REAL. Did this dude just turn into an innovator? He's got a real Gokuish look in his eyes with traces of Ichigo getting ready to wreck shit. 9AD is going to fuck around and get surpassed in this battle. Let's all take time to thank the author for actually fulfilling the cover art for this manga. 192 chapters later the author explains the significance of earlier cover art.

I went back and rereard The Breaker in advance of this manga and must say it's a joy to see the little little homie finally turn into the big homie. What's the significance of the Phoenix Cry? Where do you see this going?

My Love Tiger

Is it me or does this author release a new chapter every day?

Spoiler

If there's a tiger and a bear then where's the lion?

 

[victreeb3l]

Caught up with all of Girls of the Wild's. This arc is great, finally some good stuff happening after a major lull. I was hoping the Wilds Guard would finally fight this time but I guess we'll have to wait until theres an apocalyptic scenario for that to happen. I'm totally rooting for Hye Shin Kim's coach.

Wild's only really won two of the matches so far, with the other 2 being total ass pulls. However, the chapter with the Queen fanboy losing was the funniest chapter in a while. Hilarious stuff.

I guess I'll catch up on Nisekoi and Soma. Are there any other worthwhile series to follow on LINE Webtoon? Hows Orange Marmalade?

They dumb brah. They said AssClass would never sell over here and it's selling great for a new manga with two volumes. Where the fuck is Silver Spoon?

Lookism

Neat premise, if unoriginal (bullied boy swaps into bishounen body every 12 hours).

Overbearing in how it handles its drama, but still somewhat enjoyable.

Surprised it's so short, though. It seems to end on a random chapter.

Reading Solanin atm.
Asano, you could have at least made that dude's demise less obvious. More obvious than an obvious tsundere in a shounen ffs.

still a good read all the same though.

Yeah, Haruna and Rito are probably the basis of how Nisekoi's Raku and Kosaki act around eachother, except Rito has the guts to confess, she did take a backseat to Yui though, which ended up being a great decision.

The Breaker: breaking breaks 191.2

We in full SuperSayan territory. Raise your hand those that didnt see it coming.

Yup, the way he transformed isn't much different from Goku vs Frieza, or Gohan vs Cell. I wonder if his aura and hair are coloured gold.

Heh. i just brought up elsewhere How I kind of see Haruna as other people see Onedera (boring as fuck girl who I'd rather see written out). And I normally like nice girls in these things. And god how I hate the dog.

Solanin end

Apart from obvious attempt in tragedy by Asano, I really enjoyed reading this one.

I really liked the end. Meiko progressed so much... She and her friends will do just fine without him.

I can somewhat relate to the loss suffered.
Most of my friends irl are either

A. Dead
B. Prison
C. Missing
D. Living
E: Estranged

I still remember the feeling of losing someone to an accident or being felled by another person.
To see these guys dealing with That dude's demise reminded me of my own losses.

One can only jog on forth to honor those who can no longer jog along with me.

Yeah, i agree what make Solanin great is how most reader can relate to the character.
Trivia: Solanin is the manga Sachi Nanjo wrote in Punpun.

The editor and Sachi talk is definitely Asano taking a jab toward his editor/ mainstream manga industry. Then there's that dude who resemble Asano criticizing Solanin story.

Kanojo no Kagi o Akeru Houhou 14-15

Damn gramps ruining the New Years fun. Onee-san teaching Haruma how to grope boobs properly was amusing but the growth diary thing creeped me out a little. Neither of the sisters seem to care but it's pretty fucking weird that your Dad is taking a naked picture of you every birthday for a growth diary. The characters laugh it off as "lol photographers are weird lol" joke but I still found it gross.
